Since i run MCCC most often these days, the answer is that it is always going, the modification does all your micromanagement as well, in effect it cheats for you by doing all the things you'd be doing over a longer duration anyway.
sometimes use money cheats to get a family to move into a building i've designed or one EA pre-designed, sometimes set a suitable career and promotions and skills appropriate to that. Game does this on its own sometimes outside the mod, but not often, i once saw Zoe Patel end up with the job of Scribe of some such and it was around §250 per hour, but lacked the skills to do the job. settign those skills helps with job performance and possible promotions, but more than anything a steady income to offset bills.
