Moving problems
ZephyrZodiac:
I understand that - I spend hours just playing my sims! But I do eventually have to leave them and do something else, like visiting MATY! (Or surfing for downloads.......)
But yes, both problems are quite well-documented here, plus quite a few more that have survived the patch! At least the wait for the Uni patch was worth it, they seemed t me to have covered virtually all the problems, but they were rather quick off the mark with the NL one (and since it included the Uni stuff, and isn't much bigger than the Uni patch, there can't be an awful lot in it.)

I noticed that and thought it was quite strange ???.

I think they wanted to avoid the inevitable criticism if it had taken six months AGAIN!

I'm in a lot of pain right now so not very coherent, so I'm going to write this in point form to hope it makes sense:
1. JMP reckoned that the original problem of an adult losing college-earned want slots was due to moving the graduate back to the Neighbourhood and into a house that hadn't been updated since installing University. Greg from Simshost lost a load of work because of this - I think he called it "The Bug That Destroyed Happy Valley".
2. Now that we have not just University, but Nightlife and the NL Patch, there will be a lot of empty houses that are not "safe" to use. A house is only "safe" if it has been updated since the last EP or Patch you installed.
3. To make a house "safe", what you need to do is go into it in Build Mode, maybe change some small thing, and SAVE it - so it "updates" with whatever the new file format is.
4. You MUST do this before moving any sims into the house.
5. I have never experienced this problem because I am paranoid about it, and never move sims into a house that I haven't gone into in Build Mode first.
6. I believe that once an adult has gone from 6 want slots back to 4, that there is absolutely nothing you can do about it, because as far as the character file is concerned, that character should have 6 want slots, so you can't use the FFS Lot Debugger to "upgrade" them.
7. However, some other modder has a mod out now that will give you as many locks as you have Want slots, so you can have 4 Wants with 4 locks or whatever. I believe this mod also allows you to add up to 6 Wants to any sim, even one that "should" have been upgraded. Unfortunately I can't remember who it was who's made this hack.
Does this help? I hope it's coherent :-\.
ZephyrZodiac:
I think you can add want slots ad infinitum with TwoJeffs money tree thingy - the Want Slots and Personal electronics Tree.
I've no doubt that you're right about the houses needing to be updated and saved before use, but I've had problems with newly built houses too, which as I said, was probably something to do with trying to move too much in the family inventories! (It was the sim who had the family car who had the problem.)
