Lifetime wish

A lifetime wish is a Sim's ultimate goal that they aim to accomplish within their lifetime, and is the successor to the Lifetime Want introduced in The Sims 2: University. A Sim's lifetime wish is related to the traits they have. For example, a Flirty Sim may want to have the Heartbreaker Lifetime Wish. As of Late Night or patch 17, the game allows the player to choose any lifetime wish, even if it does not correspond with their traits.
A Sim must choose a lifetime wish during the game when growing up from teen to young adult. Sometimes, when a child or teen excels at a certain skill or does some other kind of activity related to a Lifetime Wish (such as seeing a Unicorn for the Lifetime Wish "The Fairytale Finder") they will receive a lifetime wish in their wish slot, which they can choose to promise or not. The game will prompt if the player clicks it. If a child or teen picks a lifetime wish, they will not need to pick one when they become a young adult.
Once a Sim has completed their Lifetime Wish, they will not be able to choose a new Lifetime Wish without the use of a pre-installed mod. If a Sim uses the Change Lifetime Wish reward to select a new Lifetime Wish instead of fulfilling their current one, the amount of Lifetime Happiness Points on the wish the player changes to is reduced by 10,000.
On The Sims 3 for consoles, there is a glitch that allows the player to have any Lifetime Wish they want, regardless of Traits, on the Create a Sim screen. This is done by choosing a trait that inspires a certain Lifetime Wish (such as "Evil" for "The Emperor of Evil") and then hitting Undo. This will revert the trait to the original choice, but will not revert the Lifetime Wish.
There are several ways for a teen or child to trigger a lifetime wish. Often, being mean to another Sim and/or beating them up will trigger the Emperor of Evil or Super Popular wishes. Watching a Sim die will trigger Emperor of Evil, World Renowned Surgeon, Star News Anchor, or Creature-Robot Cross Breeder. Seeing a ghost will often trigger Creature-Robot Cross Breeder. If a parent gets promoted, the child may roll a lifetime wish with the career of the parent, or even a rebellious career wish opposing the parent's career if the parent is working either in Law Enforcement or as a Criminal. Dining at a Bistro may trigger Celebrated Five Star Chef. Watching a game at the stadium or working out may trigger Superstar Athlete or Perfect Mind, Perfect Body. Witnessing a burglary may trigger the Become a Master Thief, Forensic Specialist: Dynamic DNA Profiler or International Super Spy wishes. Being read to sleep by a logic book or playing chess enough will trigger Chess Legend, and occasionally gaining a skill point will trigger Renaissance Sim.
Any promised lifetime wishes are not removed when the player changes the active household, unlike ordinary wishes.
== List of Lifetime Wishes==
Sims with the Ambitious trait will gain 15% more lifetime happiness points (rounded to multiples of 500). For example, an Ambitious Sim with the Gold Digger lifetime wish will earn 23,000 points instead of 20,000. Below is a complete list of lifetime wishes available in The Sims 3.

 	The Culinary Librarian 	Learn Every RecipeMany players have experienced this lifetime wish being completed when a Sim reaches a certain level of the cooking skill, not when the player discovers all recipes and maximises the skill.
