Optional genetic population progression: The hopeful answer to "No Story-Progression"
As this is my 20th post, I'm going to take a long break from making them after this goes up for the sake of other simmers, the gurus and myself.
With Story Progression being a delicate subject, one even the gurus are fearful of treading, I throw unto the universe the toggle for automatic population growth via a new toggle which could come in a large update: It does not affect sims in the same way to story progression, it requires permission via the simmer, it can be VERY selective, it can only be used on one neighbourhood, or household, again, depending on what you toggle. You can say one world is allowed to move forward whilst another stays barren, no children for one group while another is free to fill the land with their offspring.
Difference here being...it will not affect your sims path.
If you're a simmer who wants everything to be by their hand, just toggle off.
If you're a simmer who likes control but also enjoys giving their creations a little freedom, you can pick who gets to create and who doesn't.
If you're a simmer who just likes to throw caution to the wind and watch all plum break loose, you can enable complete freedom.
Yes, we could basically apply this to a sim's entire life, their job, their partners, we could have S.P without is technically being just that.
HOWEVER! for the sake of the constantly suffering gurus having to deal with our back and forth debacles, I present a compromise.
Enable the choice for our sims to procreate without our intervention, whilst allowing us to maintain some sort of control or total control, simply enable the options.
OPTIONS are key.
Now I know plenty of simmers will say this is basically story progression missing steps, and maybe it is, but I feel this is a more realistic reality for those of us who want to see our sims thrive without us playing a big role, or just for those of us who can't be asked to hand click every sim and make them do the dirty over and over until they get the music and telltale bump.
Give. Us. Options.
Welp, I'm going to play some Sims 4 and make my tragic painters life even more miserable than it already is, have a good night everyone and I'm sorry for all the spamming.
I'll still comment on posts, but threads won't appear from me for a good bit unless the matter is of life of death of the sims 4 importance.
Until then, Sul Sul
