Marking this as solved since I didn't get any new reports
Hi @reboot2019
changed your title a bit to better reflect your issue. Feel free to change it again if you're not happy but please make it that the title contains the actual issue,
What do you mean by no caches are created ? You mean the cache folder after deleting ?
Just to be sure, the new game works as intended entirely ?
This is a strange one. I haven't had the lack of freewill in any of my households but the auto solve for energy is broken on about 80% of my Sims. As of writing this I haven't been home and had a chance to install the latest update/patch so I am eager to find out if it helps. I also don't know if the auto solve for fun button is broken as I hardly ever click to auto solve fun. I generally prefer to specifically direct them to do something fun since when I give them a choice or leave them unattended with a low fun they almost always "Troll teh Forums" if there's a computer or tablet lying around. (Murphy's Law says if I ever WANTED a Sim to be maxed out on mischief skill they would probably never autonomously troll teh forums).
So for me:
Full Autonomy: PASS
Autosolve Energy: FAIL
Autosolve Fun: Unknown
Will check tonight when I get home and see if today's patch/update changes things.
The free will do seem to be working again and they will go do things other than taking care of the first three base needs. I would however say that there's definitely still a problem with the system. There's a significant pause after one action before they go off to do something. Testing with my family with five sims (two parents and three teenagers) it looks a bit like it can only manage to assign a task to one sim at a time. One sim will, fx make drinks and then stand around. Then all the others will go do something one at a time, and then the sim at the bar will go off to do something. And I would like to point out that it will not make my teenagers do their homework by themselves no matter how much time passes. Not sure if that's a trait thing or a result of them being A students, but pretty sure they used to do their homework on their own - at least some of the time.
The game is workable now, but definitely much slower at assigning tasks than it used to be - it reminds me of when I turned free will to minimum in Sims 3. My suspicion is that the threads either lose sync or something else is broken, which makes the free will fail to function - because it does work, just not as well as it used to.
EDIT: Auto-resolving fun is still a problem. Had a bored sim standing around doing nothing, clicked on the icon fun and got no response. Then she went to watched TV after a few seconds, so not sure if it's the auto-resolve or the free will that made her watch TV. They do still do whatever they're told (for the most part) when giving them a specific command, except it still likes to time out at times where I don't understand why (can't tell if that's by design or a bug).
