THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds
Acid_fairy:
Moving a sim out of a house and trying to merge them with another household does not bloody work. They get placed in the 'clipboard' area; after attempting to merge this sim into another household numerous times, I gave up and clicked 'Return To Game'. The sim I was trying to move in has effectively been deleted from the game now; none of my sims have any relationships with him any more and he is nowhere to be found. Yippee.

Does anyone know where I can see more Screenshots from players? :)
Perhaps a photobucket album or a livejournal?
I'd really like to see more. :)
Loving all the information! Thanks guys!

Another album, about 27 pics.
Not sure if you've already checked this one out, Zazazu posted it a few pages back.

This post is going to be about the tiered method of socialization with other sims and how the interactions show up accordingly. If you know about this already, feel free to skip the post.
If however you have been wondering why you can't propose steady relationship/woohoo/ask someone to move in at certain times, this MAY help. Or if you already know how this works and still can't find the stuff, then something is probably bugged/implemented crappily. Go EA!
Basically, each method of chatting seems to have different tiers, with more interactions available with each successive tier. In the upper left it says what the person is currently thinking of the conversation. Friendly chatting starts with them "thinking [sim name] is okay." Next after that is thinking you are sociable and thinking you are friendly (can't remember which comes first).
Flirting starts with "[sim name] is flirty", then followed by "is very alluring", and finally, "is extremely irresistible". From what I've seen, going steady only shows up with that very last stage, and I'm assuming marriage is the same. And you get to the next stage by doing the interactions in that grouping till it gets up there. Yes this means you usually can't just walk up to someone and do the woohoo interaction for example (unless you have specific traits blah blah blah).
Hopefully this helps some people, and if stuff still isn't appearing when you think it should be, then I have no clue yet. I still haven't tried to get people married yet, so I don't exactly know where that is. I know I've seen "ask to move in" in the friendly section, and it is probably at one of the higher tiers of friendly chat.
Edit: The interactions not appearing till higher tiers seems to apply at ALL times. Even if you have a sim as a romantic interest and with a very high relationship, it doesn't look like you can walk right up to them and make out/woohoo out of the blue. You have to go through each tier yada yada until you get to the right one and the interactions show up.

I remember something from one of the lessons that any sim/household that is still on the clipboard will be discarded if you don't put them into a house. Which is kind of sucky, IMO. It sounds like that happened with your sim.
But with a marriage-related move, I was quite surprised at how well it worked. I wanted my test sim to move into her husband's house, which was larger and better furnished. After they did the little private ceremony, there was a dialog box. I moved both sims to his side of the panel, then renamed the household to her name. I also got to decide if I wanted to pack her belongings, or sell them. There was no loss of wishes or opportunities - the sims walked together over to his house, and she had a little negative 'moving day' moodlet for a few hours.
