Greater LTW Variety & Sanity
J. M. Pescado:
Makes LTW, especially for careers, appropriate to the sim: A sim who has absolutely no interest in Crime is not suddenly going to want to become a Criminal. All career LTWs now have certain prerequisite interest and/or personality levels that must be met, or that career will never appear for the sim. The results should be fairly intuitive(Athletes like sports, Mayors like politics, Chefs like food, etc.). Careers are also not hard-locked to aspiration, and so Family sims should have greater variety in LTWs now: A sim's career want can cross aspirational boundaries if he has a relative who is at the top of the career track to emulate as a family tradition (I.E., all members of the Grunt family of appropriate interest may decide they'd like to join the military, regardless of aspiration). Because elders cannot normally take regular careers, once a sim is an elder, he will no longer roll career wants (other than his present career, if not maxed). A CAS elder will thus not be stuck with an impossible want. Similarly, "crazy" wants like "Marry off a million children", "Have a million grandchildren", "Graduate a million children from college", all carry sanity checks as well: An elder (female) will not be able to roll new children LTWs unless she already *HAS* the required number of children (since it would be impossible to get more!). Elder males can still have more children and are not limited in this way. However, a sanity check is also added for aging neighborhoods: If your neighborhood is already overpopulated, some of these will no longer appear because satisfying them would render your game unplayable and/or destroy your neighborhood files in a Big Fiery Ball That Is Visible From Space.

RTFM:
Greater LTW Variety & Sanity (v1b) for TS2NL p0 - TS2OFB p0
Made by: Flying Fish Systems (J. M. Pescado & Doctor Boris)
Special Thanks To:
Fairlight the Bitch
Congratulations to: Draklixa!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Place in your MYDOCU~1\EAGAME~1\THESIM~1\DOWNLO~1 directory.
FEATURES:
Lifetime wants for careers are no longer strictly aspirationally correlated,
and will instead vary by appropriate interests and personality. Career-wants
for varying careers may appear outside of aspirational boundaries due to
family influence, and sim personalities will match desired occupation. Crazier
lifetime wants (Marry Off 6 Children, Have 6 Grandchildren) will disappear in
neighborhoods of advanced age and therefore population to slow down Armageddon.
COMPATIBILITY:
Compatible with all FFS Hacks. For TS2NL - TS2PETSp0
SIDE EFFECTS:
May cause computer damage, incontinence, explosion of user's head, coma, death,
and/or halitosis.
WARNING:
Do not open, crush, dispose of in fire, put in backwards, short-circuit, or mix
with non-awesome hacks - may explode, leak, or catch fire, resulting in injury
and/or death.
Magicmoon:
Besides aspiration, what other traits normally affect LTW?
I was trying to give a Sim the 'Adventure Career Want' by cycling with the Lot Debugger because he had a high interest in Travel. But it wouldn't show up. After messing around for awhile, it looks like the Sim must be active to get this LTW. Am I right? If so, are there any other LTW's that have these types of limits on them?
J. M. Pescado:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way that I read that, it looks to me like all of the child-related wants require you to have children before the want will even show up. Doesn't that sort of defeat the purpose?

No, you're misreading it. The wants will show up for sims of appropriate aspiration, as long as they are of proper age to produce more children, OR if they already have the children. Female elders without the requisite number of children, however, will not roll those as new or CAS LTWs, since they can't do that.
