How intelligent do you want Sims to be?
If my Sims was alot smarter then today, I expect I woulöd feel like an intruder or an peeping tom when they performed intimate options for example like woo hoo. Even today I prefer not to look in when...

This is a hard question for me so I didn't vote.
I see times where my Sims are very smart, and times when they are too smart, and not smart enough.
I don't want them to be human, and there needs to be a place for a player.
If they were very smart doing things autonomously they wouldn't need a player telling them what to do.
They learn after being told to do the same thing a few times, like cleaning up after they eat.
They've taught me things like writing in the journal. I knew it was always available but had never used it until one
of them got a whim to write in one, and I saw the benefits of it, his mood changed.
I used it on another Sim who came home from work embarassed and it helped them get past it so they could move on.
The times I feel they're not smart enough have to do with my expectations of them according to my personality.
Things like if you are in the yellow on the bladder please go to the bathroom before you sit down at the computer for fun.
Times when they're too smart to me are things like they automatically know when a Sim is in their world,
what's in a home from just standing in one spot, where a Sim is going to be, so they go there.
Walking by a ( new to the player ) Sims home, because they already know each other and want in on that Sims world in this game.
They're trying to get noticed, or even those who are not trying to get noticed are keeping an eye out.
If the player acknowledges them, and they become friends with the players Sim, they use that as access to the home.
It just happened to me recently, my Sim went to a popular hang out spot and I clicked friendly introduction on one Sim I never saw in any of my games before. My Sim gave the friendly introduction and a few days later the Sim was at my Sims
home. I selected goodbye in the interactions after they talked a bit and after they said goodbye, he came in the house. :p
He already knew that Sim and my Sim already knew him from other games.
Another time with a Sim I thought was a new Sim, newly created, something like that happened.
It was the Sims 1st day in town, and one of the Sim regulars at the gym was at her house shoveling snow drifts in her yard.
He wanted to meet her I'm thinking, and so I clicked for her to come out and friendly introduction. She did and their friendship soared very quickly. They're smart Sims and they remember.
Idk what is being done with their memories of past relationships in other games, but they should be purged.
edit: I'd like my Sims to be smart enough that when they call someone over to dance, they're dancing together facing each other, not side by side and the same thing with water balloon fights, facing each other, not side by side, and when they're drinking orange juice, or milk, they would go sit down to drink it or stand in front of the dishwasher or sink, not the fridge.
I'd like them to be smart enough to not bring their bicycle inside. I haven't played University yet, only because I bought some packs and are only exploring them now, but I've seen how they bring the bikes into the dorms, but these are not University students.
Or maybe one day we will have a ride your bike all through the house day :D
