So what's been fixed in NL
FatedCircle:
It seems that all the bugs I can think of from my own game have been mentioned already, but I would like to add my voice to the chorus of thank yous for coming over here and allaying our fears and doubts about this issue. So thanks! :)

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...
I don't know if any hacks interfere with it, can't really think of any I have that would. I know it happened to Cassandra Goth in my game so I don't leave it in anymore, I change it to something else. I had to sort Cassandra out in SimPE so she could die with a platinum gravestone. After I'd gone to the trouble of adopting a child so she could achieve the LTW (her eldest two were grown-up before Uni came out), I wasn't going to have her lose it ... even more so as I'd had to keep the silly woman going with elixir for ages.

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.
I appreciate this, although of course regular visitors to this forum change LTW's as often as they change their socks ... but ... what I am asking is, can't the game somehow detect that Uni isn't installed and therefore not spring-up those wants? In any case, wasn't the LTW thing introduced with Uni and not the base game? I may be wrong about this (probably my age ... MIDDLE-AGE, you know ...), but even if it was the base game, I would still have thought the workings could somehow reject the new career LTW's for those without Uni. Sounds like very basic programming to me (but what do I know, being in the MIDDLE-AGE lifespan ...).
(Am I getting any better at this hinting thing? Anyone???).

It's not a question of whether Uni is installed or not, the issue is that teens could get a LTW that they cannot fulfill if they decide to skip college. I realize people are modding and such, but we have to make the game for people who do not use such tools and would be essentially stuck--that, it was decided, was the greater of the two evils.
As for the middle-age age-group, I would suggest continuing your crusade with Maxis/EA. I can suggest it, but that doesn't mean it will happen.

Sometimes the want can be fulfilled after several children have graduated however with other sims it never happens. I'm afraid I cannot be specific as it is just temperamental. At the time I didn't have any recoloured objects however I did have the MaxoidMonkey objects from the official site and the following hacks.
amnesiafix
antibabylecture
captainhero
collegeclock
computerchatfix
deathfix
fratfix
handheldfix
hugginghack
marriage-postmortum
moveoutbugfix
nocheeringhack
nocorruptdeath
noroutefail
ONE School Bus Dialog
runtoclass
I believe two are from twojeffs, the rest are Pescado's.

I too would like to express my thanks for taking the time to communicate with us. The fact that you are spending so much time trying to find out what problems most need fixing makes me feel better about Nightlife and EA. (I never really felt bad about Maxis)
Thanks for listening.
