My Sims’s goals are to talk about her job, work on her novel, become a better writer (because writing skill is distinct from actually completing assignments, isn’t it?) and be worth $20,000.
In case you’re wondering if I’m going to outgrown making myself as a Sim now that I’m in my thirties, I’d like to point out that this time I’m a Fairy sim. I just got Sims 3: Supernatural, and I didn’t even finish reading what Fairies can do, I chose it the instant I saw that Fairies spend several Sim-lifetimes as Young Adults, before they have to become Adults.
