Locked Wants Disappear
Magicmoon:
This has happened a couple of times since I started playing BV.
Sim comes home from vacation and is given an extra want slot. I choose 2 wants and lock them. But then later when the extra want slot disappears and the wants are rerolled, often one of the locked wants is the one that disappears.
The last time it happened, I noticed that the extra want slot was placed on the top row. I chose one want from the top row, and one from the bottom row to lock. But when the extra want slot disappeared, it was the locked want on the bottom row that I lost. Is there any way to stop this? You lock a want because you want to keep it there!
I'm also having some difficulty related to vacation icon fulfillment. After reading various posts, it MAY be related to not saving while on each vacation, although I'm not sure. I'm having difficulty with the 'learn gesture type icons.' Even though a Sim learns a gesture and it appears in his memory, it doesn't always fulfill the matching vacation icon.
And aren't there only 3 new massages that can be learned in the game? Then why do my Sims that have learned all 3 keep rolling up wants to learn them?
Emma:
I have had locked wants disappear too, from losing the vacation extra want slot and also moving from college to the main neighbourhood on graduating. I haven't a clue what is causing it and it is bloody annoying :D The college want glitch has only happened since installing BV btw, it was fine before.

Because in order to "lose" a want slot, what the game DOES is to remove ALL your extra want slots, then re-add them. Therefore, if you has 7 want slots and you lose it when it expires, it will reset your entire want slot count back to 4 briefly, resulting in the truncation of your two "true" want slots. As you might imagine, this is supremely uncool. I recommend avoiding that reward as a result.
In fact, there are really only three rewards you pretty much want to ALWAYS take: The top right 2, and the one the lower left. They're the decay rate bonii and the Romance bonus. You DON'T want the Work Performance bonus because it will actually facestab you, as when it wears off, you immediately LOSE the bonus performance, which, when it happens while you're at work, instantly screws you out of your promotion you rightfully earned from going to work with plat/noodle. The want slot bonus, see above. And "FORGIVING"?!? How the hell is that a *BONUS*? An elephant never forgives!
Oh, and Death to Emmas. Like so. I don't even remember why I hate Emma, but I'm never going to forgive Emma.

I nearly always take the top 3 so I will just drop the want slot one

Yes, yes. Would you like to suggest some names for your future Gooplets? Look on the bright side, at least Goopy isn't a total bastard like Mitten's Komei. :P
