Does anyone know how to "help 15 sims" on the Sims 2 for ps2?

Question

I'm not quite sure what it means.It tells me to finish the gold and platinum goals, wants, and needs...and yet I'm not quite sure which are gold and which are platinum? And once I think I've "helped a sim" by finishing a goal for them, but then I go to the "Progress" menu and it says I've helped no sims.
I'm SOO confused! Please help!!!
OKay this is the 2nd time posting.
Will someone PLEASE HELP!!!!

Answer 1

the other sims that you can control have many gold wants, not just one. you need to complete all of them. for example, the list below shows the wants of Isabella..


1 - Buy a Table.

2 - Buy 3 Chairs.

3 - Gain a Cooking Skill Point.

4 - Harvest Squid from Aquarium - Go to the fishtank and select the Get Fish option.

5 - Make a Sandwich - Use Direct Control mode and go to the fridge to get these ingredients: Beef, Onion, and Whole Wheat Flour. Now stand in front of the kitchen counter and select the Make Sandwich option.

6 - Become Friends with Patrizio - He's the baldish man.

7 - Buy Ingredient Source - The ingredient source items are located in the Miscellaneous Menu in Buy Mode. Buy another "Frood" Tree or Vegetable Garden - you can sell the item after the Want is fulfilled.

8 - Create a Group Meal - Directly Control Isabella again (press Z) then go to the fridge and select the 'et Group Meal Ingredients option. After choosing your ingredients, use the stove to cook a meal then select the Serve Meal option. Isabella should place the food on the kitchen counter. Keep her standing in the way of the food for now as you'll need a plate of it for her next Gold Want.

9 - Give Food to Patrizio - Still using Direct Control Mode, select the Grab a Plate option from the meal you served above. Then go up to Patrizio and select the Give Food To option to fulfill the Want.
