I play families on rotation. For a while I had aging on for all households and I was hoping to see some story progression (I didn’t realize that wasn’t built into the game anymore)- like married couples having babies on their own, having a new romantic interest or a couple falling out with each other perhaps. Was hoping to see a sim promoted if I left them with the right qualifications for one. That didn’t happen, the most I’d see is a new enemy in their friends panel. It just aged them unnecessarily. So I turned off aging for the inactive households that I play.
From what I have read about MCCC, that’s MUCH more story progression than I am looking for. And I get enough notifications as it is, I don’t care to have any more.
I have been thinking about doing a die roll before I play a family - for instance, if I roll a 1, I might have someone start an affair. Maybe 2 would be to have another baby. Lots of possibilities there to help shake things up. Maybe try setting up something like that.
