Romance sim wants to marry off 6 children?
dusty:
My weirdness happened way before Nightlife - and it's only been the one, so far everyone else has conformed to type.
Regina:
Most of my sims are fairly conformed. I did think it odd, however, when my hubby-sim had a knowledge aspiration and rolled a LTW to become a celebrity chef. Of course maybe that's not so odd considering the science involved in cooking. ;)

Hook, I haven't installed the patch yet.
This is decidedly odd. I haven't seen any weird unrelated LTW's myself, but it sounds like several people have.
It's interesting that the tests include LTW's for the new Uni careers:
Cult Leader appeals to Popularity and Knowledge.
Ecological Guru appeals to Knowledge.
Show Business Icon appeals to Popularity.
Visionary (Artist career) appeals to Romance.
I've never heard of anyone getting a LTW for these careers, but the tests are in there for the aspirations. It would be nice to see the code where the LTW is selected, but no one seems to know where it's done. Perhaps in the game's C++ code.
I have some doubts about the game's random number generator, which is obviously in the C++ code. The game uses two, one for the Secure Socket Layer communication, the other is not the standard Microsoft library function. Some parts of the game act as if the random number generator isn't being properly "randomly" seeded, or isn't even being used. Or perhaps there is more than one sequence generated, and not all are being seeded. If the number generated isn't used correctly it might cause weird errors like getting LTW's out of the norm.

Well I did some testing like I mention and here is how it goes but first in my case it seems to be related to the fact that after I added downtown and University I deleted all characters and with boolprop created new ones for all section which are: NPC, townie, University townie, Downtown townie and Downtown NPC. Now for some reason it made the game create weird Sims that did not had related aspiration/LTW. Here are some example of what I ended up with:
- Romance with LTW of Chief of Staff
- Knowledge with LTW of Party Guest and 20 lovers
- Fortune with LTW 20 woohoo and slacker
- Pleasure with LTW of Mayor
- Popularity with LTW of 6 granchildren that graduates
- Family with LTW Criminal mastermind and Chief of staff
However, after changing their aspiration using the Renuyu-U and choosing an aspiration matching the LTW they had it seems to came back to normal, I could change them from family to popularity than to romance and they were having mathing aspiration/LTW.
Since way before I install the patch I resetted my neighborhood and did not play them at all since, I decided to go check if those Sims were having mathing aspiration/LTW and to my surprise they all did.
So now my question is, did the game went crazy because of the deleteallcharacters or did I did something wrong while I use boolprop? I doubt I did something wrong since I selected the option to create townies and NPC and no others, I did not even clic anywhere else I let my Sim do whatever it is that it wanted.
Even strangier lol

Well, I'm playing a neighbourhood now where I used deleteAllCharacters, I haven't created any replacement townies etc., and I've not had any wierdness in LTWs (mind you I'm only playing in La Fiesta at the moment, none of my sims has graduated yet), but I do have sims walking past their friends or relatives houses without ringing the doorbell - when I've played normally with dormies and SS all over the place, then friends of sims living on the lot would come and visit, but not walk straight past. so I think deleteAllCharacters can make odd things happen!
