So what's been fixed in NL
gali:
"Possible work-around for the missing catalog icons:
Catalog icons are stored in the Thumbnails directory under My Docs\EA Games\The Sims 2\. If you delete that directory, the original files should be copied back up from the Program Files location--if you have University it will try to merge the two." (HatedMaxoid)
THANK YOU sooo much!!! I suffer from this a long time, and as you advised, I deleted the Tumbnails folder from my documents/EA/TS2. Suddenly all my NPCs had want icons - it was pleasure to see the want icons again!
And, you (Maxoids) are not hated - we blame EA, in which you are a branch.
In TS1 I used to know ALL the team (you put very nice credits after playing 100 days with a family, pity we don't have it here).
We understand that EA is interested in profits - but if they continue to supply "second hand" merchandise, instead of keeping the high quality made in TS1 - They won't make profit at all.
The money is OUR, and we can spend it on more quality games than EA games.
Maxis always took care to keep the high quality of it's game, and issued every now and then updateds and patches.
Since EA bought Maxis - we felt decrease in the quality of the supplied games. I only can be sorry for the Maxis team...:).
I really appreciate your effort to help us with NL (lol, I bought it, but I am scared to install it, unless JMP gives his OK and fixes...:). I am tired of being "Beta Tester" - I want to play...:).
My game runs now (with the JMP's and Two-Jeffs' fixes) smoothly, and I won't install NL, untill I'll be sure that it will continiue to run smoothly.
And, in the future, nobody can convince me to buy an EA product, until after I get an impression that it runs OK, and EA issues fixes and patches.

Also, the Prima Guide states that toddlers will only play in the toilet if they are in a bad mood. Unfortunately, the toddlers would always favor playing in the toilet over playing with their toys. TwoJeffs has identified this problem as something missing in the coding, I don't quite understand it, but he has a fix for it.
As we've found out many times, the Prima Guide does have its fair share of errors. ;) I found toddlers playing in the toilet annoying too but it is actually similar to real life regardless of mood. Even with a full room of toys, my kids always made a beeline for the toilet if we ever left the latch undone (one of those baby proofing things you can buy). Annoying, but I can see how it can be considered a design feature. However, it would be nice if it only happened if the toddler is in a bad mood.
Ancient Sim:
Someone has already mentioned the fact that Family Sims don't get their "Graduate 3 Children" want satisfied if they are not present when the third comes back from their final exam, but there is also a similar problem. Popularity Sims who achieve their 20 Best Friends Lifetime Want on another lot (for instance, at a party) do not get credit, either. A box comes up saying they've achieved it, but they don't get permanent plat or the Lifetime Want memory. Similarly, we can probably also assume that if a Sim calls another Sim and they become best friends and that gives the called Sim 20 Best Friends LTW, they won't get their Lifetime Want achieved either. The second one is particularly problematic because there is no way of knowing when it's happened.
There was also mention of the fact that the Uni careers don't come up in Lifetime Wants. I know this was decided against because of those who don't have Uni, but PLEASE can something be done about this? I have hardly any Sims in the new careers because they can't achieve a LTW with them. OK, some people don't have Uni, but for those of us who do (the majority, I'm sure), can't the game be programmed so it automatically doesn't use those LTW's if Uni isn't present? I can't see how that would be difficult to achieve. We all want to see these new careers in our Lifetime Wants, so please can this be done? It really doesn't make sense for them not to be there.

HRH Posie:
Ancient Sim one of my Broke twins (either Aidan or Avery, I'd have to check ;)) achieved the "20 Best Friends" lifetime want during his college years. He actually made the last best friend from a phone call and the want was achieved. Presumably as the sim that is using the phone is on his own lot, the problems that you mention do not occur. Unless it is an intermittent bug ???

I had someone try to reproduce the "Graduate 3 Children" bug, but they were able to do so. Is it consistently reproduceable? Are there any hacks that interfere with want check trees or otherwise in the related global trees? I don't want to blame it on hacks, but we've been unable to reproduce this--perhaps we could get better repro steps? I can have someone look into the 20 best friends thing, but no guarantees...

As for the Uni Career LTW, it was a painful decision to remove these. The reason for doing so was because LTWs are determined when a sim becomes a teen. If the teen decides to skip college, then they are essentially stuck with a LTW that is not fulfillable. Since the user cannot change a LTW, this was deemed unacceptable. Sorry.
