Do you Give or Buy Gifts for your Sims?
Maybe this is just something I do. When it comes close to birthday time in my game, I always install or choose the Sim a gift. The gift is something I want them to have and may be a decorative ite...

@Turjan - Both concepts are talked about. My original line of thought is do 'you' as the player choose and give items/objects to your Sims. This is a Simmer to Sim action, different from buying them new things when needed or desired. The gift can be given on a special occasion or just because. I used their birthday as an example because that's generally when I begin looking through all the stuff I have for this game to find a gift for them. (Or, I fire up TSRW, TS3 Pattern Maker & Image software to make special clothing for them).
For example, my Sim's son has a birthday coming up soon-ish (39 days). He will transition form child to teen. His mother will gift him a car, a new bookcase (that he wants) and the last three books in the fishing series. His step-dad is giving him a TV set (upgraded to unbreakable) and I am giving him a desktop PC, along with a brand new desk and chair set-up.
While he won't actually 'know' the PC, desk and chair are from me, I will know. All he should be aware of is that his room has received an upgrade in environment and comfort on his birthday.
@Mikezumi - Yep :D!
