Can't turn off story progression

Can't turn off story progression, and I want it off.

Neighbourhood stories are off. In the main menu I've set autonomy off (auto-age is also off). And yet: suddenly some sims have babies (why?) with stupid names (again: why?) and if I return to a previously played household, they have messed up their job, grades (children), relationships, and all kind of other stuff. It is very annoying. What setting am I missing? Why can't I turn that annoying story progression thing off?

  • @Karen_8354 I take it they weren't pregnant when you switched ?

    Even without Story Progression, relationships and other things can change. Sims 4 isn't static when you don't play families.

    Did you not have this happening before ?

    If you click on Neighborhood stories on the mailbox, does it give you the babies being born ?
  • @Karen_8354 A couple more things to recheck. Neighborhood Stories can be set separately for your households and others. Did you check both tabs in Manage Worlds? Also, do you have any mods that affect story progress, like MC Command Center?

  • @crinrict For quite a while it was manageable, and I could blame it on "it was 2pm when I moved family A in with family B whom I left at 8pm so yeah it makes sense no one went to school/work though it is annoying". Lately, though, it has gotten more and more annoying. To the point where I can't switch families at all. Because coming back usually means job is screwed up, grades are way down, someone has cheated, and somehow there's a baby with a stupid name.

    And yes, I don't switch when a sim is pregnant.

    Neighborhood stories in all worlds and all households are off. Clicking on neighborhood stories gives nothing. No events at all.

    @Karen_8354 If you have no events at all on neighborhood stories, then the babies came for somewhere else.

    Do you have the same issues with babies being born with no mods/cc ?
