Forum:Story progression turn off

is there a way to turn off story progression entirely on sims3? like on sims2 so that when you are not playing the household it freezes completely. im increasingly tempted by sims3 but when ive played it on my boyfriends laptop even when i turn story progression off and free will off the houses still seem to do stuff on their own sometimes and that would just mess up my style of play completely.
