Re: The Sims 4 - unactive households does whatever they want

@Kanelbullet (you just must have changed your avatar! 😇 ) What you can do is check in to all your families from time to time to keep tabs on them. When I do play with more than one family in a save, this is what I have to do. But I rarely play this way. 😳 But yes, it is best to play until a pregnant Sim has given birth, that way there is less of a chance of a pregnancy getting stuck! I've also heard that it is best to save your game at the time the game resets. I think it is 6:00 am, but I'm not sure. Perhaps @SheriGR can confirm this? 🤔 I think saving your game at this time is more important if you play rotation play like you do, and not so much for the way I usually play. 😉

Edit to add that I play with aging only on my current/active households, and I prefer to play on the Long Life setting! I haven't noticed anything too weird, but again I rarely play rotationally. I did have one teen with the Ambitious trait get a part time job when I was playing another family! 😃:eahigh_file:

@Kanelbullet @PugLove888 I heard that about the reset time (like for plants, etc.), but have never saved accordingly. I must say, I do always play a pregnancy and infancy through in a household through to toddlerhood or childhood better yet before moving on to play another of my households. I've never had a 'stuck' pregnancy or any issues doing it this way, but I can see how it could maybe get glitchy leaving them in a limbo at such an intense developmental time.
