What do YOU do with your platinum people?

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 was under the impression that a sim's aspiration level as they transition to the next age tier was what determined how many days that tier lasts.

I have two perma plat uni grads, I've been cycling them through careers to earn the rewards, they get promotions easily because they are always in a perfect mood and they have good skills and the bonus for graduating Summa Cum Laude means they can get career rewards and good jobs very quickly. They are about to be elders though, no idea what I will do with them once I can't cycle them through jobs anymore.
Motoki:
I kind of let my permanent platinum people do whatever the heck they want and just leave them be for the most part as long as they aren't going around stirring up the shit (unless I want them to stir up the shit ;) ). Especially for the ones who are elders I figure they deserve it.
I have had some perma platinum immortals too. In my old neighborhood I had a zombie couple like that and my vampire in the one house I am playing now just reached her lifetime want. I kind view them as live in townies or npcs and make minimal effort to control them. Actually, since they don't have to worry about aging and dying or wants it's kind of like playing TS1.

Yes, I made a mistake there and it was brought to my attention in an earlier post.

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...:).
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.
When you open the family tumbnail, you have 4 possible relations showed:
1) One sim kisses the other - sign of great love
2) One sim puts a "v" with his hand over the head of the other sim - sign of a cheating and not-reliable sim.
3) A couple hugging, with hands around the waist - stabile and faithful relation of both
4) Two separated sims, no touching each other - that the worst, usually it showes in couples which are "tired" of each other, mostly elders.
In the first tumbnail Daniel makes the "v" with his hand over Mary-Sue's head.
In their last days as elders - Daniel kisses Mary-Sue.
The opposite I had with Brandy Broke and her new spouse: in the first tumbnail he kisses Brandi, and I got even the woohoo clip with each woohooing in the tub.
When they got elders, the tumbnail changed to "two separate sims", and I didn't get anymore the woohoo clip - it passed to Beau...:).
