Rotational play struggles

I play rotationally as I like to have sims in different worlds and on different lots at the same time who know each other and who I all play. This means that it is absolutely impossible to keep track of all sim's birthdays, homework, attending to school, work etc. I often see a sim being sad because of a missed birthday celebration. Please let the sims take care of ALL things when the household is not actively played with, also birthdays. I know we get a notification 2 sim days ahead that it's soon someone's birthday but it's still too many to constantly attend to. It's not fun to  often have to switch to the household where someone should be celebrated. Why can't they live their life as usual when we don't play them?

Another huge struggle is to dress everyone of my currently around 200 sims nicely as they grow up and need a new set of clothes, so they end up with random clothes which looks terrible. I have mentioned this before in other posts, that it would be very helpful for rotational players to have a possibility to save sets of clothes so that we can easily pick previous combos from some catalogue system, preferebly from the dressers/wardrobes. Currently as it is, I spend too much time in CAS. CAS is fun, but spending too much time with it, takes the fun out of it.

Also, don't let the Nanny leave a household until we are back playing it again, as this can lead to that social services takes the kid if the parents leave the lot. Let it be a permanent contract, just like the maid, butler, gardener and ranch hand. A contract that we have to actively end, not that suddenly ends automatically after a certain time. If all kids in a household become teenagers, the Nanny contract should end automatically though as teens don't need nannies, so that we don't have to keep track of that too.

Please support us rotational players as the game is built to be played with many households in many towns. Why play only one household at a time? I guess also non rotational players would find it useful to be able to save favourite outfit combinations, am I wrong?

    @NennaRC Me too 🙂

    Great idea to have saved outfits. It could work similarly to Styled Looks in CAS. It'd be also helpful to be able to favorite CAS items and filter by favorites. This would save so much time.

    A reoccuring Nanny is another good suggestion, would love this option.
