Story Progression Toggle: Is it borked?
jonas:
I was willing to experiment with the Story Progression Mode until I heard about the "moving out feature"...
WTF! How did this ever get past anyone in EA without someone saying "oh that's a bad idea" or "maybe we should ask the fans"???
Like I want to spend hours creating a sim, their home, etc only for them to be deleted by the game when I switch families??? I'm absolutely furious about this aspect.
That in mind, I pray to the gods that are More Awesome Than Me to make a story progression mode that completely eliminates this feature - a "No one Leaves this Town Alive" mod. (except townies. Fuck townies.)
J. M. Pescado:
There is no longer a clear distinction between "townies" and "playable sims" in TS3. All sims now take up a house and live somewhere, unlike TS2's townies.
jonas:
You're right, of course. They..are all townies now... :(
I just don't get how they can take a game that makes many millions of dollars and decide "We'll just change the most intrinsic feature of the game and take control away from the players! Yeah, That's it!" "That will go over great!"
Everything should have been made optional in steps. There should be checkboxes for: Can your sims marry autonomously? Can they reproduce? Can they have relationships? (Move out should not have even been an option - that's the most ridiculous thing I've heard of) And of course, it all should have worked correctly.
I'm to the point where I wish they had just made another Sims2 expansion that allowed traits and CAST. CAST is badass.

Except for the ones that apparently live on empty unplayable lots.

For those who are playing the Razor version, does Story Progression seem to be working now? In the first week and a half in a new neighborhood, I had two births and one marriage. There have been several deaths, all but two from old age (the two were lightning and fire). After the first week and a half, though, no births. No moving out or in. This has been the case for two weeks.
