NRaas Story Progression castes help

I'm pretty sure that using SP's Career:Disallow prevents the sims from entering those careers on their own and being able to stay in them, not that it would prevent the player from directing the sims to join them by either in-game commands or MC.

That's fine, I'll just have to remember not to put my sims in those careers.

Also, in the example given, you don't need to set Allows and Disallows at the same time. If something is Allowed by caste membership explicitly, it is understood that all other sims who are not members of the allowed caste are automatically disallowed.

I didn't know that. I had a feeling that it was kind of redundant to do both but I didn't want to mess anything up. Thanks for that tip.

If you want to restrict player-directed romance options with NRaas mods, you have to use a different mod that we are not allowed to discuss on this forum together with SP (its name begins with a "W").

Ohhh ok, gotcha. Found the setting for that just now.

If I decide that Sally, Suzie, and Frank are to be the three members of Caste A for no reason in the world other than I want them to be, then the caste must be and stay Manual. If Sally, Suzie, and Frank are the only sims in town who meet the filter criteria, you want sims who end up meeting the criteria at some future point to become members of the caste all by themselves, and you want any of the original three to drop out of the caste when they no longer meet the criteria, then the caste should be Automatic.

See I didn't realize it should have been automatic at first, then I made it Automatic after I added sims manually. Should I remove everyone from the castes then, as you said, make it Automatic since I want future sims to also be in those castes? Or would it be better to delete the custom castes then remake them and do Automatic?

Btw, thanks for helping me through this today, I'm starting to understand how it works a little better.
