I also just realized: that's a way to 'add story progression' without actually adding it. Because without story progression, you can still micromanage and dictate all the NPC's life decisions. This way, you still have to do that, but instead of doing it by going into those households, your Sim gets called on the phone and asked to be the decision-maker for other people's important private decisions, all the time.
This is actually way worse than no story progression at all.
And this actually already happened once in my game recently but I had assumed it was part of the only mod I was using, but apparently not: a high school student's school counselor, called him up to ask him if she should have a baby. It was weird but I thought why not see what happens so I said yes. She gushed with thanks at being told what to do with her life by a teen. She was sick at the school mod, a few times, but then aged up to elder and I guess that meant she wasn't pregnant any more, and she died not long after. Or maybe she had the baby and then aged up and died that fast? I never knew anything more except she aged up, then died.
But that would mean this was happening in my game before they released it. Still, it hasn't happened since, and so maybe it was like that glitch where all the scenarios were visible for a day, before going back to only the ones they wanted to show?
I remember thinking it was kind of weird that she'd even ask that but if that's what is going to happen all the time in the game, I think I'll go back to playing Sims3 exclusively, where Story Progression happens and adds to my game but not by making my Sims responsible for personal decisions of everyone else they know.
