eight's Aspiration Calculator & Personality Coder For the Sims 1 and the Sims 2

I'm reposting because I made some updates! But the link will stay the same for as long as I can help it. The SimPE Order version is included now and I won't be keeping the old link to it up-to-date.

Feel free to use/copy/edit/share/etc. To use, simply make a copy of the spreadsheet where you are the owner or download it as a file. More info under the cut.

The Aspiration Calculator:

It includes calculations for HB's Traits Project with room for other trait mods, and is designed for the calculations to be customizable because maybe you don't think a non-committal Libra with high outgoing points should be a Romance sim. It's also designed to be used as-is, so you can get right down to it. Its initial settings may be derivative of other calculators but these are the settings I use it on. For the record, there is a built in tie-breaker function that will prioritize them in the original order they're listed.

The Personality Coder:

This one is a little different. It's basically meant to put all of the numbers and traits that make up a Sim's personality into a simple code so you don't have to look them up and then type them by hand every time. I find myself always having to do this and I got tired of it so this is my solution. In my hood tracker there's a field for personality codes, and I catalogued them for every premade.

Changes:

Aug 4th, 2023:

Added the personality coder/decoder

Added a guide in the first tab

Tokens are less weighted

Traits are less weighted

Zodiac signs are included now, with settings

It's prettier! Lookie!

Jun 28th, 2024:

Consolidated the personality coder/decoder and aspiration calculator so they function as one

Added the Wiki Order spreadsheet as a tab

Traits are now part of the code

More trait slots, why not?

Guide was re-written a bit to account for all of this

Copy/pasting and deleting cells should cause less issues

Jul 7th, 2024:

Consolidated SimPE order*/game order into the same spreadsheet and added a toggle Jul 12th: Not worth a major update but the Wiki lists interests in the game's order so it was renamed to reflect that

Fixed an issue with some of the interests not getting counted

Fixed an issue with not all of the new trait slots getting counted

In the past week a lot of its formulas were streamlined

Apr 29th, 2025:

Fixed the traits part of the Personality Coder so that new traits added to the settings were actually recorded properly

Consolidated hidden tokens and incorporated them into the personality coder

Added Original Aspiration for premade Sims etc., currently uses the same value as hidden tokens, "Aspiration Bonus" in the settings

Added One True Hobby to the personality code, NOT to calculations. OTH Calculation is already tied to personality and interest points in-game

A lot of stuff was moved around in general

I heard someone Grilled a Cheese on this spreadsheet

Fixed the half-assed Grilled Cheese calculation I implemented early this morning

May 1st, 2025

Fiddled with the default Grilled Cheese calculations again

Y'all don't get it, I'm this (🤏) close to actually writing a book or something about jews who are badass and survive the apocalypse and one of them is like... trying to build a motorcycle with scrap parts or whatever. I'm actually mentally ill about this

I have a new nemesis, her name is technical communication

coding bootcamp is going great why do you ask

DARKEST BEFORE DAWN - PERSONAL PROJECT

The last major bit of the theme is finally complete! I still have a bunch of random bits of styling and things that make it fully responsive and cohesive but progress! I'm really happy with the way things have turned out.

Anyway, here is a quick look at the Post Row for OOC accounts and then also IC accounts (one with the text-based customizations and one with image-based).

yeah it's so interesting how they keep showing every door god having a kaleidoscope

[jujuthewulfpup]

I've been doin' a lot of thinkin' lately. I've been having a lot of fun coding lately. (40hr work + 10hr volunteer, personal has fallen by the wayside ...again.) But once again, I’m warming up to the idea that I probably could and should start coding more productively on personal things again. Where the time will come from I'm not yet sure (probably getting more strict with my web comic reading and YouTube and Disney.)

The one thing I do have going for me is the first personal project I'm thinking of isn't some vague video game. It's a local financial (bank/budgeting/forecasting) app that I already started with my husband.

What I don't know is how much I should prioritize my personal software projects over what I already have going on. Should I consider backing out of my volunteer coding position (and probably my closest online friends) of almost 4 years? How would I be able to maintain or improve my code-life balance? How can I make sure I'm not setting myself up for burnout? Is it worth researching how to being an indie developer would work (small business, Patreon, marketing, ...) ???

I'm not sure these thoughts will lead to anything, because I already know that my thoughts and moods on things may linger, but often do not last. But I kind of want them to this time. These thoughts feel productively introspective, which is new to me.

Weebly is better than wix, neocities is the best. Wix is being boycotted rn & shitty so you should definitely move to another platform

[complainblogforthevoid]

I've finally figured out an argument that convinces coding tech-bros that AI art is bad.

Got into a discussion today (actually a discussion, we were both very reasonable and calm even through I felt like committing violence) with a tech-bro-coded lady who claimed that people use AI in coding all the time so she didn't see why it mattered if people used AI in art.

Obviously I repressed the surge of violence because that would accomplish nothing. Plus, this lady is very articulate, the type who makes claims and you sit there thinking no that's wrong it must be but she said it so well you're kind of just waffling going but, no, wait-- so I knew I had to get this right if I was gonna come out of this unscathed.

The usual arguments about it being about the soul of it and creation fell flat, in fact she was adamant that anyone who believed that was in fact looking down at coding as an art form as she insisted it is. Which, sure, you can totally express yourself through coding. There's a lot more nuance as to the differences but clearly I was not going to win this one.

The other people I was with (literally 8 people anti-ai against her, but you can't change the mind of someone who doesn't want to listen and she just kept accusing us of devaluing coding as an art) took over for I kid you not 15 minutes while I tried desperately to come up with a clear and articulate way to explain the difference to her. They tried so many reasonable arguments, coding being for a function ("what, art doesn't serve a function?") coding being many discrete building blocks that you put together differently, and the AI simply provides the blocks and you put it together yourself ("isn't that what prompt building is") that it's bad for the environment ("but not if it's used for capitalism, hm?" "Yeah literally that's how capitalism works it doesn't care about the environment" she didn't like that response)

But I finally got it.

And the answer is: It's not about what you do, it's about what you claim to be.

Imagine that someone asks an AI to write a code and, by some miracle, it works perfectly without them having to tweak it---which is great because they couldn't tell you what a single solitary thing in that code means.

Now imagine this person, with their code that they don't know how it works, goes and applies to be a coder somewhere, presenting this AI code as proof that they're qualified.

Should they be hired?

She was horrified, of course. Of course they shouldn't be. They're not qualified. They can't actually code, and even if by some miracle they did have an AI successfully write a flawless code for every issue they came across that wouldn't be their code, you could hire any shmuck on the street to do that, no reason to pay someone like they're creating something.

When actual engineers use AI what they do is get some kind of base, which they then go though and check for problems and then if they find any they fix them, and add on to the base code with their own knowledge instead of just trying different prompt after prompt until they randomly come across one that works.

People who generate code like this don't usually call themselves engineers. They're people who needed a bit of code and didn't have the knowledge to generate it, and so used a resource.

And there you go. There are people who have none of the skills of artists, they don't practice, they don't create for themselves. When they feed the prompt to the AI they then don't just use the resulting image as a reference point for their own personal masterpiece, and if they don't like it they don't have the skills to change it---they simply try another prompt, and do that until they get something they like.

These people are calling themselves artists.

Not only that, these people are bringing the AI generated thing to interviews, and they are getting hired, leaving people who slave over their craft out of the job.

And that is the difference, for the tech bros who think AI art isn't a big deal.

DARKEST BEFORE DAWN - PERSONAL PROJECT

Decided to try something different for the Main Profile for this project and it was a LOT but its done now and going to be totally worth it. Instead of just doing a base Profile App, we decided to do more of a "choose your own adventure" style. What this means is that the players get to choose how they want their profiles to display so each one can be customized!

OOC Accounts will display some basic info as well as a list of their subaccounts (img 1). NPC accounts will have basic character info, a freeform tab, and a tracker (not pictured). All character accounts will have a basic info tab, freeform, connections, and a tracker.

On the Basics tab for character accounts, players have the option of having character traits or not. If they choose to have them, they can then choose between 2, 3, 4, or 6 (imgs 2-4).

On the Freeform tab for character accounts, players have the option of having aesthetic images or not. If they choose to have them, they can then choose between 2, 3, 4, or 6. In addition to this, players can choose to have a separate Updates section if their freeform format doesn't allow for adding current events (imgs 5-8).

Characters that are Victors will receive an extra tab between the Freeform and Connections that has all of their info for the Hunger Games that they won (img 9).

On the Connections tab, players have a few choices. The first one is whether they want to include fields for a shipper (platonic, romantic, and other). The second one is whether they want text-based connections or image-based ones (imgs 10-13).

The last tab is the Tracker and while its not customizable, it will only show the tabs that the account has applicable posts for. Pictured is a couple of views with all the tabs available (imgs 14-15).
