Yea, thats one thing I was thinking about. I doubt they'll give up birthdays, but maybe there won't be such a huge transition like in TS2. Maybe they'll have a bunch of lifestages like preteen, teen, older teen, where the differences won't be that noticable. Then it can be like real life, where not every person has a birthday party. Some sims birthdays might go by largely unnoticed while others are a big deal.
