Do you play with autonomy on or off?

I keep it off because I like controlling everything that my sims do.

I play with it off for the selected sim. On for everyone else. I don't see that option, though.

Ah, my apologies @So_Money perhaps I should specify for played sims.

off, the autonomy isn't good.. but I follow the whims.

Same. I need to be able to control my sims myself, but if I can't get to them immediately I don't want them standing around just wasting time.

Off, mostly because it really isn't fun to have a large house and constantly be trying to corral your sims into doing what I want them to do because I have a very hands-on, involved playstyle.

No worries :) In that case, off is my answer.

The weird stuff they do on their own accord can be very entertaining.

I’ve never thought about just turning it off. What do they do when you aren’t telling them to do something? Just stand there? That’s creepy. I let them move around, I like to think my game play is like “spirit guide” haha. They are doing what they want, but I’m guiding their life with suggestions.

I usually play with autonomy on, but as @So_Money said, with autonomy off for the selected sim. On some rare occasions, for example when I really want my sims to stand a certain way for a screenshot, I turn it off completely.
