HELP: Tips For Rotational Play
Hello my favourite Sim Community! 👋🏻 I’m looking at ways to spice up my game-play and revolutionise the way I play Sims and I’ve been considering the notion of rotational play on a large scale li...

I use MCC which is also great for rotational play. It allows you to pause pregnancies so your sims don't have babies while you are playing another family. I also keep aging on for only the played household, so my other 'played' families don't age unless I am playing them. To keep the townies and unplayed on the same lifecycle, I turn aging on for unplayed once per rotation and I rotate that amongst my families each cycle so one of the played families doesn't always have to deal with the death notifications.
I used to rotate on Monday mornings at 2am, but with university I have changed that to Friday's at 4:59pm. Apparently if you do this your sim won't get low marks and it won't mess up their admittance. My first sim is currently going through university and I haven't yet rotated back to him to see if it worked, but others say it will. I have also decided to turn his aging off when I play him at university every second time to try and maintain some of his young adult life upon graduation.
The one thing I have noticed about moving my rotation to the Friday's is that now my celebrity sims no longer win awards, as the rotation time of Friday PM to Sunday awards is so short and the game doesn't remember they wrote an award winning book the last time I rotated through. Does anyone have some ideas to fix this issue? It's almost like you either rotate to manage university, or rotate to make the awards happen.
