What do YOU do with your platinum people?

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.
Actually Gali. I thought no. 2, where the Sim has that V sign behind his/her spouse' head, that that Sim was just Maxis way of showing their cheerful/playfulness. Not to indicate non reliability.
I also got another more fierce version of no. 4. The couple not only not touching each other, but both have their back turned AND glowering at each other over their shoulder. I get that each time after cheating.
And as for platinum people. If it is a Sim I really like. My favorite Sims, I don't really mind them having perm plat. True I don't have to keep their aspiration meters up but then I just find other things for them to do. Max up their skills, use them as a babysitters/tutors or concentrate on their social life. Or even get them another career to work on. One Sim for instance was an elder and widow and lived alone (all her kids had moved out to either College or to their own place).
That Sim had a childhood friend that lived next door to her and that household was packed with kids and grandkids and I just had her move in with her friend. She was never alone and was a wonderful babysitter. She was even able to help with teaching the toddler to walk and talk and potty train her and she died on that lot. I still miss her.

oh, making versions of yourselves in the game isn't that bad. It helps me conquer my fear over death.

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.
I've never made myself or my partners, but I made quite a few of my friends in TS1. In fact, I played the family of my real-life best friends for more than 230 days - I saw the 100 days Easter egg twice.
Haven't made any real people in TS2 because - and this will make you laugh - the Create-A-Sim has too many options! There are so many ways you can tweak the face that, for me, it makes it harder to create sims that look like real-life people. With TS1, I just went for eye colour, hair colour and hairstyle, and presence/absence of glasses, and then imagined the faces looking right. With TS2, I need the sims to look *perfect*, and I'm not capable of achieving that ;).

I made my brother and his girlfriend, and then had them get married and have kids (something my brother refuses to do) - but that was purely to mess with him. :D

The best way to conquer your fear of death is to actually try it. I've been killed 3 times already, so I can tell you it's really not that bad.
