Please use this thread going forward: Sims who Dislike Mischief Autonomously do Mischief | EA Forums - 12242886
First I noticed it with my Geek sim, who might or might not have the quick learner trait, she has the Techie lifestyle, and because overall All sims start to Troll Tech Forums if they are near a computer, with her I tried to avoid that choosing her to Dislike Mischief as a default. Regardless, she Does Troll Tech Forums autonomously. After finding this bug here, I created a new save and three new Sims, one is Genius and one is Geek, the third does not have any mean, cheeky, or brainiac-related traits, all Dislike Mischief and so far only the Geek started Trolling Tech Forums on their own, gaining her Level 1 Mischief skill with it.
What troubles me the most, is that people trying to raise awareness of online bullying, trolling, and abuse, and make it stop in real life. And also as a gamer, I do not want my sim people to do trolling as a default. All the time. Regardless of their personality and interests. Even when they dislike it. Like trolling is a natural urge needing to be fulfilled, like thirst. No, please. Just no. Clogged toilets are also annoying, but I think online trolling should be taken out of the game altogether.
@MazsolaCsibiI also noticed the autonomous mischief comes with geeks/genius traits. And this is still happening!!! My sims kid just went to her parent to chat, when the mom casually started lying about her career. I really want to disable mischief entirely. 😣
My sim, who dislikes mischief and is self-assured/perfectionist/good/clumsy, won’t stop doing mischievous interactions and ruining all her dates. Please fix this, it’s super annoying and a huge problem with Lovestruck! I’d expect to have this issue with a goofball who likes mischief but not this sim!
And now the same sim autonomously started playing video games (on the console) and she dislikes video games too 🤦🏻♀️
This is a constant problem, because:
1. Turning off autonomy has not worked for years, if it ever did. I cannot remember when it did.
2. The autonomy algorithm does not check your sim's traits or likes/dislikes, social situation, NPCs with whom you are interacting and their traits and likes/dislikes.
3. The conversation topic generator does not check your sim's traits or likes/dislikes, social situation, NPCs with whom you are interacting and their traits and likes/dislikes.
I think they should check the algorithms to make sure they are programmed correctly, and while they are in there, they should finally fix the autonomy.
Autonomy: Off
Disable autonomy for Selected Sim: Check
Maybe, in the code that last one is falsely flagged to enable autonomy if checked, rather than disabling it. Maybe the text was written wrong and never proofed again.
I just did not buy the High School Years for the PS, because even when I was a teenager, I did not openly let one rip (and it comes out looking like a green music note - lower than juvenile and truly repulsive), joke about bodily fluids or body hair, or make gross jokes. Toilet humor is the humor of 5 year olds, in my opinion. But, that pack forces that content into the game. We cannot disable that, and turning off autonomy doesn't work; neither does making your sim dislike mischief. In your case, your sim doesn't like video games, but the autonomy falsely sends them to play video games. It's not a great leap to understand what is going on in the code of the game. Probably though, this thing has become so complicated that they have no idea where the problem was built-in.
:😕igh:: I will probably get banned again for daring to critize the game.
