Does Seasons mark the beginning of story progression?

I would love a story progression as that is what makes things fun when not playing with sims. Maybe make it an option where we can turn it on or off. I read that they discuss the idea all the time, so hopefully it will happen soon. For now I use MCCC mod the as it is the closest thing we got to Story Progression.

Problem with mods is that they break and can even mess up a game. Some never get fixed at all and while some are fun and modders are appreciative, we also shouldn't have to rely on mods for some basic features.
