Have you seen the effects of Aspiration Failure?

They can't be totally bottomed out in the red to see it - then you just get the psychologist. They have to be mostly in the red but not all. Then just wait, you'll see it eventually.
Thank you. That's what I was doing wrong. Off to try again...

So if I can't get the sim someone to call, I just have them relax on the bed and daydream. It helps social.
I didn't know that. That's strange.
I think I've seen them all at least once, except for Professor Von Ball. It's funny but I've never had any of my Knowledge Sims go into aspirational failure. Once I saw the Paper Stick Buddy because my popularity sim caught her lover cheating on her and lost him as a best friend. The others I've seen a little bit more frequently, but none lately. I guess it's a combination my learning how to achieve wants better and the Uni LTW helps too. I am not one that likes torturing Sims. ::)

I've seen that stupid Social Bunny more times than I want to. He just gets in the way. So if I can't get the sim someone to call, I just have them relax on the bed and daydream. It helps social.
I just ignore it and let them see the bunny. Relaxing and daydreaming is a waste of valuable productive time, and a well-designed house doesn't tend to suffer severe obstructions from one bunny.

About the Social Bunny - do your sims cry when he arrives?
I remember the Sad Clown from TS1, which made all the sims cry and be sad.
In TS2 I never gave my sims to have aspiration failure. I saw once Cassandra, after being left at the altar, playing with some doll, and a shrink came to give her a treatment - twice. But I left the house without saving, thinking how to prevent this situation (I found a good solution for this).

Nope, there's a brief piss and whine at the exact moment, but this goes largely unheralded because all the previous whines to that point are either squashed by "Less Whiny", or silenced by the fact that the sim is pinned down in the Skillinator. Once the bunny arrives, they actually laugh at his antics.
