@EA_Cade Is the Neighborhood Stories System set to take precedence over the game options system?
If the option to "replenish vacant houses" is turned on, but the Neighborhood Stories System is set to "off" regarding moving, no one will move into an empty house. Conversely, if the option is turned off but the Neighborhood Stories System is on, people are moving in.
If only one of the settings is enabled, i.e. only Neighborhood Stories System, I don't think it makes sense to have the same setting item in two places.
Is this because we are in the process of preparing to add something new in the future?
I wasn't sure where to put this, but I think it hits on a question about the system, so I put this here.

The Sims TeamHi @Pick-a-boo_doo,
Good catch. The check box under Options > Gameplay was meant to be removed when Neighborhood Stories was released, since it does indeed replace the functionality of the button.
This will be updated in a future release.
CM Edit: This change rolled out in the 4/26 patch.
