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.

Kristalrose:
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???

MokeyHokey:
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?
