What do YOU do with your platinum people?

i've just noticed that i haven't even answer the question of this post *ashamed*
nowadays i let them roam about, watch their antics and laugh and poke at them. if there are babies in the house they are the 24-7 nannies. other times they are tutors. sometimes it's boring, sometimes it's fun.

I've maxxed out people on skills and I've never used Merola's painting. It just takes time, and patience. It helps if they don't have kids.
The previous poster was talking about maxing out interests, not skills. Maxing out skills is easy once you know how to do it. All of my sim kids are maxed out on skills before going to college. Only the townies I have sent to college aren't, and if they work at it, they will be maxed out before they graduate. The Skillinator helps here because you can set them skilling and forget about them and concentrate on your other sims. But I have never tried maxing out interests. I didn't know if it was possible, but I don't really pay attention to interests anyway.
Oh. My bad. Sorry. I don't pay much attention to interests, either ... though now that you can ask a sim their interests I'm thinking if you bone up on something your dream sim likes, maybe conversations would go better ... gonna check it out.

I'm trying to get everyone to share their interests. will that increase their interests in various topics?
cwykes:
There's a storage limit on interests. You're good sharing interests until you hit that. Once the game notices you are over the limit, it randomly chops things off other subjects until you are back within the limit. So sharing interests or reading magazines can actually cause your sim to lose interest points! Most people don't bother with share interests or magazines because of these random losses. Otherwise share interests would be a really good interraction. - better than gossip which spreads corrupt and other memories around the place! There's a thread here about efficient personalities which covered interests too. Did you knwo interests change as sims age and you gain points at age transitions?
