I honestly can't play the game without the Story Progression mod anymore. This mod actually does what I thought the base game would actually do when EA were talking about "story progression"
Thank you for the great explanation! I am definitely going to install the story progression mod. Just being the kind of person who wants to stalk the people in town :p Just a litte question about the MasterController. I have a feeling that the cheat 'testingcheatsanbled true' can do the same... I don't know if I'm right though ^-^" Oh and another question (I'm so sorry), did you use the base-mod or all those other mods with it too? (extra, career, money, population, relationship, skill, etc.)
Its very rare that entire mods which add content like this work between game iterations. Few examples where they could, is in circumstances such as between Flight simulator 2004 and FSX, both which use the same game engine and file handling, which means if you add a new plane, that same model should work for either. Its very unlikely that the sims4 would be constructed like sims3 (or itd just be another money grabbing dlc) so TL;DR: No. They would 99.99% likely need to be updated / recreated for Sims4
Pikachu its pretty easy, just unzip the mod. Since it ends with .package, just go to your Electronic Arts folder, then sims 3, mods, packages, and just plop it in there. :)
Thanks for this great tutorial. Do you know if there is a way to "protect" certain sims from the progression mod? I don't want my custom characters to fall under this mod, but don't really care for the default and auto-generated sims.
How long does it take for the changes to Stories options to take affect? I change mine to Blood and Friends, and I'm still getting updates on every single person in the game in a new game. I also see everyone's bubbles in the map, which can be a bit dizzying in a densely populated area. Is there some kind of option I'm missing?
i tried downloading the master control,story progression and overwatch but i didnt get the pop up screen like you did. How did you get the pop up screen
I just tried to do something similar to wat u did in the romance option n it did show, the mods I hav are master con., master con. Cheats, story porg, story program extra, overview n a few others if u have any suggestions on which version I should try it would be greatly helpful
When I downloaded story progression all of the sims icons showed up. Like without it whatever sim your playing has the green ball with its face in it so you know where your sim is. With the mod it shows where every sim is even if I don't know them. Please help me remove it because its really annoying. Also my vampire will never age up. :(
I did everything you said in other video and when my game loads it shows that I have installed the master controller and story progression but once I get into the game the story progression doesn't show up and the game runs really slow
For what ever reason, the game thinks your sim is a vampire with the immortality trait. I sort of have a similar problem when I installed Nraas Story Progression, when I installed it my vampire became immortal even though I didn't have the trait or even the supernatural expansion.
Megan Gifford yeah i looked on the internet.. it didnt help much its a simple question and all i asked was for help not a smart response.. i dont have the mod anymore. but thanks
I was new to using the story progression mod and i went on it b4 looking at the video, I don't know what i did but now NONE of my sims can use romantic options :C help?! please
Llandros i have a questions in my game when i go to map mode i see all the sims bubble (the bubble that shows you where they are) how can i only see my family's bubble? and thanks
ever since i got the story progression and all of that now when i load my game up it gets on to the first screen and then it crashes and its really annoying and i cant play sims without deleting the rnaas mods HELP please ????
Question : I've installed MasterController and MasterController ExpandedTattoo (and Traveler). When I load the game I get the message that they've been installed. And when I want to give my sims new tattoos I do see the new locations. But I can't use them. When I click on a new locations for a tattoo, it still pops up on a 'old' EA locations. Does anyone know why this happens? Do I need to chance something first in MasterController befor it's activated?
I need help on how to change the last name to males when marriage or something. I just installed it story progression with lovers and careers did I miss a patch???
Kristen Sybelle Make sure you put the mod in the DOCUMENT folder for the sims, I made the mistake of putting it in the program files on and it didn't pop up for me either
Make sure you delete the mod folder in the program files because when I had them both in the program files and the documents it didn't work until I deleted the program file one
will somebody please help me since i downloaded story progression my whooer mod which allows teen to try for a baby stopped working saying progression denied plz help
Absolutely not! You can, if you feel the need for a cheat, use the games built in tester. Press CTL+SHIFT+C to get the command line open. then type; TESTINGCHEATSENABLED TRUE just like that. Now, with a click and drag, you can change the emote states, hunger, fun, energy and so on to keep your sim happy. Or if you're mad, make them sad. BEWARNED: Letting the sims hunger go to the red can be deadly! I accidentally starved my sim to death when I sneezed while adjusting hunger levels. Some of the cheats you need to hold CTL+SHIFT and click on a sim, or mailbox first, which brings a pop up dialogue wheel of choices to use. For money; CTL+SHIFT+C then type MOTHERLODE for an instant 50000 simoleans. OR... you can type FAMILY FUNDS (character name) use the sims full name without parenthesis. 7654321 for 7 million. Google Sims3 Cheat Codes for the list of commands.
I'm so sad that this video have so low views. It is the best one explaining Story Progression.
Thank you for this great piece of information.
I honestly can't play the game without the Story Progression mod anymore. This mod actually does what I thought the base game would actually do when EA were talking about "story progression"
Catastrophe Is there anything negative about it?
reybati Not really. When you first start a new save file with it enabled it kind of lags the game for a bit. Then the game runs fine.
Catastrophe Thanks
God Bless you! I wouldn't have the slightest clue on how to use this mod if you hadn't posted this video. Thank you sooooo much!!!
Thank you sooo much!. i just installed all my mods and this vid help so much
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! Your video's are so informative and the audio is so clear. Thanks again!
EA, or at least NRaas should honor you as Simmer of the Year with these easy to follow guides. Almost a "Sims for Idiots (like me)" guide.
thanks for the great explanation if you could make a video about how personalities work that would be amazing ;D
This is such an amazing mod.
Do you have a video of how to install mods step by step?im having trouble getting my mods to work :/
Thanks in advance
Thanks :D Do you edit everything in twallans mod for storyprog or just what you showed in the vid?
Thank you for the great explanation! I am definitely going to install the story progression mod.

Oh and another question (I'm so sorry), did you use the base-mod or all those other mods with it too? (extra, career, money, population, relationship, skill, etc.)
Lets say you travel to bridgeport....where will your sims live during there vacation? does this mod add a base camp?
Nope, no basecamp. I imagine you can rent or buy at the other towns though.
I saw in another one of his videos, that it will put your family in the cheapest lot in that world you visit. Sucks, I wish I knew more about it.
***** If you use the TESTINGCHEATSENABLED TRUE command, and type FREEREALESTATE you can have any lot you want at no cost
Question: Do you think the NRaas mods will need to be updated for SIMS 4, or that they'll work as is?
Its very rare that entire mods which add content like this work between game iterations. Few examples where they could, is in circumstances such as between Flight simulator 2004 and FSX, both which use the same game engine and file handling, which means if you add a new plane, that same model should work for either. Its very unlikely that the sims4 would be constructed like sims3 (or itd just be another money grabbing dlc) so
TL;DR: No. They would 99.99% likely need to be updated / recreated for Sims4
leon ali Thanks Leon, for the reply and insight. +2 thumbs up to you!
Brass has confirmed that he won't be doing mods for Sims 4.
Nrass^
FruitGirl77 Well that sux. :( But thanks for the info
Can you make a video on how to install mods, please?

Pikachu its pretty easy, just unzip the mod. Since it ends with .package, just go to your Electronic Arts folder, then sims 3, mods, packages, and just plop it in there. :)

I've looked under Advanced for the Master Controller, and I don't see the options to edit skills at all. Am I missing something?
When I downloaded story progression all of the sims icons showed up. Like without it whatever sim your playing has the green ball with its face in it so you know where your sim is. With the mod it shows where every sim is even if I don't know them. Please help me remove it because its really annoying. Also my vampire will never age up. :(
I'm looking for the same answer, have you found one yet?
Is the mod stable?
Does it crash the game frequently?
straight forward, easy to follow thank you Llandros
can you travel to different neighborhoods without world adventures?
I did everything you said in other video and when my game loads it shows that I have installed the master controller and story progression but once I get into the game the story progression doesn't show up and the game runs really slow

For what ever reason, the game thinks your sim is a vampire with the immortality trait. I sort of have a similar problem when I installed Nraas Story Progression, when I installed it my vampire became immortal even though I didn't have the trait or even the supernatural expansion.

Turn aging OFF in the game OPTIONS menu, once you have them aged where you want them I imagine.
I need help on how to change the last name to males when marriage or something. I just installed it story progression with lovers and careers did I miss a patch???
Nutella Maniacz do you have the base mod installed? Cause you need that plus any other mods you download.
The game will freeze after a while when using this mod. Is there a different mod for story progression?
Awesome video
do I put storyprogression in the mods or package folder?
Both. You click on the mods folder and then put it in the package folder that's under mods.
ok thanx :)
Thanks!
I installed it but I don't think I installed it properly because the pop up didn't... pop up.
Kristen Sybelle Make sure you put the mod in the DOCUMENT folder for the sims, I made the mistake of putting it in the program files on and it didn't pop up for me either
OOOHH maybe that'd help HAH
Make sure you delete the mod folder in the program files because when I had them both in the program files and the documents it didn't work until I deleted the program file one
will somebody please help me since i downloaded story progression my whooer mod which allows teen to try for a baby stopped working saying progression denied plz help
You have to go into story progression and allow teen pregnancy, I don't remember the exact steps to do this but it's not too hard to figure out.
I use Monte Vista :D
Is it necessary to use this kind of mod in my game? I don't want to ruin the gameplay and the open neighborhood concept of this game.
Absolutely not! You can, if you feel the need for a cheat, use the games built in tester. Press CTL+SHIFT+C to get the command line open. then type; TESTINGCHEATSENABLED TRUE just like that.

Awesome video thanks! Very professional
If I download story progression only, will nraas still show up ?
Yes
yes. it shows up with every mod you get from nrass website
I don’t see the pop up
Some simmers say that Story Progression will make your game crash. Is that true?
Can someone give me the link to this mod please? Thank you :)
Thank you so much ! :)
Thank-you! This helped SO much, very idiot proof!
¨So just go ahead¨
