@Poochie0055 I merged this with the main thread but to be sure, you don't have any mods that have their own story progression (like MCCC) that could be the cause for the moving in ?

    I haven't had time to test it without mods.  And I'm too invested in my modded save file... Yes, I have MCCC, but it was not an issue for me until I updated my game with latest patch and installed For Rent expansion.  Or maybe it's related to my sims traveling to the magical realm.  It didn't happen last night when I played and didn't travel there.  Fingers crossed.

      @Poochie0055 Check the settings for MCCC Story Progression if you have anything set to on with moving in. Personally not using the mod so I can't tell you where those settings would be.

        @crinrict I have a save that I play with MCCC and have had problems with story progression being active despite being unchecked. This did not happen before the For Rent patch/installation. It is a new thing, and very annoying, since I have to keep moving sims back into their homes and undoing marriages I did not want to happen.

        The only option for MCCC concerning story progression is whether or not you want the mod to override settings IF you have story progression activated. It is a yes/no choice of override or not. If story progression is not activated, then MCCC does nothing. It cannot make something happen by itself. I have never enabled the mod override, so MCCC is and has always been inactive concerning story progression in that save.

        I did notice that some of the story progression choice boxes were highlighted by default, whether or not the box was checked to enable story progression. I undid the highlighting, so when I play that save where I use mods, I will take note whether changing the status of the choice boxes makes a difference. But it really should not matter, technically, if the story progression has not been enabled at all, to begin with.
