An odd want
Liz:
Given that she's a Knowledge Sim, maybe it's less about the money and more about the "let's find some wacky, sadistic new mode of death to study and wouldn't Robert make a great guinea pig" side of things. I notice she's also Fearing his death at the same time she's hoping to turn a profit on the body ;)
From her Fears I'm guessing she's either pregnant or has just given birth - maybe she's longing for some of that sweet "Cheat Death/Tongue Kiss Some Lightning" action from her younger days but feels it's slightly more responsible to have a non-pregnant proxy stand in for her. Or if Robert's just somehow pissed her off, maybe it's a Want-ish cousin of the "See Burglar's Ghost" murder fantasy, heh.

I never saw that Want, but maybe I don't play one family for long enough for its members to have enough money to be worth inheriting!
However, I did notice that one of my Romance sims has the want to help her child with her homework - I've occasionally seen it with Popularity, but never before with Romance.
I've also noticed that at Uni, since they get all these spring, summer, autumn, winter related wants, it's only very committed Knowledge sims who get the "Graduate Summa Cum Laude" want, and the other exam related wants seem to cease after they make the Dean's List once. Most of my uni sims now spend more time fishing or gardening than they do studying!
Another thing I've definitely noticed, which appears to be base game related, is that the "Buy a tree" wants have reappeared - not shrubs or plants, just trees! I don't have any hacks to prevent this want, but it just seemed to disappear of its own accord, but now it's back.

Hi ZZ long time no see! the tree wants are in accordance with the fruit trees that came out with Seasons. As for want in general the Seasons EP and now Bon Voyage seem to have thrown the want trees way out of whack.
Personally I find the new wants somewhat refreshing as they intersperse with the old standard ones! Now if only EAxis would fix the nasty nannies .:P
ZephyrZodiac:
Hi Bangel!
The trees I mean are ordinary trees - the fruit tree wants are separate. and my fortune sims get both! I don't know if satisfying the fruit tree want would satisfy the other at the same time, though.
veilchen:
Well, well, if it isn't ZZ. Long time no see. It's so very good to see you, I thought that for a while there, you'd given up on the sims. I know I disappear from time to time, maybe we just kept missing each other.
Mine roll the 'buy an orchard tree' too. Strangely enough, it's while they are on a community lot on vacation. The want re-rolls upon coming home, where buying an orchard tree would make more sense.
Ah the simmies and their silliness. I often find it extremely funny. And there you have it: it's a feature, not a bug. :)
