I did as rosemow suggested and checked to see that autosave was turned of in MCCC and it is. I have the newest version of the mod installed. I've tested the issue both with and without MCCC to make sure it is happening only with the mod and it is. Is there a known work-around for this or maybe I still have a setting improperly selected? I'm hoping this is user error because my game is so much better with the mod than without!
I have never seen that happen with MC Command Center. (Our resident expert / cheerleader is not feeling well today, but I'll pass this along to her as well).
Things I would check.
1) Check the mc_cmd_center.log (if you have logging enabled in the mod, and if not, I'd recommend you enable it), and check lastexceptions, it may indicate a different conflict.
2) Redownload and reinstall MC Command Center to make sure you have everything, simply choose replace when prompted) ** I recently forgot to redownload a componant, and started having really weird things happening, like the MCCC Menu only showing up on the Milton Word Processor, and no where else LOL**
3) Move your mc_settings.cfg file to your desktop, and let MCCC recreate it for you (don't delete the original mc_settings.cfg file, it may not be the issue, and you'll probably want it back.
4) If you have any other Mods, remove them, leaving MCCC in, to see if the issue is with a conflict between MCCC and another mod you have.

Hard to say - it's a matter of liking. If you look to the common forum discussions, there are many who don't want to get in touch with mods at all. By contrast I couldn't play without them - plain game is imho way to boring. It really depends on your game style and what you want to do in game. But once you are here, you should give it a try.
Since we're here in the MCCC thread, let's talk about it. By the way, MCCC stands for "MC Command Center", with "MC" being a tribute to the Sims 3 predecessor mod NRaaS, at the beginning called "Master Controller". You could call MCCC a multi-mod or a mode suite, because it doesn't only tweak one single game setting. There are different modules like "Dresser", "Population" and "Pregnancy" which control and manipulate the associated aspects in the game. Best way to get a feeling for it, is to to download, install and start playing. Change at first only one or two settings and see whether the results suit you.
You might have a look to @egwarhammer MC Command Center Install Help Troubleshooter PDF (Link) which explains in a very easy way, how to install the mod and what to do, if there are issues. As you can see, the PDF deals with version 2.12, meanwhile @Deaderpool released 2.16 and we are expecting a huge update to Version 3.0 after the release of the next S4 expansion pack "City Living". The updates of MCCC follow mostly the offical game patches and so it's a good idea to keep your version up to date.
Prior to you first try, make a backup copy of your game data and carry on backing up regularly. If you don't know what to copy, have a look at @crinrict backup guide (Link). It's always a good idea to have a backup, not only if you start to change anything. Don't be afraid, there will be no problems. Backup is only a precaution, but imho it's important.
To update the mod you simply replace the existing files in your mod folder with the new ones while the game is down.
And by the way: It's a good idea to turn off automatic updates in Origin. So you are in control, when your game will be updated. @Deaderpool needs some time (days) to check and adapt the mod to the new game version, so it's better not to patch immediately after Maxis releases a new game patch.
If you want to learn more about mods or MC, you can feel free to check out my blog, rlinmotion. I'm trying to put together an FAQ page for MC. I still have a long way to go, but there's really good information for anyone who's just getting started for mods. I made it especially for people who know nothing about computers. I also have some Maxis Match custom content finds. I need to update my cc page, but there's still some good stuff on there. If you are going to go and download mods and cc, especially if you find things that aren't on MTS (modthesims), I highly recommend K9 web protection. It's free and easy to install. It will prevent you from getting any creepy popups if you click on an adf.ly or mediafire link. Creators will generally tell you where your cc is coming from, but not always, and sometimes you'll have to go through adf.ly to get to a reputable site like simsfileshare.
Let me know if you want me to tell you about any of the mods/cc I have. I only have a few mods, mostly just add some small features that I think should already be included (mcc to randomize sims so you don't see the same people everywhere, to have more sims on a zone/lot, end culling, a mod to let children have tea, to allow you to make just single cups of tea, make ask if single a friendly interaction--just some small stuff like that). I do have a lot of cc (only maxis match because I want things to look like they belong in my game) because I love fashion. Where else can you go on a shopping spree, get exactly what you want in the right color and style, and not have to spend a penny? Seriously, digital fashion is awesome.
Hope this was at least a little helpful!
I need to know where in the MC Command center settings I can eliminate culling. I need like step by step instructions, because otherwise I'll get confused.
Thank you in advance
There are two sorts of culling in the game:
You didn't point out which culling type you want to deactivate. Here are the step by step guides for both. Choose the one which suits you. The step by step guides refer to MCCC layout version 2.16, which is the current version at the moment of this posting.
For the sake of readability, I used the spoiler function. Please use the "show" button to unfold the step by step lists.
To access the MCCC configuration menu you need a computer from the buy mode on the lot where you are.
If there is none, buy one. Which one doesn't matter.
➽ How to deactivate Sim Culling
Prerequisite: You must have the MCCC module 'Population' installed!
Where to find in MCCC:
Computer: MC Command Center > MC Population > Use Custom Population
Computer: MC Command Center > MC Population > Other Settings > Bypass Sim Culling
What to do - Step by Step (click on "show" button)
➽ How to deactivate Relationship Culling
There are two settings to control relationship decay. One to switch it completly on or off and one which controls the decay level.
➽ How to completely switch off relationship culling:
Where to find in MCCC:
Computer: MC Command Center > Other Settings > Relationship Settings > Relationship Culling > EA Relationship Culling
What to do - Step by Step (click on "show" button)
➽ How to set the relationship decay level:
Where to find in MCCC:
Computer: MC Command Center > Other Settings > Relationship Settings > Friendship Decay Percentage
Computer: MC Command Center > Other Settings > Relationship Settings > Romantic Decay Percentage
What to do - Step by Step (click on "show" button)
Don't forget to restart your game if you changed anything mentioned above. This is mandatory for the settings to become effective.
Hope, that helps

Thank you. Following your steps, and going to find my files, I found an old autosaving mod still in the folder. I didn't even realize I still had it as my mods folder was empty otherwise. When I removed that file and put MCCC back in my problem went away.

I just wanted to say that your post explaining about where the culling settings are in the mod, willl be very helpful for simmers. There is often simmers that are having issues knowing where the settings are, so it will be great to refer them to your post.
Thankyou for your thoughtfulness

Thanks you so so much! This is exactly what I needed.
Also I was talking about both forms of culling.
Again, thank you!
Ok, that's good to know too
Let us know, if you have any further questions. You are always welcome.
Thanks for looking out, I've been seriously dragging for days, here. Didn't do much of *anything* my week off, and it's back to work tonight. I'll be around, though. Less play, more net.
At least I made it to Sunday morning in my game, finally, right before I went to bed today. That's about the only thing I did get done, this week, tripped 6000 hours played.
Getting old still beats the alternative, but this has not been a banner week off for me.
No promises, but I may try to do a story post to the other thread in the morning. I'll see where I'm at, after work and the school run.
Have a great evening... think of me, full moon, working in retail... wish me luck!

at least its not black friday.
Speaking of holidays, since Laura's been good to start giving me those nasty 2nd shift Sundays off (I don't work the next coming one either, that's posted now, woot!)... I went ahead and left her a note volunteering to work sometime on Christmas Day. (We do our family holiday thing on Christmas Eve, here.)
Either the last half of 2nd shift, or all of it (if I *have* to), or, if Doris wants the night off, I'd actually prefer to work her shift instead. Going for "ace in the hole" here, so Laura knows she's got at least one warm willing body to cover part of that day. People call in. Imagine that.
I've worked more of them than I haven't, in the last 7 years, and I would be scheduled for it anyway, IF she wasn't giving me extra days off right now. If she needs me for that one, I'm there. (I'm also taking these incoming Sundays off as an "I'll believe it when I see it" thing... 2/2, so far, so good!)
Has nothing to do with anything, other than being yet another off topic slice of life post from the Cheerleader.

Hi.
Checked your story posts, nice pictures!
PS: Not sure if my question was buried under all the other questions, but i decided to ask again:
You said, that i wouldn't need a weight/muscle control mod because MCCC has a similar module. That sounds great. Which one is it? And if i add that into my game, what are the adjustments i need to set if i want my sims never to change their appearance..in other words if i want them to stay the way i make them in CAS.
Thank you!
You can find those controls in the CAS-Module. Make sure that this module is installed in your game. But maybe it works somewhat different from the mod you currently use.
To access the MCCC configuration menu you need a computer from the buy mode on the lot where you are. If there is none, buy one. Which one doesn't matter. A tablet is also fine, but has first to be moved from the inventory and placed somewhere on the lot.
Where to find in MCCC:
Computer/Tablet: MC Command Center > MC CAS > Monitore Physique
Computer/Tablet: MC Command Center > MC CAS > Male Fit/Fat Limits
Computer/Tablet: MC Command Center > MC CAS > Female Fit/Fat Limits
Don't forget to restart your game after you changed anything mentioned above. This is mandatory for the settings to become effective.
☆☆☆ Have Fun! ☆☆☆

I still use this one No Fatness / No Muscles by @scripthoge
It hasn't conflicted with MCCC (yet). The only issue I had with using monitor physique in MCCC is it sets everyone to the values you put in.
