Neighborhood stories continue even though I have disabled them

I think the neighborhood stories fail was first report a little over a year ago and, as you said, I think the recent update really messed it up. My game now has pregnancies, new babies and divorces all over the place. I've had to delete the babies and reestablish several relationships (spouses, partner and siblings). It got to be so much I started a new save, which sucks because I was actively playing the messed up game.
