Stupid 'buy lemonade stand' want.

It's the principle of linear obsession. Since the most heavily weighted wants or actions push out the lower-weighted ones, anything in a new expansion must be more obsessive-compulsive than anything in a previous expansion, or sims will never pay attention to it.
Yeah, but the lemonade stand actually came with OFB, and none of my OFB born kids actually wanted to buy them! It was only when I installed pets and/or seasons that the obsessive want occurred. I get them with the crafting stations and makeover salon too, but I don't mind those. It's the adults wanting to sell lemonade all the time that does my head in! I've said it before and I'll say it again...stupid sims.

My sim kids haven't wanted the lemonade stand since Seasons, which is fine. They usually end up smashed by a nasty townie or chewn to bits by a dog, anyways. Now, I do have one sim whose want slots are filled with "make zombie of Sim X", but then I'm in the middle of setting up a second try at the Apocalypse Challenge and doing some cleaning. The Oversoul is about to get very angry. Also, Charisma is a murderous freak.

I've mercifully seen the LemStand want relax a *lot* since installing past OFB, but I kinda think it was realistic when the kids would rillyrilly want to start/buy a Lemonade Stand, run/play it once, and then be over it. It did kind of annoy, but it was very true to lifeish and so like a real kid to be all, "Ooh, Xmas is coming - I want the new shiney! Yay, I got the new shiiney! New shiney is fun! Ooh, wait, what's that over there... Ooh, nevermind new shiney - now I want othernew shiney!"
Any realism in the progression was surely accidental, I'm sure, but it was kinda nice to see the kids actually act like real kids :)
