"Lifelong Happiness" - does it do anything?

[rufio]

Supposedly, learning Lifelong Happiness in AL causes the aspiration level to drop more slowly, however, I haven't actually noticed any difference.  Can anyone confirm or deny that learning this skill has any real effect?

Just goes to show how hacks that "reduce" the decay are totally unnoticeable in terms of their effect, yes.

It probably does something, it's just minor and worthless unless your sim rolls the want for it (which I've noticed that non-permaplat Knowledge elders seem to).

Darren Dreamer keeps rolling it in my game too, and he's nowhere near an elder yet. Maybe it's just a Knowledge Sim thing? (Sounds more like something Family Sims would go for but hey.)

It DOES something, but since it's not a huge modifier or absolute change, it's not noticeable to YOU.

Well, obviously, it would have to do something, otherwise it wouldn't exist.
It just doesn't seem like it does enough for it to be worthwhile, unless you desperately want/need to fill that want.

Have you been playing this game long?

[Orange Indigo]

Too long, I'd say.  Every "feature" seems to do something, although a good 60% of the time, it seems that something is very, very bad.
