Awesome Story Driver Beta-Testing reports
byronh:
The story mode has been working very well for me but there are a few oddities I've noticed.
-As mentioned by other people, multiple families are doing musical houses and moving multiple times per day back and forth between the same houses.
-A married Sim I made keeps showing up on the Romance popups even though his relationship with his wife is very high and he has two kids
-I set Gobias Koffi to have +1000 attraction to males and -1000 to females but he keeps romancing women, yet Abraham Finkel is having same-sex romances without my intervention.
-The boss for my Sim's career hasn't reappeared yet. When I first started the game, my boss was another Sim that I had created and whose career I set to level 8 in music. Then for some reason my boss was then replaced with Artie Page. Then suddenly Artie Page disappeared and no new boss has appeared since. If I try to "Meet Musicians" it says I have already met them all. This isn't too bad since the Music career doesn't require a good relationship with the boss, but alot of other careers would need it and it's good to be able to ask for promotions.

Also, is there anyway to activate for it to tell me when other sims in the neighborhood get married or have children? More reminiscent of ISM. Right now it tells me when other sims are going to work or are working on skills, which I don't really care about, but I do care about marriages and babies.
Enable InformOnStoryAction in the config file.The pop-ups will alert you to romantic interactions and marriages,households moving and pollinations.It doesn't report actual births though.
I have been playing with it enabled but it still is only telling me when sims go to work or move houses. Nothing about marriages and pollination, although I've noticed them happening by going into edit town mode and checking on various families. Is there another file that perhaps I'm missing?

Mine tells me every time about marriages and pollinations. It would be nice if could tell you about births because I really hate having to read the newspaper every day.

I've never had musical houses, sorry I can't help with that.
If the said married man has "Commitment Issues" and/or "Flirty" trait(s) he will romance with whoever is available regardless of his relationship status with his wife, the amount of children they have and even if the girls he go out with are already committed as well. ;) Hopeless Romantics are less susceptible to this, though can be persuaded at times and Family-Oriented ones will never cheat on their partners, or so I have observed only in my games.
If you start Same-Sex relations in the hood it will start similar relationships with any sim inclined to it. And yes, I also have a similar problem with Gobias, though I didn't set the numbers that high, around +50 for male & -50 for female only.
It seems Artie went to apply for another job elsewhere if he disappeared. Since the music career has no need to have good relations with the boss, you'll be fine. In other careers however, you'll need to initiate interaction with the boss first before they appear.

Thanks for the info. The married Sim does indeed have the Flirty trait and I am removing it.
So are you saying that the "Suck up to Boss" work tone will cause the boss to spawn? Or do I have to physically socialize with the boss outside of work? (And how the hell would I know who he is in the first place?)
One funny thing I'm noticing is that the gayness is spreading. Abraham Finkel has just recently recruited Cycl0n3 Sw0rd and Iqbal Alvi.
