Totally off-topic, but can you marry hobby intructors without cheats? When I first installed freetime I had Louis Aspir fall in love with the Cuisine instructor because they had great chemistry, but I was unable to ask her to move in or propose marriage. I havn't played the Aspir's since installing AL, so was this fixed? Otherwise, what sort of cheats or combinations of cheats are required? Make her selectable or add her to family with boolprop and then marry her? Now that I think about it, until AL we weren't even allowed to invite hobby instructors over to the playable sim's house.
As far as the Sims 3 goes, I thought it was pretty clear in the early promotional stuff that the whole neighbourhood would be growing, aging, and changing around whichever sims you were currently controlling. I can't seem to find much to back that up, but that's what I remember seeing/hearing. In fact, I have a pretty clear memory of one trailer saying you sim's neighbours would get jobs, get promoted, get married, and have kids all while you were playing your own sims. Anyone else remember that?
As far as sims aging before thier parents, I guess in some cases it sort of makes sense. The sims are supposed to live longer if they stay in platinum, but those that become depressed and never get anything they want will get old before their time. Real life is kinda like that sometimes too, since there are 50-60yr olds who look and act like 30 yr olds and are extrmemly healthy, while there are depressed, unhealthy 30yr olds who look more like 50yr olds and probly won't live very long because they are so unhealthy. Just something thought of while reading this thread.

I know lotsynctimer is supposed to help with this, but from what I understand, it goes by times. I need something that calculates ages, since turning aging off would make times irrelevant. I'm in the process of making a huge database of all my sims and their ages so that I can keep up with it better, because things have gotten real stale in my neighborhood lately.
LST goes by ages. If you turn aging off, the LST stops ticking until you turn it back on. If you are playing with Aging Off, the day timer does not advance automatically and is frozen just like sim aging.

Uh, as far as I can recall? I summoned her on TwoJeffs' Crystal Ball, most likely. (It's how I often find sim partners.) She seemed to marry in just fine fine, I've never used any engagement/marriage related cheats. I can't recall if I moved her in first, or if I moved in on marriage. It was pretty soon after installing FT (She married my CAS 'test' sim) so the details are a little ... forgotten. I do remember that she was a dance instructor, though I don't know if that makes a difference.

Hobby Mavens do not have any special sim templature, so it is entirely safe to move them in, they are not special in any way.

Hahaha. I guess now that I have AL and you can actually contact hobby instructors via the phone (!), Luis Aspir is hearing wedding bells. ;) See, until very recently, I had never installed a single hack and very rarely used any cheats, so when the game was throwing a brick wall up in my face (while on dates with her, he wasn't ever even allowed to "ask back to my place"), I got frustrated and gave up.
lol See, this is another reason I just can't get too excited about the Sims 3; I feel I've barely seen a fraction of what the Sims 2 has to offer!
