Stages of The Aspiration

There are four stages of the sims 4 mansion baron aspiration for your sim to work through. Each aspiration stage has two tasks with one being about how much your home is worth and the other being a specific category of item you need to purchase.

Stage One: Estate of the Art

  • Have a Home Worth §50,000

You can find the value of your sim’s home at any time in build mode by going to the top left corner menu where there’s a house with an “i” in the middle. This is where you’ll see your lot dimensions and lot value.

To increase the value of your sim’s lot you just need to keep adding to it. You can easily make a small family home with 50,000 simoleons so this part is easy. But you’ll need to get it worth 350,000 simoleons by the end of this so make sure to buy a big lot so you have space to expand.

  • Own 15 Pieces of Art

For this part of the aspiration you just need any 15 pieces of art. This includes anything in the wall art category, even stuff that isn’t expensive. So you really don’t need to purchase the most expensive art work this early in the aspiration.

Stage Two: The Great Landscaper

  • Have a Home Worth §100,000

Getting a home to 100,000 is a little harder than 50,000 but not impossible!

There are certain items you can purchase that are functional for lots of money. The base game comes with the Schmapple fridge and oven that are over 10,000 each so those are a great way to add expensive items that aren’t just decorative.

  • Purchase §5,000 Worth of Landscaping

Landscaping is the best way to make your sim’s house look fabulous and expensive. It’s the best! You just need to purchase any items from the landscaping menu including:

  • Flowers
  • Trees
  • Rocks
  • Bushes

Use the bb.moveobjects on cheat so you can place these close together so they look more realistic! A great way to have lots of landscaping is to use bushes instead of fences!

Stage Three: Home Renovator

  • Have a Home Worth §200,000

Getting to 200,000 is pretty difficult and this is when you need to start buying expensive things just for the heck of it.

A great item to add to your home is the Knight of the Octagon Table Suit of Armor that’s available in base game. It costs 8,200! I had a suit of armor in my house as a kid, it makes me feel cool.

  • Own 30 Windows

Owning 30 windows feels like a lot, but when you have a home worth 200,000 simoleons it’ll have to be a pretty big house. You can hack this a little by adding smaller windows and placing them next to each other instead of buying one huge window.

Also, you don’t have to keep the windows. You can literally place 30 windows in random spots, finish this stage of the aspiration and then delete them and you’ll be fine.

Stage Four: Mansion Baron

Now you really need to start adding expensive decor to get your house to 350,000 simoleons.

The absolute best pack to purchase to have expensive furniture is The Sims 4: Get Famous because it has all that gold furniture available. You can find expensive toilets, beds, bath tubs and more!

  • Purchase 20 Columns

There are so many fun uses for columns when building a house! You can use these both inside and outside the home to count toward this.

I love using columns with the move objects cheat and placing them at the corner of two walls that meet. This gives a very fabulous and expensive look to the home without it being too much of a big deal.

Thrifty Reward Trait

When a sim finishes off the sims 4 mansion baron aspiration they’ll get the thrifty reward trait. This trait’s description reads “Thrifty sims receive a 10% rebate on all build mode purchases made each week. Rebates will be directly applied to household funds.”

This is awesome because any time you spend money on anything for your home from a new fridge to a piece of clutter you’ll get 10% of the money back to spend on something else!
