Do you play with autonomy on or off?

I like the autonomy. Sometimes it's VERY annoying but I like that it brings a little unpredictability.

I keep it on max all the time because they are supposed to be people with free will. I look at the interactions as "heavily suggested" notions. The only time I take it off is when the rare occasion comes up when a sim simply refuses to do something simple, which is almost never.

I have NEVER played with autonomy off. As I typically play families and have multiple sims to manage, I can't imagine how that would work if they didn't have the ability to do their own thing.

I only turn it off when trying to do a paint from reference for the whole family. but even then the toddlers and others will only sit or stand for so long and there off. even with autonomy off. But for the rest of the play they do as they wish most of the time with a little nudging from me.

Same as poster above, I play with autonomy set to Full, but for the single currently selected sim, off.

I like to have the household as a whole behave autonomously and just actively control the one sim I select. I also set my mouse thumb button to spacebar for quickly scrolling through sims in the household though, which means autonomy is kicking on and off a lot for them all.

I’m a control freak. I’ve repeatedly tried to let my Sims have free will (especially in big households) but they always end up doing stuff that’s annoying or makes a mess. I do a lot of pausing, issuing instructions and then unpausing.

Off for selected sim so they don't go running off doing things they aren't supposed to when I need them to be doing something else.

Its give or take really. Sometimes, I want to turn it off because they do some really annoying things that make me want to accidentally start a fire.

Toddler chair.

On. I can't be bothered to control spares and kids every time
