I have all expansion packs and was wondering how to make a want-retuning mod of my own. See, I want to make it so aspirations other than Knowledge will at least be okay with their occult status and the occult statuses of others that they know. For instance, I've made several young adults in a new custom hood, and most of them are now witches or warlocks - and none of them have the Knowledge aspiration. They haven't rolled any fears of becoming witches or wants to be cured, but I would like to make it so that other non-Knowledge sims will only rarely roll fears of becoming other creatures and wants for cures. Also, I'd like to make some aspirations roll wants to become other creatures, and maybe sometimes be a little ambivalent about it. In my mind, it would be appropriate for Pleasure and Popularity sims to frequently roll wants to become werewolves, vampires and even witches, because I mean, look at all the Twilight and Harry Potter fans we got in the real world. Family and Fortune sims would sometimes roll the wants but also roll fears, though they would be unlikely to roll cure wants, especially if they already have the witch token, because of the popularity of that classic show Bewitched, which was a great family comedy, and because business owners can perk up and dazzle more often if they can benefit from the thrones. Grilled Cheese sims would be rather indifferent - why worry about what your friend or relative is into, when you got more important things like grilled cheese?
But mostly, if becoming a witch was a good memory, why should it be so bad if someone you know became a witch as well? I'd like to be able to make a magical neighbourhood without having to make every sim have Knowledge as a primary or secondary aspiration.
