Households adopting when neighborhood stories is turned off
I have the neighborhood stories option for adoption turned off but in the past two weeks I have had two separate households adopt a baby.
The first time it happened was when I was playing in Henford-on-Bagley. My Sim was best friends with a Sim from a different played household that also resides in Henford-on-Bagley and she got a call to say her friend has adopted.
The second time was when I was playing in the same save file but this time my active household lives in Willow Creek. She was romantically involved with another Sim who lives across the street who is not one of my played households and despite being pregnant with his child, a day before giving birth, he called her to say he had adopted.
I play on Xbox and have every pack, kit etc and nearly every Maker Pack. The neighborhood stories option for adoption is definitely turned off.
I am playing on a save file that I created late December/early Jan.
