New Update: Neighborhood Stories

Well, this came sooner than I expected. I am so happy that we now have actual story progression, I was so tired of getting calls every day from people I didn't know. :cold_sweat:

Can't wait to see what part 3 of this will bring.

Wow! This is even better than I was hoping! I was most concerned about being able to shut it off, but the customization they've given us is actually enticing me to try it in a new save.

Good job, Devs!

Looks good! I might even try out a few features myself.

Neighborhood death! >:)

The variety of scenarios are finally starting to sound interesting to me ? I like the mischief ones.

I am getting ready to update my game now. Thanks for this update and cannot wait to try this out.

heck **** YA! This update will be fun!
Sorry for cussing (even though it is censored), I cuss like a sailor scout, bad habbit! lol

Edit: I wouldn't mind if active households can progress on their own without me controlling it at all, but that probably will never be added to this game, would be fun though; watch your sims do everything on their own and see what kind of drama happens (excluding the build buy part; that will be player controlled), but I am asking for too much so yea. lol

I am mostly fine with what I got but I'd be shocked if the active households got story progression. lol

Edit 2!: It is possible to do that in sims 3 though.
Here is a link to the thread on how to do it.

There! I made a thread about it.

I'm pleased with the amount of customization that seems to be available, although I still have some trepidation about how well the toggles will actually work. I think I'm going to let other people test it out for a while before I open the game back up.

Well, this sounds impressive. I hope it all works how it's meant to.

It is great to see so many customisation options, this is just what we need. And I will be amazed if there actually is a difficulty level for the scenarios as that is something I expressed a desire for a while ago.

Sigh, I only just came on the forums and it's too late for me to play tonight. Gonna have to wait til after work tomorrow ?

I am positively surprised :)

Being able to decide things down to individual households, to decide how much I wish to be in control of different households, is great! I will not patch straight away, want to see how it works first and try to get an idea how I will approach this.

How I think that my rotational setup will be:
- Main family is all mine.
- The families that I usually rotate into will perhaps have the freedom to move around.
- Other families will have the freedom to move around, have careers any way they want.
- Haven't decided on how to deal with accidents and death yet. Probably turn it on for single sims when they turn adult. Just want to make sure that accidents won't leave a kid without parents in the household.
- I will handle the addition of all kids because making sims in CAS is fun.

This is perfect for me. I have about 30 families in one save and my one active household. This is really going to make my neighborhood come alive. Other than my family's relatives I don't much care what happens to the neighbors so I'm glad we have options for configuration.
