Very cool mod! One thing I'd be careful about is the "OnTick" method that is triggered by your repeating alarm. Right now it only checks the currently selected sim to see if he or she has fulfilled their LTW. This means that if a sim's LTW is fulfilled while they in the active household but not currently selected, or if the player selects another sim in the household before the alarm fires, then the select dialog will not show. What I'd do instead is a foreach that checks every sim in the active household, rather than just the currently selected sim.

Congrats on your first upload!

Thanks for the feedback. I actually had a foreach statement that checked every Sim in the household first, but I intentionally took it off because it was causing some problems. If two or more Sims had completed their respective Lifetime Wishes, two or more dialogs would appear at the same time. This would cause some weird behaviour and would make it a little crowded to select multiple wishes at once for multiple Sims, especially if you have a big fulfilled family. That's why I went with the one by one approach.

The alarm ticks every 15 seconds (15 game minutes), so if you have the fulfilled Sim selected for more than 15 seconds, the dialog will show. It feels more natural to me this way, and it is very unlikely that you miss the call multiple times in a row if you're just naturally playing the game.

Thank you so much! Ever since I completed my first sim's LTW I have felt a bit disappointed that you couldn't do something new.

This looks marvelous, but it refuses to download.

ETA: And now it does download. That was weird.

What exactly is the problem you're having downloading the mod? Try forcing a complete update on the site to see if it helps (Ctrl + Shift + R).

I came back after a couple of minutes and it downloaded just as normal. That was odd. When I tried to download at first it threw up a new, blank webpage which did nothing at all.

This is an absolutely lovely idea for a mod, the kind of mod that I've wanted since I first started playing this game, thank you for making it.

I've had to not use it for now, because.. for some.. incomprehensible reason it makes the game freeze when I select a cat sim. Dogs are fine, human sims are fine... but.. If I select a cat, the game freezes. I tried on two different saves, and as soon as I removed the mod the problem disappeared.

I have no idea why. I hope it's something that's fixable, or you could tell me if you have an idea as to why this could happen. Either way it's a great idea for a mod: Thank you very much
