I did not know you all were talking about the S4 forum - I thought Rflong was talking about the S4 site. I don't believe I have been in the S4 forum at all, or if I did - I don't recall doing so.
That is interesting about that house Tangie - I only played one EA family so far and just for about a Sims week - I don't even recall what household it was was - name wise - but they had a toddler and a boy and girl child age twins, and the mom was a sports player at the stadium connected to the school. They had a normal neighborhood house - nothing really stood out about it that made it in any way remarkable like the one you were in. My only interest in them was because of the school troubles that I figured were creating some lag as well. I just know the mom got fired for not winning any games I saw in a pop up and I expected her to come home after seeing that. When she didn't after a few sims hours I went looking for her and found her and a bunch of Sims standing outside the stadium in sports career clothing - apparently all fired from not winning games.
So I was more into that line of thought and the fact my sims kid in another household had just been punished for skipping school when he had not skipped school. So I went off on seeing what was going on and all that business and figured out the solution was to delete that school combo and put in a separate school and stadium. I have since been playing with my separate school set up and haven't encountered any further issues in IP in the way of lag and such.
I do know what family you speak of though Tangie - but I did not see what house they lived at. The first day I am in a new game I like to idle over every EA household and read about the household from neighborhood view, which isn't very good as far as seeing their actual houses. I have been more concentrating on playing my own sims since fixing the school - but have not really gotten anywhere signifigant with any one of the 4 households I have tried of my own sims - probably because I haven't really played any of them long enough. I also am guilty of running off and trying out all these different user made worlds - like the German one - and last night I was trying Docsprocks newest version of Riverdale - mainly just to see if I could find a reported number of stuck sims problems and of course couldn't find a one. I actually doubted they'd exist seeing it was reported that it was in relation with subways, and I HAVE ONLY SEEN npc SIMS USE SUBWAYS IN CITY DESIGNATED WORLDS and not in normal worlds. Like Bridgeport I had seen sims use the subways on their own the one week I played it - but in all other worlds only my sims used the things. Well it was the same way in Riverdale for me anyway - so I deduce the user was using mods of some kind to use the subways automatically and most likely it is something between the mod and the subways going wrong because they all worked without a single incident for me.
But yeah, I really have not played anywhere long enough since before IP to be real sure about anything.
DD that is interesting because in just about every world I go in the first thing I do is make sure I have set all doors and gates as locked and for my household only so I don't have any incidences with the full moon and zombies - and you are right I don't once recall seeing the door offering the decorations - but I sort of dismissed it seeing I have weather set to 28 days summer and only 3 days winter, with 7 for fall and 21 days for Spring in just about every world I have tried, so I suspected it was because I was not in the winter time and just figured that would show when the winter season started. I guess I just assumed decorating went with just winter. Now I am curious as I do seem to recall in just Seasons EP that was offered every time I clicked on a door - but then I believe it might have been because I immediately made it winter in most games just to see the effects. I just can't be sure. And you are right I love the decorated hood and that would stink if it is broke. So that will be my new focus to see if that is working I think.
