Do you use MC Command Center's story progression or the game's?

I currently use MC Command Center and I'm not a huge fan of it because in my experience sims get pregnant with multiple other sims but never actually settle down and get married. Because of this I've been contemplating if I should just get rid of MCCC since story progression is really the only thing I use it for.

With MCCC I'm pretty sure you can make it where only married sims get pregnant, but I don't seem to have a problem. I do have some sims that have kids thru multiple other sims. And some how I have a household that is literally just one child age kid, all by himself. No idea how that happened. I have other households that has random kids adopted into the household. It really doesn't bother me though. There's all kinds of walks of life in RL so I kind of like it in my game, too.
But as Cupid said, it's fully controllable, you can set the population, and what not to make it your own.
There is and I believe it's under MC Pregnancy(not in game rn so may be off on my location). Holliebb is a twitch streamer I watch and she has a video on her yt about MC settings specific to her Upgrowth challenge that show this exact setting.
How is it useless? It offers features and tools that aren’t present in the unmodded game. It might be useless to you, but I don’t think you can advise someone else against its use on the basis that it’s “useless” since you don’t know what that player requires.
@Cogshell You have to put in a little effort to get your settings right. With some tweaking you can tone down pregnancies and marriages to any degree you’d like.
@Cogshell You need to set your settings the way you want your game to behave.
If you enable encourage family option, and set pregnancy only for married sims, your sims will no longer get pregnant randomly from different fathers.
You can even set max number of kids per couple, the percentage of how likely marriage will happen for a sim, at what ages to run marriage and pregnancy.
(like my game is set for marriage allowed for young adults and adults, not elders, pregnancy is only allowed for adults, only married sims can have kids and marriages are only allowed with oppposite gender, so no automatic gay couples. When I want a gay couple for diversity I make them manually but I don't want the game to generate them automatically. That's my preference.)
MCCC has tons of detailed settings that you can tweak according to what you want. I accept it's menu is kind of confusing but once you get used to it, it's ok. You need to spare some time to adjust it perfectly for YOUR gameplay preferences.
It was a disaster.
I deleted it and spent a few hours fixing the mess it caused but there are still a few remnants.
It might be good if you already have most of your houses full and a well rounded world.
But, since there is no good story progression, I just turn aging off and creat the whole world on my own at my own pace.
You can easily adjust your settings so this doesn't happen. It's an awesome, versatile mod. You just need to read up on how the settings work.
In the pregnancy module, the setting is:
MCCC > MC Pregnancy > Partner Sim Selection > Allow Affairs
Set it to 'false'.
And if you want only Sims who are married (to each other) to have kids, you want this setting:
MCCC > MC Pregnancy > Pregnant Sim Selection > Married Only Pregnancies
Set it to 'true'.
Its an amazing wonderful powerful and necessary mod (for me) once you get the hang of it, reading the documentations is a must on the MCCC website, I read it all the time still myself
It's a horrible mod and that's that. Too much crammed into one thing and it just messes up the game big time, just like this thread proves. And no I don't care that it's not messed up for you or some others, I have seen countless threads on here and on other platforms taliing about how ridiculously the game messes up the game. It's just a poor mod and useless as it does more harm than good. Period.
@Simpkin No, its not. The fact that you do not know how to configure the mod does not mean that it is useless, only that you have not tried hard enough.
😂😂 You’re joking right? This is hilarious 😂😂
I got frustrated with it at first when I tried to use it then I started reading the documentation on deaderpool's website, first thing I figured out was to have a test save that I didn't care what happened in it to try out new settings and adjustments. Next I learned to utilize the help thread on here, and even better their discord channel. They are really friendly and helpful in there and will walk you through things, and they're invaluable for figuring out errors caused by conflicting mods or broken cc. Once I put just a little effort into learning how the mod works I quickly got to where I can't play without it.
The number of people not willing to read the Documentation page and tweak the settings for their own needs boggles my mind. You should always read about mods before using them no matter what.
