More User Imprinting on Played SIMS: Routines / Custom Routines...

When playing any SIM for a time; it would be nice to have an option to imprint more of our own repeating actions upon them, and have those actions weigh a bit heavier in the Sims decision making process when played, set to un-played and or, in Other Household.

Example: You play a repeating daily set of activities upon a sim over time and set up a 'routine'.  To keep it simple for this example. Waking & Sleeping at the same time each day.

Once a routine is established, that Sim will now favor sticking to that routine until other played and set routines have more influence.

Actively Creating Routines:

'Create a Routine' as a game-play mechanic: Press a button and select 'Create a Routine', with a START & STOP function. Once START is selected it notes the time and actions until STOP is selected.

The played SIM; if currently autonomous, will now, if able try to follow the Created Routine.

'Create a Routine/Schedule' with the Calendar: Use a scheduler on the calendar to create a routine that a sim will attempt to follow if able.

Creating Multiple Routines:

Including 'TRAVEL' in a Daily Routine: No FOOD options in the Lot? Set TRAVEL to a Cafe, Bistro or Diner, Vendor, etc each day.

Custom Naming Routines:

etc.

- Cheers & Best

    @ttuthill This could be a pretty cool feature, especially with 8-Sim households or for players who rotational-play different households.

    Maybe routines could also be listed under the individual Sims profile.

    New moodlet options open up too: Angry/grouchy when their routine is disrupted, Happy while in routine.
