Lifetime happiness

Lifetime happiness are points rewarded to Sims by fulfilling promised wishes, and which make up one of the 3 in-game currencies in The Sims 3 alongside Simoleons and ancient coins.
Achieving lifetime happiness is a measure of a Sim's life in The Sims 3 and is memorialized by the size of their gravestone. Sims can accumulate lifetime happiness points which can be redeemed for lifetime rewards. In addition to fulfilling promised wishes, Sims can generate points periodically by keeping themselves happy. The higher the Sim's mood, the faster the lifetime happiness point is accumulated.
Patch 1.63 added an interactive loading screen feature to the game. During the loading screen, the player is presented a game screenshot and is told to find certain objects like a . The more objects the player can find, the more points they will earn. As the load finishes, or the player starts a new game and moves in a new family, all Sims in the household will earn lifetime happiness points which is distributed evenly from the points earned in the loading screen. This feature may reduce performance during loading time, so the players may disable it in the game options.
With Into the Future, the dream pod can be used to "Dream about a Happy Life"; which gives 10, 100, or 500 lifetime happiness points depending on the dream outcome.
With the testingcheatsenabled true cheat, holding down control and clicking on the blank area next to the amount of lifetime points the Sim currently has will generate more points (500 per click). The cheat must be turned on at the main menu.
When using "Intermediate" → "Lifetime Happiness" with NRaas Master Controller, it is shown that the game calculates lifetime happiness points with 2 decimals.
== Lifetime wish ==
A lifetime wish is the ultimate wish of each Sim which grants a large amount of lifetime happiness points when fulfilled. A Sim must choose a lifetime wish when growing up from teen to young adult, or when they are a child or teen and excel at a certain skill. The wish they choose must have something in common with the traits the Sim has (i.e. if the Sim has the Good trait then they most likely will not have the option of Master Thief for their lifetime wish unless customized).
==Currency conversion==
Through the purchase and sale of certain lifetime reward objects, it is possible to convert Lifetime Happiness to Simoleons (but not the other way around). Most efficient among all expansion packs' rewards, is the Climatron Control Unit, which can exchange 40,000 lifetime happiness for 48,000 Simoleons for an exchange rate of 1.20. Among base game items, the Teleportation pad exchanges LH 75,000 for §15,000 (Exchange rate of 0.20)
There are no ways to convert LH to or from ancient coins.
