missing expansion packs = missing Life Time Wants?
cwykes:
But two people say they had these wants with base game and NL...... The poster on my other board and Ellatrue.
If it's deliberate on Maxis part, then yes you'd have to modify the game files which I don't like either.
But if it's an accident and something like a few icons are missing causing the LTWs not to roll, then it might be fixable by adding or replacing a look up file of some sort either in downloads or the program folders. That I could live with.
EDIT - I read on the sims2 board that Uni careers were LTWs in Uni, but not LTWs once you added NL. Snooty confirms it and I realise I have seen people complaining about it before, but not understood the post. If I remember Maxis claimed to leave them out because not all sims could achieve them. This sounds like part of the same mess to me!
Soylent Sim:
The prima guide said that the uni careers were legit LTW's, and many people seem to have gotten the idea from that, but even back in Uni they never showed up. Removing them as wants in NL would be doubly silly, as NL introduced the object that would actually make uni-based LTW's viable. But in a surprising moment of good design at the time those LTW's were left out of the game, and it's unlikely that EA will go back and clean up any of their little oversights from past EP's.

So Snooty is wrong as well. That's not usual - sorry.

OK - Today I changed an LTW in simPE to one of the ones that never shows up normally. A family sim now has 6 grandchildren as her LTW. It's there in game, no error messages - haven't achieved it yet - her oldest kid is still a teen, but that says at least that icon is there and works as an LTW. So why doesn't it roll normally as an LTW or show on the lotdebugger as an option when you cycle wants?????
I can't change the LTWs on my elders with no wants because SimPE doesn't seem to let you replace nothing with something.
jsalemi:
Are you using Pescado's 'ltwvariety' hack? That may be preventing it from showing up. Come to think of it, I haven't see the '6 grandchildren' LTW in a while, and I have it in my game. My family sims usually get the 'Graduate 3 Children...' or 'Reach Golden Anniversary' wants.
