You should be able to focus on one family at a time AND have universal aging, and there are ways to make that possible.
The stock game is pretty much made to FORCE you into this path, by mutilating every sim you're not controlling actively RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT, so you can never let go. There are even crazier schemes like "keystoning", but these are extremely counterintuitive and would confuse the living crap out of you.

Or, if you hate TS4-beta so much and think it should be like TS2, you could, you know, play TS2.
This is the single most annoying statement I've encountered on any sims forum. I see it over and over again. It drives me nuts. Here's another way of looking at it: TS4-beta has made vast improvements over every aspect of TS2, from CAS to careers to graphics to a lot of other things, but the problem is, despite all of this, I am unable to play TS4-beta in the way that I am accustomed to. I am looking through the store window at this new and improved version of TS2 that I really want to try out, but it's for display purposes only. Even so, I would be playing TS2 right now if I hadn't lost all my game data shortly after I installed TS4-beta. I had 21 weeks worth of neighborhood story, and I am not about to start all over again from scratch.

Wait, there's already a beta of TS4? Isn't it a bit early for that? You know, like three years early? And anyway, I agree that if you don't like TS3 or this so-called "beta," you should play TS2. They are different games, and they are both good in their own way. If you dislike one, there is nothing stopping you from playing the other. Take it from me- I'm a confirmed Sims 2 fan.

Cwurts is calling TS3 "TS4-beta", Jebbuschrist. It's passive-aggressive shit. There is no TS4 Beta available.
TS2 was a sea change from TS1. I'm sure there were some people who saw TS2 as a bad change when it first came out, and even some to this day who prefer TS1. The same thing is true with TS3. For me, yeah, there are a lot of things I miss from TS2, especially the tighter control I had over promotions and OFB features. When TS3 first came out, I played for a few weeks and decided that while it was prettier and I liked the new CASt abilities, my fully-EP'ed, hacked, and cc'ed TS2 was vastly superior. It wasn't until right when WA came out that I tried TS3 again. And now, with a couple EPs in and a powerful awesomemod and plenty of crunchy Build mode cc, those things about TS2 that I missed...I still miss them, but not enough to outweigh those things I like in TS3.
TS2 and TS3 are different games. If, for you, the scale tips on the TS2 side, play TS2. Nothing wrong about that. Nothing wrong with missing features of TS2 (or TS1). But expecting TS3 to give you everything you had in TS2 with a prettier bow around it, that's a bit unreasonable. And seriously, that and your judgmental criticism of people who play differently from you make me think you're just a Negative Nellie.

Cwuntz is the guy who tries to play every family in his TS3 neighborhood simultaneously while bitching about how difficult it is to do so. I think it's safe to assume he is insane.
