@Psychotps Ok then, we're using the same version. The way you turn Tuner on and off is to click on a sim and the MCCC menu there. But you probably know that since you use autoscan. That's the only place you can activate the autoscan as far as I know. But it can be on any sim and whatever you disable on that sim affects them all. Since you manually added that line to your tuning.cfg file, then that's why you got the thirst thing to shut down and I haven't.
What I've found though, is that once you block one thing, then the sims become obsessive about something else almost immediately so then you block that, then the next thing and the next. By the time I got done blocking all those. I reached the point where I began to wonder if it was all worth it so I went back and started over. So I only block a few things now and look for other work arounds to cope with rather than block. For me, it seems to work better that way. But that's just me. To each his own.
Btw, I feel the same way about Patreon.
I suppose when you aren't directing the sims to do something, the sims will still want to sandbox around the area. By turning off automations, you are limiting their sandboxing options and they'll focus on what's remaining.
Sorry if you don't know what "sandboxing" is, it's an old Skyrim/Fallout modding term. I means there are a number of objects that characters can interact with automatically around the area. When not directing the character, they randomly pick one and do it. MCTuner basically disables the sandbox option for that object and they'll have to pick something else. The more you disable, the more they appear to focus on what's remaining.
That never bothered me. I tend to micromanage my sims anyway so my sims rarely get the chance to sandbox around anyway. It's just when I leave them to their own devices for a few minutes, I don't want them getting water all the time. They never wash the glasses and leave them all over. It makes more for me to do once I take over control again.

@Psychotps I understand the meaning behind the term. No apology, etc. necessary. I have played both those games repeatedly (on PS4 though) and still go back for another round every now and then. Same thing with Assassins Creed. Love the big open world games just as much as this one. And to be honest, I agree on the glasses. That's why I don't really like it. If they would clean the darn things up, it wouldn't be any where near as bad. LOL But I have found that If you don't cancel the action and let them finish before queueing anything else, most of the time they'll clean up their glasses too. But it is a bit much no matter how you look at it.
