The game also drops down to three sometimes when I choose four, even though I usually choose this when my Sims are at work or sleeping.
This is intended behavior. I don't think speed 4 is even faster then 3. It just goes on until sim finishes his current task, then it automatically goes on 1 (or maybe the previous speed). It helps if you don't want to watch sim sleep or task closely, but don't want to miss something later.
It's not faster than 3, in fact it's not a new speed at all. If you read the tutorial lessons (feel free to P&L) it says that the Fast Forward option (i.e. 4) just sets the time to 3 until the current action is completed, then reverts back to normal speed again. It's just a convenience feature to skip through boring but lengthy actions. Hardly a ground breaking feature, but comes in handy.

Just look at the reviews in the game magazines - they'll usually feature a comment like "I don't play it myself, but my mother / sister / gf does".
Just on that, I am so sick of reviewers and their multiple disclaimers of "not that me and my gonads would ever actually choose to play the sims". I mean, how fucking insecure - just review the damn thing and stfu about your Y chromosome, or give the job to someone who does choose to play the game.
On mods, well ... for me that's the dealbreaker. I lost interest in the EAxis vision and borkiness around OFB. Discovering awesomeware brought me back into the fold and sustained me through the rest of the EPs. I can't see myself getting very far with TS3 without it. I had sort of suspected that TS3 might make third party CC and mods more problematic, what with the ghey store concept and all. Screw EA. If I win the lottery I'll commission my own sims game ... with blackjack, and hookers.

Can they actually take any legal action against him for distributing mods? But yeah, like she said, I totally understand if you don't think it's worth it.
They could try, but I intentionally cultivate non-existence on the Internet, precisely to avoid this sort of nonsense. I am not kidding when I tell you that I kill anyone who makes an attempt to find me. If you think you see me on the street, you're probably wrong, but don't make any sudden moves and do not under any circumstances act like you might know me. Or you die. No witnesses.

With that "we're locking this down so you can't mod it, nyah nyah" attitude it sounds like they really wanted to turn this into a game instead of a toy.
I think another thing they got annoyed by was the sheeps distributing hacks in uploads and unsuspecting sheep getting them then a new EP came out and "OMFG BUGZ WILL GIVE BENES 4 FIX!!" flooded the boards because they 1) Didn't know they had them or 2) Were too stupid to update them. They probably wasted a lot of time sorting through tons of bug reports only to have 50% of them be the result of a hack.

I guess their dumb packager/installer program shouldn't have done than then.
