Oh, My Word, Say It Isn't So …

To be honest I have never thought of this as a problem since I never, ever, play rotationally. I only focus 100% on one household and the rest are just "movie extras" to me.
That's basically the way I play, too. The 'movie extras' part, that is. I generally start with a family. In this case it's my Cantrell family I created to help round out the character of my O/C for the mini-series in my siggie. But, I am glad to put them into their own households as the children are grown. Once in awhile, I'll remember to visit them to make any logical updates. Also, once I have things set, I put aging on for all.

Maybe it's from being mainly a TS2 player, or a part-time writer in control of his plots, or simply an official geezer who wants things his own way, but I find the TS4 penchant for unplanned surprises in unplayed sims a major downer. I expect things to happen in the course of gameplay, and the unexpected twists can often be taken advantage of. It's the 'I've not played you in 6 months, so what do you mean you now have two kids and another 'in the oven'?' that irks me.
I don't consider myself a geezer, even though I did turn 64 at the beginning of the month. :) I, too, am a writer who likes to control plots, but sometimes the craziness that goes on in this game (particularly the unplanned stuff) can make for a plot all by itself. That's when I decided to blog about my Global Superstar, in fact. What I didn't count on, was having the mod I use get completely broken with the StrangerVille patch. My bad, I had pulled my Mods folder prior to patching, but once I discovered MCCC was okay, I had what I used to call a 'Mad Hatter" moment and convinced myself that Road to Fame should be okay, too. Face/palm. The good thing that came out of my giant misstep was I learned from the creator he had an updated version of the mod. I installed it, but while the things that were broken in the older version of the mod were working, other things he had added were not. Long story short, it turned out not only was my game save corrupted, but my Sim, itself. :open_mouth:
It has taken me all of this time having to start fresh to get my Global Superstar back to where he was. Then of course, the new patch hit. This time I wasn't going to fool around. I pulled my Mods folder and returned nothing, until I got word deaderpool had a hotfix for MCCC. Then it turned out EA had something for us on Friday. That has fixed the broken strings in all of Sacrificial's mods, which includes Road To Fame.
