MCCC Story Progression with EA Neighborhood stories?

There’s a hot fix available at the moment for MCCC. However it doesn’t integrate the neighborhood stories into the mod, it only makes it compatible with the latest patch. I would suggest disabling the MC settings that have similar functions as neighborhood stories . Otherwise you might have to many things happening to your households in the background. Unless you want that.

I'm following this because I want to know this too. I haven't been able to find any info about this on Deaderpool's discord or anywhere else. I am inclined to assume the MCCC progression things like marriage and pregnancy MIGHT override the in-game story progression, but we can't be sure I guess.

yea I haven't been able to get into my game and test. But since EA stories doesn't include marriage - I was thinking of keeping MCCC's marriage but try EA's pregnancy/adoption and shut off MCCC's version of that. I also would keep MCCC's moving out single sims but try EA's career and pet adoption. Would be great if I can use both and pick and choose which I like from each and for it all still work the way I want it to.

im following this too! i have been wondering if i should delete mccc but there are so many other things than the story progression that i want to keep it

I'm using the two in conjunction, because MCCC does things which Neighborhood stories does not.

I've left all of my MCCC settings the same, but turned down the pregnancy rate to be much, much lower (set it at 1%) to see how well the new Neighborhood stories functions for this instead.

Beyond that, I've left MCCC to handle moving Sims around and marrying them off and disabled the moving features of Neighborhood stories because the stories feature doesn't include marriage other than the rare "phone calls" about it that we've had for a long time. It also isn't clear how well neighborhood stories will do at splitting households up for the move out feature.

I also left MCCC in charge of any career changes, because it is fully integrated with the ability to fill careers as 'needed' so the game doesn't have to make all new sims for that, whereas Neighborhood stories just uses the setting to create stories.
I also left MCCC set to automatically move out elders into homeless 'elderly' households, and then set Neighborhood stories for those households to allow accidental deaths and retirement, two settings for Neighborhood stories which I'm not using for any other households. It's working quite well to thin out the elderly population before they actually die of old age. So in this regards, neighborhood stories is enhancing MCCC. :lol:

At this point I've played through nearly 3 sim weeks with the two running side by side. MCCC is still working normally and the Neighborhood stories is doing its thing too. You can feel comfortable using the two together, just be aware of what you have each set to, so they aren't working against each other.

thanks @Stormkeep!

very helpful info!

I’m still using MCCC for sim control, cheats, flags, etc, but turned off story progression so I could evaluate how Neighborhood Stories works. I’ve not had any conflicts, but wouldn’t expect any. If I see that I need some MCCC control back in, I’ll add things as needed. I wasn’t completely happy with the way MCCC handled townies anyway and I kind of feel like Neighborhood Stories will give me better control. We’ll see what happens.

On their Discord, they said that they work fine together so far, although it may get a lot more chaotic. They ask that if you do have problems, you should come to the Discord and post in one of the support channels. (Remember that their support does not allow NSFW mods to be in what you show them.)

I am interested in this update. Just have to make sure that I am getting my need-to-have-mods from Roburky and Zero with me. I use MCCC as well so I will need to look into the settings if/when I get the latest patch.

Another thing I realized is that you can go in and immediately turn Neighborhood Stories off for each save game you load up. I patched, and did that with the save I'm currently playing, so no worries there. I'll just investigate what all I really do have set up in MCCC and see how I can balance the two.
