The easiest way to keep the MCCC story progression from affecting sims you don't want it to, is to keep them marked as played with the bright green plumb bob. And if you have Neighborhood Stories enabled for played sims, disable it in Manage Households.
Hope this helps.
As I said, this has never happened to me before (I've played rotationally many times in the past), and I've been using MC Command Center for a while now. The only difference is that I've been playing this family for a few months (it was the Too Many Toddlers scenario, that I was doing in my dedicated Scenario file, and I just continued to raise them all to adulthood).
I don't know if something could have changed with any of the updates (either to the game or to mods).
But as I said, I have played rotationally in the past, and never have any of my families in the played section of manage households progressed without my control.
I'm just super confused, and I want to go back and play that family, but I don't want to ruin it all :/
I may end up removing mods and just micromanaging relationships/marriages in a vanilla way. time-consuming but at least my story can continue the way I choose.

MCCC will still affect households in the played section if they don't have the bright green plumb bob. If they have the light green plumb bob, MCCC thinks they're fair game. The move into together is MCCC but the pregnancy could be either MCCC or Neighborhood stories.
There is another way it could have happened though. Those phone calls that you get asking (I found a ring in so and so's bag) should I get engaged/married and should we have a baby? Both things will cause what you had happen. But you have to choose on those, and it would have to happen twice. I know I have inadvertently answered several of those the wrong way. Do you remember getting any of those calls?
Hope this helps.
- gertie472 years agoSeasoned Veteran@CGrant56 didn't get any of the calls - when I have got them in the past I always swiftly say no, unless it doesn't matter to the storyline.
In my digging for understanding MCCC, I've been given advice that I need to click on the actual sim that these things are happening to and flag them to not marry/move/have offspring etc - so I'm going to try that the next time I log in, and I'll check back in here if it worked for me or not.
Thanks for your suggestions though!- CGrant562 years agoHero+
That sounds like a plan that will work. But, if you have to do that for every sim, then it's going to be a bunch of extra work if you have a lot of sims.
You shouldn't have to do it though. I use MCCC and it took me a bit of experimentation when I set up a new long term save, but I was able to stop things like that from happening. At first, I was having move ins, marriages and babies. Now I don't have those things going on. So, it can be done, just takes a bit of time to get it right. You might want to experiment with the main settings a bit to see if you can get to that point as well. I used a throw away save to do it so I didn't impact my main played save. But it's your game so you do what you have to do to get the game playing the way you want it to.
Hope this helps.
