missing expansion packs = missing Life Time Wants?
witch:
Now that's good news. Though my poor simmies only get to slow dance and dine out on dates, it's the only time I see the animations, so I don't mind the wants too much. Also, as Gwill says, you can do other things at the table.
The thing that irritates me most is the normal wants that start coming through once a couple of the date ones have been fulfilled. Mind you I haven't had a sim on a date for months so later versions of JM's mod may have dealt to some of that.
Magicmoon:
No, it's the same. Some Sims will roll nothing but date wants the entire time, others will roll a few date wants then start wanting to gain skills, interact with relatives (the generic wants, not play with specific Sim unless they are on the lot), go to work, stay home from work, get promoted, buy a pet, qualify for scholarships, etc. until their entire wants panel is filled up with wants that are impossible to fill on the lot they are on or in the time allowed. Sometimes you can get around it by fulfilling the wants of the date, but sometimes the date starts rolling these stupid wants too. At that point you are guaranteed that the date cannot possibly be a dream date.
I could understand if they were dating a one bolt Sim. Perhaps they just aren't that interested. But this happens even with 3 bolt couples with high str/ltr as well as couples just getting to know each other.
I haven't found anything in common for this behavior either. I can take one Sim on a date and get all the crappy wants, then take the same Sim on another date with the same partner and get all date wants that time. The only thing I have noticed is that it appears that Knowledge Sims are slightly more guilty about filling their slots with skill gain wants, but it doesn't always hold true.
Ness:
If you flirt - check sim out then you can usually force the wants to reroll and get back to some date-related wants. If it's a non-controllable date who has got clogged with useless wants, asking them if they like what they see will usually force a reroll. This works best with better matches, a 0 or 1 bolt match may not get a reroll, but it works in most cases.
notveryawesome:
Going to a different lot will also re-roll the wants, but there's not always time for that.
cwykes:
changing lots doesn't guarantee you won't roll another slow dance want. Flirting works most times though sometimes you really didn't want to start up a romance..
