How to stop the game from changing families relationships etc when I don't play?

Hello everyone. First of all sorry for my grammar / english mistakes as I'm not a native english speaker; I've been playing the Sims since the Sims 1 when I was a kid. I had all of them : the Sims ...

@Yisabeila69 Okay, that's a lot of information 🙂

I take it you'd like it if nothing happened to your sims while you're not there?
You have 2 things that can cause sims to do things independently.
One is neighborhood stories. This can be turned off completely in your gameplay settings (or turned off/set manually for played and unplayed households separately in manage households)
The other is MCCC Story Progression, included with the mod you have there. That one can override neighborhood stories and cause sims to do all kinds of stuff.

When both are turned off completely, does this still happen? (You can always take the mod out and check the game to see if it still happens)

Hi 🙂

Thank you so much for answering that quick !

Unfortunately as I said I already turn off completely the "stories" thing in both "My Sims" and the unplayed households... They are still moving / divorcing etc but the weird thing is that parental links are changing.. that's what bothered me the most. 2 random Sims from different worlds that never met became suddenly brothers etc. 

I check the mod related to the story progression and I found stuff that can help stopping them from moving etc. thank you about that ! But nothing related to the family link bug that I seem to have... Maybe it's the use of the mod itself that lead to that weird anomaly...

    @Yisabeila69 I think the fact that you used MCCC already to create the relationships may have caused both issues.

    The first is related to it's story progression (which overrides neighborhood stories), the last maybe because you very extensively used it to set family relationships. I can't say for sure though, I have never used it like that 🙂

      @DeanXeL Yep that's probably because of it...

      Thanks for your help 🙂
