Pet "Joining Household" Does't Fulfill "Get a Pet" Want

Shift-clicking on the wants is fine if what you're after is the points. It does not give sims the memory of doing something (if there is a memory attached to the want) which may result in the want coming back. For example, if Ronnie Sim wants to get married, and I shift-click on the want, he gets his points and goes platinum for a bit, but he still does not get the memory (which comes from actually doing the action), so tomorrow he may roll that want again.
If you shift-click on "get a pet" wants, that will give the little sim his points, but he still may think that he really wants to get a pet.
Not all wants are tied to memories. The marriage want, for instance, is not: Sims can want this if they are not MARRIED. If you get them married, they'll be unable to want that anymore, because the criteria for doing so has been invalidated. "First" somethings are generally keyed to memories to indicate been-there-done-that, but non-first-somethings generally are not. In this case, the "Want A Pet" want is linked to not having a pet. Having added a pet, you have invalidated the conditions for that memory and thus it will not reappear.

Does it not? I am sure I have seen it. I know I have seen 'want to adopt a kitten or puppy' several times, even when there are kittens and puppies in the house already.

I thought I had, too. ??? Or is that the wfsanity talking?
seven:
I've seen "adopt a puppy", "adopt a kitten", and "adopt a puppy or kitten" wants all at the same time. They adopt a puppy so that one is satisfied, but they still have the "adopt a kitten" want. "Adopt a puppy" hasn't rolled up again, though.
It bugs me too, that by adding a CAS pet these wants aren't satisfied.
Crash:
When a want doesn't fulfilled for me, I do whatever they want to do again, but right before I do it, I unlock the want. That has worked for me so far.
