How do I play multiple households in a neighborhood?

Hi,

there's no full Story Progression in Sims 4 like there was in Sims 3.

There are a few things they do while you're not playing them

• Get a job
• Skill up
• Make friends 
• Go about their daily lives and roam about town.

They won't however get pregnant, get married or move without you activity telling them to.

They might fall in love but I'm unsure if that was a bug and is not not happening anymore or if it still occurs, especially for flirty Sims.

As for aging, that can be turned off in your game options. You have a choice who is aging. Played household means the households you have played at one point, unplayed means, you've never touched them and active would be the one you're currently playing.

Hope that answers your question.

Thanks, I was afraid that was the case.

Does anybody know how to play a neighbourhood without it resetting every time you create a new family? I want all my families to be able to interact, and move on, with each other.  Even more, I want  to be able to fill in the gaps on the empty lots and in the empty houses!  Every time I make a family to move in the neighbourhood seems to reset to the original settings. 

I've never played Sims2 or 3.  I only got Sims4 because I couldn't get the original Sims to work on my laptop anymore.

I've found it!

Thanks for your help.  I really appreciate it. 

I miss the old printed game manuals that actually told you how to play the game.  I wouldn't mind a downloaded one if only it was a bit more detailed.

There's fan made guides and the offial Prima guy (which costs money though)

There's others if you google

This is untrue, my sims family got pregnant while I played in another household, and the husband cheated on his wife with a neighbor and when I noticed she was also pregnant, and you can visit their household and see that he has his son and daughter with this other woman. Which I didn’t play, and no one played in my laptop either. All happened by itself. 

Hi there. 

Since this is a pretty old thread that hasn't been updated in several years I went ahead and locked it. 

If you need some help with an issue like this please create a new thread, and we'll take a look. 

Thanks!
