I played two in-game weeks on one save. I had only moving out disabled. Nothing much happened. Two Sims changed their careers and Bella & Mortimer Goth had one more child. No one adopted a child (or a pet) and no one died. I'm surprised.
I guess it's a good thing, but it's probably going to change when I change to another save.
Mine has been fairly aggressive. 4 adopted children, one adopted cat, one adopted dog, one new family, and Jess Sigworth died last night. That said, I have been trying to track down some buggy Custom Content so i was exiting/re-entering the game a lot. I wonder if that triggered things more than they would normally.
I feel like I should get back to playing my Master Save.
I still need to progress quite a few sims through University to complete it.
With this new story progression I would like to take an entirely new sim and play them through my world full of sims I've added.
I would only rotate between a couple of other households and let story progression take care of the rest. I think I might enjoy this more than the dozen households I had planned to rotate between.
When I have run the course with these few households a could start anew with a new sim and pick a different set of households to rotate between.
Same. 😄 I don't think I have enough families so my plan is to create more. Probably married couples with no children and single households with accommodations for pets.
I'm so in love with this update! This neighborhood stories have made my game so alive! A lot has happened in four sim days! Five random sims died, five families adopted pets (I see a clear preference for Savanah cats in my game, love it), other sims got pregnant (here, I don't know if it's the update or MCCC, either way, they seem to be working great together) and, finally, I received one call from a friend of my active sim asking if he should get closer to a girl, i answered "yes", and after got another call saying that they got along!
I may have a break from TS2 and TS3 and return to TS4!
I haven't played it yet but I'm really happy that the lives of my sims will progress. Though I've been using MCCC for that it's nice to have it as an option in game. I was reading the article and I really like the mailbox option to check your neighborhood updates, that seems like a really cool feature.
I like having a lot of control over my game but I wanted to give this a try. I deselected adopt children and move in / move out and so far I've had one family adopt a toddler and one family move into Newcrest, any one else having this issue?
I got bored waiting so I made Vlad hibernate for a week just to see what happened!LOL
Deaths and moving are disabled but a few sims had babies, a couple of career changes, a couple of adoptions and pets too. The Jangs were the clear winners though as when I checked on them they had 2 new kids and a large dog....very ambitious for apartment living.
(and I awwww'ed when I saw that Moody and McMillan had adopted a baby too!).
After a few sim weeks I've noticed a couple of changes on the more prominent premades, but I didn't checked everyday what's happened. I play with no aging and mod-free at the moment.
My neighbor and friend Eliza died during the winter in lack of proper clothes, she left Bob, her baby son Florian and her cat behind. Bob wanted to follow eliza with the same way, I could prevent that. Bob wasn't sad about the death of Eliza, my sim grieved for two full day. Later Bob adopted another cat, this time it is a friendly cat and not a catzilla again.
The Goth: Bella died in rage. Mortimer is awol (surely he died too) and left their two kids and three dogs alone.
Same with the Villareal kids, Jacques doesn't exist anymore.
Bjergsen and Landgraab families have gotten a bunch of toddlers and pets. The majority of celebrities moved in. A baby Ariel moved also in. Obviously Strangerville is now the place to go.
And at last, Vlad has adopted a girl. That's giving me a interview with a vampire feeling.
I was just thinking, it sure would be nice if you could find out was was going on in the neighborhood by reading and newspaper ( good for those that don’t have a lot of technology ), or be able to check out a gossip column on the computer. I really want to see newspapers ( in paper, and from the computer ) back.
I saw a YouTube video by Neecxle on the story progression. It seemed to work well except there was no urn left in the household when a Sim died an accidental death. He was just gone from the relationship panel, and his wife had no emotion related to the death. That's a little disappointing. I was considering using this option to thin out my rotation households, but I don't won't to use it if the Sim is just deleted.
I saw that too. But I can confirm that in an unmodded game that does not happen. I checked after a death and the dead sim was a ghost in the rest of the households relationship panel and they were all sad.
I only had time to play for a little for the first time last night. (I have a continuation of the Sims 2 storyline going in my neighborhood)
3/17
Burb family adopted a dog
Erin Beaker and Micheal bachelor are expecting a baby
Roth family adopted a cat
Don lothario and Kaylynn are expecting a baby
Watson family had another baby
Okamoto family adopted a dog
(I may have to turn off adopt a pet very soon)
No deaths or jobs yet. I've also noticed no notifications from the "other" families. Do we only get notifications if they are in the played/unplayed category?
I've had 3 new random Sims move into apartments in San Myshuno and Evergreen Harbor although I have disabled the fill empty homes in options. I also didn't select move in/out for any of the households participating in neighborhood stories. I went into manage households and deleted them.
All of my available lots, over 60, are empty, no homes, to prevent move ins but I can't demolish the apartments. I only have one of my own sims in an apartment in San Myshuno so I guess I'll spend the weekend filling apartments with new families. I'd planned on adding more families anyway.
Im actually loving the chaos this creates! Even with some options switched off sims are still causing havoc with their questionable life choices!!LOL
Like why did the Eclectic Household in Strangerville adopt a kid?
Will Miko of the Karaoke Legends in San Mishuno still want Kibo now he has a baby?
How did Moody and McMillan adopt a cat that is famous?
Will the Bailey-Moons manage triplets as well as a newly adopted daughter?
I'm loving this, I also love that it's fully customizable, I can't wait for more to be added, I have everything enabled for my sims neighbours, no more ghost towns yes
So... has anything happened to households with at least one sim your played sims are friends with?
Because I'll have to check, but I haven't seen anything for the sim households where my sim knows at least one person, even if I only have a couple of sims calling mine for advice.
Across all of my played households at least one of my played Sims are friends with almost every living sim in the game, @DaWaterRat. So far I've had over a half dozen elders which are friends with sims that I play die (accidental deaths), and a lot of the households they are friends with have adopted pets. I've also had a few have babies.
Today I received a call from a friend of my active sim asking me to go to her house help train or leash her new dog or something like that (I don't recall the text), and I'm almost sure it was added by the last update! I'm still in love with it!
Sim-days 2 & 3 have passed in my game, and I've had two additional pregnancies, two more job changes, two other move-ins, and three more dog adoptions! Here are the changes I found the most amusing.
The Britechester ghost, Felix Psyded (who founded the University and died laughing) moved into a penthouse in San Myshuno.
The Caliente household in Oasis Springs adopted a little girl dog called Belle.
I was very nervous about this. However now I’ve started using Neighbourhood Stories I absolutely love it. 🥰
The fact you can customise the settings is so great. I’m really enjoying it. I would love to see marriage and dating options added. Also the ability to get a roommate.
I’ve started a new save last night so I set off with the regular starting Sims like the Goths, Pancakes etc. The Sims that came with expansion and game packs are now in Other Households to see what happens.
Globally I have turned off the move in and out options for all plus accidental deaths. However deaths have been set for certain Sims.
The Roomies have a toddler and the Vatores adopted a dog.
So apparently Mila Munch died when her cereal burst into flames. Isn't she a foodie? Doesn't she know you don't have to cook a bowl of cereal? Too funny!
My neighborhoodstories mod is fine with the new patch. I disabled neighborhoodstories in my game and didn't get any calls. I also didn't see any new calls added in the code. The changes the team made to the neighborhoodstories with the patch had already been done by me since long, so there was no need for changes.

This stuff just writes itself and I love it!!LOL
In one of my saves she moved out. She is now among the not in world sims. No idea where her cats are.
Because I'll have to check, but I haven't seen anything for the sim households where my sim knows at least one person, even if I only have a couple of sims calling mine for advice.
