Autonomy got really bad

Question

What is going on? Ever since the update my sims use mischief all the time. Even when I gave them dislikes mischief. They still do it and are happy about it. Please fix this!!!! My sim performed trick with hand buzzer 16 times in a row. Just buzz buzz buzz…. I had to take him to a different lot and immediately he went to computer to troll. When I tried canceling he did it again and again and again. That is the biggest problem but there is other excessive use of interaction as well, but mischief is extra bad and since it’s mostly a useless interaction it’s that much annoying. My sim can be ambitious, foodie, glutton outgoing and still does mischief every interaction that I do not control. Dislikes mischief does nothing. I thought it might be mods (I use some mods since this game is atrocious with out them and excessive use of mischief would have only been a base for issues I experience without mods), but I took some out and tried without and it just keeps happening. Also all

my mods are up to date. So I feel the issue must be last update. Autonomy need a desperate fix. If going to be making a laundry list, it should be on the very top. Right below it all the issues from Get to work and dine out as well as university. Those packs are sooooooo glitch and nothing has been done for years.

@CircuitD&nbsp;If the issue happens to be Mod &amp;/or CC related (if), you cannot really confirm yes or no by just removing some&nbsp;of your Mods, unless you happened to remove the correct one and the cache file wasn't interfering.

Thank you for the response. I remove cache file every single time I add or remove any mod. I checked the list of broken mods and the ones that reported updated by creators. I also checked reported current issues and seen other people reporting problems with excessive mischief. I rather doubt that a few harvestable would cause excessive mischief. I don’t use mccc or twisted mods. I also got chingus traits after I noticed the issue in an attempt to offset the excessive use of mischief and other interactions. So I’m at a loss. Best

@CircuitD&nbsp;Is this issue present when you play other Sims? Is it present in another game save?Perhaps you would be willing to move the entire Mods folder to the desktop&nbsp; and remove the mentioned cache file (as in the directions provided above) but then re-open the game and do not enter any of the game saves you already have but make a brand new game save in the game (this way it will be fully 'vanilla' with no Mods active and no possible affects from any)... Then if you enter and play in that game save for a while do you see the same issue occurring? Once you have confirmed one way or the other you can leave the game without saving.

@CircuitDHow's your sim's mischief skill? My sims' mischief skill is all level 10, they always enjoy being mischievous. Especially, my sims enjoy 'noxious gas' interaction to to other sims. :D
