LTW's
Li'l Brudder:
LTWs are owning what?
Tamha:
"LTW's" is appropriate grammar, because LTW is an acronym. You also should type as "TV's" and "VCR's" as other examples. "Life Time Want's" would be incorrect, sure, but acronyms are supposed to always use an apostrophe.

Any testimonials as to whether Squinge's hack plays nicely with ltwvariety?
Yeah, what Syberspunk said. You can use the hack that enables the Uni careers with ltwvariety OR with Squinge's Any LTW for all aspirations. But not both. Squinge's hack allows any aspiration to have any of the LTWs. You have to still use lot debugger to reroll the LTW to get what you want. Or you can use ltwvariety that comes with its own specific set of rules governing who can have what LTW. It's your choice. Ltwvariety will "see" the new LTWs if you have them enabled.
I was just over at Squingeland and looked at the "New LTWs mod". It still requires you to modify the base files as well as drop stuff in Downloads. Maybe someone was thinking of one of his other LTW mods?

This is the Pets version. It hasn't been updated for Seasons yet as per his thread in the EP5 section entitled "Any LTW for all aspirations".

Not in this case. If it was punctuated as "L.T.W.", an apostrophe would be used. See below for general rules:
Quote from: Writer's Block: Plural and Possessive Abbreviations
The formation of plurals and possessives is usually pretty
straightforward, except in the case of abbreviations and acronyms. The
following rules should help.
To form the plural of an abbreviation, a number, or a capital letter
used as a noun, simply add an 's' to the end.
- A group of MPs
- The late 1940s
- Mind your Ps and Qs
To form the plural of an abbreviation with periods, a lowercase letter
used as a noun, and abbreviations or capital letters that would be
ambiguous or confusing if the 's' alone were added, use an apostrophe
and an 's'.
- A group of M.P.'s
- The x's in the equation
- Sending SOS's
EDIT: Wrong source.

Huh. It seems the Seasons version of the hack just requires you to drop stuff in the Downloads folder. I'd be more than glad to use the hack if I didn't have to modify core game files.
