This guide is to help you decide which life dream you want your geeky sim to have at each life stage, in the tables below you can see the life dream, how to complete it and the percentage the bar will increase each time for each orb you are working towards.
Times may vary depending on the star rating an item has and whether or not your sim is inspired but these don’t affect the percentage increase
From the April 2025 update with the addition of the Community Market all gardening and baking life dreams have been removed, if you were completing one of these life dreams it will auto complete
