I have had mostly the same experience as Darkshadow608. I went looking to find out of anyone dislikes the NS update as much as I do. It does not add to the game play at all. I thought there would be more spontaneity. But the sims just mindlessly adopt chidren and pets or have babies until their household is full in less you turn the figure off. Also why do they move out of their houses if they are not going to move into another house. If a sim were to move out of his home to move into his girlfriends home I would find that interesting. But they just move out of their homes to be homeless and take all of the furniture with them. Homeless sims rarely move into homes and they quit or retire more than than they change jobs. Also, there was a brief time before NS dropped when my unplayed households were forming relationships on their own. Some moved into other households, got married changed their last names and had babies. It was really exciting, but since NS it hasn't happened at all. It is rather disappointing. It was fun to create sims for a little while and see who connected on their own. I have played with their traits to see it that effective who chose to adopt/have child or pet and it did not make any difference. But I have never had an issue with accidental deaths. I do not use NS for my played households. For my unplayed household I turn off adopt pet, adopt child, move out and die in accident.
