I don't like putting mods in my game on account of technical issues I've had in the past with them, but I really miss story progression. I see a lot of people like the mod while others have varying opinions. So I was wondering from those who are like me about being sceptical with mods that have given the MCCC Mod a chance if it's worth trying out.

I'm very skeptical about using mods, but I think you should give MCCC a try.I must confess I don't use it a lot. In fact, I disabled it and completely forgot about it, so I don't miss it much...but I suppose that all comes down my style of gameplay and that I am not used to using it. However when I did use it was not too bad. It caused no technical issues for me (I use a Mac though), and it was fun to play about with. Maybe give it a try? :smile: It is one of those mods that you can use as little or as much as you wish.Maybe some other Simmers can give you a better run down of the benefits of this mod. :smiley:

If you want story progression, yes it's worth it. But it's not a drop-in-and-go mod: you really do need to read about what the settings do as it WILL change your town. I suggest creating a test save and having a play around for a couple of Sim weeks until you're happy with what the mod is doing. Personally, I don't think I could play without it now.

I was initially skeptical about using it, but installed it last month and absolutely love it! It's great to see my townies getting married, having children, etc. And some of the sims I've created but have let roam free have gotten married too. Usually I'd just let them stay in my 'my households' tab, but I've started marking the families as unplayed when I'm no longer interested in playing them, and there have been some interesting match-ups. I think you should give it a try, it's a great mod.

I love the mod. You can change up so many settings in the mod and there’s so many options to chose from. I had the mod for three years and I just recently realized I can set the days I want a certain life stage to be instead of having to go off of the base days. Really happy about that and I can change the pregnancy duration and occult stuff and turn risky woohoo for more realism it’s perfect. Trust me sometimes MCCC do piss me off especially when it ruins my ideal story when I’m not playing with a certain household. But I fixed that in the settings so everything you might think you won’t like it or will love you can change those settings. It’s the best and I suggest getting it.

I tried using the NPC vendor mod bcuz it annoys me that we can't have a vendor for stalls without paying for it on a publicly built lot. I couldn't figure if I just missed something in the download but I couldn't get it to work and then bar tenders didn't show up to other lots. I do want story progression bcuz in my legacy play I want other members in the family to continue on istead of just exist and die off bcuz I didn't pick them to be the heir. It would be interesting to see how siblings or other relatives play out.

I've heard so many people having problem with it that I decided not to try; and it is difficult to install and use.

It’s not difficult it seems like it would be cause at first it can be overwhelming but it’s not. Just download it, unzip it, and place it in your mods folder.

How does story progression work with this mod?
I was reading through the Mod and I don't really want all of these. I just want Sims in the town to continue to live their lives and relationships continue to grow. If I'm making any sense.

If that's all you want, I'm not sure you need MCCC. If you want them to actually get married and/or have children, you need MCCC.

You definitely need the core MCCC mod and also the pregnancy module (which includes marriage functions). Typically you get everything in one archive, so if you don't want any of the other modules, just don't extract them.

Absolutely. It has transformed my game. I wouldn't still be playing if I didn't have it.
