Autonomy players?

I tend to play on smaller lots with some options, but I do have like a tv, computers, usually at least 1 hobby/skilling item, etc. This one family is the first time I've ever seen them do anything on their own and it took a whole university degree + 1 extra semester for it to start happening. That's a long time. And then it's still kind of me forcing the personality on them because I still have to direct them to do it first. I'm the kind of player that likes for them to do stuff that I can notice about them. It tells me who they are. Before this, they literally just stood in the walkway between the living room and kitchen and talked forever. They never stopped. My other families are also doing the same thing. Gathering in a bathroom and talking the whole time. I think because I play rotational and only for a week at a time, it isn't allowing the AI to shift and handle it on it's own. I only played this one house for longer because they were in college and that's how I stumbled upon them doing more than talking autonomously.

I'm going to check out the mods you suggested. I had SOL and that wasn't updated even for the patch before this one so I doubt it's good now. I won't do MCCC - I just can't figure it out and hate that it put families in my empty houses. I'll look into wonderful whims as I've never heard of it.

It's really interesting to hear how different people play. I'm similar in that I also like for my sims to do stuff that I can notice about them, so that I can build/understand their personalities from there. I play legacy style, so I get the sims from babies and I never rotate :sweat_smile:. I randomize their toddler traits and kind of watch them and build upon everything. I use the whims a lot to help. My sims talk a lot too, but only once did they chat in the bathroom. Even though I play a giant lot, I also try to keep my sims together so that they have opportunities to interact with one another. More than having any big things that happen, though, I just have a lot of cute little moments. Like a teenager will be dancing with her friends and her dad will randomly come in trying to impress with his own moves, I guess, and fall on his face embarrassing her.


Or on New Years sims will autonomously kiss their significant others and hug close family members and friends.


My AI right now is on point. Even the butler is working well. My sims may be sitting at a table to eat (perhaps amazing in itself) and then the butler will pick up the plate as they finish. She also fixes things immediately after they break. But, overall, the game seems to be very finicky and unstable.
