Generations: What Sucks, What's Fucked, and What Did EA Get Right by Utter Luck

I believe Maxis became a subsidiary of EA and as such EA will still release games under the Maxis banner. Probably games they do not think will do well bear the Maxis logo so people think they are a different company.

Maxis still exists. The company no longer works on The Sims franchise, but their latest game, Darkspore, has their logo right on the front.
If you check the Electronic Arts website, you will see the links to Darkspore, which is released under the Maxis banner by EA. Maxis these days is just a branch of EA.

I've just come across the old age-resetting bug after one of my sims got a tattoo. Was this actually fixed by EA and is now back, or is it one of the many glitches that they never bothered with but which was fixed by AM (I've not tried out the test version yet, so am playing a vanilla game)?

Actually it's merely a brand.

I can confirm that the daycare profession is borked. My daycare provider had her grandson as one of her charges and as soon as he arrived, things started getting strange (maybe a coincidence) - sometimes he wouldn't show the status window, sometimes he couldn't be interacted with, and at the end of the day, nobody came to pick him up, so I resetsim him home. He came back the next day but still had no status, although the icons showing hunger, etc. would flash over his head. At the end of that day, no parents came to pick up their kids. I sent them all home with resetworld, which worked, but the next day, no kids arrived at daycare. The kids in that daycare seem to age at 2-3 times the normal rate, as well.
I've also had problems with the Grim Reaper - twice he showed up to take someone away, but the victim just stayed curled up as a ghost in the fetal position while multiple urns appeared and the message of death appeared over and over again.
Both of these situations have occurred with the June 7 build of AM, but I'm not sure where the bug originates.

Get your panties out of a bunch, you know what I meant. We all know EA is "The Man".
