Well I can't hold my horses.. heck I might not even have any horses in the future not that it would matter to me. However, I am happy for this thread because playing with full autonomy on.. but autonomy off on selected sim really works well in a big house for me.. . well unless I just want to watch them all .. which sometimes I like to do. I flip around I play with one, see to their needs, do their homework, send them to skill or start that project then flip to another to join them on the project maybe then flip to another to get them ready for work ect... So far no problems with canceling and I can still watch them autonomously interacting around and even with my sim if I started it up. Were we able to do this in past sims games? I really just thought they stood around and did nothing if you used any setting like this. Holy Hallelujah Batman!
Either way @plopppo2 I think you really should write a strongly worded letter to vent your outrage on the shenanigans happening in your game. Venting can be good for the soul and I'm sure you'll have things cleared up toot sweet if you set your mind to it.
Funny I never thought to bother with turning autonomy off for selected Sim because if I switch to them I always have a command in mind for them.
I suppose if Sims were cancelling my commands for no apparant reason I might resort to this, but like I've mentioned my Sims rarely do this and when they do the reason is easily identified.
Mine actually did it now and then.. not so much them canceling my actions although I have seen that happen but mostly its just them deciding to do something else first when I've told them to do something. I can easily avoid most of it since I'm usually a micromanager when playing.
Also there's just ways you learn to deal with some things the sims want to do that you don't want them too before hand. Like the chatting issues when out in public. I know I need to take my sims that want to be "alone" in public farther away from others.. grouping them up also helps. You just learn to control them right? Things like the book reading just click on the book twice to read it and they stay put until the book is done.. this was addressed sometime back but you have to claw through the forums for info like that. If you play the game you learn to work with it.
I'm still getting the feel of playing this way (with autonomy off on the selected sim) but one big plus is there aren't as many water glasses all over the house for sure. It kind of makes sense for me to play this way because when I do switch to one.. as you said I intend on playing them, there are actions I want them to do. It's just working out better for me. My only issue is I'm starting to be even more micromanagement driven than before.. so I'll have to watch that.
