Not a clue, never had that want, but...

Someone mentioned this recently in news:alt.binaries.games.thesims and yes
it does, so it seems as if there's something wrong with your game. Also,
women get maternity leave and then IIRC 4 days holiday after that, so you
don't need to worry about messing up careers.

It doesn't work. I ahd this exact problem and you don't get any boost for
the aspiration meter at all no matter how many times you try.

I've seen the fountain problem. I just assumed it was another programming
bug. The fountain also doesn't clear a statue want either, even though they
are found in the statuary section. They are obviously not sending out
whatever message is used to catch want purchases.
