Aspiration failure

Aspiration failure will occur when a Sim's aspiration bar reaches its minimum. The Sim will have a breakdown and become uncontrollable, and will require a visit from the Sim Shrink.

Desperations


Before Sims reach complete aspiration failure, they will occasionally show signs of distress and desperation. Toddlers, children, and teens will display immaturity. Teens, regardless of their aspiration, will have desperation signs similar to those of the 'grow up' aspiration. They will do things like farting, playing with fridges, kicking tombstones and bins, and smashing dollhouses. Older Sims will start worrying, then start crying, and will eventually do silly things related to their aspirations. If left unattended for 7 days far in the red, though it's very rare, aspiration failure can kill a Sim. The ghosts are dark pink and cry about their aspiration.
