So one of the things I loved about Sims 2 was that when you play a character and it dies you are done with them. Plus, when you moved out a family member you could go and play that character later. However, it seems like this is not the case for Sims 3. I just want to make sure I am understanding this correctly or if there could be something I can do. I played one of the original characters, married another, had 3 kids. The mother and father are dead. Then when the three kids got older I moved two of them into buildings in town. 1. I can't find the two siblings in town where I moved them and can't play them as active characters. 2. When I go to the town to start and pick a new person or try to find the siblings it is back to the original people- mother and father living separate. Though I have one sibling saved from being active. I would like to make sure that I can't find the siblings again and play them as active in a separate house. I really liked the aspect of Sims that I could control things.
This is all in expansion pack Last Night. I'm still getting used to the Sims 3 setup.
