Problems with very weird wants
ZephyrZodiac:
Helpful cuss, isn't he!
Have you tried deleting your groups.cache file?

Tried that, and it worked! - for all the other sims, anyway. They now have their wants panels nicely filled. Still didn't fix poor old Amelia, though. I don't so much mind her being a little bugged, as she is only a few days away from the end. I'm just hoping whatever is bugging her won't spread to the rest of the neighborhood.
If it does, well, that's what we make backups for, right?
ZephyrZodiac:
Right, back-ups are good (but too many ar a pain!)! As for Amelia, try deleting her again, saving and exiting, then reloading her house - maybe now that all the others are fixed, this will fix her! If not, just keep her in permaplat until the end! ;D
And I'd just add that it will probably be a good thing if you delete groups.cache after each play session.

I asked about blank wants recently, cos I've got them too. You've got most of the info in here already, but it might be worth a read of that thread.
Sometimes your sim gets no wants because of "want tree depletion" i.e. the game can't work out what to put there.
Wants re-rolll when your sim sleeps or you have them leave the lot.
Changing the aspiration can net you some achievable wants - change it back and the problem might have gone away.
Sometimes you can hover the mouse over the want and see what the want is. This is a blank icon problem which I don't think is the same as missing wants.
I'm getting more blank want icons and missing wants since OFB. Could be co-incidence....
I don't think the number of SWAF files should match exactly provided you can explain the difference. Mrs C and the pollination tech don't have SWAF files in my hood.
Quaxi did a list of exactly what needs cleaning up. There's a longstanding request for SimPE to do it all.

1. Note down intsnce and SimID of the Sim you want to delete (Instance of Sim Description, Sim Id is displayed within the Sim Description.
2. Delete all relationships of the Sim in question
3. Delete all Relationships towards the Sim in any other Sim
4. Delete all Family ties of the Sim
5. Check each memory of each Sim in the Neighborhood. If it is about the Sim in question (same GUID or Instance) delete it in the Memory Editor.
6. Go to the Family Information File the Sim is stored in (you can do so from the Sim Description), and remove it from the List.
7. Delete the wants&Fear and Sim DNA resource that has the same Instance as the SDSC of the Sim
8. Find the Filename of the character File for that Sim, and delete that package.
9. Finally delete the SimDescription of that Sim.

DrBeast:
Hmm...I wonder though, can you actually delete the .package while SimPE is still running?
