RIght now there is almost 1,000 sims. If sl continues to grow at the rate it is. in four year there will be over 4,000 sims. The pull down menu in the map menu was nice, but I'm getting tired of holding down the mouse. WOuld it be possible to replace the pull down with a scroll window?

As a supplement, here's my suggestion:

Make the field one that can not only be scrolled within, but one that you can TYPE names in, with Autocomplete. I most certainly know where I want to go a lot of the time, and it frustrates me that I can't just type in a sim name!!

What do ya think? ^_^

There are about 570 sims currently. A good distance from 1000. Auto-complete it should be.

I think they should use speech recognition for sim names. Not that it would work, but the samples would probably be good for a laugh. ;)

I've been suggesting autocomplete for all drop-down menus (textures too) in here every few weeks. Such a simple piece of code because it already exists for our inventory.
