i mean yes they are more smart in some ways including selfcare . but the thing i dont like is that there is some sort of bug that clogs up the autonomy for me like i said when all they do is turn on or turn off the tv or the radio or when they write in diarys the whole time ! and it can be a nightmare if you have a family with many sims ! for an example i was playing with a legacy family i had around 5 people in one family and one of my sims had a tv in his room and my other sims those werent asleep were going into his room the whole time turning on the tv and turning it off waking him up constantly ! so i dont know if it is a bug that causes this or if its the way the new autonomy has to be .
honestly i hope there is a mod for smarter autonomy cause its not like i cant play the game right now but sometimes its annoying me to the point i shut the game off and dont play for days which is a shame cause i loved playing this game ! and for me who is playing with familes up to 6 people for most of my gameplay turning off autonomy is not an option !
