Children have lifetime wants?

Several premade children in later expansions do have built-in LTWs and that is fine; they wont even keep their LTWs after they age to teens, unless it rolls to the exact same one they were coded to have.

Children born in-game that develop LTWs early is a sign of a problem though. The sheer corruptability of the game has always been the reason I never play the game in serious bursts, I spend months just trying to clean out the initial data to avoid the corruption, then get bored >.>

I'm going to test this theory this week. Paricularly using the premaid families the OP mentioned above. Because I haven't played any premade household in years and years. I do recall playing (for a short time) the family in Riverblossom, and one or two in Desiderada. Desiderada hood is bugged in many ways, even when you bulldoze a house and rebuild on a lot. It has many glitches even in an empty template, that I have never been able to figure out why. Strange stuff happens in lots on the hood template even if you build from scratch. lol I try not to use it for custom hoods but I have yet to ever see premade families' kids have LTWs. But I'm going to load those families the OP mentioned and see if they are bugged that way. But I will add this note from experience. I used the hood checker once on one of my saves. It was a mistake by the time it was done 'correcting' data etc. or removing Sims from lots etc. My game was a bigger mess than before. I learned not to use it anymore. I wound up with a bigger mess than just a stuck Sim on a lot that didn't belong there. The only real corruption I have seen is when I downloaded shared lots off the internet (some even in this day and age) that held data of a Sim. I remember installing a lot (which I check before installing) and it had a Sim upstairs on a community lot. It was a popular download I got from tumblr or somewhere. I had to get rid of the lot from lot catalog and the game. Because no lot should be installed that has Sims in them but they can even if the SimpkCleanInstaller may not list a Sim in the files when you check to install. I saw her in build mode when I loaded to check out the inside. What a shock. lol

ETA: I'm back. @Lucy_Henley I loaded those hoods and yes, you are correct some children in Maxis' later EPs have LTWs. I didn't play those families when the games were released so I didn't know. I stand corrected. But it's not corruption of the game nor your mods. It's Maxis.

One thing everyone should remember is Maxis would cheat to build Sims, give them skills, age them up or down, and in some cases give them more than one Aspiration (Mr. Big is a good example of a Sim with several LT aspirations). They also used cheats like CFE to build lots, MOO to place objects and all sorts of things. They would actually play a household for awhile to kill off some and put them in the graves on a lot, or kill them off with the death token (Bella) etc. It's not a corruption but it's how they set up the premades so though I didn't know those kids had LTWs it's not corruption nor your mods.

Also just a note, I noticed when I loaded those households you mentioned a mod for a longer life (38 days for adults and 14 days for kids etc.) didn't work in those premade households. So, as I said some mods won't work with some packs even though we've had some mods for years and some will never work with TS2UC. In my case because of store packs like Fun With Pets that is part of TS2UC. Sally's dad was still 20 days away from aging and it should have read 38 days. It only works for newly created households and not on premade families I guess. Just thought I would mention it. But you were correct and so was @Devalaous some Maxis premade households kids have LTWs. It's probably because Maxis cheated to add them to family or up or down aging or to make it seem like that whole family wanted to be in dance or entertainment. Maxis did a lot of cheating in these games to set up households but won't hurt your game overall. ETA: And as I said I think the whole Desiderata hood is bugged with strange stuff even the empty template to build a custom hood though I can't prove it. Because in that hood since FT I have had the kids work activity table disappear long before I ever installed mods or cc back then. It still happens in some lots in that hood. I also have weird stuff happen if I use it as a template. I was going to ask one day what the heck is wrong with that template but decided to use a different one for a custom hood a few months age. It's a weird hood to me.
