Question: Is NPC Autonomy coming to base game?

Hello! While I know that things like body hair and sexual orientation are coming to the base game, I haven't heard anything about the NPC Autonomy (uncontrolled sims asking your sims on a date, to be their partner, etc.). That seems like something that could be included in the free update, but I wasn't sure. Does anybody know?
  • I hope this doesn't mean that while I'm away playing one family another doesn't arbitrarily decide to get divorced. I'm thinking of my UTTS story here. I don't want Liberty and Matteo or Danielle and Londyn to suddenly call it quits. Those are two relationships I don't want messed with. I was so worried about flirting with anybody and everybody I installed a faithfulness mod to stop anything that night sink these relationships. Now this is s potential new worry. Hopefully it won't change the behavior of sims in played households even when they aren't the active one.

    Yes. It's been confirmed sims your not playing will ask yours out,ask them to be boy/girlfriend, best friends,dump them etc is coming to the base game in the update. This isn't locked to High School Years it's part of the update. Crushes are also coming to the base game.

    TheSims on Twitter confirmed this in their blog.


    I need to find the post where they mention autonomous NPC relationships because I could have sworn that was a feature that was only coming with the pack, unless I'm remembering wrong ? I hope that feature being base game is true because relationships and attraction isn't just exclusive to teens.


    I think it's in the sexuality blog.


    I don't remember which Game Changers video I saw it under but NPC autonomy was under pack settings which leads me to believe that won't be a base game feature. But I could be wrong ??‍♀️

    I think this will be a really good update for the game.

    Hello,

    I am really excited for High School Years but $40 dollars is a lot of money for me so I have to be sure it has the features I want. Can someone please show a screenshot of an adult npc sim asking out an active sim? I love the idea of NPC autonomy but I want to make sure it isn't locked for teens. Just to clarify I want to know if NPC autonomy applies to adult sims. If you can help me I would be forever grateful.


    This feature is pack based only thus far.
