Slower Stories

This mod changes how often the game’s Neighborhood Stories (story progression) system updates. Normally, the game checks for story events (like Sims moving, getting new jobs, or adopting pets) every day at 3 AM, which can feel too fast and unrealistic.

Slower Stories adds a random delay between updates—making progression feel more natural and less chaotic.

How It Works
  • By default, the update interval is 1 to 7 in-game days.
  • After each update, the next check is scheduled randomly within that range.
  • This means major life changes happen less frequently and feel more meaningful.

Customization

The timing is controlled by a small configuration file included with the mod.

You can adjust:
  • Minimum extra days before next update (default: 0)
  • Maximum extra days (default: 6)
For example:
If you set it to 2 and 10, the game will wait between 3 and 11 in-game days before the next story update.
