So this problem is in progress from year 2022? And still isn't any solution, only completely turn off neighborhood stories? Why is it in game, if it doesn't work correctly? I play on Playstation 4. I try get trophy "Legacy player" and "Alphabeth legacy"... but, problem is, that when I turned off option "Adopt child" in Neighborhood stories, my family members (I don't play activly with them, but I have them in world) still adopting children. I don't want a family tree with million members and it's annoying deleting sims in CAS - cuz loading is neverending when I go to Manage worlds.
Also, I find out yesterday that sims where I turned off option pregnancy, have a biological children. For me it means, that sim is infertile. But I was wrong.
As I write - I play on Playstation 4 so I don't have any mods. I have most of expansion packs - except For Rent and Horse Ranch.
And it still happens to this day. Ever since the update last week (September 2024), the entire game for me has gone to s**t. It took me over 3 days trying to get it fixed, and it still somehow enabled the stories and it's dumb shenanigans.
How it happened for me is, whenever I close the game, and play it again, random sims appeared and placed in lots ALL OVER THE WORLD. All these random townies, and pre-made maxis townies just living their lives when I don't even want them. The fact that even loading much older saves didn't fix it, I am very much inclined to uninstall my game forever. Fix your game, EA, or delete neighborhood stories, period.
