If by can't choose you mean the LTW doesn't stick after choosing, there's probably a conflict with another mod.


He's a fortune sim, newly created with no completed lifetime wants. Yeah, I selected the (ignore restrictions) option and the LTW I wanted showed up as an option but when I chose it for him the LTW section of was blank. I even tried using sim modder and SimPE but the option I wanted simply wasn't available. I guess I'll go through my mods for a possible solution

Hey, thanks for this great mod!
I think i have a problem though - whenever i choose a ltw, the ltw given is chosen rndomly from their restricted ltws. I have syberspunk's adults go steady which needs teenenabledadultwants, which modifies the wanttrees package so i think that may be related but idk how to fix it without messing around with wants and those files too much (too scary lol). do you maybe have any insights into if these two are related and if yes is there any way to fix this without outright removing either of these mods?

Hi @switchbladecat
It's not related to want trees package and mods that modify it, but it is possibly a conflict. See Troubleshooting and Conflict resolving sections for more info

Curious, any way you could share what the qualifications are for basegame lifetime wants? I can't find this information on any wiki...

Hi @Gnefitisis
They go by aspirations, and I think I mostly kept them the same and added interests and so on

Hi!
I have a problem with the mod. I can't see all the lifetime wants even if I go to the "choose from all (ignore restrictions)" section. It can't be any conflicting mod since this is the only mod that i have nor any custom LWs because i don't have any. My sim didn't complete any aspiration as well. I have legacy collection if that helps

Hi @mars236
I don't plan on getting the Legacy Collection, so I can't offer support for it

Your mods are amazing as always, but for some reason this and the custom LTWs don't work for me. I can pick yours out from the list, but then my sims' LTW just rerolls to another Maxis one. I checked all mod clashes and at least from what you listed, there should be none.

apologies if my language use is weird, english is my fourth language and (fortunately) the only one I don't write terrible poetry in

My custom LTW is not showing up. When I create that dummy BHAV CT - I am Memory, doesn't it need to have a correct Instance number? You didn't specify

That BHAV will be called by name, instance number doesn't matter, as long as it's unique in its group, or in case of the custom group, unique to the package

I see thank you. Now the problem I have is that, for some reason, every Sim now rolls my new Lifetime Wish when they are made in CAS. No idea why. Also, I can't get the name of the Lifetime Want to change when hovering over the LTA bar ... it says "Top of Film - Directing Career" instead of "Distinguished Director" - I put Distinguished Director into the proper text lists as well.
Still have the problem of it not showing up with the LTA chooser. And then, the Lifetime Want being rolled for literally every single new Sim I make is very strange.

@heathensimmer
The CAS thing is probably because the requirements are too loose in the test bhav. You have to restrict it by aspiration and/or other sims' properties that are given to them later in the creation process. Regular LTWs ARE restricted, so if one LTW isn't - it "wins" by default as being the only one available to sims before they have an aspiration. It'll also be assigned to all kids, so I highly recommend to fix it.

I also suggest you start your own thread in the modding section, upload files, and tag me, so I can help you there. This is not the best place for troubleshooting your project
