I know this is old, but... yes, my Sims continuously autonomously "troll teh forums," even sims with the Good trait, and even if I start a club gathering using Get Together and make "being mischievous to anyone" a banned activity.
I have basegame, all expansions, all gamepacks and stuffpacks except for: Eco Lifestyle, Journey to Batuu, Nifty Knitting, Moschinno Stuff, Tiny Living and My First Pet.
I've had this issue with all sims, in both a modded game and mod and cc-free game. Either they have the geek trait, high programming skill or low fun/social need.
- With low fun and/or social, instead of playing a computer game, they choose to troll the forums
- Instead of programming/practice writing/search the web/chat online, they choose to troll the forums
- Instead of watching tv or dancing to radio, they choose to troll the forums
If I don't..
- restrict access to a computer
- monitor every sims activity carefully
- or turn autonomy off
Then eventually every sim will have a few Mischief points from this, and I've had one occasion where a sim made it to level 5 mischief skill all on his own from trolling the forums and then autonomously choosing mischief interactions with other members of the household, when I was taking care of other sims and ignoring this one.
I have...
- Removed mods to test
- Repaired my game to test
- Removed my saves/tray and deleted the sims 4 folder to generate a fresh folder
What do I expect?
I don't understand why a mischief related interaction ("Troll teh forums") is associated with the Geek trait or high programming skill. I associate mischief interactions with the Goofball, Mean and Evil trait, OR with the playful moodlet.

having played with a trio of sims in university for a semester, where the Good, Outgoing Bookworm picked up the "hobby". she's on it averaging two times a day. never had any programming skill and maybe one or two mischief interactions before she started trolling, if any. resetting her mischief skill did nothing. I have disabled the interaction via mccc, but I still don't see how this could be a decent design choice and not a bug.
Now there might be mods interfering, have not tested that yet.
