yeah, me too. i use MCCC and WW and i really can't imagine playing without them at this point. meaningful stories is a must to me as well. i once made a mod that replaced the default base of randomised names and last names with my own, since my language version's was pathetically small and pretty ridiculous, so i always ended up with a ton of sims with the same cartoon-ish name. it was a couple years ago and an update broke it at some point, i assume it was the pronoun update because i can't think of any other update that could mess with the naming system, and at that point i couldn't remember how i made it or how to fix it. and that's about it when it comes to my moding/cc experience, but it's something i always say i want to learn and i have a LOT of ideas, so maybe this is my time. especially since i have a vague deadline of ts5 release to pick it up now.

man, i haven't had a computer that could run TS3 since i started playing TS4in like 2016, and whenever i did play TS3 i uninstalled all DLC except world adventures or maybe ambitions & supernatural as well, if i was feeling particularly daring since these 3 were always my absolute favourites and much to my dismay each of these ended up being split into a couple of non-engaging game packs in TS4. if i wanted to play normally TS3 would immediately crash after loading in the game...

oh, and i've been trying to compile a realistic wishlist for TS5 for a bit now. create-a-world tool, editing and disabling worlds/neighbourhoods is definitely the very TOP of my list.
