@Amapola76, turn it off with the button at the top right corner for "My" and "Other" households. Then you can still edit individual households to enable it just for them. The game options global toggle is just that, fully global.

@FatTribble23, I have elders set to be automatically moved into the homeless population by MCCC, so all elders are in 'elderly' households which it creates. I have the adding and adopting of babies turned off for these households. The only elders I have not going into these households automatically are the ones for "played" households, for which I have the stories turned off completely.
I figured neighborhood stories wouldn't differentiate them in any way unless I made a point to make sure it did.

Has anyone seen if the "move in" and "move out" options together splits up households? Like when teens grow up, do they move out on their own?
I'm curious if it actually does a decent job of having a move-in feature, or if it is just a fancy shell game with sim households as the bean and homes as the shells.

I’m fidgeting with my settings as I play rotationally while setting up my base/AU save. So here’s a few things that I do.
I have specific settings for played households, each is different. For example Bob and Eliza adopted a cat (I gave them my own CAS version of Iggy) so I turned off the adopt pet feature. Now the only option selected for them at the moment is “can retire” but, Eric and Alice can only retire or have a baby and once they have a baby, I’ll turn that option off and add “adopt a cat/dog” on my next rotation back to them. Once my sims complete a goal I’ve set for them, I remove that option.
The Sages and Father Winter have all options turned off.
Households that I haven’t rotated to yet only have the option to join a career. Everything else is turned off until I play the household. If I don’t like the career or they didn’t pick one, I choose it and then turn off that option for them.
I set death by accident to Vlad only. I plan on using it for other households but for now, he’s the only one that gets that honor…I think he might still be alive. Don’t quote me on that.
I have also turned it off for these sims. I don't want them to loose their special roles because they move into a house. I find it odd that the system is by default enabled for these special sims. Are there any other sims that loose their role if they move into a lot.

@Amapola76, the botton appears on each household before you click on them, in the "manage households" interface. it is right next to the heart button that can be used to send them back and forth between "my" and "other" households.
Picture is worth a thousand words, the button in question which appears at both the top and on each household within manage households; follow the yellow arrow:

Thanks, the pictures definitely helped.
It also doesn't work at all the way I would have preferred. I was hoping for something more like the Fame system, where you can turn it off globally and then still edit individuals. So I had gone into options as soon as I opened the game, and turned off the global toggle for Neighborhood Stories. But then there was no option to turn on individual households in Manage Households, which is why the buttons weren't originally showing up for me. So I had to turn the global option back on, and then the buttons appeared so that individual households could be edited.
I really don't love that they set it up that way. The only small mercy is that at least it was defaulted to off for "My Households." However, I play rotationally, and I have a LOT of households, which means that there are several that I rotate in and out of "My Households" and "Other Households." So it's going to take hours to get it set up to the point where I feel comfortable playing my main save without worrying about what will happen to all the households I care about. Thankfully, I only opened it up today because the kids are all off doing their own things this weekend, so for once I have the house to myself and can do whatever I want. :D
