this is the most complete bullshit i ever read. the reason i searched for a mod, was because for the third time, a off-house family (he lived with his sister, and had a family with a sim in another house) had "moved out to a better place". after putting hours and hours in that family, i just had to google for a mod. (found 'the awesome mod', and, now i can dictate my gameplay to taste ).

suddenly realize why so many of my friends have grudges against EA. ;P

..and about balancing. couldn't it also be some kind of check of the balance of the gene pool of the city? like, some calculation is done on the current population and how it would turn out in the future, and if it would lead to a over-population of a certain "family of genes" they get evicted. and then some other family moves in, with "fresh" genes.
