Can't disable Neighbourhood Stories

More than a year since neighborhood stories has been broken and I still cannot disable it. It is particularly frustrating when it messes up played households or assigns ownership of businesses to played households. Today I opened one of my favorite households and the couple had divorced. Soon after neighborhood stories notification came in about an adoption. On a small business lot a brand new household was now the owner of the lot.

Since the last update, the neighborhood stories changed. Even if I disabled thoses, there still have npc moving into ALL houses, and some npc's also getting pregnant, EVENT IF I DISABLED NEIGHBORHOOD STORIES ! Now we have to check or uncheck a little box, I don't understand anything anymore, it's changed and it annoys me a lot !

I think the neighborhood stories fail was first report a little over a year ago and, as you said, I think the recent update really messed it up. My game now has pregnancies, new babies and divorces all over the place. I've had to delete the babies and reestablish several relationships (spouses, partner and siblings). It got to be so much I started a new save, which sucks because I was actively playing the messed up game.

Not sure if this should be reported as part of the year-old neighborhood stories bug but since the latest patch the break has broadened... Including moving the Royal Envoy into an empty house. I have always had neighborhood stories "disabled" (because the toggle never actually disables it). Also since the patch entire households and Sims have disappeared from the game. This goes hand-in-hand with unwanted pregnancies, move-ins and move-outs, divorces and the addition of unwanted siblings in game-altered relationships.

I've started a new save to see if it happens again.
