What do YOU do with your platinum people?
Shivani:
I don't think those screens mean those things either. I mean, in a household of eight, I might have only one of the couples snuggled up in the load screen, but in the house itself, you can't stop everyone from serenading, hugging, making out, etc. Suckers are all over each other.
In any case, permaplat elders are good for several things in my opinion: they can watch the kids--I often set them to wake up at 3pm, and it generally works out that someone is always awake to feed the baby/toddler, teach, whatever. If they show no desire to retire, then I leave them working, unless...one of the adult parents needs a job to obtain a LTW, in which case, they retire instead.
Of course, LizzLove's waterbed is fantastic for letting them fulfill their whoohoo wants autonomously (so long as I use some kind of security to prevent mismatches in bed).

Oh, and I don't think the "v" sign over the spouse's head is a sign of infidelity...I've had newly-created CAS couples do that. It might have to do with playfulness?

That is my thought as well. Kids do that when having their pictures taken; giving someone "rabbit ears".
That's what I was saying above. Gali, where did you hear that it meant infidelity? Sounds like a sim urban legend, to me.
Kitiara:
I too find Perma Plat makes Sims less fun to play. I do try to keep them useful though. Once a Sim has maxed skills, maxed job, and is Perma Plat they basically become household staff. They cook, clean, garden, babysit kids (including encouraging personality traits and training them on skills) and basically do whatever else I can think of to keep everyone else in the house happy. When not busy I turn 'em loose and let them amuse themselves. They only problem with this is that now my non-plat Sims have so few distractions towards achieving their goals it has become even easier to make them perma-plat.
I guess too much efficiency is a bad thing?
phyllis_p:
I think the intention of the fingers in a V behind another Sim's head is the playful "bunny ears" thing, but I seemed to remember that it had an old connection to infidelity. Looked it up on Wikipedia, and guess what?
'"Bunny ears" - Curled index and middle fingers, palm away from the signer, usually used singularly. When used jocularly (behind someone's head in a photograph, for example), they can be straight as well as curled. In Italy, Spain and Portugal, raising the two fingers behind someone's head can sign "donkey ears" (a metaphor for stupidity) or the very offensive corna (the horns of a cuckold), suggesting the victim's partner has been unfaithful.'
