Life without MCCC Story Progression

Oh no, I wondered that myself. I had enough of EA story progression in Sims 3...Deaderpool is much better at it. I don't think I can play without MCCC. Hopefully the mod genius can figure out how to save us. :D

So, with the new update coming, I am curious to use it and block MCCC story progression. I guess my question is, what happens to townie sims when you keep aging on? I have never played this game without MCCC progression so I don't even know how it works. I have townie sims getting married and getting pregnant once a week. Without MCCC mod, single sims will just die alone? Bob and Eliza will never have a kid? child sims age to elder and stay in the same house and never marry or move? I literally don't know the answer to these questions. haha

This is correct. You would have to manually progress them. Toddlers are easy enough to create in CAS playing by genetics. Sims are also easy to move together, but to set the relationship you would need cheats. You could also add a spouse from gallery for example. I play without MCCC, but it's a big rotation with long lifespan, so things happen super slowly and I have time to adjust the townies if I feel I want to. Also I have so many own sims that I rarely care about the rest.

I'm pretty sure through out all version of the sims 4, townie won't get married on their own and have offspring (even with ECO lifestyle, the rate of you receiving the have baby phone call is still quite low.) And They also hardly move into empty lot outside of the world your active household are lived in. That's why people use MCCC to make sure there won't be ghost town and the Landgraab won't just die out after Michael get old.

Since the new update won't implement these two aspect of story progression, I believe the game after the first generation still wouldn't change that much.

I personally don't care for townies, so they can die unhappily without children in my game. The only sims I need is service people and I wish our playable sims could work as hirable maids, nannies and butler but then go home to their playable house after work.

ok last question - so again with keeping aging on, if all the townie sims stay in the house and die without marrying or procreating - then won't all the houses just be empty when the last townie baby becomes an elder and dies?

In vanilla, with filling empty houses clicked off, yes.

so yea, I don't think I want to lose MCCC story progression. I already prefer it to what EA is gonna give us. lol

It sounds like nothing will happen in the game unless you influence it to. I don’t think the EA story progression will be a good replacement for those that like to use MCCC story progression.

Not maybe in start, and if indeed off/on toggle , I will give it a shot. As once again, not all of us can/want to use mods.

This first version is definitely not going to do everything that MCCC does, but they did say that is going to change. My hope is something similar to MCCC but possibly a bit tuned down.
