Wants & Fears Sanity "Death To All Nesses" Public Beta Edition
MissDoh:
Could the silly want to swim when there is no swimming pool on the residential lot be added to this awesome list? Same for playing pool.
Or are these already included but there is simply no mention of it?
EDIT: It is showing a conflict with your "no random flirts" mod. From what I read in the description, I guess that mod is included in this package already now?
PandaGirl:
Would this be able to be tweaked to cover not wanting a car if there's not driveway on a lot?

Swimming is already included, the list is pretty huge. Noted about the pool hustling.

It's much more annoying than that, believe me. Firstly, the way it triggers pretty much ALWAYS guarantees that the option to invite the person is no longer available, and it's never there when you DO want to invite someone over. Secondly, the want to invite someone over already exists. So basically, they will want that first, now, and THEN the other stuff will appear.
Ahh... ok. At least there will be some logical progression then. I just didn't want like total stompage... I hope this means that more useful and/or interesting wants will roll up in place of these.

If you actually DO get the pet to appear, the wants will roll up as usual
Ok, at least now my YA won't be so obsessed with his pet still at home. He'll be graduating in a couple semesters anyway, and movin back in, so he'll be reunited with his dog soon enough.

This is directly due to the insane amount of spam out there. The skating want is SO PERNICIOUS that is almost GUARANTEED to appear without help, believe me. Not to mention it's worth so little that there's little point in enduring horrible load lag JUST to get a lousy 500 ASP. You'd lose more Asp from time than you would by actually GOING anywhere to fill that lot, making it a net minus to even attempt! Whim-of-the-moment wants need sanity brakes.
Well, I don't mind these type of wants, that really probably would only get satisfied at comm lots, especially for the poorer sims (who can't yet afford to buy their own personal bowling lanes, skating rinks, and swimming pools... or have the space to place them ). I don't really play the game to keep track of points. These wants are sort of my way to imagine that my sims actually have minds of their own. They're a way for the sims to tell me what they would like to do... and then it's up to me to decide whether or not I feel like taking the trip downtown or not.
I kinda felt that, with the nogizmowants hack, it helped before... but then, even in large households, with only one landline, my sims were no longer getting wants to buy cell phones. Especially on Uni lots, it was kinda necessary, with households as large as 7 to 12 playables. But, with limited funds (since I don't play all sims to straight A+'s and thus full scholarships and/or semester grants), I let their individual wants dictact Who specifically gets to do what.
Anyhew... it's not the aspiration points that I care about so much... rather, the wants serve as a 'suggestion' for me to decide how I feel like playing my sims that day, in that household. It's a way to keep my interest in the game, so that I don't end up playing all sims the same exact way... so that not everyone necessarily fullfills the LTWs, not everyone will reach the top of their careers, not everyone will get straing A+s, or 4.0 GPAs, or even graduate.

The problem is, those wants aren't variables, they're just perma-clog. Every sim will ALWAYS get them, and they ALWAYS clog the slots, PREVENTING your sims from having much variety.
