My sims have no autonomy

Question

None of my sims have any autonomy even though in my settings i have it set to full. Even when their needs are all the way down they still just stand there and do nothing. its super annoying because all of my sims keep just standing like robots until i tell them to do something. does anyone know how i can fix this? I've already tried resetting the autonomy settings and deleting a bunch of mods that I had recently gotten thinking they might have caused this. but nothings working.

@cozysaraheliza Did you also delete the file called localthumbcache? And when you load the game it shows you have no mods?

@twisted0728&nbsp;Please test with all of the Mods/CC and the cache file out of the game, without saving. Directions in the spoiler tag below:Spoiler (Highlight to read)Move your Mods folder from your "The Sims 4" folder [Documents &gt; Electronic Arts &gt; The Sims 4]&nbsp;to your desktop (save it for reference) and delete&nbsp;the&nbsp;localthumbcache.package&nbsp;file in your “The Sims 4” folder. Then check in a new game save to see if this issue is still occurring. If the issue is gone, please re-add the Mods/CC one at a time until you find the one causing the issue. If you have a lot of Mods/CC you can try the 50/50 Method. You can test without saving in order to identify which CC/Mods are causing the issue, then remove or add updated version(s) of the Mod/CC causing the issue.&nbsp;Move your Mods folder from your "The Sims 4" folder [Documents &gt; Electronic Arts &gt; The Sims 4]&nbsp;to your desktop (save it for reference) and delete&nbsp;the&nbsp;localthumbcache.package&nbsp;file in your “The Sims 4” folder.

@mariahangelique&nbsp;Do you use Mods &amp;/or CC? If you do, or did recently and didn't remove the cache file named in the directions, you could test without them to see if this is causing the issue. Directions are in comment #2, above, in the 'spoiler tag'.&nbsp;Did you also check your settings? In each game save you can change the autonomy settings. Open the game save then go to: Game Options &gt; Gameplay and set "Autonomy" to "Full" as follows:
