What do YOU do with your platinum people?
Witches:
My daughter freaked when a made-up mom caught fire and died. I had just bought the game and had no idea that might happen. Hadn't even found the smoke detector yet. Now whenever she hears the fire alarm she runs out of the room.
And that's a sim that wasn't based on anyone we know ... I can only imagine what seeing ME fry up would do to her.
So I try to keep it all firmly in the land of make-believe. ;)

i've created sims of myself and my boyfriend as couples in the game. They're only 6 hrs of real time off to meeting dear Grimmy...kinda weird watching and waiting for yourselves to die
Oh my, no, that wouldn't do. I don't have any of my family or friends in the game and It hink I'll keep it that way. :o
Daniel Pleasant went to his hula girl reward in the sky this weekend. :'( After my first one, the second one was easier.
Kaylynn held a tasteful family funeral, with a catered buffet. Penelope, her daughter with Daniel, came home from University. Angela & Lilith came, having become fast friends with Kaylynn over the years. Mary Sue, a total bitch in my game, declined with "Count Me Out!"
I thought it was nice of Kaylynn to make the gesture, don't you?
There was lots of mourning. Angela and Lilth behaved themselves, no cat fights, having gotten more Pleasant to each other over the years. (Used to not be able to have them in a room uncontrolled without hair flying everywhere.)
The insurance money does help in a time of grief. Kaylynn got 18K, which she really needed...Penelope got 9K at University which enabled her to move into off campus housing with Beau (Broke) March. Angela got another tidy sum. Lillith got nothing, but she doesn't need to know that as she still lives with Angela and it went into their joint checking account. Family secret, shhhhhhhh
The Circle of Life. Maybe I can do this.

I'm still waiting for Simone Le Gassey to die, but I'm definitely going to be sad, as is the rest of her family - they all have fears of her dying! They all know it's coming and it's not like she's bedridden or anything! The ol' life bar is looking mighty slim, maybe a day or two left. Kennedy Cox-Le Gassey's going to be heartbroken, he's only in the green aspiration and all his wants revolve around.... grrr ... buying pool tables and bowling alleys! (Although he seems to like the look of his daughter-in-law Brandi Letourneau-Le Gassey, who swoons over anything in pants. I'm going to have to watch them.)
The sim version of myself and the boyfriend are currently in college, having just gotten engaged (which is a bit more serious than where our 'real' relationship is up to - my parents are meeting his parents tonight! Aaah!). I do get a bit worried about a couple of the dormies though, who just wander into the room 'we' share and stare at my boy in that creepy stalker way they have.

I read an article somewhere in the mists of simtime, apparently most people create their own family when first playing the sims game. I'm pretty sure this article was about sims 1, but I can't imagine it being different in sims 2.
The first family I made in sims 1 was my own, I played them almost exclusively for the first while, had a couple of attempts to make myself subsequent to that, but don't usually make people I know at all in sims2. I do get inspiration for CAS sims from the students at work though. ;)

I lucked out with Daniel. Kaylynn often had a fear of him dying, but the day before he was supposed to die, she spun 3 unrelated fears...so I didn't let her go back to sleep. She had off from work, no sleep, drank lots of coffee, and she didn't have a chance to reroll the fears and have his death come up on the appointed day.

Isn't that interesting. Never had the least urge to do so in either game.
My Avatar is of a Sim who looks like me (or me at age 30 and 30 pounds ago), but she's not me in name or personality.
I'm always fascinated by the different choices people make in an open ended game like the Sims!
