How exactly can you switch households, bork or no?
Salomon:
Then the whole open neighborhood concept is a big cakelie.
Doc Doofus:
Lie? Uh, I guess it depends on how much you read into it. Remember University? When the dormies went into their rooms and closed the door, we were supposed to imagine they were brushing their teeth, doing homework, whatever. But really, if you looked in Buy-mode, you could see they were just standing still for a few hours and then walking out with their motives refreshed.
's the same thing here. When you can't see Sim townies, they effectively don't exist. It's Sim-solipsism.
Tyyppi:
To be fair that's pretty much the only way they could do it. Simulating every sim in the neighborhood would most likely make your computer explode.
Death-Jester:
I don't know if this is related to changing households, but I expect it is:
I was playing a Sim, who had convinced a townie to dump her boyfriend and 'Go Steady' with him.
But then I tried making a new Sim and changing households, and I got talking with the same townie. When I asked if she was single she said she was in a relationship with the boyfriend I made her dump with the other Sim.
So it seems like relationships reset if you change houses. At least, they seem to if the girl/boyfriend has not moved into the household.
Just another nail in the coffin for this so-called open town.
GnatGoSplat:
BAH! Changing households also results in the loss of non-purchased inventory. For example, any of the crap your sim scavenged... seeds, produce, etc. Gone! Worse than that, if your sim bought a business, also gone! I had a sim who had completely bought out 4 businesses. When I went back to play her household, they were all gone. Not even sold. Very annoying. I had to motherlode her 4-times to give her back the value of her businesses.
I also noticed when you go to change households, a dialog pops up with 3 options, "Yes, Save", "Just Continue", and "Cancel". I had clicked "Yes, Save" every time, but I noticed you don't lose anything if you click "Just Continue". At least, not from simply switching households.
