Wants & Fears Sanity "Death To All Nesses" Public Beta Edition

[Aner-Dyfan]

It is possible to throw a party at an owned lot, and yes Sims do just seem to fly over for it. Just like my owned businesses have vacation people working at them. I wasn't able to throw a party on a hotel lot using the cell phone, the option didn't come up in the menu.

Where are my ten thousand dollars?

Edit:
There might have been a problem though with the cell phone, since I tried it after the owned lot as such I might still have been thinking that lot was the 'home' despite me being checked into the hotel. Will update in a couple of mins.

Update:
Nope doesn't appear to be an option on a hotel lot.

Thanks for the update. Looks like the want just needs stomping on community lots then.

We spent the money on airfares to that party of yours, sorry!

I just had a female married Servo get the "Have a Baby" want, with this hack installed. I have all EPs, including BV.

EDIT: Never mind, I realized adoption satisfies the want.

My teens, children and toddlers get blank want and fear slots and I get errors (log attached). Sometimes the problem is fixed when they come back from school and reroll their wants, but that is only temporary. When they reroll their wants in the morning, the slots are blank again. The problem is not limited to one household and or one neighbourhood.

I'm pretty much sure this is caused by wfsanity because I removed all other hacks and custom content but the problem still occurs. I have all expansions up to Seasons (no BV) plus H&M and Teenstyle Stuff. I recently installed Teenstyle, so maybe it is related to that. I've also had two crashes, but I'm not sure they are related. I couldn't reproduce them, so they might be caused by something else entirely.

   I just installed this hack today, Seasons latest EP also, no H&M, no Teen Style (using Seasons Version, dated Jan. 19) and i'm also getting blank wants/fears for all sims (toddler thru Adult).  Error message shows bad gosub tree.   I'll add my log just in case.
   PS: I'm getting the error msgs when i use the Lot Debugger to Reroll the wants.
   reroll/Error Msg/Cancell  - No effect on wants/fears
   reroll/Error Msg/Reset - No effect on wants/fears
   reroll/Error Msg/Delete - at this stage, i usually end up with totally wierd/inappropriate wants.
   rinse/repeat

I too am getting blank wants for my children but no error reports. It is striking every child in every neighborhood. Upon transition to teens the problem resolves itself. Only awesome hacks installed and all updated from the Seasons directory and the Directors Cut (double checked this..my DL folder is very organized). This just started recently (last few weeks). The reroll wants option on the lot debugger does not work either. I also cannot reroll the blank wants via debug mode.  All EP's up to Seasons and no stuffit packs. All games patched. This is truly strange.

I guess the next thing I need to do is remove this hack to see if that is the root of the problem. 

[GayJohnScarritt]

   New test.  Completely empty Downloads folder, only things added were the ffsdebugger and wfsanity (Seasons Versions).  Got the error as soon as i entered the lot.   
   Error attached.

I did not want to say anything, but I am having the same problem with blank wants and fears slots for children, and it too was not fixable using the Lot Debugger, and it too resolved as soon as I took wfsanity out (and nothing else).

Why didn't you want to say anything? Now it is all your fault!

[GayJohnScarritt]

   The fix is up for Pre-BV wfsanity.  According to Pescado, it was a compatability issue.  On three, yell BAAA.

   One.
 
   Two.

   Three. <runs quickly out of the room>

[professorbutters]

Why didn't you want to say anything? Now it is all your fault!

I know, I know.  It's because Pescado fills me with dread.

Also, I assumed it was 1) something I did or 2) tight pants.

Just installed BV and the new shiny wfsanity.  So far, all I'm seeing is fewer Stupid Pet Wants (why do you care if your brother's cat gets a job?)

Post fix, all my childrens' wants have returned to normal.  Bahhhh...frikkin...bahhhh

[J. M. Pescado]

Just installed BV and the new shiny wfsanity.  So far, all I'm seeing is fewer Stupid Pet Wants (why do you care if your brother's cat gets a job?)

wfsanity is relatively subtle, it just eliminates all the unsatisfiable low-yield wants and ridiculous crap, so that your sims will then roll up more interesting stuff.

[EsotericPolarBear]

Any chance you could look at removing the marriage and engagement wants from the romance aspiration?

It's really bizarre having my sim both want AND fear engagement and marriage 

Especially when I'm on a date and get marriage wants for other sims. 

[Jelenedra]

I LIKE those Wants. It means the Romance sim is ready to "settle down." Although, it would be nice to have a sanity check to see they have a FEAR as well as a WANT. Like, they shouldn't get a Want to get married if they already have a fear. Or something.

[mitchellcjs]

I assumed that if they had the want, they were ready to settle down, and the fear was pre-wedding jitters and fear of losing their freedom.  Seemed logical and very real-life emulating.

[EsotericPolarBear]

So when I get 5 simultaneous marriage wants for 5 different sims, that means...what?  I'm ready to collect life insurance? 

[Zazazu]

Precisely. You have a black widow on your hands. You could always do a Free Love Cult. Those can be endless drama if you leave jealousy on.

[EsotericPolarBear]

hahaha, I had to turn off jealously because of the "20 simultaneous lovers" aspiration.  It got old having all the dates at my house because I was afraid to be seen in public after I got up to #5.

[Zazazu]

Free Love isn't dating/having lovers. It's every sim in the house marrying whomever they like, preferably with the others liking the new spouse. It requires tweaking behind-the-scenes with hacks or SimPE. It + ACR + household limit removal hack = absolute chaos. First comes marriage, then comes marriage, then comes baby, and maybe a couple more marriages and babies. Next thing you know, someone's caught someone else making out and the fighting and breaking up explodes while the kids absolutely lose it. Actually, even with jealousy turned off, you're sure to have a couple sims end up hating each other. It's Pescado-level drama.

[Charamei]

Wolud it be possible to add in a check to prevent Marco Polo wants when there is no swimming pool on the lot and fishing wants when there's no pond? With FT and a bunch of Sims who are growing their own food, the fishing wants in particular are getting obnoxiously intrusive.

[J. M. Pescado]

Answer: If it was, I'd have done it already. Alas, those wants are checktreeless, meaning they refuse to die.

[Charamei]

Bugger.

Good to know, at least. Baa.

[Emma]

This may be the totally wrong place to ask this, but it seemed logical to me....do sims get wants to buy the new freetime stuff like the ballet barre, the restorable car, the pottery wheel and the sewing machine? I haven't seen any wants for these items come up yet-and I only buy my sims stuff if they actually want them. All my sims want to buy are bowling alleys, saunas and massage tables.

[J. M. Pescado]

Yes, they do. Buy wants like those are mostly free ASP, though. Death to Emma.
