Have finally found a way to tell TS4 stories in the TS2 way. It's more cumbersome as it involves an outside game display, but does the same job with the benefit of not needing the game to see/read the story. The basics are:
Set up a story folder per household
Play game and take your shots, keeping story elements in mind
After playing, move the shot files into the relevant folder(s)
rename files so you don't have the date-time issues that can't handle AM vs PM and change of year. I start with 001 and go from there
using your graphics programme (I use the provided Windows Paint for simplicity), add a blank space for captions and the text function for writing them. Voila! you have your stories.
This has revolutionized TS4 for me, moving it out of boring into usually fun.
