They need to do something about it. Knowing EA/Maxis, it'll come a game too late. Like the aging thing with TS2 (which I personally loved), all they did was give a cheat to turn it off for people who didn't like it. Then put an off switch for aging in TS3, to please those people. But people who didn't like the aging were already put off from buying new games. It happened to some of my friends, who are still playing TS1, because they hate the aging thing.

Story progression won't completely put me off the games. I'll just make CASs, every time I want to make a potential spouse for my sims, then merge them with the house. I guess the only problem with that, is that each CAS will be stored in the sim bin. I do hate that, because it seems that sims I have in the bin automatically move into the neighbourhood. I could potentially have a clone of one of my sims walking around.
