LaBlue0314 As far as I know, there are only two other mods with some kind of story progression, both core mods that have many other effects as well: AwesomeMod and Simler90's mod. Awesome has its own version of SP, and it has some configuration options for that and in general, but it's much less malleable than typical NRaas mods. Simler's mod is a pile of fixes rolled into one, including adjustments to EA SP to make it work sort-of-properly.
Before adding either of these, I would look carefully at the documentation to make sure you're not getting other features you wouldn't want. Simler's mod in particular conflicts with a few NRaas mods, in ways that are mostly not dangerous but are enough that the people at the NRaas site won't provide support for a save using this mod. Removing it is fine.
If NRaas SP has been a problem for you, I'd suggest trying it again but with it running on the slowest setting. Each "manager" has its own speed setting as well, so it's possible to slow SP down as much as you want. Or you could slow only the romance manager down or block a subset of sims (teens, ones your own sim's age, etc.) from romance altogether for a time, or really change almost anything about it that you find inconvenient or problematic.
