Story Progression, Lies and Propaganda from EA

I like the way they try to dress annoyances and bugs up as features.

It gives Sims interesting jobs, moves them around based on relationships (or randomly sometimes to stir things up), make them gain weight or become thinner.
Translation: We couldn't be arsed making it make sense, so now it's 'to stir things up'. We totally meant to do that!
I do believe overpopulation is the key, I only had random evacuations after I started my large breeding experiment, but I don't think there's an off switch. So it kicks sims out, but then the game decides that the population is getting a little low, so it brings more in, but it keeps kicking sims out as well. On and on and on.

Overpopulation is a bullshit answer. If that were the case, why were so many random move-outs immediately followed by random move-ins?
Even with Awesomemod, I get random move outs. I think I'm losing MATY households that I moved in. If I put them there, I want them to stay there. I lost Jordi, Fairlight and Ellatrue yesterday. I really didn't want to have to make everyone sacred. Perhaps it's the only way to keep them safe.

Did you leave NoRandomEvictions enabled in config? That should not happen then...
If using ISM, make sure to disable move outs on the phone menu.
No, I didn't touch that, but I will re-check my aweconf settings. That's what I mean - it shouldn't happen. Nevertheless, I got a bunch of "household moveout" notices in the last 1am shuffle.

Personally, I like the fact that they use the word "sometimes" to mean "almost all the time". When I was just using a vanilla game, there usually did not appear to be any rhyme or reason to the way my sims moved around, or who they moved in with.

Did you then look for them in the 'hood? The notices report on attempted story action. Ones that are prevented by your config won't actually carry out.
