I think it's called "toggle lifetime want bit" or something. You can use it to turn permaplat on and off.
Really? I've never been able to get that to work properly. I'll have a look if any of my permaplats have lost it for some reason and will check it out (I don't have many).

I was hoping to get back on here sooner but life kinda goes this way and that sometimes.
You know, I just love testing this game--sure wish they'd pay me (and everyone else) for it! And with my Legacy family to boot! It's no wonder I keep starting over and over--not like I keep real score anyway because I use too many mods and such. I just do it for the fun of it. :o
At any rate, I decided since they were all in platinum when they moved out of their old home and arrived in their new one in green there was no way I was sending them to work and school like that so Merola's Multi-Painting to the rescue! I boosted the whole family to platinum and the really great news is, Alistair's aspiration meter is Perma-Plat again!
Since one of the kids was online I went ahead and played with the family for a while. Braun turned into a teenager and very oddly, he didn't get a lifetime want at all. When I moused-over the aspiration meter it read like one that had been fulfilled. I pulled out the Renu-U-Sensor Orb and changed his aspiration momentarily to Pleasure Seeker and he then came up with a LTW of becoming a Mad Scienist. I changed him back to popularity with the Renu-U-Sensor Orb and he still has the LTW of becoming a Mad scientist. I'm going to say this could possibly be from the more variety in aspirations mod I have in my game so I'll take that out tomorrow and re-program him again and see what happens. This is strange. His dad's Knowledge and wanted to be a Mad Scientist. His older sister is Knowledge and rolled up with the Mad Scientist want which I thought was pretty normal. Now a Popularity sim wanting to be a Mad Scientist? LOL

I've just put the LTW mod back into my game, before moving the Burbs into a house. John wants to be Chief of Staff! Well, so I shall let him fulfill that - so much more motivating for the idle bugger than lounging around trying to get poor jennifer to be a baby machine! and next time he gets the baby want, he gets the expensive telescope (hacked version).

LOL! I won't let a family man marry anything but a family woman. A family woman works with other aspirations, but I think it's so unfair if the sim has to have a bunch of kids she doesn't necessarily want just to keep her hubby happy. Jeesh!

Yeah, but it makes for some good stories. ;D
I play the wants heavily, striving to always keep everybody in platinum, as full as possible. When I mix up the types, I'm much more likely to have a good story evolve from couples with competing wants. (Since I don't let my Sims fight much, I have to have conflict somewhere.)
I love the Burbs, even if I don't like Jennifer that much. (She wouldn't win the "Sim I'd Most Like to Have Tea in RL With award). John does walk around moping for a baby...but I can "satisfy" him by getting a flirt/kiss/woo hoo chain going, and that is the story.
Meanwhile, little credit to Jennifer please. They started out my game with no money cheats - she worked her ass off, to pull them out of near poverty to a very nice house and a comfortable way of life. John has been very supportive (can anyone say macrotastics "clean" and "garden"), so eventually he'll get his baby...
I use the family aspiration more sparingly, I think, than a lot of people do. Much more likely to get bored by a family/family family than any other combo.
---------------
I don't want to derail this thread too horribly. I think I am going to take the plunge and install NL this weekend. Need to know if there are compensations that have to be made if I start moving families around. (I'm lazy and am letting everybody else test the game out for me!!)
