Unfulfillable wants
ZephyrZodiac:
You really should have known better! Sophie Miguel!!!!! Cow Plant food!
(Both Lilith and Beau in my game got platinum while still at college with no problems. However, I had to use all the available hacks to get Beau to leave and go home! Still having trouble with Beau's younger brother, Keanu, though - he's a romance sim with the twenty simultaneous lovers LTW and he reached 6 before leaving College, and he's got no further since! Since I got him a job as an actor, which really suits him, it's be a shame to have to give him a mundane LTW like Hall of Famer instead!)

Indirect Want-fulfilment is buggy and does not consistently function correctly when the wanting sim is not instantiated on the lot. Meaning if your parent/relative/friend is PRESENT for the wedding, the college enrollment, the graduation (not the party!), etc., they get the credit, but if they're not at the event, they won't remember it.
Thanks for clearing that up. I guess it'll only make sense to lock these particular wants if you plan in advance for the Sim to be present.
I'm guessing that the logic that rolls these wants up is fairly simple - that is, it checks that they're in the right life stage. It can't be checking to see if the want has already been fulfilled, and is (or in theory should be) a one-time fulfillment per Sim like Overachiever or Go To College. The only reason I don't get, for example, 'Child Goes to College' rolling up again and again is because once they go to College, they're not teens anymore and so are invalid subjects for the wanter.
Edit: Also, I tried adding the correct memories. There's a visible memory, which is owned by the wanter, and an invisible memory, which is owned by the subject of the want. So, just goes to prove in some respects, memories do not fulfill wants ;)
Marvin Kosh:
Just out of curiosity, if a Sim calls someone on the phone, does that count as having 'em instantiated? That would be a lot less hassle in some respects, than having to invite them over.
ZephyrZodiac:
I think that depends on what kind of sim they are. Family sims have separate wants for "chat on phone" and "talk to" and the second isn't fulfilled by a phone conversation., and the same goes for "talk to a family member".

while we're on the unfulfilled want topic, my fortune aspiration sims can't fulfill their wants for buying a fountain that costs above $600. not even buying the $6000 sth fountain helps.
