Playing entire neighborhood for first time - questions
So for the first time since TS3 came out, I am playing an entire neighborhood and doing it rotationally (THANK YOU @igazor!). I created 6 founding families and got them moved in to 6 cheap houses. I've got a few questions:
* I don't want my families to incorporate super naturals into the blood lines but it kind of seems like the neighborhood is filling up with them. If I turn off the supernatural beings in the settings, will it just slow down the population or will it mess things up since the neighborhood is already up and running?
* If people hang around outside when the zombies are out, can they get attacked and become zombies? It seems like an awful lot of the NPCs in the town are zombies. Last time my Sim went to the hospital, there were 6 zombies hanging around outside the door.
* As my families start to have increased income, they could move into more expensive houses. It seems like the houses are filling up with NPCs. Can I safely move NPC families out of the houses (evict) to free them up for my growing families? Does this mess with relationships?
* I will check this myself when I get started playing today but are there premade houses that come with the game that can be plopped down on empty lots? Like TS2 had?
* My second gen is just now being born but eventually they will be college age. I've never played University. In rotational play, does University just become another rotation meaning the families at home go into the Caste and the University becomes the active household? If so, can I move a group of kids to University so they go to school together?
* When I created my 6 founding families, I had specific careers in mind for them. One of my Sims was designed to be a criminal. After he got moved into a house and his spouse was getting to know him, she had the option to ask about his degree. I then noticed that my criminal had a degree in architecture or something. How did that happen? Is it a random thing?
* Does going to University and getting a degree give the Sim extra spiffs like TS2?
I am off work this week so sorry if I over load you guys with questions. Finally breaking down and installing Naass(sp?) has created a whole new game for me to play.
