Xtreme situations that definetely needs improving
witch:
Gali, you're such a sweetie I'm sure your sims are the happiest anywhere. :P
I have to make a confession though, just the last week or so I've been playing with a slow aspiration decay hack, I got so sick of all their stupid wants that didn't fit my storyline. I'll take it out at some point, but just now they have to make the next generation. So I guess I cheat too. :-[
J. M. Pescado:
I think that's what the LTW business is for, to get around the deluge of silly wants.
witch:
True, but these these sims have only just left college, none of them have achieved a LTW yet. The two sims on another lot who have managed to get their LTWs are great to play, I don't have to fulfil stupid wants, a big relief with romance sims especially.
linolino:
haha, ok.. you guys are all too funny. haha, Gali, yes, your sims must be the happiest sims ever. hehe.. :)
Jst to clear it up, i may have tortured that sims, but it was for scientific studies. I don't do that normaly. I was testing the vampire's death by sunlight and ressurectron objetc.
However in my case i do hate the easyness (is this a word? really, i don't know) that sims get in platinum level. i have a thread here called "raising the game's difficulty" where i was discussing how to make a hack to make the game more challenging. I'll get back to it later, because these lasts weeks im just too busy.

Just think of him as Dr. Mengele. He's not a sadist, he's just conducting medical experiments. ::)
I'd love a mod that makes the game more difficult myself. One of my problems with the expansions, both Uni and Nightlife, is that they make a terribly easy game even easier. Uni makes getting to the top of a career trivial, to the point where you can fairly easily max out several careers before your Sim becomes an elder and can't switch jobs any more. Nightlife makes maxing out a romantic relationship easy, so "20 Loves" is no longer a challenge to achieve before your Sim croaks of old age.
I hate Lifetime Wants, by the way, because permanent-platinum elminates all the low-level difficulty of day to day Sim life. No, it was never that hard, but Permanent Platinum feels like "Reward: Lose all your Want slots."
I'm generally not in favor of removing anything that makes the game more difficult, but I must say the whiny stuff is annoying. "You moron! Why are you complaining about being hungry when I just told you to go eat something!" It's the lack of responsiveness that's annoying. It's like a shooter which adds "challenge" through really bad controls. Still, I'll never install a "less whiny" mod, and I've never experienced the kind of whine-crisis LinoLino describes. It just never gets that far for me.
