Micromanaging all the towns...

Do you guys use NPCCC? How else do you keep your background population from changing so much?

I feel like a spreadsheet wouldn't work so well for me because I use MCCC to boost my background population.

I haven't played for a very long time. I am wondering, with this rotational type play, if ageing is on, do they just age or do they have children, progress and all that as well? What is the usual thing to do now, ageing all off, or adjusted to 'just this house' each time and off again before leaving ... something like that?

@elanorbreton How did you get the neighborhood tabs listed like that (the black\gray tabs)? I know how to add sections and pages to a tab but can’t figure out how to get a list quite like yours. So for example, I could create how you have your Willow Creek set up, but I can't figure out how to have any other neighborhoods as well. I’m sure I have a different version than you as mine looks a little different. Maybe in mine I can’t have it laid out quite the same.

I think I’ll have to create new notebooks to be the different neighborhoods instead of having it all listed together.

@juliekaye I believe I made that OneNote in the 2013 version. You could right click a section and select 'make new section group'. I think they have taken away that option in more recent versions though :(

Might be a bit off topic and i appologise. I micro manage my game. I keep hearing good luck restore the flame from my sims. Does anybody know how to do this?

I've just been building, putting families in and decorating my houses lately and not 'playing' the game the game at all. I just went back to a family view and found half of them out all around the worlds. They seem to have been living their own lives whilst I've not been looking at them. It's all getting a bit creepy. :#

@elanorbreton Thank you - yeah, right clicking doesn't bring up any kind of option like that. That's too bad.

And I thought my 100 Baby Challenge household with 8 Sims all the time was a lot of work ...

I've filled all my worlds now with houses and families and now I find most of the families are visiting the swimming baths in Windenberg. I just wish there was a way of going to it without having to load a family and seeing what they are all getting up to there. Some of them have left their kids alone at home too! :o I'm starting to feel they don't need me at all.
