One thing I'm wondering

It's not like if one sim moves in with another sim and you choose to control the new household you can still control the other family members in the old  household.
It should be like this...

• Game starts
• Choose household to play
• Neighborhood loads
• Play as any sim in the selected household and switch between them as in sims 1&2
• pause game zoom out a little and click on another playable house
• Message appears asking if you want to switch households, click yes
• Game unfreezes and you are in control of the other household with out loading
• No time was lost in switch
• other household goes into auto pilot
  

Very nice!

Sounds good.

Seems that it'll be hard to control too :-\

I'm sure that they'll work on keeping it pretty easy to control, though.. and of course, we'll adapt.

It didn take alot to adapt to sims 2, so it may be the same

I wouldn't like the ALL Families growing up together at once idea ;/
The families would die faster ;[

yep, i agree...and dont forget, they have already got rid of a lot of loading time, like walking round the neighborhood will all be without loading screens, making it seemless...i think most the game will be like this, with hopefully just the loading screen at the start of the game..

Hi!

I don't think that we have to control all the households at one time.
You can't do that! It is to much work. Then you really need cheats. I think that you will be able to switch between the households, well I really hope you can! ;D
