AwesomeStory not producing any babies?
Chiba:
I've been using Indiestone as story driver since it came out and just recently switched to AwesomeStory, so I'm used to the way Indiestone worked.
There were always marriages and a constant supply of offsprings, but somehow this seems not to be the case with AS. I've been playing for several Sim weeks now and most of my Sims are aging without a partner and producing babies.
Is this the normal behavior or might it be related to a bug? I'm using the base game with the latest patch and the latest AM.
Also, is there a way to fine-tune the AS popup information? I'd like to be notified of marriages and babies, but I don't really care if someone goes to work.

In order for a couple to procreate, there needs to be at least one crib (not in use, obviously) inside the house.
snowbawl:
I am assuming you have Story Progression enabled in the game options, yes? You say you are getting story action pop-ups. So let us proceed from there.
Have you placed cribs in houses? Sims, under AwesomeStory, will not breed if there are no cribs. Also, make sure there are affordable houses available, with cribs, for couples to move into for breeding space. Are you getting pop-ups saying that "x" does not have any romance victims? If you see these a lot, there are not enough appropriately aged partners for coupling and breeding potential.
Did you start AwesomeStory in an already existing hood, or did you make a fresh hood? This does make a difference.
Afterthoughts:
If you hand-select partners for playables, be careful. Check to make sure the potential partner does not have any love interests, or you break AwesomeStory's love cycle, causing some sims to start it all over again and wasting valuable breeding time for non-playables. When hand-selecting, I choose from a pool of teenagers and then age-up the one I want.
Also, if NPCs start picking up traits such as "loner", these sims won't join in the race to breed. Sometimes a little tweaking is in order. You want to populate your hood in a hurry, make everyone "family-oriented" and place two to three cribs and lots of beds into every house.
Tever:
If your problem is just that you don't have cribs, you can use the search bar to find the Awesomized neighborhoods someone posted. Cribs in every house for Riverview and Sunset Valley, I think.

Wanted this myself, so here's a link to the thread with 'em in.
