Missed out on #7 which messed my entire response list.

Anyhow,


 * Personally I find little appeal in the toddler stage. It is a step backwards, true, but in my side it isn't much of a loss.
 * Given the story progression's propensity, I generally dislike story progression with no customization because of the unwanted romance and babies as I previously mentioned. I think it is a matter of preference: I don't mind micromanaging families to prevent story parameter from being broken.
 * The direction is quite disappointing. I'm under the impression that they found the delay between rides in Sims 3 bit overwhelming. Small neighborhood size does help in that direction, but oh jeez, WTFOMGBBQ.
