Yes, the literature part was because this is the only major that benefits Adventurer career (the one which title is Space Pirate on the top level).
But yeah, I usually don't bother completing lifetime want as its two major benefits are a lot of influence points and aspiration points (which I can easily save up) and permanent platinum.
But...
Permanent platinum can be obtained two other ways:
1. By filling up the lifetime aspiration bar to the max. This is the bar that gives aspiration benefit points (which can be used to get a secondary aspiration). It slowly raises or lowers depending on sim's aspiration bar. Not only that, but some major life events like marriage, graduation, opening a business etc will raise this meter some amount when they first occur.
2. If your sim gets a genie lamp (which can be delivered when a sim has a high lifetime aspiration bar and high hobby enthusiasm), they can wish for peace of mind, which will give them permanent platinum if it succeeds (if it fails, enjoy everything breaking!).
So yeah, have your sims enjoy their hobbies at their free time and good things will come to them eventually. Including less of those "Have a Baby" wants.
I had a born in game Sim roll Romance as her LTW. She was permanent platinum during her teen years and she hadn't even flirted with anyone let alone get her first kiss. She was helping to raise her 4 quadruplet siblings.
I use the LTW as a guide for what I do with the Sim. Not everyone in real life achieves their desired goal. My above Romance Sim never completed her LTW. She wanted to enter a career that I couldn't put her in due to the rules of the challenge.
I have a mod called ACR where I can put in Sims Ideal Family Size and if 2 Sims have different Ideal Family Sizes the one with the larger one has to convince their spouse to have more. Which is likely the case for a Sim who wants to marry off 6 kids.
My Sims who end up with the 6 grandchildren want best hope they end up with multiple kids and that they have enough kids on their own. Because I'm not going to force it. And those with LTW's that require X number of kids best hope their spouse also wants lots of kids, they get "lucky" with the multiples, or they can convince their spouse (and they have to roll a baby want to be able to persuade) - it involves formulas and a pair of dice.
