Story Progression Toggle: Is it borked?

Sounds like that would be a big deal breaker for people who would want to play legacy style!

Going slower right now, but that's because I'm raising three toddler boys at once. I'm hating that maternity leave is enforced, and on the mother only. Way to be sexist, EAxis. My workaholic has to stay home with the babies, while the father goes to work.
Wow. I've read a lot of negative stuff about the game but for some reason that one really irks me. I love my non-traditional families where Mom hands off the baby to stay-at-home Dad and heads back to the office.

WHAT? That is ridiculous!

How is this any different from TS2?
I can see myself getting used to families randomly leaving town for no reason - I'm getting the feeling generally that playing TS3 is going to involve forgetting about any kind of micromanagement of the neighborhood and accepting that the game is often going to play itself, and that might actually be a relief from TS2, since my TS2 neighborhood is going through a period of being extremely boring and predictable (or that might just be because my sims are all in college now...).

Both TS2 and TS3 seem pretty inherently sexist regarding maternity leave, but at least TS2 doesn't FORCE the mothers to stay home. They had the option of going back to work, and either having the father stay (if he had enough vacation time) or calling a babysitter. Apparently, EA is intent on cramming this outdated bullshit down our throats.
