Question about Neighborhood Stories and Auto Age
I've asked chat GPT about this topic and I want to know if this is correct:
Question:
How do Neighborhood Stories behave if we disable aging for families that are not currently being played? Do Neighborhood Stories keep working? Will Sims still move, marry, change jobs, etc., without aging happening?
Answer:
Yes! If you disable aging for families that are not being played, Neighborhood Stories will continue to function normally. This means Sims will still be able to:
✅ Move to new lots or even leave the neighborhood.
✅ Get married to other Sims.
✅ Have children (through adoption or pregnancy, depending on the settings).
✅ Change jobs or even retire.
✅ Die from accidental causes (if this option is enabled in Neighborhood Stories).
What does not happen in this case is natural aging. So, even if they start a family or advance in their careers, Sims will remain in the same age group until you decide to enable aging again or manually age them up.
If you want more control, you can customize which Neighborhood Stories events you want to enable/disable in the menu: Manage Worlds > Neighborhood Stories.
Question:
If Sims have children, since there is no aging, will the pregnancy never result in birth? Or will the newborn be born and remain in that life stage forever?
Answer:
Great question! If aging is disabled for Sims that are not being played, pregnancy will still progress normally. In other words, a pregnant Sim will give birth after three days of pregnancy, regardless of the aging settings.
However, the baby will not age up automatically because aging is disabled. This means they will remain in the newborn stage forever until you play with that family and manually age them up (by clicking on the crib and selecting the "Age Up" option) or change the aging settings.
Are these statements correct?
