The '''Therapist''' is an [[NPC]] that comes to help [[Sim]]s when they go into aspirational[[aspiration failure]] ([[Aspiration bar]] in total red). He examines the Sims and helps them gettingget back a little of their Aspiration Bar, then he disappears again. The Therapist is just a "mirage" seen by Sims in aspirationalaspiration failure and does not exist.

With [[cheats]], it's possible to have a [[baby]] with the Therapist. Although, the Therapist does not have very good genetics and most offspring have very smalllarge eyes right next to each other and have narrowgaunt faces. The shrink can only be seen by the Sim that he is taking care of, and the player can only see the shrink if the Sim the therapist is tending to is selected. But Sims in the same room will turn to the Sim being helped and do the 'You're Crazy!' sign. This could be a reference to The Sixth Sense where only the boy can see the therapist, Bruce Willis.
 
*Making the Therapist selectable or adding him to a family will cause [[Game guide:Avoiding corruption|game corruption]], as his character file is located in the objects.package file, and is the same for all neighborhoods. A much safer way to play as the Therapist is to create him in [[CAS]] with [[Testingcheatsenabled|debugging cheats]] enabled. Since the Therapist has facial features that are highly customized, and eyebrows, glasses, and facial hair that can't be accessed in-game, the easiest way to play as the Therapist is to download an exact replica of him [http://www.mediafire.com/download/sk3rlpaua7pw5a4/SavedSims.rar here].

*Oddly, if the player Shift+Clicks on him while [[testingcheatsenabled]] is on, all the options that normally appear on normal Sims will appear, instead of the two used for Sims with incomplete data or universal Sims. Players should '''NOT''' click on any of these options, as it may cause game corruption.
With the use of hacks and cheats, the player can add the Therapist to a playable family, but he shows up for a few seconds and is not seen again on the lot, but still in Sim menus and family description, and it is quite irritating as the player can't get rid of him, and if the player tries to kill him with the death creator, he won't die as he doesn't appear in a physical form. The [[PlumbBob]] appears next to the [[Tombstone of Life and Death]] and is frozen in that spot.
 
*When using [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]], one can see that his last name is Therapist, making his technical name "Therapist Therapist". The Therapist cannot be seen by other Sims, other than the Sim he is healing. This is similar to what happens with a Sim and the [[Social Bunny]].
== Personality ==
 
*A second Elder thumbnail of him exists in the game files and can be found with [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]]. He and Pollination Technician are the only NPCs in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' base game to have customized face templates.
 
*HisThe Therapist's hair was probablymost likely black before it turned grey, seeing as if the player makes a Sim have a baby with him, they will usually have black hair. The Therapist's default hair color is identified in-game as black, and his genetics also seem to be very dominant.
 
It should be noted that he doesn't always have an aspiration when viewing SimPE. The Therapist's [[interest]]s are different in each neighborhood. It should be noted that when viewing SimPE, he may not always have interests.
 
*There is a small chance that the game may try using the Therapist in a walk-by. However this rarely happens, and if it does, he just shows up, stands there and eventually disappears. This is probably due to a glitch. According to SimPE, he is 3 days from being an [[elder]], disregarding the fact that he doesn't age.

Unlike the PC version, in this platform version the NPC is introduced as a service NPC, not when a playable Sim goes to aspiration failure. He can be hired through the phone, who will change the Sims' wants and fears afterwards when arrived to the lot.
