Definitely NO to story progression for me! I can't stand the game making decisions for me and I have a gazillion households that I want left alone. Plus, making Sims get married and have babies is not my idea of "progression". The game already plays itself too much with me fighting against it and story progression would just make it feel like yet another perspective forced onto me to add to the utopian vision of someone else.
Also, can you imagine the glitches and annoyances that would come with it? Vampires being suddenly domestic, constant texts alerting your Sims every time something changes, NPCs that you intended for your Sim to date suddenly moving in with someone else without warning, stories you had set up being disrupted, same sex Sims suddenly going hetero and vice versa, etc...
I know that a lot of people revere Sims 3 for its story progression, but that was just another reason why I hated it. It's a huge invasive "feature" that robs the player of control in their own game.
I think I would like story progression if it actually had a toggle, but apparently toggles are too hard for TS4, so I'm rather worried about all kind of bugs and glitches...
And I definitely would be disappointed if story progression was the big announcement we all had to wait for for like three months
We'll I'm pretty sure if story progression was ever added it would be optional. I don't want it either I like to control my sims worlds and they live the story I basically want them too have. If it's completely optional though I'd have a new way to try to play. When they added in gender stuff they added in options. Aging has options now.. story progression is one of those types of things people use it or don't... much like aging or long life. I just hope they don't put it in a pack because that would be a pack I wouldn't buy and I might miss out on other stuff.
I like your style, @SimGuruKate Start small and get everyone talking and speculating.
This is wonderful news and I for one am excited and filled with antici...
MC Command Center does a great job with Story Progression, and doesn't cause any errors in the game. I agree with making it optional, but I would still enjoy it. I don't think it's very hard to implement either. If a mod can do a good job with it, there's no reason EA can't do it even better. I don't think it would cause any problems.
And there's also NO reason they can't make a toggle switch for it; it's been over 3 years, they should be able to do that by now!
Sure, this is a great week... Monday was a holiday
Well, great for us! But Monday was not a holiday in the US lol
I believe the Monday coming is a Holiday for us here in US. Memorial Day. (Even though Officially Memorial Day is the 30th of May - it is celebrated on the last Monday in May. My neighbor said her kids have school off this coming Monday. (Yesterday was Victoria Day I heard - which I believe is a Canadian Holiday for Queen Victoria - not sure though. I just know it is not a US Holiday - but Memorial day is. Banks are closed, no mail, no school, businesses get the day off - etc.
I was born on the actual Memorial Day (30th) - LOL.

Right. I’m Canadian and yesterday was Victoria Day. I was replying to the comment about how this week was great because Monday was a holiday, but it wasn’t a holiday for the Sims team. Since Memorial Day is the 28th, I suspected this week might be the week we get a patch but who knows.

Happy early birthday to you!
Thank you. It is always a great and happy day for me simply because I am still here to have it. My yearly milestone completes and I get to start the next one. Always focus on the milestone. Life is good.

Great week even if nothing new happened in The Sims 4 these 2 last days (Current week : 29% done).
haha love the percentage @LeGardePourpre
don't worry though, this week still has 5 days left to be great, just be patient (and that's me saying it lol)
Sorry for the mistakes, English is not my first language ^^'

Each word is very dangerous, they must pay attention when they handle them. A week is 7 days, not 5 or 3 days .

Well depends on what greatness one refers to. Now if it is the Sims - it has 3 more days to be great this week - then we have to wait until Next Tuesday to hear anything, if we hear nothing in the next 3 days.

So, no thanks. Leave my game alone.
