EA silence on family play and family play fans

I am the same type of player as you and tend to only play one family and it's many generations. I feel EA has stripped away some of the most important features relating to family game play. I hope they have not forgotten about us and hope that in the future (preferably some of it patched free) story progression, toddlers, family trees, portraits, cameras and video recorders where we can actually see them. My fingers are crossed for the first EP to be generations. It's defiantly needed.
