The Mostly Super Firm Rules

There are Main Characters and Side Characters

Each household can only have one main character at a time.

If the flag is passed, then the previous main character loses any main character protections. They are now the same as any other side character.

Main Characters can have Watcher intervention to save them from death. Everyone else deals with the roll of the dice. Anyone can be killed by act of Watcher to fit the story as needed, but only Main Characters can be saved from random chance.

Whatever happens with neighborhood stories must be rolled with. Even for main characters. The eye of the Watcher can't be everywhere at once.

A note on Time and Auto Aging

Auto Aging is turned off, sims age with 'real years'.

A season is 14 days, a year is 56 days and time is consistent. If a full year is spent on a single family, then that year still passes for everyone else within a world.

The only 'pausing' of time is when the focus switches to a different world to catch up the stories there.

An infant becomes a toddler at year one, a child at year 5, a teen at 14, a young adult at 18, an adult at 32 and an elder at 60.
