The thing that scares me about this is that even though I'm like you and I'm okay with focusing just on one household, even switching over to another household (to check in on new developments) for just a few Sim hours, even less, could result in me returning to my main household to see that they've moved out, died, adopted 60 ugly babies, etc. I do not want this.

Yeah this is one thing that is going to piss me off... In TS2, I liked to create a few households with 8 sims, that I had edited in SimPE to give them jobs and skills and what not, and then use them to become friends with that isnt just some random EAxis Sim, the thought of doing this and then finding out that they have died with out WooHoo-ing something leave me laying on the ground in the fetus position.
Why would EA allow such to happen, Yeah I can see them doing standard things, like viisting parks, skilling up a little. But NOT spending money, getting useless jobs, or DYING!! or having/adopting babies! (this I would like to see a package to disable certain Story Abilities)

Bad
  - I really hate the neighborhood screen and the way that you have to go to certain places to be able to do things there.  For instance, you can get a part time job at the cemetary, but on the neighborhood screen, if you filter by jobs, the cemetary doesn't have an icon.  WTF?  Also, I need a cheatsheet of what you can do at each location.  I can't remember where to go for a cooking class, so I spend 15 minutes clicking every little frickin icon...grr.  Same thing with trying to figure out where your sims live.  They need a text/list based way to do what you can do from the neighborhood screen.

Isn't the home lot icon in green?  That was the one place I had least trouble with.  Also, you can send the sim home by pressing that little arrow next to their icon.  Didn't know about the cemetary - thanks.  Now I can make a creepy gravedigger sim.

It's not my home lot I'm having problems finding, it's the home lots of sims I've kicked out.  You have to click on each occupied home to see a picture of the occupants, or go to the "split household" screen to see the names.  This is a total pain in the ass when you are looking for someone.

All of my sims are accounted for or have died of old age (although I can't find the headstone for one that died while I was away).

Also - there's something up with one of my sims refusing to die. I'm playing on normal speed (life is 90 days) and some ugly husband is now 104.  I want him TO DIE ALREADY!


In my game Mortimer Goth died in my face and he didn't leave a headstone.  Bummer because I wanted to put it beside his guitar in the Goth backyard.  I'm not sure if that is a feature or bug though.


In your face? That...must have been a strange feeling.


That reminds me of this shirt: http://tinyurl.com/5ty5s8

Figure this is the best place to post this.. more just to get it off my chest then anything.
Ive been looking down the side at users avatars and seeing alot of TS2 Sim related ones, and how good they look compared to TS3, they really didnt put much effoct into making it better off the bat did they? *Waits for custom skins etc to make it oh-so-much better!*
