What do YOU do with your platinum people?
gali:
Am I the only one that think that the platinum mood is good?
I use the JMP's nodiscriminationage, and my elder sims work till the day they die; then I resurrect them, and they continue their jobs, like the adults. Each time they reach a Life Time Want, I change their job, and get one according the new LTW.
And I like very much the elders couples to live alone; they are busy most of the time with wants about the spouse, host their kids, and are happy to be alone - yes, even Daniel...:).
I didn't divorse him from Mary-Sue. Mary-Sue fired Kayilyin (I can't stand that maid), and hired another maid. I made her sexy and attractive - even other sims wanted to flirt with her, and Daniel fell again in love with her, and never showed a want for Kayilyin, even with the love sign. They made another baby, and are very happy...:). At the last days of Daniel, the tumbnail on the neighbourhood screen showed for the first time Daniel kissing Mary-Sue, and the "cheating sign" dissapeared...:).
In a life that never ends, you can achieve a lot of LTWs...:).

about inge's shrub - it's the days left shrub...
I've actually got three shrubs of hers that I use - the teleporter plus, days left and stay things - couldn't be without them!
although, the inventory in nightlife makes stay things a little useless...
I don't mind the permanent platinum - permanent platinum grandparents are great to help raise babies so parents don't have to miss work - I just find that once they reach permenent platinum and are elders, I get bored with them very quickly...
I think it's the mood thing - not worrying too much about the wants is fine, but some compromise where the day-to-day wants don't matter, but you still need to worry about keeping them in a good mood would suit me better - although, I know that's probably impossible...

I like the permanent platinum myself. Even with that, I still find myself trying to meet my sim's wants. After all, why should they suffer just because they are platinum, right? Sometimes I go after a second LTW, depending on what it is, but usually, I'm just content that they're platinum. I don't like the constant fluctuations in the aspiration meter, especially if a fear accidentally pops up. At least with a permanent platinum, if a fear does roll up, you don't have to worry about them bottoming out.

Now I remember, thank you. Kids just went to bed, time to download another Inge Shrub! (for a mound of grey fatness, she's pretty handy)

I think what's missing is the next level of incentive....which is really the problem with career tracks, too, which are just too easy for a skillin', want playing Simmer to run up.
I'm hoping the business EP is structured so that it can't be conquered to Easy Street. Real life is about reaching to get the next thing, not actually getting there...in my warped story book (which is the Sims stories I like to make).

I've heard about this cheating sign before, what exactly is it? I think it was something along the lines of if the Sim is standing behind their partner, doing the thumbs-up, they're either being unfaithful or want to be? Anyone got a rundown on what the different screens are depicting? I didn't even realise they had any particular meaning until very recently.
