The autonomous snow shoveling is quite literally driving me insane

I can't be the only one experiencing this: a sim is in the middle of a conversation and then takes off, runs five miles across the zone, and proceeds to shovel a random snow drift. What in the actual...?

I know there are a lot of annoying autonomous actions in the game (water, computers, gaming rigs, etc) but right now this one is taking the cake for me. At least with the others they generally stay in and around the house.

    I turned off all the autonomous snow activities with MCCC auto tuner autonomy scan. It's made my game experience a whole lot better.


    Me too. I can look forward to winter again.
  • I'm torn on this. I don't like it when MY Sims shovel snow, but when guests come over and do it, I think it's hilarious. Hey, if they want to shovel my Sim's yard for no reason, I say have at it!
  • I have 272 autonomous actions disables according to my tuner.cfg file. And there are still some actions I haven't found, because they are sneaky with the wording.
  • There is a reason. Shoving snow builds fitness skill. My active Sim scoops snow all the time and his wife does not. If piles build up by the door they can't get in or out. They live in the snowy part of the mountain. The scooping does not bother me.

    What gets me is the amount of snowmen around the house. I think everyone that walks by builds one or makes a snow angel. When I stopped playing yesterday there were 7 snowmen just off the lot around the house and many angels. For the fun it I had my Sims go finish 3 of the snowmen. Looks kind of cool and disturbing at the same time.

    If we don't want snow to pile up I wonder if flooring on the whole lot would stop the build up of piles. I will try this when I go play later. My sims don't run off to shovel snow. They run off to ski all the time. I have to stack actions in their cue so they don't run off.
