Yes, I like the sound of TS3. The traits sound much better than the current personality system and I prefer the seamless neighbourhood. I'm not really a micromanager and I would prefer that families, that I'm not playing, age themselves. Obviously it does depend on exactly how they've implemented these elements and they may have fucked that up.
The problem isn't so much that the families you're NOT playing age themselves, the problem is that the families you *ARE* playing age themselves so that you cannot play any OTHER families as well. Nobody would mind if it was just the families you DIDN'T play aging themselves, the problem is that you can thus only play one family. :P

I believe they said you can turn off aging for households. Which means you can more or less play several families without them aging themselves. Although with how the game is built one does wonder even if aging is off will townies marry or impregnate your sims screwing up their lives?

And this is why punctuation is so important, kids. Look at how this sentence might mean several different things depending on the simple comma:
1) Although with how the game is built, one does wonder even if aging is off, will townies marry or impregnate your sims, screwing up their lives?
In this example, one only wonders if aging is on, and even if it is off. One wonders: will townies marry, or would they rather impregnate your sims, thus screwing up your sims' lives.
2) Although, with how the game is built, one does wonder, even if aging is off will townies marry or impregnate your sims, screwing up their lives?
In this example, which is likely what is intended by the sentence, we see that the sentence now means that, given the manner in which the game is built, one wonders whether townies will marry or impregnate one's sims, even if aging is off, thus screwing up their lives.
...and finally (and my personal favourite):
3) Although, with how the game is built, one does wonder even if aging is off, will townies marry, or impregnate your sims screwing up their lives?
This sentence now means: Given the way the game is built, one wonders even if aging is off (presumeably if one ages, one does not wonder?) whether townies will marry (each other?), or will they simply impregnate your sims who are screwing up their lives anyway.
The simple comma. Learn it. Love it. Use it.

Grammar makes my brain explode. If I understand what you've written i believe it's #2 that i intended.
Why are you people so obsessed with grammar anyway? Is it a technique for killing trolls?
