Hi, I have an issue of neighborhood stories not allowing Sims to have babies on their own or adopt children. I haven't found anyone else saying that neighborhood stories wasn't doing something that it should, until I read your post. Have you found a solution?

I've just downloaded the base game on the PS4 and it's still the same, so it's definitely a bug. I played for 4 hours real time with nothing but death by accident on in neighbourhood stories and all it would tell me was that nothing of note had happened.

@Fleeglesnark I've done the same in regards to only having my settings on having babies in neighborhood stories. I've gone through up to 10 sim days on one lot and nothing!

@Creeper545548 I have a similar problem on PC ☹️

The max size is set to 80, but I only ever play the one family. If I go into the other households, I always mark them as unplayed after I'm done. All the settings have been reset to default multiple times, just in case I missed a setting that I might have accidentally changed. But, as I said up there ^^, I've also played with only deaths on, and it jsut doesn't do anything. This has happened for months now, through all my saves since about the start of the year, if I remember correctly. On both Xbox One and PS4 now. I had one family on normal lifespan get to gen 4 with no accidental deaths. I have one now who is on short lifespan and is about three or four days after aging up to adult with no deaths. There's a new save from the other day on normal lifespan about two weeks in in-game and none there either.

Idk if this is accurate. I have 1092 sims in my save, NS stories isn’t taking them out anymore so the population is growing kinda outta control.
