Less focus on Milestones in Simology panel?
The milestones was the main reason why I was on the fence for the Grow Together Pack - they are cool for simmers focusing on family details, but I recall how the Memory feature eventually made my TS3 game unplayable with too many background details that I did not actually care much about. Milestones seems like a milder system, and I think adult milestones might be fine - it's the ton of infant milestones that I don't fancy a lot as I hardly play the infants. I though that when not playing them their milestones panel will not get filled with "first diaper changed" memories, but no - it turns out that my not played infants actually do collect milestones when I'm playing elsewhere.
I guess I can't prevent this to happen, but what I really wish is to either make sure that the Milestones tab is always closed when entering the Simology panel - or - even better - place the Milestone tab all the way down instead of being one of the first tabs. I understand that content from a new pack will often list first, but now that this GrT pack is no longer so new, and the tab is *massive*, I'd like to get it out of the way.
It's the same with "High school after school events", they seem to be the default organization tab because HSY brought the latest org. content, but this is quite annoying to a simmer who does not play a single HS student, but use the Club system from GT *a lot*. None of my sims are into those HS activities, while 50% of my 750 sims are members of one or more Clubs. I would prefer having that Clubs icon as my default icon, even if the club feature is no longer the newest. EA did in fact adjust this when I suggested making clubs default over University organizations, but at some timed it was reverted, or werewolves or HS features took over.
With so many different tabs - how about a way for us to decide the sorting order? Basically a smart game would know what tabs each of us use the more often, and the tabs could be sorted based on that. But adding a way to manually sort them would be very much appreciated ;)
Or - is there a Mod out there helping with this? The Milestones tab being the most annoying because it is so huge.
