@Simmerville I have read some of your posts, and have to say I wouldn't have the patience, stamina or energy to keep up with such a system. I get overwhealmed just reading about it! :D Me, I'm just happy if the game is as hassle-free as I can get it. That's probably why I disable all the annoyances and features that most players don't mind and are not bothered by. I'm not min/maxing, but still would like things to be efficient and for sims to do what they are supposed to. Having a sim paint for the aspiration when in an inspired mood, then break it off to go play basketball, just because Rock your body is active, is not efficient to me. They will get plenty of time to work out, just not when they're doing something else.
The NAP's had been active for quite a while before I disabled voting for NPC's. I've only changed the NAP's in the 'hoods I'm most likely to visit, where I have sims I'm going to play anyway, which aren't that many to begin with in my current save. I'ts a pretty new one, testing out a template of sorts. My before-EL saves will hopefully not have problems, since voting will be disabled from the start.
