I am in love with NRAAS's mod for TS3, Story Progression. It worked like a charm for me, the Sims had babies, got married, had jobs and whatever. Like, all of the time & I love it! Now, for TS4 that's a different story. Sims take forever to age, they never have new children, they never do this & they never do that. Also, the X3 SPEED is super slow, don't you think? Sometimes it works SUPER FAST, then sometimes its just... Fast? But not fast, if you get my drift.
Anyway, does anybody know of any Mods that are like Story progression, or ARE story progression? Thanks in advance!
TS4.

What does Culling mean? Sorry to sound stupid. And thanks.
Also, which FILE is the story progression one? Or do I have to install ALL of them? (I really don't want to)
Docs are full of great info, Deaderpool's done a wonderful job of making everything more readable than it used to be.
It's very configurable, either in or out of the game. I've installed it all (including woohoo module, PM me for that NSFW link), and just keep enabling/disabling parts of the different modules to suit my style of the moment.
This game is soooooooooo much more fun now!!
And, 12 also includes disabling both culling and pruning. Safe sims. I'm good with that.

Okay. I downloaded and installed all of those things and my game is still the same as before, just with some options when you click on a Sim. I'm not getting notifications saying that people are giving birth or getting married, and I can't see any progress with any other Sims or anything. This mod is so vanilla, unless I'm using it in all of the wrong ways. But still, thank you guys!
Yeah, freshly installed it's defaulted to mimic a lot of in-game settings, you've really got to play with settings to fix those how you want.
My preference (now that I know what most things do) is to run the game and GET the config file, then I quit the game and use Notepad++ to edit my settings. But it's not hard in the game (using a computer)... I just don't care for that much clicking.
Here's SOME of what I have going on... just for reference. Check the mod's description page, if you click through the blue buttons, there's default settings and a LOT of other info there.
