you can now switch households via edit town.
I was sure that was always possible, just that you lost wishes, etc when you switched, while AM just made the process better. I have been playing with AM for so long maybe I have it mixed up.
I think it's meant to be a more direct form of switching now. Just click on a house, and there's an option to switch right there in the box that pops up or something. Still, inferior to anything AM offers.

I'm not much of a modder, but it doesn't seem to have a GameplayData.package, so I have no idea how to update my out of date mods to be compatible.
It is now linked to Base Game package.
Those files were always duplicates, but now they used they brain at last.
IAmTheRad:
The memories are too stupid. "I ate at a restaurant and it was good! Memory get! I then went to the park for the 6th time! Memory get! I then went to the library, and got ANOTHER memory!"
Seriously, EA fucked up on the memory system. It's too stupid to exist.
I haven't tried out children or teens yet. Nor elders. Just young adult and adult. Had a bachelor party with my Sim, and a dancer showed up. Had a wedding and got gifts.
For an expansion Generations is pretty light on content. It's less than 1GB of content (976MB installed), when LN was 2.46GB and WA was 3.47GB of content. The stuff packs are all around 275MB of content.
Can't wait until AwesomeMod comes out for this. Hopefully it will reduce the damn memory spam which is WORSE than the memories of Sims 2. Also a more sensible story progression where people don't stick around in the low jobs not getting anywhere. Seriously, my guy I've been testing it with is an evil sidekick for the criminal career, and his boss is a bagman. His wife was a gravedigger until he married her, and celebrities are popping up everywhere (but I did put in a backlot in a 40x40 lot) and random vampire Sims pop up. Mostly the elderly.

Is it just me, or is the frame limiter no longer working? Since it all links back to the base game, should I be running it from there? This game is really empty though, for the seconds I did play. It really doesn't feel like an expansion pack, there's no major feature.

I've seen a few people say that the FPS Limiter wasn't working anymore, so it's not just you.
I have the game now, but I won't be installing it until the patch mess is sorted out and AM is working for it. Plus, I had 2GB of my RAM die and the replacement won't be here until Tuesday, so I have to wait anyway. I'm sure the game could run with 6GB of RAM, but I don't think it would run as well.
