Unfulfillable wants
Muisie:
I wondered why my sim parents do not get their "Kid goes to college" wants filled, even though they clearly arrived at the dorm and grew up into YAs. Next time I'll make them stand by the taxi and see them off. Maybe that will help?
Marvin Kosh:
Only one Sim parent will go along with their child to college in the cutscene, at least that's how it's played out for me so far.

Happens to Popularity Sims, too. I had one achieve her Lifetime Want of 20 Best Friends at a wedding on someone else's lot. The message box came-up to tell me she'd done it and she had the 20 BF memory, plus her Lifetime Want changed, but no special icon in her memories and no permanent platinum.
I have been having this happen alot as well. I use Lot Debugger to make the plat stick.
Also, had a sim get abucted 5 times and though his twin brother got the "hope X meets aliens" want, no one in family has memory of him getting abducted.
ZephyrZodiac:
That's wierd about the aliens - I've never know the memory of that to not show, even with sims who are not even related but just friends!
Seeing kids off in the taxi to go to college is no good for creating memories or getting plat, until they actually enter an empty house or empty dorm with a parent seeing them off, the memory won't happen. Unfortunately, it's random which parent arrives with them to say goodbye, unless they have only one living parent and a step-parent, so the family sim parent may not be the one seeing them off.

Dang, I am missing so much by not being able to see the cutscenes. I never knew these existed, the ones you are talking about with them throwing their mortarboards in the air or the parents seeing their kids off to college or arriving at college. All I get is the sim's family gathering around (if they are awake) and waving goodbye just like they would for any other sim moving out. At college, nothing happens unless they are the first on the lot, then I don't have the control panel until the taxi arrives and they transition to YA. At graduation, if I have a party, they transition to adult when the party ends. That's it, they just spin around, and tada! they are grown. Anyone want to send charitable contributions to my worthy cause, or donate a sim-worthy video card? All donations are tax deductable, of course! :) I wish I could get a newer video card, but I am thankful that I can even play the game. I hope NL doesn't put a big drag on things. I have plenty of RAM.
