NPCs Marriages are wild

One of the new updates is NPCs can get married and have kids by themselves and I'm LIVING for it. Usually, my sim goes and date Don Lothario for a bit but (in my game) he moved out of the Caliente house and married someone called Sara. Akira Kibo also got married and I'm now best friends with his wife who is now pregnant with twins. For some reason it's the NPCs are growing up and becoming real people :smiley:

Thoughts?

Hugh? Since when can sims in TS4 even do that?

I think you downloaded a mod that allows story progression. MCCC maybe?

I love MCCC! It's great seeing who the townies interconnect with esp when a Landgraab marries a Bailey or a Goth and I'm busy tracking them down to see who is whose relations lol.

@M_Valentine22
I use MCCC as well and love the story progression that comes with it. The results are sometimes awesome, sometimes confounding and always interesting! Before TS4 was released, I was on baby #33 of a 100 Baby Challenge in TS3. I used Twallan's mods and his story progression made my story so much more interesting than it would've been because of the relationships it formed with NPCs. For example, my primary sim, Jill, who was the Mom in the story, had a lot of ex-boyfriends in town (as you would imagine with a 100 Baby Challenge). To make room in the house for new babies, Jill had to kick her eldest kids out once they became young adults. Then Twallan's mod had free reign to set up relationships for the grown kids.

When I went to check on how the grown kids were doing, I found one of the daughters was pregnant by her boyfriend. So, Jill became a grandmother (without my intervention). Another one of her daughters was in a relationship with one of the mother's ex-boyfriends. :blush: I would've never dreamed of doing that on my own, but it added a lot of drama to the story. I won't play the Sims without my mods because I love the unexpected drama that their story progression provides. The towns are much more vibrant because people get together, have kids, etc. As you said, they become more like real people! :smile:

I guess I had a lot of thoughts. LOL.

MCCC married Mila Munch and Don Lothario. All I could think was "yikes."

The first time I got MCCC I had no idea what all the settings did. The next day I got notifications of 20 couples marrying. There was barely any singles left in the town, I had to redo the settings ? the couples were weird as hell too, elders marrying young adults

MCCC likes to set up Judith Ward with Don Lothario in my game. It's hilarious!

At one point, MCCC made one of my Sims pregnant with Pierce Delgato's baby (he was a YA and so was she). When I went to move him in to their house and get them together... I'd discovered he'd already married Judith Ward.

It set Vladislaus Straud up with Marcus Flex at least twice. One time they only got married after Straud had had a child with both Summer Holiday and Liberty Lee.

@QueenMercy, this cracked me up! I guess some things are just meant to be. :D

MCC is not for me. I don't play with aging on so don't care about progression on npc's. Mostly, I delete them or at the very least send them to the not in world bin. I work my game as playing the whole world and how I choose for them to be a part of each other's lives and the direction I think for them when I create them.

I couldn't stand it if the game messed that up. This is an ongoing save. I make the sims I want to be there for each other when I choose to play that particular angle of my game dependent on the content that comes out. A lot of my sims are still waiting for THEIR content to shine with. So no. I would be upset if the game played them without me.

No to SP. I suppose I would feel different if I only played one household. But I don't. I play the whole world.
