my toddlers have LTWs, am I doomed?
Toast:
Just what it says... I just noticed tonight that my last three kids have suddenly developed LTWs. Two toddlers want to be criminal masterminds, quite enterprising of them really. I am aware that toddlers with LTWs is a bad sign, but I have no idea how this could have happened. The neighborhood isn't particularly overpopulated (600ish char files) and I have never moved occupied lots, used DAC, or any of the other things that supposedly cause neighborhood explosion.
I'm not having any other major glitches at the moment, so should I keep playing this hood with fingers crossed, give up now and re-install, or what? Is there anything I can do to fix this or is it too late? It's a legacy lot this is happening on, and scrapping it is not an option. If I reinstall I'd have to recreate all the important sims in the neighborhood, blah blah, which would be a huge undertaking.
Also, I play on a Mac, so any fixes with SimPE won't work for me. :P
spaceface:
If you are "that" Toast, then this is simply typical of the behaviour of your sims as a whole, please run with it :P
I, on the other hand, have a teen who still only has a "grow up" aspiration. I have sent him to college, hopefully his aspiration will be satisfied once he is there. However, he was a TSR Challenge sim, so more likely to be borked as they provide occupied lots.
ZephyrZodiac:
Since you can't use Simpe, the only thing I can suggest is you use the Clean Installer (if that works for Macs) to read what character files you have in your Characters folder. All "persons" are ok, but any duplicate of a "person" classed as an "object" is probably not necessary, and could be the source of LTWs which your babies and toddlers are spawning. Simply removing those character files, however, is not the answer, and without access to SimPE to do a clean-up, I don't know what is.
As to the sim with the Grow-up aspiration, try using the Renuyu-Senso-Orb - even if the sim is not gold or platinum, it doesn't matter, you just want to unlock something that is locked, and once he has Grilled Cheese you can get him to platinum fairly quickly and then use the orb again.

Oh, mannnn, Toast, not another horror. I know this is a VBT, but this happened to me a couple of generations ago--a child with the sudden LTW of Five Top Level Businesses. I noticed (and this may or may not be connected) that it happened when it did right after I used Boolprop to age some neighborhood babies who weren't in the legacy house. A simple reset to Grow Up and there were no further problems. I know it's a VBT. I lived in fear for months. But that was April or May, and the child in question has a grandkid in college and it hasn't happened again.
Because I've had some of the same symptoms and problems--met self, children with LTWs--I asked some friends to please extract a few critical Sims for me, saved them in Body shop, and kept copious notes. I'd hate to have to reset the hood, but if I did, I could. If it were me, I'd correct the kids, cross my fingers, and hope for the best.
You could also try using the Lot Debugger to clear trash and gossip from memories. It can't hurt to try.
(And if someone more awesome than me wants to correct me on this. . .?)
BTW, ZephyrZodiac, Clean Installer also does not work for Macs. We are forced to live dangerously.

Well, I wasn't sure if that was the case or not. But it's a much smaller program than SimPE (also very useful) and it might be worth asking if there's a possibility of it being made Mac-friendly......
even so, the Renuyu-senso-orb should work, but obviously not with toddlers and kids.
