LTW's
Kyna:
Moniquinin, you can also cycle through the LTWs on the lot debugger. If you're after a specific LTW then it's faster than choosing reroll LTW.
Leiela, if you're using Pescado's ltwvariety hack, then the LTWs they roll up can be affected by their interests, so tweaking the interests can help. It's also not a good idea to use it in a fairly new neighbourhood, it's better to wait until the hood is a generation or two old. This is because the mod takes into account their parents' LTWs so that careers can run in families.
That being said, I ended up taking ltwvariety out of my game as I was ending up with almost everyone wanting to be either Celebrity Chef, Captain Hero, or Hall of Famer. Some LTWs, such as General, I rarely (if ever) saw in my game. I was using the mod to give a wider choice of career LTWs to my family sims - but it only added one that I could see (culinary).

Could it be that they didn't have enough interest points relevant to the LTW you'd like them to roll? For example, if a sim has no or low interest in crime, they'll never want to be Captain Hero or Criminal Mastermind.

If you want to go the easy (well, somewhat) route, you can download Squinge's All LTWs for All Aspirations hack. Personally, I love it.

leiela,
Try the additional LTWs that Squinge enabled http://www.insimenator.net/showthread.php?t=39837 These are just the 4 (Artist, Show Biz, Natural Science, & Paranormal ) that EA never enabled
Has anyone used this? It seems you just put the files in the downloads folder, without having to edit anything. But I heard somewhere that it wasn't safe.

I've used it for over a year and haven't had a problem with it at all.

I've tried maxing out politics, health and sports, as those are the only ones I can think of that would be relevant to the military career. My sims then roll up LTWs for Mayor, Chief of Staff and Hall of Famer. But not for General. It seems that not even Popularity sims get it when I have ltwvariety in my game.
It's the career I'd most like to put my sims in (after the new Education one) due to the reward. Currently I don't switch my sims to different careers. Not long after Uni I tried career switching to farm the career rewards and got bored with it (even though I had a self-imposed rule that they had to reach the top before I switched). My sims now get their LTW career as their only career. The only exception to this is if I want the lot to have one of the uni career rewards.

It's my understanding that you have to mess with the core game files to use Squinge's hack for LTWs, and that you have to remember to uninstall it when you patch or install a new EP. Too much messing about for me.
