The idea behind neighbourhoodstories is not a mistake because a part of the simmers out there is asking for story progression. The mistake is in the execution.
- it would have been better if they had waited and released a version with a toggle to start with. The fact that they released it half finished gives the impression that they want us to test it as beta testers
- this version is trying to find a sort of middle ground for those who want the feature and those who don't want it. For those who want story progression, the phone calls are unwanted because they like this system to work on it's own without asking permission every time. For those who don't want it, it is annoying to have to ignore the messages and click no every time. While trying to please two different ways to play the game at the same time, both sides didn't get entirely what they want. Hopefully the final version will correct this.
