How do you get Platinum / Gold wants? I've never played the sims before but I thought that it looked fun so I bought the sims 2 for gamecube. I've been playing for 2 weeks and I can't seem to get any lots open. I've been fulfilling their wants but nothing is happening! Can anyone help? It said something about fulfilling platinum wants but how to you know when they are platinum?
How do you get Gold wants? On freeplay mode on the sims, how many wants do you have to fulfill before you get a gold one? I can't seem to get anyone to help and I can't find the answer anywhere else
What do you mean by freeplay mode? Free will? The only difference freewill makes is it lets your sims, well, have free will and form their own actions to do. It doesn't affect your sim's wants or aspiration. There isn't a specific number of wants that you have to fulfill for your sim to get gold aspiration, it depends on how many points you get from fulfilling each want. Why don't you just play the game more and all your questions will be answered!
freeplay mode Freeplay mode is on consoles only and that is what this section is - its not for PC players - so whoever wrote the post before me, in console games there are two different game plays- there is freemode and storymode in storymode you have to complete different tasks in freemode you can do what you want. In relation to the original question- at the start of the game you can choose what sort of aspiration you wish to have you can choose love, popularity etc... so when you play the game you will get aspiration points for fullfilling wants that are relevant to the aspiration you choose. When you start to play the game there is a menu that you can bring up.. i dont know how you would do that because i only have the xbox version.. but you can use buttons on the controller to bring them up... basically the gold wants are the wants that will give you the most points these points will automatically unlock locked objects. The wants are listed with the gold being first (being worth the most aspiration points) and then followed by the other wants. I hope that answers your question if you have any problems with this just write back and i would be happy to help.
free play Sorry additional information, there is only plantinum and gold wants in the story mode - in the free mode there are just normal wants and they are worth certain amounts of aspiration points. These points will unlock locked items. Sorry about that i got my info mixed up.
opening locations To open locations you need to fulfill wants - specifically with opening locations you need to fulfill plantinum wants - a plantinum want will come up when you have fulfilled a certain amount of gold wants (It varies on the location on how many gold wants you need to fulfill to be able to get a plantinum). You can get a list of wants/aspirations on the main menu (press start). Hope this helps.
