No autonomy not working anymore?

So I've always set my sims' autonomy on disabled, I want them to complete what I set them to do without interruptions. Now, however, it's like it's on again. Before you ask:

-Yes, I have mods, but it doesn't matter, since this occurred right now.
-Yes, I've repaired the game.
-Yes, I have removed cache files.
-Yes, I have turned the autonomy on and off again.

Any suggestion of what may have triggered this? I don't like the idea of spending all night on having my sim make one lousy painting when she constantly wants to stretch out or do push-ups (which doesn't make any sense, since she doesn't even have the energized moodlet right now), or make dinner even though she's not hungry.

    This has been going on in my game for a while now unfortunately. It seems that some actions now override the setting. If you have ECO living installed, all the NAP actions will override just about any command you give the Sim. There are some mods that help, but personally I’m still seeing the issue a bit even with them installed.

    So it's an EL-thing, huh? Strange that I haven't experienced this until now. Also, I just discovered that lumps of clay appear out of the blue in their inventory.

    Yep the clay is from eco too.. you may not have seen it before because it can take a bit for all the NAP’s to go into effect. The voting is every weekend, so it can take up to a Sim week of playing to even get one, and some are more obvious than others (voting to use eco appliances for instance won’t spawn annoying actions).

    What's strange is that I just tried to get rid of this by having my Sim move elsewhere, and avoid what I usually didn't vote for, where no NAP has been done yet, but nope. Same thing. The autonomy is really killing the fun for me. Writing a book is a total pain now.
    Thanks for the input though, it's good to have a clue. :)

    Good luck! One of the last patches was supposed to stop NAP’s from other areas from showing up everywhere, but the actions get stuck on some Sims. There is a mod to fix it if you use them, but I don’t think it can be linked here (due to other types of mods by that person).

    Thanks again! Yeah I guess this was it, it's the first time I experience this. I'm gonna look for that mod, see if I can find it.

    It’s hosted at mod the Sims, so I guess it’s ok to link here: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/home/leaving?target=https%3A%2F%2Fmodthesims.info%2Fd%2F646194%2Fbasemental-stuck-n-a-p-s-fix.html

    @Kita5399 Thanks, I'll give it a try! :)

    Update: I just tried it, and it works like a charm. Thanks again! :smiley:

    @Kita5399 Appreciate it. :) I'm glad there are people out there who're actually trying to fix issues.
