For story progression, let MC Pregnancy handle marriage and babies, MC Population handle stability and homeless limits, and MC Career handle job quotas. If you see LastException alerts, treat them as a signal to update or remove the outdated mod named in the trace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\">What is MC Command Center in The Sims 4<\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>MC Command Center (MCCC) is a script mod framework that adds deep simulation control and story progression. It lets NPC households marry, have children, move, and advance careers based on settings you configure, plus it adds powerful cheat and cleanup tools.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\">Why is MCCC not showing up in my game<\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>The most common causes are Script Mods Allowed being disabled, the .ts4script files being installed too deep in the Mods folder, or using an MCCC version that does not match your Sims 4 patch.

A common setup is using MCCC for marriage and moving, while using Neighborhood Stories only for optional chaos features like accidental deaths.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\">How do I stop MCCC from making Sims pregnant<\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Go to a computer, open MC Command Center, then MC Pregnancy. Disable autonomous pregnancy settings or set the percentages to zero for the age groups you want to block.
