THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds
Mr. Snooley:
I agree with rufio 100%, and ultimately that "feature" makes this game unplayable.
Ah well, only 1 more week until I can smack trashcans off the road from my own made Sims, instead of some ugly crackheads wich have adopted 6 Alien Toddler Larva's.
kazebird:
Whoever thought the moving 'feature' was a good idea was an absolute moron! Worst of all, even though minor code changes are possible, it looks like we may be stuck with this 'feature'.
Oh well...
If anyone needs me, I'll be playing TS2, making a new family. I'm thinking of him living in the forest with nothing but a fridge, two walls, a roof, and a garden plot.

I am curious to see if the male voice 1 grumble stays in the game on launch.
It is distinctly cussing right now. Won't that get some knickers in a twist.

I've now married off the three children of my founding couple, and said founding couple has bitten the dust. The guy died at 90, but the woman hung on until 98. I'm not sure if it was because she lived a good life, or if they were just giving her a little more time to meet her lifetime goal, which she finally did a couple of days before passing on.
I've been watching the homes of the three children -- Grant, Moira, and Angelica -- with interest.
Grant and wife Felicia stayed in the founding home. Felicia has no mother in her family tree, just a father and a brother. Since her marriage, her father has "acquired" another son, which was announced in the paper and verified in the family tree. However, in the paper it said "mother and child are sleeping well," as it always does.
When I moved Moira and Angelica into their husband's homes, I noticed a number of other people living there and was curious about who they might be. I used the "save as" option to save the neighborhood under a different name, and went into the saved copy to investigate -- did not want to lose progress with my primary family. Moira's husband had an unrelated young adult male living there, who apparently was only an acquaintance of her husband's. Angelica's husband had his father living there, plus another man with his teen son who were also mere acquaintances. This says to me that the game sticks random people into households rather than finding them their own places to live. Not sure why they'd do that -- maybe it's to help these other Sims make friends etc.
Anyway, after determining who these people were, I went back to my original neighborhood (and threw out the saved one) and used edit town to evict these barely-known people. When you do that, you get the option to merge them with another family, move them into their own place, or trash them. I've been watching Angelica's and Moira's houses since then. No spawn yet, and no strangers have moved in. Grant still has good relationships with his sisters, and Felicia gets the want to hang with her father sometimes. She has a relationship with her eldest brother, but not with the newborn over there.
Oh, also, I've been keeping an eye on Mortimer and Bella. They are both elders now and never married. Mortimer lives alone. Bella still lives with her brother, Michael. I would see Mortimer and Bella interacting playfully in town sometimes, but I guess if a player wants them married, they have to play that family or keep their fingers crossed. Just an interesting observation.

EA later commented the leak was a "buggy, pre-final" version. EA claims that more than half of the game is missing and is susceptible to crashes or worse.
Of course it is, EA made it.
Reading this thread, it sounds like the cracked out Sim City player's answer to "How many buttons can you have in one game?"

Is it okay to trash people in Sims 3, or would no one know yet?
