At first Neighborhood Stories sounded like a way for EA to enhance gameplay. However, it appears this new feature has not been play tested at all.
For example, after playing the game for a short time, I discovered that every town sim and/or their families had a lot of brown (?) newborn babies along with toddlers and pets in their household. While I expected to hear about some changes. I didn't expect this kind of extreme change. Some households had almost three newborns at once. All of which would be unrealistic in real life.
So thus far, it has definitely made gameplay worse as I had to click on all these households and try to delete all these unwanted additions. Btw, you can't delete the newborns in CAS and still not sure if it worked since after I disabled the feature for all households, I got another message that mentioned how the Delgato family in Brindleton Bay recently added more babies to their household, lol.
Let's hope EA fixes this as I'm starting to think this whole concept already needs a lot of tweaking or overhaul.
Too many brown babies for you, huh? Just...wow. FYI, that's a game bug that's been around for a good while now that has nothing to do with Neighborhood Stories.
Neighborhood Stories DOES NOT need to be tweaked, overhauled, or nerfed in any way. I have too many babies and pets in my game now due to MY neglecting to adjust settings to where they needed to be. I think we're all on a learning curve right now. When I turn NS back on, I'll be more wise about how I adjust the settings.
Too many things get nerfed in this game because of a vocal minority squawking for it when it's actually their own ignorance that caused the issues.
First off, you cannot assume what is in your game is what is going on in others. And no, dear. No one reported this problem until now. Otherwise, show me proof where that is true here in the forum. Second, no one is "squawking" about anything. If you were intelligent enough, you would realize this is a valid discussion that the majority of players (including on other forums like reddit, Youtube), that others are having with this game as a result of this new feature, "Neighborhood Stories".
Btw, it's a shame others can't bring up a problem with the game in a civilized way only to get insulted by those who don't want it discussed, lol. Nevertheless, we the majority will continue to bring up issues in the game that we find worthy of discussing here. Whether you are comfortable with it or not.

That bug has been around for a year now.
I do agree neighborhood stories is overkill on the adoptions and deaths though. It's why I turned it off. Personally I think they should cut the amount in half if not more.
