Autonomy on always...
I really can't understand what is fun about having sims just stand around doing nothing while waiting commands. I honestly wish they were smarter and had even more autonomy than they do now. I find it relaxing to sit back and watch them sometimes.
I agree with you on this. If they stand there and pee themselves because you forgot to tell them to go to the toilet, it's kinda dumb.
They don't do that anymore lol. Actually, they have an emergency autonomy that kicks in if the bar drops too low. I think someone mentioned earlier they didn't like that feature and wanted to turn it off. they will fill whichever motive depletes to the end. It's not like earlier games, where if you forgot them you'd just find their dead body later. (Edit: Or rather, their tombstone/urn :# ). Plus, I don't forget my Sims ;) The only time they might go idle is if they come back from school or work and I'm busy, then okay, maybe I'll forget they were coming home, not watching the time, but it doesn't matter because I was busy with another Sim anyway. That's why autonomy off is so great in Sims 4. They have basic survival instincts now, it's awesome. I can even go make myself a cup of tea and they won't drop while I'm gone. They'll continue their tasks I've queued for them, but they will choose one action to fill a motive that has gone down to the last bit of red.
