None of my sims have a lifetime want.

How do I give them one? I heard that they only get one after closing the game and opening it again, but I created them last night and played again today and they still don't have one.

Please do the Game_Help:Game_Problem FAQ. My sims always get their lifetime wants immediately; there is no requirement to close the game and open it again.

Do you have expansion packs installed? LTWs were first introduced with (I think) University, so if you only have the base game, there will be no LTWs.

Just playing Devil's Advocate, but -having- the EP and actually installing it are two different things. :) Although that isn't likely to be the issue unless they were playing it safe and Just playing the base game for a day or two before throwing new EPs into the mix.

I bow to your infinite wisdom. ;)

Heh, I noticed that. Then I noticed mine doesn't mention AL and M&G and decided it was still worth mentioning, just in case theirs was wrong too. ^^

Well, not ticking the box for a new EP you do have is a more common slip-up than somehow deliberately ticking a box for an EP you don't have :p .
