I miss happiness.
In the past, a sim would gain happiness just being in a finely decorated room. You could literally see the points going up. It made accumulating rewards much more organic. At least, in my opinion. ...

I should have named this thread "We need more ways to earn satisfaction points." There seems to be a lot of confusion as to what I meant.
As the above poster said, whims are mostly dumb flash-in-the pants things and mostly ignored. Completing aspirations isn't that difficult either. However, I can't seem to get enough of them done to get all the rewards I want for the sims before they end up passing on.
Here are some suggestions:
1) If your sims cooks and Excellent meal, get some points for the accomplishment.
2) If a toddler uses the training potty before their needs go into the red, award some points.
3) If you level a skill, give some points.
4) If your sim gains "friend" status with another sim, award some points.
These are the kinds of things I think will help. It was never about whether a particular sim's mood was happy/sad or their needs were low.
