'''Perma-Platinum''' is the state of nirvana that a [[Sim]] achieves when they fulfill a [[lifetime want]]. There are many lifetime wants, but however it is achieved, perma-platinum is a desirable state indeed. Once a Sim achieves it, their [[aspiration bar]] will remain maxed out until they [[Death|die]]. If a Sim achieves it before becoming an [[elder]], the aspiration bar will rise to the new maximum at the top of the next hour. Even if the Sim fulfills a major [[Wants and Fears|fear]], their aspiration bar will dip, then return to maximum at the top of the next hour. This makes it easy for the Sim to maintain high [[Job performance#The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories|job performance]], as [[mood]] is always treated as being maxed out. It also means that the Sim will always be able to use [[aspiration rewards]] without risk of failure. |

This was reportedly changed with the introduction of ''[[FreeTime]]'' and [[Aspiration bar#Lifetime Aspiration|Lifetime Aspiration]]. Reportedly, a Sim who fulfills a Lifetime want in ''FreeTime'' achieves maxed-out platinum mood that decays very slowly. In practice, many Lifetime Wants, even those for [[Career tracks#FreeTime careers|''FreeTime'' careers]] still refer to the Sim receiving perma-platinum, and it appears that fulfilling Lifetime Wants still grants it, though there may be individual exceptions. |

''FreeTime'' did introduce two new ways of achieving perma-platinium. One is to max out the Lifetime Aspiration bar. The other is to use a [[Genie#The Sims 2|Genie]] to make the wish "Give Me Peace of Mind". If successful, the Sim receives Perma-Platinum instantly, but this may not be reflected in the aspiration bar until the top of the next hour. If the wish fails, it takes about one game hour to take effect. |
