Thanks for starting this thread.
What really surprised me about this game was that, I, who loves families and genetics, couldn't make it past the third generation, even when I wanted to. My original families remain stuck in time because I didn't feel satisfied with their bassinet babies turning into school-going kids, but these two families, I created just because I wanted to finally do some generational play, no carrying of babies around and lack of toddlers aside. I didn't care that these sims would age and die, as long as I could say, I made it to the fourth or fifth generation. The kids became teens and were just starting to flirt while doing their homework when I was done. I just didn't care. Like always, I had reached a level of frustration with all the bugs and things that annoy me. I came back however, and tried something new. I created anime characters, something I enjoyed greatly, but after a lot of career play and collecting, eventually wanted to do family play there too. They're also stuck, lol.
The fact that I can laugh about that shows a lot. I'm still saddened though, by how things turned out for me with this game. I would never have thought that expansions would interest me so little and that the idea of buying packs would feel wrong, even if, by chance, they would finally make the game feel more complete.
