is there a way to turn off opporunities or allow the sim to decide themselves?

You can set the household option for children to "off," and they won't breed while you're gone.

Well it sounds like you want your cake and to be able to eat it too. Indie will not move your family out of town. If you don't like what it does with story progression off for your family but on for the town then OH WELL JUST PLAY THE DAMNED GAME FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!
Sims are inherently stupid. It has been this way since TS1. Left to their own devices they will make poor choices or none at all. That's what the game is about, directing them to make choice.
Look, you can't have everything 100% the way you want it in a game or in life. You're picky about what the base game does, picky about what Awesome mod does and picky about what Indie does. Then someone actually made a mod for you that wasn't good enough either.
Well I suggest you either get off your ass and learn to mod yourself or just shut the hell up and find a way to deal!
Sorry, I am generally a nice person but I have no tolerance for ungratefulness, whining and someone not being resourceful doing things on their own when clearly what they want is in a niche and not something that would not appeal to most. Other people should not have to work to cater to something that no one except you seems to be asking for!
Saikatsu:
I don't even really see a point to what the OP is wanting such a mod for. Like Motoki said, sims just aren't all that smart. Their AI does a LOT of really dumb things. You gain nothing from having the game continue to run while you're not there, it pretty much just adds to the time played (and household funds, if you want moar money that bad just use a cheat). They are not like the norns from Creatures, you aren't letting it run undirected to sift out the ones with the best genetics/survival behavior/etc. because that stuff simply does not exist in any of the Sims games. It's completely pointless and is likely to result in them doing something completely dumb.
Hell, what tides is pining for isn't even partially as useful as taping your A button down in the Lethe River area of FF6 with the menu set to remember commands, which loops you through a portion of the map endlessly and farms exp till you either untape the button or something bad happens and you die.

can you turn those off as well veezee? =D thanks!
I will have a look at some point, but don't hold your breath. I did quickly scan as I put in the phone splattering, but I didn't see anything I could configure relating to work opportunities.

tides, I don't think video gaming is for you. Try television. The characters make all their own decisions, and all the channels keep broadcasting whether you're watching them or not.
