Stop sims from constantly talking to plants

Hey there,

This thread is quite old and is being locked here to make sure info provided or reported is relevant to the current version of the game.

Feel free to create a new thread if there's a subject you're wanting to discuss that doesn't have a more recent topic, thanks! 

I also have this issue. My Sim constantly is going out to research the plants. Every second he's unmonitored he's out there researching. Seems like a bug EA needs to fix.

Because your sim has gardening 10 bienchens mod will not work for you.

You can try simularity Don’t do that Mods -> Don’t Auto talk to plants maybe this will work for you.  Her mods are not reported broken. I don’t play at the moment this game(Its just to broken for my playstyle), so I am not sure if it works.

Im having the same problem. A single sim is essentially addicted to talking with the same plant about unbeleafable friendships. It already maxed out her gardening skill. I tried with the autonomy scan and bienchens mod but neither stops this behavior.

Sorry about that @daikoyu that link was directing me to a different page, must have been a caching issue on my end.

I was being redirected to an external site and when that happens we generally do not continue.

So https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/INFORMATION-Common-Game-Fixing-Mods-Hero-Approved/m-p/9836185#M169140 is now a third-party link? I just simple explained a light way to find the mod, because her(83bienchen) website is there linked.

Hey @daikoyu please do not post links to third-party content such as mods on AHQ.

Bienchen has a mod for the talking with plants. I use her mod since forever. It doesn’t forbid the action but make it that you sims need at last have a gardening skill of level 9 or have skill level 5 + traits: insane, super green, thumb or loner. (I am don’t a fan of mods which toggle it actions off. I just want that it makes sense for sims which have such a behaviour)

You find the link for here mods here: > klick on childhoodphasetweak -> downloads -> Autonomy Mods -> Search: talktoplants

I tried this since the toddler will not stop trying to talk to the plant and I can’t find it on autonomous actions anywhere it’s super frustrating.

So, I don't know how to do it if you're on console, but you can forbid autonomous actions if you're on PC/Mac and willing to use mods. If you have MC Command Center, under MC Tuner, there's an option called "Autonomy Scan" and you can use it to tell your Sims what actions they're not allowed to do autonomously. I have all kinds of actions forbidden (children making messes, I'm looking at you).
