The are also all sick and the plague info is cool - or rather it would be if I knew what things stood for! Is that posted anywhere? Couldn't find it searching on plague. I guess LD is lethal dose and CT is contagious. Mum/gran already died.

I haven't noticed the disease options on the debugger yet, but I guess SS is severity.
I think Pescado maintains an air of mystery around all his hacks to make the game harder to play.

I'm having a problem with changing lifetimewants and wondering if it's because I don't have all the EPs (base game and OFB only). The newest version of the lot debugger seems to stick on one choice and the LTW cycle doesn't cycle. I'm using it in conjuction with harder jobs. It seems to like own 5 businesses a lot and I was just wondering if something wasn't cycling back to look at base game wants properly.
If you're using LTWvariety, it will restrict "broken" ones, such as getting the 5 businesses want AGAIN after you've already satisfied it, as well as inappropriate ones, such as jobs your sim would logically hate from his utter lack of interest and/or personality. It will also restrict "impossible" options for the default game, such as a demand for a career want for elders (not possible by default). If those sims were loaded pre-LTWvariety, they may have impossible wants carried over from initial install conversion, which cannot roll back when restricted by LTWvariety.

The boolprop LTW test object doesn't appear when I try and spawn it. I wondered if that was related.
That item has never worked.

elder - family - marry off 6 kids - didn't roll again - this works.
Male elder, I hope.

elder - fortune - business tycoon - not possible - re-rolled to own 5 businesses
elder - reputation - max career - not possible - re-rolled to own 5 businesses
elder - romance - max career - not possible - re-rolled to Blank - now has no LTW
elder - knowledge - max career - not possible - re-rolled to Blank - now has no LTW
Again, if you're using LTWvariety, this will restrict elders from rerolling to career wants, as these are impossible. If all wants become impossible, either because you've done it already, or because they're all restricted, it will become blank. Elder Romance, for instance, if already in possession of 20 lovers and 20 woohoo memories, cannot roll those wants and therefore will receive no new LTW, as the Romance cores are Lovers/Woohoos, and jobwants are not possible for elders.

adult - family - captain hero - re-rolled and no change - left it alone.
adult - fortune - business tycoon - re-rolled to 5 businesses and re-rolls that every time - he has 10pts activity and 6 interest in sport. He had a job in sport - would not roll a sports option. Cycle didn't give any choices. I changed his job and rolled again - same thing. 5 business want and no sports option.
6 is not a very high interest in sports. You need 7 or so. Keep reading!

tried and failed to give the knowledge sim an LTW in simPE.
Lose a skillpoint, roll again.

Does this sound as if it's working "as intended"?
If LTWvariety is in place, then yes, working as intended. Trying to attach fresh LTWs to existing sims which have already closed off most of their options in life due to pre-LTW play will result in very limited options. Try the "Toggle LTW Bit" in the debugger instead.

Some options are really intended more for use by me, than by you. :P If you really want to understand plagues, go read the Plague Studies.

I should have said these guys are relatively newly created and haven't done much. None of them is anywhere near achieving an LTW. The elders had impossible career wants from when I checked them after installing OFB - before LTW variety existed - that's why I was re-rolling them. The romance elder hasn't got to 3 loves at once yet - never mind 20 woohoo! The knowledge sim has maxed 2 skills and got about 6 other points in total. The popularity sim had about 5 friends before he dropped dead last night and I saved by accident. He got out of the car from work and dropped dead before I could get him to the Elixir. Oops. Platinum grave anyway.
I'll get the sports guy another interest point or two and try again in the interests of science. He is fixable in SimPE at least. I couldn't allocate an LTW to the sims without one in SimPE - nothing to click on to replace. I suppose I could delete the SWAF files.
They are all guys, so the family sim kid related-options should be achieveable by all of them. With your new improved LTW chooser, I thought they would pop up for these guys at least. As they can also be satisfied by adoption, they aren't acutally impossible for female elders either,
I designed this household as sort of a challenge, but 3 sims wanting 5 top businesses when two are elders........
I did read the plague studies with interest! Couldn't work out what the abreviations were though even there. guess I can scratch my head some more if you don't feel like posting them. I've got SH, LD(lethal dose?) CS,CT(contagious?), RP, RHC and Unk(unknown?). No SS on my screen

So why don't these guys roll the obvious non-career wants? Thinking about it, I've never seen those as LTW's in my game just careers and the family wants and own 5 top businesses. Maybe they just aren't on whatever LTW list my game has made out of base game + OFB. How do I check that? Would your saner LTW let these guys throw a family want?
Now they are not all sick any more, I can head off to other plague stricken households armed with information and understanding.
