The thing that should be done with story progression is that EA should allow the feature to be disabled properly, not to exclude it entirely.

Many other people, like me, rely on story progression too, because those people like the random outcome that makes the the progress in the town to be unexpected. Some people might be control freaks who like to take control of their stories, but some others loves to play around what the game offers.

The second thing is to make it work properly. Good thing Twallan did his best to make story progression in TS3 more lively. Without story progression and town-wide aging, I'll have to cycle through entire families in the town and play them. What? No way. And if I don't do this, the consequences would be that my eighth-gen Sims will be friends with the same person my first-gen Sims are friends with.
