I double-checked my information and deemed it to be slightly off. The method above works fine if not everyone moves out, but it won't let you move everyone. To move the entire family, go into the neighborhood and choose the family bin, click "move family," select the family's current house, and then choose and click on the one you want them to move into. Sorry if the previous post was misleading.

This is a rather simple matter. Just use the newspaper or computer and choose "Find Own Place" then choose the sims you want to move out. After that, they'll be in the Lots & Houses bin. Choose the family, click on the house you want them to go to, and you're done! I hope this is correct information; I don't really move my Sims around much.

It's significant for dial-up. What makes IE so fast? :?: @brock01: Not the DL speed, but the difference between 43-58kbps.

What extensions are you running on FF?  What toolbars do you have installed in IE?

FF: Fasterfox 1.0.3 & Yahoo! Toolbar
IE: No toolbars
I suppose this could account for the difference, but I really don't know.

Ok, here's the 579kb test. Still a significant difference:

IE:
:::.. Download Stats ..:::
Connection is:: 58 Kbps about 0.1 Mbps (tested with 579 kB)
Download Speed is:: 7 kB/s
Tested From:: http://testmy.net  (main)
Test Time:: 2006/03/25 - 8:38am
Bottom Line:: 1X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 146.29 sec
Tested from a 579 kB file and took 82.391 seconds to complete

Firefox:

Why is there such a wide gap between the speeds? Isn't FF supposed to be faster? The FF page speeds are infinitely better than IE's, but why is IE faster with downloads?
