How do you deal with Neighbourhood Stories?
This feature is frustrating for me. I want my game to have story progression because I can't manage going into every single household in the game and create storylines for each sim and make them marr...

I always disable move out, adopt a child and leave a career. First and the last messes with pre made sims (Goths leaving their mansion, Victor Feng becoming a cook etc.).
The adopt a child option adds ridiculous amount of random townie kids in my game, literally they will adopt until household can’t accept any more sims. I let them have pregnancy babies for about 2 in-game weeks (that adds bunch of new borns, usually Bjergsen household and Goths are racing each other, Bheeda household also ends up with about 4 babies). Then I switch this off because enough is enough lol ?. I would keep all the kids options if it worked well, as it is now it’s just filling houses without any reason so I don’t like it.
I keep death by accident, although it did kill few sims I like (Wolfgang from Werewolves pack is a good example), but I treat this as a life challenge. Sad things are part of being alive. But in my experience this feature is not as crazy as adopting and getting pregnant. Other options are fine, few new neighbors arrive from time to time, older sims retire and that’s it.
I hear and understand what you're saying, however, I did allow for deaths when NS first dropped. What I didn't anticipate was losing key NPS from Get Famous getting themselves eliminated! I lost Dirk Dreamer, first to that horrible bowl of cereal explosion (Rice Crispies, anyone?). Then Thorne Bailey retired to become a Stay at home dad. Shortly after that he flat out died. He drowned from never having the swimming lessons advised. Face/palm. My Sim was a neighbor. He knew these Sims, since he was also in the 'business'. The Starlight Accolades Show has never been the same without these two iconic celebrities.
