Freetime grow-up Townie and Aspiration, broken?
Sunbee:
So, in a custom hood, I had some playable children grow up. I had them take their townie friends with them. (I'm trying to get rid of townie kids at the moment: I wanted them a generation ago for bus buddies, but now there are cousins.) Two of the townies in question showed up later as 2/3 of a wishing well friends drop for a different playable teen. I took advantage of their presense on lot to make them selectable and change their clothes and hair. They still had the grow-up aspiration. I just redressed them and made them unselectable again and let the playable teen send them on their merry way.
Just how bad is this? Can I just leave them wandering around wanting to grow up, or do I need to set them with a proper teenage aspiration somehow? If they really must have a proper aspiration, is there a better way to do it? I do have SimPE, but I only know how (barely) to use it to make a copy of a sim for safekeeping. There have been some other odd things happening in this hood--when it was at just two playable families (it's now at four) old Gramps used to bring home a child townie sim from his job as Captain Hero. The child always appeared at the bottom of the elevator shaft in the foundation and had to be removed by moveobjects. When one of the kids got him aged up to teen he started appearing on the sidewalk.
So is it just Maxian borkenness or did I screw something up (suspecting the latter)?
Edit: Er, I have Happy Holidays, OFB, Uni, Seasons, FT, AL, Celebration Stuff, and M&G. I have the Director's Cut; ACR and Triplets/quads and teen/skunk from TwoJeffs; a ton of Inge's hacks; Lot Full Of Sims; and several others that I think are all object based, not global. I could be wrong, and I wouldn't be surprised to hear my pants don't fit.

I don't think it's absolutely necessary to give this aged-up townie teens a real aspiration, but if you do want to you can use the aspiration-changer-thingamabob from Nightlife, after making them selectable.
IIRC, the bringing-home-6s-from-work thing was a known FT bug. It's probably fixed either in an official patch, or an Awesome hack.
Tarlia:
twojeffs' sim blender has an easy way to change a sim's aspiration ingame. It's also very easy to do in SimPE, easier than cloning a sim. It's one of the first tabs on the panel at the bottom of the screen after you've selected the sim. Simply change the aspiration in the drop-down box and click commit. Easy and safe.
J. M. Pescado:
Growing up a townie this way will break their aspiration, yes. So, uh, don't do that.
Budgie:
Is it only a VBT for the child>teen transition, because of picking aspirations, or is it bad to make an adult go up to elder as well?
