Oh, man, yes, that would be amazing. I hate having to load the neighborhood list and then the neighborhood every dang time. Sometimes I'm not sure who I want to play first, so it makes sense; but lately I've only been playing my legacy family, so that's a bunch of useless extra clicks. If there's one thing they harp on at my work, it's the evils of useless clicks. (And grammar tips. If there's two things they harp on, they're useless clicks and grammar tips. And making software pretty. If there's three things... I'll come in again. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4svo6sVGxg))
