About Slower Stories

Slower Stories lets you customize the pace of the new Story Progression system in The Sims 4.

By default EA Neighborhood Stories will process new story arcs like Moving In/Out, Career Changes, and Adoption, etc every morning at 3am. This can cause a lot of major changes in your world in just a week!

Slower Stories by default adds randomization and processes story arcs every 1 to 7 days.

Installation Notes Script Only Mod

Unzip and place the ts4script in your Mods folder. Make sure you only have ONE copy at a time.

Double check that your unzipped script does not end with a number in the case your destination folder had an existing file with the name — otherwise the script will not load.

If you organize your CC, make sure scripts are not placed more than one folder deep.

Customize Slower Stories

Included with the mod is a json file that allows you to customize the offset applied to Story Progression updates: The interval_days_lower value represents the minimum added to the interval. By default this is 0. The interval_days_upper value represents the maximum added to the interval. By default this is 6. Each time an update runs, a random number between the lower and upper bounds will be added to the default EA interval of 1 day for the next update.
