Neighborhood stories: Will there be new relationships or not?

Beardedgeek

I am a bit confused, most people say the new updates won't create new couples, some claim it will? There is no option for it in the Stories settings so I am inclined to believe those that say this option does not exist?

It does not exist. Maybe in a future update.

Good to know. Then I'll turn MCCC marriages back on!

I use MCCC for marriages, and Neighborhood Stories for the rest, and I find that gives me a decent balance.

yeah it doesnt seem to add relationships atm maybe in future

but actually i am curious if game will mess up the relations with have a child option

like say if your sim has slight pink bar with multiple sims would game still choose that sim for have a child would sim always be same and would it pick partner on random or does it only happen with married sims ignoring any other pink bars

i did only notice married couples in my test save though so maybe its just gonna avoid non married sims

There might be some confusion because of the phone calls we get asking, “should I date so-and-so?” then sometimes a “we had a great time!” follow up call. But apparently it’s not real, from what I’ve heard. These sims won’t even know each other if you look into it. That’s disappointing.

The phone call aspect of Neighborhood Stories seems to add a lot of confusion whenever the topic comes up. If only these were called something different.

Apparently this is a bug- the neighborhood stories phone calls about dating should result in a romance bar.

Odd since I think we all have this glitch? but go ahead and send in saves if it has happened to you

PS also everyone please go "me too" the bug, only 12 people have so far

So if I move the "Population" module back in, but set everything to default...? Or how did you set "MCCC only for marriages"?

I set all the pregnancy percentages to zero and turned off all the days to check. Also have it set to not move out single YA sims (though this does end up with some... large households) so they only get moved out if MCCC marries them off.

Sims in my game have been getting a romance bar after these phone calls.

that's good to know @RedShoe7 that apparently that is intended design and the rest of us really are bugged!

Thats because it's broken. This bug happens when you switch households to the sim that called yours.
