Unplayed, not in world families have lots of random babies

Question

I was going through my unplayed and not in world families just now and noticed some families have a lot of extra random babies they didn't have before. Like the goths and Landgraab's have 2, 3 or 4 extra babies. A few have new pets too.

When i search I've seen people say this kind of progression doesn't happen without a specific model. I have a small amount of CC but no mods.

It's not a huge problem, just wonder how/why it's happening

@BettyLeopard Neighborhood stories were introduced a few patches ago.

See this thread for details: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Feedback/NEIGHBORHOOD-STORIES-SYSTEM-From-the-Neighborhood-to-the-World/td-p/11349444/jump-to/first-unread-message (and how to turn it off)

There is a bug report for the excessiveness of the babies though in case you want to me too that: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-SAVES-Neighborhood-Stories-creating-too-many-babies/m-p/11381690#M210155
