Sigh. I was already downloading Mosaic betas before these youngins were born -- and I'm only 28.
Darlin', there is no 28. You are 24.
FAQ describes it quite well.

Why are you people so obsessed with grammar anyway?
Not everyone can be born a lolcat. :(

When I read Parsimonious Kate's review about the "neighborhood aging" thing, the impression I got was that if you toggled the aging so that unplayed families didn't age, NO ONE aged, including the family you WERE playing. My understanding was that it would be more like TS1, where babies grew up, but then aging was frozen for them. Adults didn't become Elders, Teens didn't become Adults. For me, at least, the ideal situation would be one in which aging could be turned off on a house-by-house basis, so that the irritating premades could die alone and unloved, but Sims I cared about could just hang out as they were until I got around to them. Has anyone else gotten the all-or-none impression about aging?
Of all the things they could have given us, why'd they choose neighborhood aging and doughy Sims over something almost any player would get use out of--namely, a way to clone born-in-game Sims in CAS and package them to the website or to a file, so that we didn't require a third-party program like SimPE to share our pixel people.
Granted, my desire for TS3 was already low, but if this is the best people can do with respect to making their own SimSelves, I think I might actually have negative desire for the game now. My TS2 SimSelf might not be a carbon copy, but at least she's recognizable as me! Those two TS3 SimSelves would be hard to identify as being avatars of actual people. My first instinct was "albino rhesus macaque" and "Bodie from Locke & Key."

Yes yes I wandered off into the wilderness of reality for a moment.

I agree with the comment that this is looking to be the "SimCity Societies" of The Sims series. There's the same thought process behind it "Let's take everything everybody loves about the previous games and get rid of it, and then we can replace it with new half-assed crap! Everyone will buy it, because we're EA!"

Definitely. I just don't like this message of, "Out with the old, in with the new!" We are bombarded with this message constantly that we need to be forever trading up. I hate hearing all the fanboys/girls raving about how they've already deleted the Sims 2 off their hard drives because who needs it anymore, right? We can haz new toyz, throw outs the old onez!!eleventyone!!! Advertising like that just kind of irks me.
I guess it's a punishment for being so foolish. When they get the game they will realise it doesn't work/is slow/is crap/not as fun as The Sims 2, but when they go back to play they will have realised that they destroyed countless hours of work on the game. When The Sims 2 came out, many people couldn't get it to work very well on their computers and some, like me, kept playing the original game in the mean time. Kind of indicates the level of enjoyment one receives from a game when they erase all trace of it seconds after hearing of a sequel. Especially when they've done it for a clearly inferior sequel...
