Sims are all the same, and the REAL live mode (autonomy all the way) is absolutely horrible.
Man I cannot even picture what it would be like if you just let Sims be autonomous all the time. They're so stupid they'd probably all be dead in a week.
Mine typically don't die (they will feed themselves), they're just completely dumb (but the toddler for sure would be taken away).
Seriously, the AI is pathetic. In a household of 8, I end up with Sims with a red social bar, and what do they do? ... chat on the computer or go talk to a plant. Dude, you have 7 LIVING PEOPLE WITH YOU. Oh, and the cat just ran away because everyone is ignoring him too.
But no, left to their own they'll just play video games or make drinks all day. Even if it's an outdoorsy Sim, but we know that people who love the outdoors love spending all day on the computer, right? (/sarcasm off)
You'd think they'd at least get whims to call a friend or invite a friend over when they're lonely, but nope too. Heck my unflirty Sim kept wanting to flirt with her wife too (what?). And apparently they want to make snowmen all Winter too (do you even have kids, people?) and they need 100000 dog toys.
And god forbid they give the toddler some leftovers from the fridge when she's starving, no, let's give her a bottle instead... that should fill her up for a good hour. Oh, and let's stand in the cold with my light clothes on so they can freeze to death too (instead of going inside).
Ugh. That pretty much sums up all my pet peeves about the game's ridiculous AI and whim system. Such a wasted opportunity.
