Choose your path. Will your Sim support the Resistance… or join the First Order?
What Is It?
The Hope vs Order aspiration is the introductory aspiration in The Sims 4: Star Wars – Journey to Batuu. It’s a short, one-step aspiration that introduces your Sim to the world of Batuu, helping them learn about the two factions before choosing sides. Once complete, this aspiration unlocks two new aspirations one for each faction and serves as a key gateway into deeper gameplay.
| Focus Area | Description |
|---|---|
| Category | Star Wars |
| Required Pack | Journey to Batuu |
| Best Traits | Outgoing, Adventurous, Geek |
| Careers That Fit | Freelancer, Space Ranger (for Star Wars-themed play) |
| Difficulty | Easy (single-stage) |
Reward Trait: A Gift of Credits
Upon completion, your Sim receives a payment of Galactic Credits from the faction they helped.
There is no reward trait, setting this aspiration apart — instead, you gain currency and access to one of two major paths:
- Paragon of Hope (Resistance)
- Enforcer of Order (First Order)
Note: Sims can switch factions and aspirations at any time, but your reputation with the opposing side may make it harder.

This aspiration has just one stage but completing it sets the stage for your entire Batuu experience.

Follow-Up Aspirations
Once completed, your Sim can choose either path:
