@stacylynn79 I don't believe your memory is flawed. The sims 2 removed feature at some point, and I remember thinking "What the heck!". I thought it'd be back in the sims 3, but no. However, now that updating can be done digitally I think they should give us the option. Especially since gameplay is more family focused now.
You're right, it doesn't hurt to ask. I'm not good with twitter, so it would be great if you could ask a guru on there. Persistence is how we got ghosts and pools. :smile:
