Title: No college want
Post by: bratz on 2007 March 11, 20:17:41
Yes, I have the nocollege obsession but the teens still want to go to college.  Is there a nocollege want ?



Thanks

I believe nocollegeobsession only applies to the family members of teenagers, and only squelches the 'X Goes to College' want in the parents and grandparents of teen sims. AFAIK, there is no hack for stopping teens from wanting to go to college, themselves. Maybe try looking through Squinge's hacks at InSim.

The Go To College want is not known to have a test tree, so can't be stomped without hacking the core want trees. This is extremely unsafe to do and you can only apply one such modification.

Damn.  I'm sick of taking teens with four want slots on dates only to have one of them constantly taken up by the go-to-college want.  Bah.

I think the closest workaround for this would be to give teens 5 slots, then revoke it after the teen stage.

It seems like after I loaded seasons my teens 'go to college' want goes away after awhile (I don't send mine till 3 days before).  I actually am having to click-save the want now if I am gonna send them and want them platinum when they get there.

Of course it seems like seasons really changed all my sims wants - in the spring I can't get any sim to stop getting wants to kiss, flirt and go on a date.  Kinda annoying and time wasting unless you make use of each season's bonus.  Summer for friends, spring for romance, fall for skilling and winter for family.  Getting a want outside of that is hard  :-\

meh, your lucky. I dont get anything but pet wants. Make Rower speak, sit, roll over, make Sparky play dead, teach Sparky a new trick, praise Sparky. All 6 slots on all chars in the house taken up by wants to pester the dang pe(s)t.

I wish there was a way to get rid of this just a little. I dont mind an occasional want to interact with the pet, but they do that all the time nonetheless, just not anything that will fulfill their wants.

Most of my families don't have pets just for that reason.  I require a 10 interest in animals for them to get one and then they turn into cat ladies/dog breeders.  I hate the whole want system though so usually I just get everyone permaplat quick and then do whatever I want  :P

I don't have Seasons yet, but the 'go to college' want disappears eventually for my sims, as well. I too have to lock the want-slot if I actually plan for that particular sim to go to Uni (otherwise I just let it disappear). Most wants disappear after a day or so of going unfulfilled. In the meantime, if the wants get too annoying, you can always reroll them using the lot debugger. Sometimes that works; sometimes it doesn't.
