I don't want my sims making life changing decisions on their own. Why would I? What's the point of all that decorating if my sim will randomly change it to suit them? This sounds like a "townie clothes" explosion everywhere in my game. There's no way of knowing what we would wind up with. It won't be real decisions based on logic or color favorites or anything, it will just be random chaos happening everywhere.
The DO bug where two married sims (married to other sims) would go on a date to a restaurant caused enough of an uproar. I can only imagine what a game wide random trait might do. I don't want them marrying and divorcing or sending kids away to school unless I decide it. What's the point of making plans for your sims, game wise, if they can just ignore your story line and do what they want? Can you imagine how that would screw up so many challenges players are involved in?
These are sims, bits of programing, made to act and react like us. They can't walk into a room and "decide" that it's time to repaint the walls or apply for a job in another career. The autonomy we have now can be annoying enough when they drop your command to get a drink of water. No thank you. Keep this out of my game.
I didn't think about the townie clothing explosion. You make a good point. When I was creating this thread, I was thinking about EA's S.E.E.D. AI, it's going to be amazing according to them. (why is word that represents a kernel that grows stuff, now suddenly censored?) How silly.
