I do hope this will not be the end to my 20 years long sims journey. I can't play with story progression, I prefer to make my own stories. Hopefully there will be a toggle...
I'm not 100% sure but wasn't there a toggle in Sims3 for that? Surely they'd give the same control to players, whether to have story progression on or off, in this one too? I would like story progression for some saves but not others.
ETA okay I clicked the link and read, and while they did mention the need to let people with long legacies still have a choice, instead of an on/off switch, they are doing it through gameplay, where neighborhood sims will call and pester your sims about the neighborhood sims' own life decisions, and the neighborhood sims will then abide by your sims' decision. So this sounds HORRIBLE. Being called up to be asked whether your neighbor should have a baby? And if you say yes or no, they'll do it that way? Can you imagine the intrusiveness of being asked to dictate others' lives like that constantly? That is annoying, intrusive, inappropriate, and WEIRD.
What were they thinking?! If someone I barely know called up to ask me if they should get married or get pregnant, I would be extremely uncomfortable and tell them that's not my business and to please not call me.
It also completely breaks immersion for those who want story progression, because you are never surprised by anything: all the neighbors call you up to consult you on all their major life decisions and do as you say. So you never are happily surprised to see a new child appear in a neighboring family, because they won't conceive without your personal input.
DISASTER.
And this can't be turned off? *facepalm*
