I've customized story progression so they'll still go to work and get promotions and raises or gain skills though they won't move house,adopt,have babies or change jobs unless I make them active and make them do those things.I've got 90 NRaas Mod files and over 100 other Mods installed and that's just a guess at the Mods because I lost count some time ago and this was required to have a playable game without having it full of bugs and glitches like EA's own "story progression" is for most of us.That version was so glitchy I had to use a Mod version to replace it if I wanted to even be able to play after it ruined so many of my older games.
