I have a Important question about Neighborhood stories.

    Hello, I can't seem to find an answer on the web after doing a bit of research, maybe some of you guys can help me out.  When setting neighborhood stories, and you hover over an event say for example adopt a child; If the box is highlighted green that means it's on and can happen right?  And if it's white/grey/clear that means its off?  I'm pretty sure that green means it's on, but I'm not 100 percent sure so I'm turning to you guys for some help. 

    I've been having some issues with neighborhood stories where I turned everything off except Join a new career for every single sim in my game, and next time I checked my mailbox, people had died of random events, babies where being born/adopted etc. so it made me think that it's bugged, or maybe I'm doing it wrong.  Or the events occurred before I made the changes, and they were reported to me when I finally did check the mailbox.  I don't want to turn it off in options yet till I make sure I'm doing it correctly and/or if it's working correctly.  So, I'm not sure about it.  Thanks.

    @Thehiddenreturns    Hi!  What you described is accurate for how it's supposed to work.  Just to clarify, you have disabled the events in both your "My Households" and "Other Households", or you have disabled them for every household individually.  Is that correct?  I actually disabled NS pretty much as soon as it was added.  I too kept having issues with certain events happening even though I had disabled them.  I'm not sure if that has been addressed since there is an open bug report here...

    @JonaO703 Hey, thanks for your answer I read the thread and it does not fully match what I'm experiencing plus when I said I seen via mailbox that babies where being born and people where dying, it might have been that the event occurred before I changed the settings in Neighbour hood stories so I'm going to hold off on a decision till i find out more about what's going on.
