I really love the loan aspect of the Money module but I dislike having families progress when I'm not playing them.

Is there any way to disable (or at least mostly disable) StoryProgression but still be able to use the Money module?

Thank you.

The short answer is no, not really. But this is how most of us manage (not disable) aspects of progression on households while they are not actively being played. In my worlds, it's only sims I wish to play in rotations that require these controls while the rest of the residents in town can progress as they like (within reason). Other players wish to "play the entire town" and therefore use slightly different control strategies.
