Raising the game's difficulty level (read the 1st post and vote, pls)
Hook:
Here's evertything I know about the aspiration meter. Base numbers are from the Prima guide, calculations are courtesy of Excel spreadsheet. Unfortunately, I don't have any information on young adults.
------
The aspiration meter has 6 sections, and each section has a percentage of the total aspiration points.
Platinum: 35%
Gold: 25%
Top Green: 20%
Bottom Green: 10%
Top Red: 5%
Bottom Red: 5%
Each age of Sim has a different number of total aspiration points.
Toddler: 3000
Child: 6000
Teen: 9000
Adult: 12000
Elder: 15000
So a little arithmetic gives us the actual number of aspiration points for each age Sim:
TGrn = Top Green
BGrn = Bottom Green
TRed = Top Red
BRed = Bottom Red
Age ------ Plat -- Gold -- TGrn -- BGrn -- TRed -- BRed
Toddler -- 1050 --- 750 --- 600 --- 300 --- 150 --- 150
Child ---- 2100 -- 1500 -- 1200 --- 600 --- 300 --- 300
Teen ----- 3150 -- 2250 -- 1800 --- 900 --- 450 --- 450
Adult ---- 4200 -- 3000 -- 2400 -- 1200 --- 600 --- 600
Elder ---- 5250 -- 3750 -- 3000 -- 1500 --- 750 --- 750
Aspiration decays at a different rate for each section of the aspiration meter. Here are the number of hours for a segment of the meter to decay from top to bottom:
Platinum: 8 hours
Gold: 16 hours
Top Green: 32 hours
Bottom Green: 32 hours
Top Red: 32 hours
Bottom Red: No decay, you have to experience a fear to get here
A little arithmetic gives us the aspiration decay per hour.
Age ------ Plat -- Gold -- TGrn -- BGrn -- TRed
Toddler --- 131 ---- 47 ---- 19 ----- 9 ----- 5
Child ----- 263 ---- 94 ---- 38 ---- 19 ----- 9
Teen ------ 394 --- 141 ---- 56 ---- 28 ---- 14
Adult ----- 525 --- 188 ---- 75 ---- 38 ---- 19
Elder ----- 656 --- 234 ---- 94 ---- 47 ---- 23
And finally, assuming your Sim sleeps 6 hours a day, here's the number of aspiration points you'll need per day (18 hours, they don't decay during sleep) to keep a Sim in a specific aspiration.
Age ------ Plat -- Gold -- TGrn -- BGrn -- TRed
Toddler -- 2363 --- 844 --- 338 --- 169 ---- 84
Child ---- 4725 -- 1688 --- 675 --- 338 --- 169
Teen ----- 7088 -- 2531 -- 1013 --- 506 --- 253
Adult ---- 9450 -- 3375 -- 1350 --- 675 --- 338
Elder --- 11813 -- 4219 -- 1688 --- 844 --- 422
Hope someone finds this useful.

WOOOOWWWWW HOOK!!! THATS AWESOME! More awesome than any other post! Thank you!!! cooooolll
wow, really? platinum mood only 35% ??? no no no i must find a way to Mod this and turn it to 60%!!!!
THXx! various benes for you! (há!)
laracon:
The aspiration levels can be increased - though not through a mod - only by changing the game files themselves. So I backed off the idea.

But then you do have a clue on how can we modify that? please please share! what files are these you are talking about? what else can you tell me?

The above is a hack to do the opposite of what you want. Considering that it's just a group of BCONs, it shouldn't be too tough to tweak the way you want.
