Do you want story progression?

I think a Story Progression tab could be put in settings. Something like:
Townies build romantic relationships, get engaged and married. On/Off/Only Non-played Households
Townies will have children without player intervention. On/Off/Only Non-played Households
(Other options could be for affairs, and if a child is orphaned, if they have family members, they could adopt them.)
That way each player can customize how their story progression works.
