Do you have NS enabled for your rotational households?

That's what got me. I just saw you can set it for each household. I went to an earlier save and got back my sim that died. The baby is still there for the other house, I can deal with that lol.

Glad you got it sorted out. Phew. While I do enjoy reading the tidbits of what's happening in other households (reminds me of the newspaper my Sims had to read to know what was going on in the world around them), I have lost more important NPCs than one can imagine. I just made certain to adjust the NS for the masses, and double-checked my played families, too.

Just turn off aging in the game options & select neither in CAS so they don't have babies.

I have my played sims set up exactly as I want for story purposes then I started getting notifications my sim died, my sim has another baby. She already has 2 toddlers and I didn't want the second but let it go and was in shock to see a 3rd baby. My friend told me to check NS for each house. That's what did it lol. Very, very strange deaths going on when checking the mailbox to see what's going on in the hood.

I don't know how to get rid of the 3rd baby. 2 tots and a newborn are a bit much for me. Love playing families but I space the kids out. I feel guilty for not wanting the 3rd baby lol.

I keep aging off most of the time because I get attached to my sims…. Lol. And in my rotational saves I have NS turned off. Though I can see playing a legacy ( or playing with one or just a few households ) with NS on, with it moderated a bit so not everyone is having babies or dying at the same time…. Lol. But, I have large rotational saves and most of my sims interact with other sims in the rotation most of the time.

You can set NS individually for each house, as you are.

Or you can go into Household Manager and do settings for all played households (My Households), and then settings for all Other Households. Note that these two are separate, even though they look like the same button in the interface.

Or you can go into Game Options and turn the whole system off, if you don't want it on at all.

@GalacticGal Yea about seeing what's up with other sims household's i like knowing that too. I think Ea should add a little box that appears when you hover over a family that tells you if they have a job or not, there relationships, marriages, as well as other information. This could help you know what to adjust in Neighborhood stories much faster and more efficiently. I write a lot of stuff down in a little note pad, like what gallery items i added and if I went into build mode and edited them, many houses don't have toddler beds, i like to add them.

@gbaisden I've had issues with neighborhood stories as well, and someone told me that it is glitched in some cases, for some people. And they suggested I go into options and turn it off. But I don't want to do that. I reinstalled everything not too long ago and its fine now.

I don't mind if they adopt a pet but having one baby after another was crazy and dying. I was in such shock lol.
