What exactly causes the blank Want/Fear slots?
ZephyrZodiac:
It has to be something to do with a hack conflict, I should think. You could try leaving JMP's hacks in place, then taking out all your other hacks, then replacing those one at a time, or modder by modder. Since JM designs his hacks to not conflict with each other, it's likely that a conflict is either between one of his and one of someone else's, or else between two other modder's hacks.

I had the fruit machine rolling wants but I couldn't figure out why. It wasn't at every lot. It would start after I'd been at two particular lots for a bit, and on a couple of occasions it suddenly stopped and went back to normal. At first I thought it was linked to the inteeminator, but then I pinned it down to the handheld game. Whenever one of the teens pulled it out to play, everyone's wants rolled non-stop.
This stopped completely when I started using the latest updated versions of both the insiminator and the inteeminator. I have them alongside JM's fixes and TwoJeffs' triplets and quads hack and I've had no problems since.

I experienced this for the 1st time last night. I have many of JMP's hacks, the InSiminator, some hacks by twojeffs and Inge, and Merola's painting and mind-control mirror. But, mine happened to a Secret Society NPC. I used the mind-control mirror on her in an attempt to pretty her up and make her a suitable mate for one of my UNI sims. She had no wants, no skills, nothing showing in her college, aspiration, or influence bars. I could see her memories, and personality, though. I sent her to class, and when she came back everything rolled and was fine. Since this was the 1st time I had used the mirror on a NPC, I thought this was normal.
ZephyrZodiac:
Well, I don't use a lot of the things you mentioned and I frequently get the fruit machine effect, sometimes on lots where no-one has a handheld, an MVP Player or a mobile phone. It's also happened without any hacks in the game, but it only started to happen after I installed Uni. So???

Well, I just had it the other day, but I know what caused my problem. :-\ I had reinstalled my game for fun, and when I did, I said "Oh look, all the cute little Maxis fixer-uppers are back in the house bin!" I placed them all and decided that's what my new sims have to start out in...well, I neglected to consider that those houses are ORIGINAL Sims 2, so they pre-date Uni and the patch. Not a problem at the first since it was an empty neighborhood, and I had to upgrade the sims after placing them on the lot. The "downgrading" happened when I tried to move my couple into a larger home so they could start a family--they had already been upgraded and can't be placed into a pre-patch house. They lost want slots and wound up with blank slots. :( Ergo, I had to kill them off and pray that the contamination doesn't spread.
I thought I read somewhere around here that it was also caused by contamination from the remote controlled car?
