I was going to mention the LTW hack. I have it and I think (if memory serves) I got a knowledge sim with a "x kids graduate college" LTW (it was my wifeSelfsim!). But don't quote me on that.
If you can fiddle with it in simPE then you can get what you want (though I agree, that's a lot of work and irritating). And for the idle animations, I'm sure there will be a hack that will either squash them all together or an animation box so you can make a sim do whatever one you want.
I get irritated when existing sims (pre adding a new expansion) get crapped on by the new features. It's not enough that everyone gets reset (so they're maxed out needs in the dead of night when you'd just got them on a sleep schedule) but then (like with NL) they have dumb ass attraction and you have to fiddle with every sim so they don't hate the spouse they've been married to for "years". Bah.
And if worse comes to worse, can't you just ignore hobbies all together with pre-existing sims? (really, I don't know, I would think you could)
