Sim's no longer in Perma-Plat!!
ZephyrZodiac:
Well the main compensation, I think, is that the game loads more quickly, especially when going to community lots or downtown.
I just tried the toggling LTW bit with the Oldies and after about half-a-sim-hour, they suddenly went into perma-plat - I think before I've tried it, then switched to another sim, so I think if you want it to work you may have to stay with that sim until it happens.
I don't dislike the Burbs, some installations they work fine, others she gets so bogged down in Buy a counter costing at least 900 simoleons that I lose patience with her! How many top-of-the range counters do you need in your kitchen and bathrooms?
Ancient Sim:
This is happening in my game, too. I moved a family where both elders were perma-plat to a new house and they reset to default green, as did their teenage son who'd been gold or platinum when they moved. I shoved both elders up to top whack via boolProp, but as the day progressed they started to drop down. I had one or two others who lost it and eventually settled back into perma-plat, but I can't remember if they'd moved house or not.
As for the no Lifetime Want when transitioning to teen, I read today that once they satisfy their first want, they get their Lifetime Want.
Marvelleaux:
In addition to loosing his Platinum Aspiration status my sim lost his only friendship credit as well.
I moved out Husband sim and into a larger house and noticed that although his relationship score with his wife remained the same his influence meter dropped and the number of friends shown in the career field showed Zero.
Very annoying.

I enjoy money sims from time to time but for me they get pretty dull with all those wants. If I can steer them in the right direction they're much more fun. One a while back kept wanting to buy counters and I was thinking, 'Honey, there's just no more room in that kitchen!' And this kitchen wasn't exactly small. ;)

I don't want to derail this thread too horribly. I think I am going to take the plunge and install NL this weekend. Need to know if there are compensations that have to be made if I start moving families around. (I'm lazy and am letting everybody else test the game out for me!!)
I think you'll find if you can get past the darned frustrations it can be really enjoyable. I was extremely happy when I found out they actually fixed the clothing problem that was introduced with the original patch--the one where all sims were age transitioned in the same clothes and they didn't actually own any of those clothes. I had something like six teenage girls walking around the neighborhood in that short little beige skirt and blue halter top because their parents were just getting to where they could afford to buy a couple articles of clothing.
ZephyrZodiac:
Me too - and before I had the clothing tool I had to waste time taking them all down to the shops to buy something reasonable! I'm glad, also that some of the more way out teenage/YA clothing is still available for adults, so you can at least keep a sim with a particular style looking the same - but if there is a Maxis version of the teenage outfit, why on earth can't they just transition to that?
