A bit off topic but how do those of you who do rotational play, do so successfully? I loved rotational play in the sims 2 because I could pick up where I left off but I've always been afraid to do so with the sims 4 and culling and all that and I want to do this vanilla if possible because I've played with MCCC before and more personality please mods but I get tired of having to check for updates with mods.
Let me also say I do love story progression, however not the default one from the sims 3 but how it's done with Nraas SP mod. If they added something like that I would be all over it or if It were something like the sims 2 and the attraction system with their own new spin on story progression that might suit 4 better as it's a closed world similar to 2.
Answering your question from my own rotational play, so not speaking for anyone else, I am comfortable with going into the settings. I turn the aging settings off or to "household only" a lot. I don't age my playables when I'm not there. Ok, recently, I did that accidentally, so now, when I switch households, I turn aging completely off for a few days to catch up. Generally, by correctly using the aging settings, everything is in synch.
I don't mind story progression for other people or in a different save but I don't want it forced on me. The game I'm playing now wouldn't work with story progression. No, I'm not just talking about the cult leader and the houses of his minions, though no, story progression wouldn't work there. Nothing happens without the dear leader. In my normal game, that would not work either.
I tend to find a stopping point before I switch. I don't really leave anything on a cliff-hanger for a household if I want to tie things up. My game is working for me though. Eventually, I might make more households unplayable in which case, maybe I'd have limited story progression. I prefer setting up my own game though rather than having everything randomized. I like the randomness to come from my own gameplay.
