Why do two sims not have lifetime wishes?

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

    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.


    I have no way to remove their wishes now

    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 tried. The lifetime wish section is missing for them
  • Oh, oops, didn’t know that. In that case you’ll indeed have to wait till they turn YA.

    ETA: what happens when you turn them into YA in CAS, change the LTW and then turn them into a teen again?

    I never thought of that! Going to try it.

    I'm playing a family where the teen already had a life time wish, no idea how he got it and I wanted to change it.

    @JoAnne65 I never thought of that either. It would be neat if it worked. Otherwise, there's always the old-fashioned (i.e. modless) solution, which is to cheat up the LTR points until a sim can buy another "Change Lifetime Wish" reward. To the OP: If you don't already know how to do this, you need to enable cheats at the Main Menu, before you load your save. Bring up the cheats console (crtl-shift-c) and enter "testingcheatsenabled true" without quotes. Once you load the save, you'll be able to crtl-click on a spot on the Lifetime Happiness tab of the user interface. The correct spot is between the treasure chest icon and the number of points; it might take a couple of tries to get it right.

    As far as removing an assigned LTW without replacing it with a new one though, I have no idea if that's even possible.
