Aspiration Failure
An Sim in aspiration failure gets a visit from the Therapist
This article describes features that are only available in The Sims 2.
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. Older Sims will start worrying, then start crying, and will eventually do silly things related 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.
Grow Up Aspiration
Toddlers will cry and children will smash flower beds, urns, kick tombstones and 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 will put lampshades on their head and do a lively dance.
Popularity Aspiration
Sims will have lively conversations with paper cups decorated with a drawn-on face.
Romance Aspiration
Sims will cuddle and kiss a sponge mop with a decorated plate attached.
Sim Shrink
When a Sim reaches aspiration failure, the Sim Shrink will appear and cheer up the Sim. The Sim will then get a small boost to his or her aspiration bar. It will still be far into the red, but the Sim will be able to function.
