What do YOU do with your platinum people?
windy_moon:
I recently installed Uni and have my first permenantly platinium person. He didn't actually achieve a LTW, he just sort of stuck platinum while I was using the lot debugger to re-roll some lame ass LTWs for him. I figure, cool, let's see what playing a permenant platinum Sim is like.
::) 'kay, this is kind of boring. I like playing the daily wants and keeping my Sims as happily happy as they can be, no matter how much work. This Sim happens to be Daniel Pleasant, married to Kaylynn with one teenager, retired and cash strapped. 62 days old.
Up until now, Daniel was a challenge...Romance Sim, challenge keeping him happy without straying, you know?
Now he's bored and I'm waiting for him to die. No elixir for you!
We fired the maid and he cleans all day. He cooks. He just built a little garden and now he gardens. (Thank you Macrotastics!) For god's sake, he's old and he putters!
For Daniel, this is what he deserves, honestly, I'm okay with that. But I have Sims I really care about who are young and vital and close to LTW status. Reaching for the LTWs is fun but....
Is this all there is? What do you do next?
P.S. How close to 62 is dying, in Sim general? * tapping foot, hiding elixir *

I suppose the good thing to having your Sim in permanent platinum is that you don't have the constant hassle of fulfilling wants for them, which in a big sim family can be more stressful than relaxing while playing the game imo.
So then rather than having to fulfill wants, you can in theory let 'em run wild and free....doing whatever their little simmy hearts desires.
It's a bit like working all of your life, then having enough money to go nuts with :)
As for a sim of age 62?
The bad news is I had a Sim reach 89 days old if I recall. Hopwever I did keep him quite fit and active until he died. I heard somewhere that if an elder sim becomes unfit and doesn't do much i.e: participate in living in general, than I think they may shuffle off their mortal coil a bit younger than expected.

I have not found any evidence to substantiate this claim.

I dunno. Morty Goth was about 65 days old when he carked it, but my Danny Pleasant is about 70 days old and only half way through elderhood. Not permaplat though, so I'm having to keep him happy with plenty grandchildren from Angela & Dustin and Lilith & Dirk. He and Mary-Sue reconciled and he seems determined to be a good husband this time round. He does like talking to his four boys from Kaylynn though. And he just keeps spinning up the grandchildren wants. He's got three so far.
Simone Le Gassey, my first legacy founder, is a few days off of dying (she's about 75 I think) and permaplat. She's just retired so she can babysit the spare grandkid Basil (the heir Ben is away at college). I've been holding off playing the Le Gasseys much lately because I don't want her to die! She's possibly my favourite sim!

What evidence J.M?
That if they're unfit and lazy that they die younger?
Or that it's just pot luck at what age a sim reaches before he dies?
