I was going to actually try it today as I have time to really play. Didn't want to use one of my saves as didn't want to take a choice of ruining them. Was going to start a new game and play with just a couple starting out, no use of high school until they had children and grew to teen. But after reading this, I am definitely going to wait until this mess if fixed. Can't believe how bad it all is! Hopefully they will be able to fix it. Have to admit, I am beginning to lose hope.
