What does this mean? LOL It happened after they tried to get their son into private school & were rejected. The mom fell on the floor & pretty much went crazy, a therapist came out of no where & now when she gets this red picture of a someone holding a paper/scroll, whatever it is... the volley ball with a graduation cap comes out & she talks to it. The same thing happened to the father. Is it because their kid didn't get into private school? Anyway to change this? Thanks!

well when sims aspiration bar gets the lowest they get like depressed and the thereapist comes but i never encountered the volleyball.

Its called Need Failure...in this case its Aspiration Failure.

For example. A Need Failure for hunger would be to stuff there face in the fridge. A need failure for bladder is peeing themselves.

You got aspiration failure. For example, a family orientated sim aspiration failure would result in her playing with a pillow pretending its a baby.

So your parents aspirations might have been to get their kid into private school and get rejected so random stuff happens.

Thank you for the responses.... I'm new to this game... just started last week & soo addicted... Like I needed this! lol So many possibilities & different things that can/do happen. Thanks again! 💛

(a side note... I hope none of my sims have twins again! LOL One couple did yesterday & the mom was killed in a fire because she was over tired & was trying to cook! )
