So the culling system is becoming a problem again but with NS this time, oh great, perhaps something needs to be done about the culling system, NS is fine for me. I'd say scrap the culling system since NS has a accidental death system applied to it, that there is the new culling mechanic, having the accidental death feature + the culling mechanic applied at the same time can be a bit concerning, I have noticed some of the sims in my game getting culled aka calling my household telling me that they are living outside the grid then vanishing forever sort of deal. Like 2 culling mechanics are in the game now, the old culling system is now obsolete, I prefer the NS accidental death feature over it.
As for the life events phone calls; I wish there was an option to increase the frequency for that because I find that to be useful for my household sims and other stuff, like one of my household sims asked if they can get prego and I said yes and they autonomously whoohoo'd their spouse in the active household (I was mainly controlling one sim when this was going on, reincarnation challenge rule) and got prego, I was glad that they did that without me having to manually do it because they wanted to do it themselves without me having to actually control em, OR we can later have em story progress without the phone calls in the future? (optional feature) lol
Edit: Or set the cull system to only cull when the game is at population cap.
I usually put my population settings to unlimited since I like to overpopulate my game, more sims the merrier. :)
