Aspirations going screwy
vecki:
I just restarted Pleasantview again, but my last elder prior to that who hit her LTW of becoming Captain Hero, flatly refused to spin a new LTW. Debugger, college clock did nothing. Her husband who had the day before hit his LTW of becoming a Criminal Mastermind, spun a new LTW of becoming a Mad Scientist.
Pegasys:
I noticed my kids were getting LTWs too. My thought is that the game reuses the dangled SWAFs and so the kid gets leftover garbage LTW. When I rerolled using the Lot debugger, the new LTWs were always appropriate to their aspiration.
What I'm concerned about is that in my game, the swath of dangling SWAFs is in the middle of the SWAFs. :P What I mean is that in SimPE, the SWAFs with no attached Sims have Instance numbers going from 0x00000039 to 0x00000056. I went ahead and deleted these. But the SWAFs after 0x00000056 these are correctly assigned. So there is a gap. I am now wondering if I have enough Sims born in this neighborhood (I guess about 30) to fill the gap, after that will the game try to overwrite an existing, correctly-used SWAF, or will it go to the end as it should to assign them? If not, then it's definitely a BFBVFS waiting to happen.
skandelouslala:
Mine had a gap too.
I deleted them..I guess we'll see what happens. I'm not quite sure if I made a mistake b/c I now have 181 SWAFs for 183 Sim Descriptions. Opps perhaps...I'm not sure. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

If you have LTWvariety installed, elders will not spin career wants since, natively, elders cannot normally join a new career. No one can spin up an LTW they would already qualify for (Max all, Earn 100K, Max Career, etc), and LTWvar prevents elders from spinning impossible "have more kids"-related LTWs, so this means your selection can dwindle to nothing. No biggie, you already have perma, so who cares?
vecki:
Hmm. I usually take out LTWvariety when I install the director's cut. Maybe I missed it last time I updated ???
