Sims with certain traits do. Which means traits matter and form personalities. I love that, being able to choose whether my sims do that or not. And if it really bothers you, you can simply direct them to the sink and they will wash their hands. It’s just really lame for me when the game dictates things. If there’s something I hate: that.
I think the problem with Sims 4 is that too many autonomous behaviors are not tied to traits. Instead of making "do nothing regarding this interaction" the default and then making them automatic with certain traits, the default is "do this task" and then don't do it with specific traits. This has the effect that in Sims 3, unless you had a "neat" Sim, you didn't see her automatically making her bed or washing her hands, but in Sims 4, unless you have a sloppy sim, you will see her do that. Because there are so many traits, odds are small that you will see the auto behavior except very occasionally, which makes the Sims in Sims 4 seem more "the same" and less individual.
Yes. Must add that for me it's a fine line where it comes to autonomous behaviour. I play with free will enabled so I must like it to some extent, I love surprises in the game, but I don't like it if it hinders me in storylines (sims hugging each other that shouldn't in my imagination) or personalities (I don't think sloppy sims in 4 don't make their beds...?; if they don't that would certainly make a difference).

I would rather have some sims cleaning and others making a mess. I play both kind of personalities in Sims 3. I love it that the household of my artist always looked like a mess and the house of his daughter always spot on and neat.
