Aspiration failure
Aspiration failures will occur when a Sims' aspiration bar reaches its minimum. The Sim will perform silly things related to his or her aspiration.
Desperations
Grow Up Aspiration
Toddlers will cry and children will smash flower beds, urns, kick tombstones and kick rubbish bins, and throw tantrums.
Family Aspiration
Sims will pull out a sack of flour with a face painted on it and will begin to rock and cuddle it like a baby.
Fortune Aspiration
Sims will beg for Simoleons.
Grilled Cheese Aspiration
Sims will draw Mr. Grilled Cheese Sandwiches on a cardboard and kiss it, and attempt to eat it.
Knowledge Aspiration
Sims will pull out a ball with a face and mortarboard on it named "Prof. Von Ball" and talk to it.
Pleasure Aspiration
Sims puts a lampshade on its head and does a lively dance.
Popularity Aspiration

Romance Aspiration

Sim Shrink
When a Sim reaches an aspiration failure, Sim Shrink will appear and cheer up your Sim. Your Sim will then gain a small boost at his or her aspiration bar to prevent further desperations.
