Why are my teens getting "mismatched" LTWs?
J. M. Pescado:
It could be a dangling SWAF issue. After doing a DAC, perhaps you want to open up the neighborhood file and see if there are left over SWAF files, and burninate them all.
Pegasys:
JMP,
I think you're on to something (of course!) I had no idea what you meant by SWAFs, but as soon as I opened up SimPE it became readily apparent (Sim Wants and Fears). Then I looked at the Sim Descriptions vs. the SWAFs and noticed a discrepancy in the number - 277 Sim Description vs. 304 SWAFs. I noticed a string of SWAFS where it says "Sim Wants and Fears for " and the rest is blank; there is no name. I assume these are the dangling SWAFs and they are safe to delete?
Lythdan:
I have noticed this problem too, but only in 'hoods that have had a D-A-C performed on them.

I think they're all dangling, or at best incorrect, and that your neighborhood might be buggered. You might want to start over, this time nuking all SWAFs immediately following DAC.

I've come up with some wierd things after a DAC too, but at least now I know what to look for! (If I ever play those hoods again...) However, i would have thought that just changing the LTW with the debugger would solve the problem, if the sim has merely taken over the LTW of the original occupant of the File space.
And it doesn't explain why Alexander Goth has an Aspiration in his Neighbourhood Memory, likewise Beau Broke, whereas quite often CAS adults don't get the marker for their aspiration at all. Nor does it explain, for me, why Keanu Broke spins the Get Abducted want as soon as he rolls his wants after aging to teen - as a Romance sim!)
