Hi all,
I was just wondering if anyone here plans to work on story progression? (when the decompiling and such is sorted out ofc)
J. M. Pescado mentioned he may do some modding for TS4, but not which areas, is there anyone else that may be working on one?
Basically the essential mod for me before continuing playing properly is story progression, and keeping the progress in households when switching - as apparently TS4 doesn't have that down pat, or any story progression at all.
Any pointers to the individual blogs/forums would be handy as well.
Thank you in advance. :D

Posted in here as I'm looking into learning how to mod with Python and would really like to learn to add modules to whomever is working on it :)
I wouldn't expect to see a story progression mod from anyone in the near future.
What I would like to see is the developers start tackling this to some extent, once they get significant feedback on gameplay. But it would be a significant game redesign wouldn't it?
After I finish some of my Uni assignments I'll start looking into the files myself and see if I can make some simple mods, after which are (hopefully) successful will start looking into doing a more large scale. Though if someone starts working on it earlier it would be good to know what features they are looking to implement.
All in due time :).
I'm used to my child sims, especially, pairing up with their best school friend when they get to high school, and often spending a lifetime with them (not because I have romantic ideas about love, but because it is just the most efficient way to pair em up )
I'd say go for it... even if somebody else does a story progression mod, everybody wants different features (we had two rather different choices each with a LOT of options for TS3, and even so people always had complaints and suggestions).
There's more information about working with the Python and the data files here: http://www.modthesims.info/forumdisplay.php?f=701
Will give it a crack after all the rest of the ones I want to do then, by then there will be more information out and about. :D
But they didn't get the universal aging right. The status of discussion box doesn't match the age in many cases after an age up. I'm playing a game where Nancy Landgraab is so screwed up from bugs I stopped talking to her.

I used to get a thrill seeing the families in the neighborhood progress and have their own legacies. Now I feel like I have to add new Sims with kids into the neighborhood just to have new children. I don't get to know these Sims.
In TS3 I was a legacy player; always have been. And I would have kids and send them out into the neighborhood when they grew up. I got to see them get married and have kids. I had the auto try for baby on, ALWAYS. But with TS4, it'll be a nuisance to have to play them and knock them up when all I'm interested in is playing my legacy family.
I don't expect a story progression mod (let's face it; I don't expect anything when it comes to this game and I sure as hell don't blame the mod creators for not wanting to touch it), but I would forever appreciate one!

Odd, be sure to post the bugs here so it gets addressed (screenshots and all): answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs
