Freezing Time in-game

[thellama99]

Hey,

 

I'm looking at making a Save Game file for myself where I have remodeled all the houses, townies, and added in my own people to use as a basegame so I don't have to do so much placement if I start a new game.

 

The problem is that adding people over time makes them progress/gain skills etc.

 

Is there any way to freeze time completely in the game? I'll often check in on a house to edit something and i'll see they have visitors, and are talking with people etc. Like I loaded up one of my households to change something and some random sim named Steve Bennet was in their shower, naked... lol

 

Do I just turn off all autonomy for everyone? Is there a code or mod that will freeze the game when I don't have an active household? 

 

I'm sure it's something simple and i'm just missing it.
