Auto Save

Nothing wrong with having the feature and let the players decide if they want it on or off. If you don't want it, you can keep it off, people who want it can go into settings and turn it on. Much better than not having it at all. It should be an option

No autosaves! I once had a Sim outside starwatching, killed by a falling satellite. I had heard this could happen and was absolutely shocked. Imagine my dismay when another household member went out to where her sister had just died, and she decided to do the same thing! Before I could react, SHE died by the same thing, another falling satellite. 🤣 It was too funny, but totally wrecked my story, so being able to leave without saving can literally be a life saver to a Simmie! 

An autosave feature would have to be optional, and I recommend toggled "off" by default.

Lots of simmers (as others have commented) quit without saving when something bad happens that they don't want for their story. 

I also quit without saving on purpose when I am shooting screenshots for my very scripted simit story.  The day goes too fast in this game and the lighting changes too quickly.  To get all the screenshots I need for the story, I set everything up at the start of the time of day that I want, shoot as many screenshots as I can until the light changes too noticeably, and then quit without saving so I can come back into the game at the starting point of that lighting and shoot more screenshots I need to finish the scene.

An autosave feature that I can't turn off would make this impossible.

I don’t think it’s a full on auto save but we have something on console where it automatically saves when you quit or go to the menu.  But it doesn’t save over your save, it’s like an extra “last saved” save.  Which I’ve sometimes used because I forgot to save.
