Hi @Llandros2012 single sims will adopt children sometimes, but not as often as married sims.
Neighborhood Stories does not create boyfriend/girlfriend relationships or marriages. It creates first-date situations (via phone call) and if sims are already boyfriends/girlfriends then it can create engagements (also via phone call). But, couples who have gone on first dates won't progress to being together, and couples who are engaged won't progress to being married.
Visiting certain venues does affect the generation of new sims in the world. Like, if you visit parks, that will generate child and teen sims, and those sims will be generated in households with one or more parents. Visiting venues like that will help keep your town thriving. And then over time Neighborhood Stories may add more sims to those families.
Also, I've noticed that early on in a save, before there have been many deaths, there also are not many births. After deaths start happening, whether through NS accidental deaths or through NPC aging, NS is more interested in replenishing the population.
