Neighbourhood stories so far seems like a strange feature. I've tested it out in a new save and I've had so many neighbours die, adopt kids/dogs (but not cats, strangely) and randomly move to other locations that I lost track of it all. It's a kind of chaos that's funny to me, but it can be very frustrating if you play with the entire neighbourhood, I'm sure.
MCC did come with an updated version right after the patch, so it's compatible again. I do find it odd that there's so many options in neighbourhood stories but not start a relationship. Maybe that'll get patched in later? I don't know. It's definitely a good idea to wait with your story until you've figured this new feature out fully though, yes. I'm not letting it touch my story save at all. Oh, the complete havoc it would wreak there. ?
