Hi! So for the long time I've been using veronavillequiltingbee's Personal Wants Tree mod and I've pondered "could I ever make a Wants Tree of my own - without breaking them?" I've never actually tried too much because I wasn't too much tech savvy to mess with that kind of files, but then I saw Riftwalker's Wants Trees and saw a commenter want to combine that mod with Fewer Hobby Wants, so I said "why not?" and got to work reading tutorials and the like. Gladly, I ended up with a Wants Tree that I loved and also learnt a thing or two in the process!
This Want Tree file includes the following:
Riftwalker's Wants Tree
Go Steady Want for Adults and Elders*
Fixed Break Up Want for Teens, Adults and Elders; both for Steady and Marriage
New Family Member Want for Teens and Children of All Aspirations
University related Wants enabled for All Aspirations
Engagement Want and Left at Altar Fear enabled for All Aspirations
*You need another mod to enable those interactions. Mine only enables the want.
Note: I disabled Teen Woohoo wants for the most part. I still have the file without that feature as a backup so I can upload it if requested. Uploaded.
Lamare's Wants Tree
University Career Wants Enabled
Careers now roll based on Interests rather than Aspirations (Adults Only)
You may want to get Lamare's getUniCareerWithoutEducation from the original post. Or not.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Backup your original WantTrees.package. This package is located at:
For the old-school version: EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Mansion and Garden Stuff\TSData\Res\Wants
For the new-school UC version: Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\Wants
2. Rename matti_WantTrees.package to just WantTrees.package.
3. Replace WantTrees.package in the game installation folder with the one you downloaded (not your Downloads folder).
KNOWN ISSUES
Engagement and Steady wants may roll at the same time.
Sims may roll Steady wants towards their spouses.
Teens may still get the 20 Woohoo LTW despite the wants being disabled. A workaround is to just reroll the LTW with a mod such as Sim Blender.
