aging on for everyone, let your sims be your own people. be picky with your mods so ur game dont lag unnecessarily. set mccc and neighbourhood stories to work along each other, so your stories outside your household progress. get a mod to stop random townie generation so the only new people you’ll see will be the offsprings of your townfolk. basiclaly youre running an ant colony in the background. of course to make sure the offsprings wear decent clothes as they grow older, you get a custom dresser.cfg file from mc command so they wear normal clothes. at least your “new townie” will have families and autonomy, instead of being randomly generated nobodies that have no backstories like tf ?? of course you could use import tray sims in mccc if u want, i personally dont do that. if there are hot sims i want in my game, i’ll populate them manually :p hence i use a mod to stop random townie generation altogether. and errrrm, play normal lifespan. thats my personal preference tho but u do u.

oh, comes in handy too- learn how to use notion as much as you can to keep track of your pixel people because holy hell once you know what youre doing with notion, the sky’s your limit. coz what do you mean im making a whole social media page simulating twitter while my sims beef with each other over a man 😭 i’ll show yall some day. i dont really post in depth of my sims stuff on tumblr coz usually it’s just for my eyes to see (hence, notion lol)

anyways the links:

this youtuber’s channel that covers a lot of helpful storytelling / gameplay tips + she also has some notion tutorials for your sims

+ any notion tutorials you can find on youtube lol

custom mc.dresser file (requires mc command)

or you can just search up on the internet for more and copy the strings in ur config. anyways this is especially helpful if you have a lot of packs so your sims dont end up naked lmao.

realistic story progression for mc command (life changing)

no townie generation.

really helpful mods

im too lazy to link but u can search it up

personality, hobbies, hopes and fears by missyhissy. seriously, get itttt.

some of the mods from the user tyjokr, theyre really good for gameplay.

and obviously rpo but everyone and their mamas have rpo. just dont get all the modules if you dont wanna play a game that goes by 1 frame rate per sometimes.

hope this was helpful byee
