Erm.. actually I think you’ll find that the three issues you describe have not changed at all. They have been there all along. Do enable ‘COMPLEX AI’ btw. No game is perfect and one area we do still need to look at is some of the animations. Rowan actually ran out of time when they released BoB (their last release of a long line of sims) which is why our list of bugs fixed is very long now.. and we’re still going, though the major ones are now gone.

But like I said, the issues you mention have been there all along. Honest! 🙂

On the subject of water, one of the many new features is that you can actually ditch successfully now. Have a look at the manuals for the new features. There are a lot.
