I have taken out the entire NS thing. I first tried it and found it way too much happening to too many households in a short time. It seemes exaggerated to me.

Yes, overkill comes to mind. EA always goes to the enth degree, when moderation is called for. Oh, well. Let's hope they find it in them to tweak it so that it's fun the way it was intended.

Have it off in my main save and only use it in some of the simmingal test saves

Neighborhood stories off should be default setting tbh

I like the option but it drives me insane how easy it is to accidentally destroy your save with it :sweat_smile:

I am so right there with you on your thinking @Simmingal

Sometimes I wonder if their intention is to make us all so disgusted with TS 4 that we will run to 5 with open arms. Problem is, the same company that is breaking 4 is the one that is making 5. Who says it will actually be better?

I don’t experience any problems with NS in my game, but I also play vanilla, don’t know if this may be the reason. Sims die from time to time, even boyfriend of my widowed legacy founder (climbed mountain after she refused to get married to him), but I think of this as “that’s freaking life”. Tragedies are happening and in my game they are not very excessive. I only disabled the “move out” option, because Goths could literally end up in the Strangerville trailer ?.

Only complain I have at this point is to add real marriage if two sims are getting engaged. Maybe invitation to the wedding would be next step, but I guess that’s something I will never see.

Weddings have been "improved" to a degree with MWS pack. Either the groom or the bride sets the date, place and time for the wedding. Best ask Sims to be Flower Pal, and Ring Bearer, plus Sims of Honor and the Officiant, if you desire one, ahead of setting the date on the calendar. As for receiving the invitation by other Sims, most do show up to the event. But, no, alas they don't get on in the mail, but that would be cool.

Yes, Sims do die randomly, it's true. But NS seems to accelerate it. If you don't untick that box, look out. I have lost important NPCs, in the game. Lost Thorne Bailey once. Just lost Holly Alto (although, she was married and went by a different last name). I would expect them to be exempted, you know, like Father Winter.

I have mine totally off on all my game saves.

Always turned off in my game. I prefer playing it my way ;)

Preach. I really wish story progression would have autonomous marriage for sims who are already engaged. It's annoying when someone calls my sim to ask if they should get married and my sim says yes, but I have to load into one of their houses to actually make the marriage happen. Unless the other partner is living with my sim, it's a hassle.

Mind you, I don't want autonomous marriage out of the blue for sims who aren't already engaged. Given how poorly tuned autonomous pregnancy and adoption is, I think autonomous marriage would be next level chaos.
