Stages of The Big Happy Family Aspiration

Each aspiration in The Sims 4 has many levels that your sims are going to need to work through. As you complete individual tasks your sims are going to get satisfaction points that they can spend on different reward store items. The sims 4 big happy family aspiration has four levels for your sims to work with.

Level 1: Readily a Parent

• Become an Adult
• Spend §1,000 on Kid’s Stuff

The first stage of the sims 4 big happy family aspiration is pretty self explanatory. You will need to become an adult before you can move on, which makes sense since teens can’t have children in the game.

You’ll also need to spend §1,000 on children’s items, this can be things like toys, books, children’s furniture, etc. Anything under the kid’s section should count.

Level 2: Caregiver

• Read to a Child for 2 Total Hours
• Become a Parent
• Socialize with Your Child 10 Times

The next part of this stage is actually getting ready and having babies. You’ll need to become a parent in this stage which can be done through the adoption process or through trying for baby on any of the woohoo locations.

You’ll now need to read to your children for two hours. To do this you can open up any bookcase on your lot and choose one of the children’s books (white book with purple markings) and choose read to child. You’ll need to read to them more than once to fulfil this part of the aspiration.

You’ll also need to socialize with your child 10 times, this is any type of social interaction so it shouldn’t take long.

Level 3: Loving Guardian

• Be a Parent to a Child with 3 Friends
• Be Friends with 3 of Your Children
• Have a Child Get Married

In this part of the aspiration, some of the actions of your children are more important than yours. First, you’ll need to have a child who has 3 friends or more. This means you’ll need to work on getting your child’s relationships up to fulfil the aspiration.

You’ll also need to become friends with 3 of your children, meaning you must have three kids to finish the big happy family aspiration. You can easily become friends with your children through basic parenting and socializing.

Finally, you’ll need to get one of your children to get married. This is one of the reasons why this is a long aspiration, you won’t be able to finish until your children are grown.

Level 4: Big Happy Family

• Socialize with Your Child or Grandchild 10 Times
• Have 4 Grandchildren
• Become Good Friends with 4 Children or Grandchildren

In this section, you’ll need to socialize with your child, or your grandchild, 10 times. This is easy and I’m not entirely sure why it’s in the last section, since we already had it as a requirement earlier.

Next, you’ll need to have four grandchildren. This means your sim’s children will need to have their own babies, so try and keep your elder alive for this long! Since you’ll probably be an elder by this point unless you play with a long lifespan.

Finally, you’ll need to become good friends with at least 4 of your children or grandchildren. Just continue to talk to your kid’s and their kids to get this done, this one is rather easy. You also have the option of using relationship cheats to make this happen more quickly.

Reward Trait for The Sims 4Big Happy Family Aspiration

If you can manage to get your sim through all four levels of the big happy family aspiration, they are going to be given a bonus trait: patriarch/matriarch.

This bonus trait is going to be really useful in raising families because it states patriarchs/matriarchs give their children boosts to gaining skill when they are nearby. This means that if you sim is in the room while their children are skill building, the children will build skills more quickly, making them better!

This seems like a really great reward trait, but honestly, by the time you finish the aspiration your sims are going to be elders and won’t be spending much time with their kids while skill building anyway.

Final Thoughts on Sims 4 Big Happy Family Aspiration

Unlike many of the aspirations in The Sims 4 this aspiration is going to take your sim’s entire life. You’ll need to start having your babies really young to benefit from finishing the aspiration at all. It honestly takes so long to complete and can get really boring to not be able to play other one’s in your sim’s lives but it’s still a fun one to have. Happy Playing!
