Thanks 😊
Must admit Nicklaus was casted as the black sheep of the story, but besides choosing the “wrong job”, have been quite nice so far.
Regarding making the day twice as long. It fits by story well, as my in-game day is a story month. It gives me time to see many small autonomous stories unfold, within the same gameday. In any case I believe EA is too fast, so if i did a "directed" playthrough, with fewer "main" characters, I would still slow it down, maybe 30-40% in stead of 100.
Just a mention of some good mods, playing auto: Consigner: add possibility to sell more different types of stuff in the consignment store. Dresser: allows them to dress “as they feel like” 😅without direction. Register: allows town-sims to work in roles otherwise attended by NPC. No Free Work Performance: make inactive sims more similar to active, no free salary or promotions. Fridge Mod: They can only make a dish, if they have the necessary ingredients. OnceRead: they only autonomously select books they haven't read already. GetDrunk: (or Sims Drink) simulate them being drunks.
Interesting. I thought I had the "No Free Work Perfomance" mod, but browsing through my folder it turns out I have an outdated mod which does the same thing, but is called "No Free Perfomance" (without the "Work"). So I might replace it with the newer version, test it and see how it goes. I should probably also organize my mods folder even a little bit better. 😉
I may consider the Dresser mod, but I think not.. I don't necessarily want sims to change their outfits (as in, actually change what goes into their outfits) all on their own. It's not valid for all sims, but some of my sims I have specific ideas on what their appearance is, and I don't want them to change it without my input. 😉
*edit: Actually, the "No Free Work Perfomance" mod is only called that on the NRAAS site. Once downloaded the .package file is called "ani_NoFreePerfomance" and was last changed on 07.09.2012 19:04, so it turns out the version I had wasn't as outdated as I thought... I already have the latest version.

I completely understand that you won't use Dresser, I only do so to see how crazy things may or may not turn out.

The intention behind that one is just to have some flow, by moving those families out and populate the town, making room for new children. If I get too attached to someone, can always bend the rules. All that provided, that I will like this playthrough enough to get that far.
