FFS "Batbox" Lot Debugger v2.0: NUCLEAR WAR EDITION

Since Free Time sims can hit permaplat in three ways. Hitting their LTW (which they don't get until teens), maxing out their LTA meter (introduced in FT), or from a genie wish. Carida's problem is that her toddlers are hitting permaplat the second way. It is possible to do so if you extend the toddler stage, satisfy their wants, and keep their aspiration high most of the time.
Oops, I confused LTW with the new LTA, and I've learnt something new. I guess I've been spending too much time debugging my installation instead of actually playing. I didn't know an infant can go PermaPlat with FT, and it's a stupid feature.
For me, once a Sim gets PermaPlat, some of the fun disappears. I find the Sim can spend the rest of their days partying and socializing, and ignore all other SWAFs. Unless there's a business involved, the incentive to maintain the Sim is gone. It's like playing out an Elder waiting for death.
I wonder if there are any people who know how to write something to put into the game that may imped, or prevent, this pre-teen permaplat annoyance?
Kyna:
The two people that I can recall complaining about it were both using mods that changed the way time works in the game. One of them had extended the number of days spent in each life stage. The other is Carida, who is using the time clock set at 50%. If they weren't messing with the time or the number of days in the toddler lifestage then their toddlers wouldn't be permaplatting. As Pescado said, there simply isn't enough time in the toddler stage under normal gameplay to max out the LTA that early.
I believe there are mods about to deal with the permaplat issue, but I don't know for sure as I don't use them. You could go ask in the WCIF thread if such mods exist. Don't be surprised if someone with your "sense of humour" replies with an unhelpful "yes".

Heh, I just spent the time since my last post searching for a hack for this annoyance, but no luck yet. I sure I'm not the only person who doesn't agree with infants getting permaplat. I'd want to prevent it from occurring pre-adult, and preferably Awesome. I'm having a hard enough time debugging (only one left) so I can keep my non-Awesome InSim multi-tool, but I've got Inge's mods downloaded just in case I admit defeat.

Edit: ask in WCIF!
Kyna:
Roux, I wanted him/her to go to the WCIF thread, because he/she deserves some payback there.
When he/she asks "Is there a mod that ..." someone can reply

Yes.
And then when he/she complains about the unhelpful nature of the answer he/she can be told to:

get a fucking sense of humour.
After all, if they think it's funny when they do it to others then they should find it funny when someone does it to them. We'd be providing them with lulz.
