So I recently installed this mod in sims 4 to test it out and see what you can do with it. I have to say it has saved the sims 4 for me. The story progression has given the game a bit more depth and immersion. Before building relationships and leaving the house felt like a bit of a chore, felt pointless when all the other sims in the game never progressed or changed besides getting older. Now your sims friends will possibly get married, have kids etc It makes the game feel more alive and the other sims around more like characters in a story rather than a bunch of reacting pixels. For the first time I can say I'm enjoying playing the sims beyond 15 minutes of playtime. I enjoy going to community lots more and making friends for my sims feels like it has a purpose. It's added a sense of realism in the game that was really lacking, it has helped the world feel a little more open and made story telling more interesting.So big props to the creator of this mod and I'd recommend it to anyone who is not enjoying the sims 4/ feeling its lacking. The game still has problems, and is still lacking many features for me but it has made the game more enjoyable for now at least. What I don't understand is, Story progression is obviously possible in this game, so why is it not part of the game to begin with or added in as update? I just assumed it wasn't possible on the sims 4 engine. It's mad that this was introduced by a modder (for free!) rather than the creators of the game itself.

MC_Command Center is the best. i have to agree. I can't imagine playing Sims4 without it.I love the population control. I love the moving of unplayed sims into houses, letting them get married and have children. He does a fantastic job with that mod and keeps it up to date with all the latest patches/releases as well.

It's really a amazing mod, isn't it? It's also great to keep your save clean and free of bugs, freezes and what not, by cleaning townies relationship panels, ghosts. I can't live without it.About the story progression, I heard it's the way the game was intended to be, so you could play rotationally in a Sims 2 style. Some choice would be good however.(I love your avatar pic!)

I forgot to add the move out elders and puts them in a 'retirement home'. No more single elders just taking up houses for families to move into.

This mod is definitely a life-saver! :) I love watching the town grow along with my sim's family.

I won't play the game without the mod. I love it.

I should say as well, I'm running my game on a MacBook pro. Nothing special in terms of gaming. The story progression runs fine on my game, I haven't had any issues. So it can't be because EA wanted to make this game budget PC friendly as possible. (I know a MacBook pro isn't budget friendly but its not build for gaming and there is not a lot of games I can run on it)

In TS3, one of the biggest simmer ~~requests~~ demands was for story progression to be gone. I really don't get it. This, for me anyway, was more upsetting that the loading screen thing and no toddlers put together.

I use MC as well but chose not to use story progression since that ruins my collective story.

For some of us the absence of story progression is a feature :smile:

I refuse to use MC Command because I DON'T want SP in my game and I'm glad to play without it being a "feature". It was what ruined S3 for me.

As an non-story progression person, I find it useful for *undoing* SP in the game. It now has a way to stop career changes for nonplayed Sims, for example (which means I can leave them more open to relationship culling, since that hits nonplayeds more than playeds, and I do notice the performance difference in load times). It makes it quick to forget Sims completely from the relationship panel when I rotate and find inappropriate-in-my-opinion new relationships at that almost-50% level.

Don't worry, no one is asking you or forcing you to use it....you don't need to refuse :)

I would never activate story progression in MCCC, I use the mod for other things. Story progression is not mandatory in MCCC, it is an option that you have to activate for it to start running. I play the game rotational with an large number of households, no story progression. Below is the list that I use MCCC for. I haven't activated any form of story progression.

- Custom length of life stages
- Custom decay rate of friendship relationships
- Custom decay of romantic relationships
- Custom amount of sims on active lots, more than the original game
- Randomize visiting sims
- No relationship culling, I do that manually when moving around the households
- Lowered the chance of getting pregnant when trying for a baby
- 5% risky woohoo because life is more interesting then
- No Grim Reaper. He won't appear in the gym or chatting with people, only shows up when someone dies.
- No tragic clown
- No phones
- No computer
