Story Progression Toggle: Is it borked?
inthecorner:
mine works fine. when i first started to play it i turned off story progression. nobody aged or got married or etc.
when i turned it back on, i got my sim to read the newspaper and there was an article about the hospital in town claiming that they had their lowest death count in years (or something like that) obviously pointing out the fact that story progression had been turned off and nobody in town had died.
now new and old sims have moved in and out of town, and people are getting married and having babies, even twins.
my sims was married to an older guy and he had an affier with the maid. i made him move out to any default house (kick out i think the option was).
for a while he wasn't in my phone list, but then he randomly showed up in the neighbourhood in his own house. he had progressed in his career.
since he had a son with my sim, i saw on his family tree he now had a half brothewr and sister from his dad side (but they have no mother). i even made him vists his dad's house to see them which was pretty cool. =)
i love that they've added step-son/half-sister/niece to the game. =)

Where and when did you get the game version you are running? I understand thee are now different version out there and there has been some speculation that right now there is a "more complete" version out there. Maybe yours is the newer version and this could help prove whether the original truly was a bad beta copy.

Is it possible to have Story Progression ON but prevent the random Sims from breeding? (I was under the impression that setting Free Will to "Medium" would let them go to work, go out, etc. but not let them breed.)
Also, is there any way to prevent the other families from moving out? It seems random, but is there any way to prevent it all together? (It seems like I can't make my mind up as to whaether I want Story progression on or off, but the random moving and spawning is a big DNW.)
You seem unable to decide whether you want it on or off. This is why the game currently lets you have it both ways: You can turn it off and it will still be on.
True. I guess I'll just keep it off, unless there's a way to prevent the Sims from moving away- I can -maybe- deal with the spawning, but the moving is too much.

It would be good to see some hacks/mods that come out, to allow certian Story Progression things to be turned off, such as a: Sims_NoMoveAway, and other options, that we could put into Mods folder, and take in and out and all that jazz, I got no idea how hard/easy this is, but just putting the suggestion out there. No doubt after a few weeks this kidna thing will happen?

Don't forget, modding for TS2 got to be where it is today after what, six years? Pescado is Awesome, but the kind of mods we're used to in TS2 will most likely take time.
