Do You Care About Your Townies' Legacy?

Yes I do care.
I'm playing with ALL premade families and marriages between wealth families are always happening.
For example, Cassandra Goth is having 5 girls and 2 sons with Malcolm Landgraab.
One girl is going to marry Judith Ward's son.
One girl is going to marry Victor Feng & Lily Feng's son.
One boy and Morgan Fyres have engaged.

For occults families, I want to keep their bloodline.
Therefore, Darrel Charm & Emilia Ernest's daughter will marry Morgyn Ember's son (yes I have enabled his "ability" to father female).
Caleb Vatore's son will be arranged to marry another female vampire.

I used to set the family as un-played after playing it for a while.

Because of this reason, the total population in my save is now 521...

@Simmerville Wow! 120 households?! That's really impressive. I'm just playing 1 household. :D

@chonkie I made my own save file and added my own townies to the world. It's probably why I tend to be a bit more invested in them. I would sometimes spend hours in CAS making families and creating their backstories. I think making a starter save and adding all of my own characters was definitely worth the time spent. Good luck on yours!

@HopeyStarr I love checking family trees! Seeing who's related to who is always interesting.

@Elliandre I wish we had town gossip!

@imhappy I understand wanting to manually decide who gets with who and so on. There have been times in my game where I see two people interacting and I'll play matchmaker and marry them off manually. Sometimes, even if MCCC married off a couple, I'll intervene and divorce couples. There is a setting in MCCC that allows breakups to happen, but even at the lowest settings, I feel like too many couples were breaking up.

I play on custom settings (I try to make it ultra long) so each generation takes months IRL. Don't worry how long it takes, just enjoy the ride. <3

@Arca I really love the idea of keeping the bloodlines for occults. I don't necessarily mind occults marrying the human Sims when they are in my game, especially spellcasters since they have the bloodline trait. It gives me some ideas of a Sim wanting to learn more about their ancestors. Like a Sim who is drawn to Sulani and the ocean, only to later learn their ancestors were mermaids.

Can I ask how you set MCCC to alert you of those events? So I can also get notifications?

My understanding of the question is: "Do you care?"
Not: "Do you micro-managed them?"
:p

@LynnPlayz1 On a computer, click MC Command Center > MCCC Settings > Notification/Console/Menu Settings > Notification Settings. From there, you can customize which notifications you want to see.

@Admiral8Q Yes, that's true. Some people care but maybe they don't want to micromanage the NPCs. Some people care and want to be involved in their NPCs lives. Some people don't care about NPCs at all. It's really fun reading how we all play the same game so differently.
