Yep, I played it several hours tonight and I have to say my sims did not do that. They both stayed in the taxi both going to town and coming back home. I wish they had, it was probably hilarious.
First the hood plays wonderfully. I filled a whole little group of houses with some born in game Sims of Tangies (HappySimmer3), which are all set up as roommates - 4 to a house, plus I added two of my testing Sims as roommates together, then 3 single sims in parts of the downtown map, and finally 3 of my tester sim families after i made sure everything seemed to be going smoothly, and I still did not get any lag or weirdness even suddenly moving in that many Sims - which was good.
I had planned on putting the small families and the 3 single households in the high rises, but I could not tell what was what, even though they show them as housing, and give an address, I have no clue any info about any of the apartments, so I just scattered them about in the houses on the downtown side. I did not know if you hadn't yet given those any descriptions, or it the game had erased them, as I have seen it do that more times than I can count. Also most other buildings you can see what they are by the little icon, but for some reason some of the buildings are just showing the park bench and when you click on it and you see the address. Could you please give me a clue - where is the grocery store? I looked all over and cannot seem to find it. Usually you see the shopping cart, but I can't spot it anywhere. Knowing me I'm just missing it. But other than that I didn't see anything strange or out of sorts.
Very nice job for sure. It makes downtown very tolerantable now - as like you I could not stand Bridgeport and the lack of family residental areas outside of town in LN. The few other towns I have tried so far either were so massive it took forever to get from the burbs to town, sims couldn't keep a job, but this is just perfect. A prime example of eating our cake and keeping it too.
How you did it with 3 little ones is beyond me, but I am glad you did. You must have really, REALLY hated Bridgeport. hehehe
Anyway, I really love it. Beautiful job, and I will defintely be a happy camper with the finished world. I think this is going to be my new favorite world of yours.
