Pet "Joining Household" Does't Fulfill "Get a Pet" Want
jolrei:
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.

I've had sims who have re-rolled that want to get a pet, even though they have adopted or bought a pet from the store. I am pretty sure it is a re-ocurring want.

In my experience adopting a stray also won't satisfy the "get a pet" want. Adopting a pet by phone or buying one at a pet store are the only ways I have seen that want satisfied in my game (I haven't tried fufilling it by having my pets have puppies or kittens yet). I'm really disappointed that the adopting a stray interaction isn't counted because it takes more work than just buying a pet and sometimes my sims don't have enough money for a pet, but still get the want.

You could always add the memory with SimPE. I'm an inveterate fiddler with the memory editor.

You get the points using this method. ;)
You do? Oh no - the temptation! :D
