MC command centre do moved out sims count as 'played households'

[MagpieC]

I don't think the game itself makes a differentiation between played and unplayed households only active or non active but I'm using MC command centre for a legacy challenge and I'm not keen on keeping up with a lot of households.
If I move the spares to another lot and don't go into live mode with that new household are they still going to be left in limbo for story progression or will they be treated the same as townies?
Basically I'd like to keep the option open to play a couple of households without story progression interfering but if that means every generation's spares need to be played manually to get on with their life I'll probably just stick to the main household and turn on story progression for all but the active household.

If you go into Manage Worlds and mark them unplayed, MCCC will treat them as NPC's and therefore get them jobs, eventually have them marry and have kids, etc.  If they haven't been marked unplayed, MCCC will leave them alone and they will be static.

Thanks, I didn't know that was a thing you could do I never looked at manage households before. I've just looked and found all sorts of things I can do there much more easily than going to individual lots.

Thank you so much for this answer. I've been wondering this for a while now. I feel so relieved now. haha
