maybe you just have to scroll over the house and it will tell you of the events currently and recently having happened in that particular household?

They should make the daily newspaper interactable. It should say the daily news, like big things that are happening in a family. It should be like changing your hair, pause the game, so you can read it. It would say things like:
Danny and Clair Jones had a baby girl, Jessica.
Roy Thomas and Jan Smith just got engaged....and so on.
It would be exciting to look foward to that daily.

I agree with the newspaper thing..
at the same time the sims find out whats going on we could to..by it pausing the game and allowing us to read up on our other households.

Now i'm even more excited about ts3, and it isn't even official!
maybe they'll make a 2nd version of life stories, using TS3 as a base!
cause i liked life stories

that sounds really interested... now im getting really excited. i liked playing premade families in the previous games. the story mode seems to be a lot more engaging, so when i create my own families and let them be with the simultaneous aging, their lives and stories will be able to progress even when i'm not playing them.
awesome~!!!

I really hope that some families start off with a story but this time i want the sims to know what their life is supposed to play out like and help me out..because then i would get a hang of the game sort of..because it is going to be a bit different and it could work as sort of a warm up for me.

I hope there's a variety when it comes to families and stories. Some should have these huge, interesting stories and backgrounds to play with, some should have small little stories to tell that you could change widely. And some should have no stories whatsoever, so you're free to do as you please and create your own story for them.

I always liked the stories. Especially when a notice popped up telling you the situation. Like with Don they suggested you give Nina a call. I think it would be cool to have some sort of story that you could complete. Like maybe up to a certain point you could unlock events and get special memories specific to it. Depending on what you did you would also have different outcomes. Of course if you didn't want to do this you could totally ignore it.
Like one option could be solving the mystery of Bella. I think the Caliente sisters killed her.
By the way I'm not talking all out mystery game here. Still the sims, but a tad bit plot driven. They did say they were going to add more goal oriented gameplay for the simmers that want it.
