Re: Neighbourhood Stories Not Following Settings

Hey,

So I played a bit yesterday to let the game do it's thing.

It appears as though it's the randomly generated households that are moving in and automatically being granted permission to do weird stuff. 

I've not seen any changes with my main households, it seems to be all focused on sims that are being generated by the game and moving into lots by themselves.

Hmm!

The weird stuff to which I referred is what I was talking about in my original post. A ridiculous amount of pets, moving in / merging with existing households and becoming exempt from the NS rules (or so it seems).

I can't see where to change settings for 'other households' - that would solve all my problems I think!

1. Save your game if desired.

2. Press F5 and Just Go to Manage Worlds. (You can use the Manage Worlds button on the top right interface, or Manage Worlds from the Options Menu if you prefer.)

3. Click the Manage Households button on the top right interface.

4. Click the Other Households tab.

5. Click the Neighborhood Stories button to the far right of the tabs to Configure Neighborhood Stories for all households on that tab.

6. Use the buttons underneath each houssehold's portrait to give them individual settings.

7. Close Manage Households once you are finished to return to Manage Worlds.

8. Select the household you want to play and load that household.

9. Save your game. (Optional, of course, but strongly recommended unless you are just testing things.)

Thanks, I have already done that for the households I placed, but the randomly generated townies seem to have rules of their own!

If you look in Manage Households, the My Households and Other Households have two separate sets of Neighborhood Stories settings. They look like they would be the same, but they're not. Your game generated townies are underOther Households. Open up that tab then open Neighborhood Stories settings and you'll see their settings and be able to adjust from there. 

Households merging/marrying is from a mod, not from Neighborhood Stories. 

Perhaps that mod is also interfering?

Yes, the randomly generated townies do have rules of their own. That's why step 4 of the procedure I gave you was, "Click the Other Households tab." That's how you get to the second set of rules.
