sims don't do anything they dislike autonomously
This is not true. Likes and Dislikes don't affect autonomy. All they do is give your sim a moodlet and increase or decrease fun based on if they like the activity or not.
My sims do autonomously use skill building items, but only if they have a certain trait (like creative sim will often autonomously paint) or if they have at least 1 level in the skill. Nobody touches the bar at all until I give one of my sims the mixology skill, then they're all over it.
But even still, sometimes all they do is watch TV and play video games (even if they don't have the skill)... Meh. :(
