Are You a Control Freak?
When you're playing your sims, do you control everything? Or do you mostly let them do as they please?

I rather miss the semi-autonomy we had in S3, in which they'd do something if you didn't tell them what to do after about five seconds. Every once in a while, I'll turn autonomy on to see what they'll do (there are some interactions they won't do with autonomy off, like 'thinking about a family member'). Also, it can be fun (and sometimes maddening) to see what a toddler or kid might get up to. With adults, it's always the computer or cooking food.
One thing I don't like about having autonomy on, even if I'm pausing constantly to direct my Sims, is that they'll quit activities when their need bars are full or, just because. It's impossible to get them to read a skill book because they constantly quit once their fun is maxed. So, autonomy is almost always off in my game.
