Question about 5 top businesses LTW...
cwykes:
max all skills is pretty easy if the sim pretty starts working for them as a toddler. Sitting a sim on a sofa with a book and a knowledge helmet is a lot less effort for you than organising dates and persuading stray sims to woohoo with your sim.
ZephyrZodiac:
True enough, but for CAS sims in a new hood it's pretty hard unless you increase their life expectancy!
As to woohoo - seems you don't use ACR!
Organizing dates is a pain - we need an autonomous ask on date mod for that....and a way of sims stopping slowdancing without having to be told!
However, with autoyak installed, any young sim can have 20 best friends before they even go to college, especially if they start out as part of a largish family! Some of these LTWs should have been made a lot harder - even without autoyak most of my popularity sims (even Lilith!) would achieve that total easily.

Apologies - I never let my sims keep that LTW so I forgot it was as high as that, and when I think about it, it's rather ridiculous that the pleasure alternative is 50 first dates, surely far easier to achieve as they don't have to go on for long, or be in any way memorable.
The pleasure sim "generic" LTWs all suck ass. The 50 first dates one isn't HARD, but it's basically impossible unless you're blatantly exploiting the system, because odds are, firstly, there aren't normally that many people to date in the neighborhood, and secondly, there's no way you'd bother with that many unless you were intentionally doing the crash/burn exploit on it.
50 dream dates, while not impossible, goes well past the range where it represents a challenge and simply goes into the "tedious" category.
ZephyrZodiac:
JM, for once you and I are in complete agreement! (Is this a first, she asks herself....)
I now use a mod from MTS2 by I forget who (I think it may be Mark Crumplebottom) which allows all sims to have any job aspiration going (unfortunately, they do tend to spin the Uni jobs even when they haven't been to Uni - and in this hood I'm being mean and not upgrading them..) but I do like to see very lazy pleasure sims wanting to be Chief of Staff or a General, etc., and although I accept it's non-awesome, it doesn't have any conflicts with awesome hacks.
The wierdest thing about pleasure sims is the way when they go to college they not only spin totally odd (for their aspiration) majors, but they always seem to spin two. So, I usually lock one, allow the other, then change it later - so they probably then have to work harder than the rest to gain some skill points.

I use one that tweaks some of the crazy ones...I believe Squinge did it before he took his toys and went home. The first date/dreamdate/woohoo/simultaneous loves ones are all set to 10. Grilled cheese is set to either 50 or 100, I believe. Not sure. Grilled cheese is a punishment aspiration for my Romance townies. Of course, I rarely permaplat my sims anymore, even if they have the relatively simple career LTWs.
