Why don't Sims autonomously use skill building items anymore?
I remember that when Sims got Inspired, they used to play an instrument or paint a picture or mix some drinks, even though they'd never picked up the skill before. Now they don't do that anymore; the only thing they seem to do autonomously is play video games.
They don't even watch the Comedy channel autonomously anymore. And although these don't build skill, they used to also watch Action and Romance. Now all they care about is Sports.
Was this a conscious decision on the part of Maxis? I've always enjoyed letting my Sims do whatever they wanted, provided their needs weren't low. Why aren't Sims doing interesting things by themselves anymore?
