They’re teens and they have no lifetime wish, but their teen sister has one. I couldn’t see a way to add one either. I also can’t find the change lifetime wish reward either for their mom since hers is complete

Sims don't have to have a lifetime wish until the young adult stage. The one who doesn't have one will get one when he/she ages up, which you will be able to choose at that time if you are playing that household. The change lifetime wish reward can only be used when the original LTW has not been completed. There is no provision in the game for giving a sim a second LTW after already completing one. You can only do that with a mod.

Some teens will get a LTW offered as an opportunity, the player chooses if that will indeed become this sim’s LTW (like with every opportunity: yay or nay). For me this feels quite realistic. Some people grow up having a calling they indeed will stick to the rest of their life, but many of us just don’t know and need time (into adulthood) to decide what our purpose of life is.

Sometimes teenagers are influenced in their lifetime wishes by the places they go to. I had one teenager go on a class trip to the Theatre, and roll the LTW to become a Movie Composer, while another went to a game at the Stadium and rolled the LTW for Superstar Athlete.It doesn't always occur, but it sometimes happens.

You could also change their LTW going into CAS I suppose (through Mastercontroller or - if you don’t have mods - testingcheatsenabled true)? I remember playing a teen once who I gave a LTW. Then Pets came out with its new LTWes, and I changed it into one of them. So it must be possible (and I didn’t have mods back then).

I believe the mod is required to give a sim a new LTW when they have already realized their original one and the player wants them to begin on their next one. But @JoAnne65 is correct, any sim that can be brought into testingcheats CAS should be able to have their LTW changed without mods provided they haven't satisfied one yet. :)

Why do two sims not have lifetime wishes?

Been a while since I’ve played. I used the lifetime reward to give them s wish. Now I wish I hadn’t

You mean the teen who already has a lifetime wish? You can replace it with the LTR that changes them, but that's very expensive. Or better yet, you can use MasterController with MasterController Cheats installed to change the lifetime wish anytime you want without using points. I think you can use that on the mom too.

When those mods are installed, just click on your sim > nraas > master controller > intermediate > lifetime wish.

I gave the two who had no wishes, wishes using the reward. They're the ones I'd be interested in removing again

I tried. The lifetime wish section is missing for them

When you open CAS (using testingcheats or mastercontroller, so I don’t mean through the mirror), you can open the section where you can set their traits, their voice, their zodiac sign, their favourite colour etc, and also their LTW. You can just change it into another one when in there. It’s the button with the plumbob.
