Re: Disabled Autonomy Wont Work for Just Selected Sim

My apologises for the confusing wording, hopefully the screen shots help.

The "disabled autonomy for selected sim" is applying itself to entire household. Previously I could have 1 Sim that I select which I can control (no autonomy) and the rest of the household could still remain with full autonomy. Since this issue, I cant select that one sim so either have to play with full autonomy to the entire household or turn autonomy off to the entire household. I cannot single out one sim and change the setting to apply just to them,

@sarahhk5_ The settings are applied globally to your household so if you set that, it's selected for every household and every Sim you play, even when you switch Sims.

If you switch Sims, that one is becoming the selected Sim and that Sim will no longer have autonomy. You can't disable it for a specific Sim only unless you use a mod.

So with your settings, this is what's supposed to happen. You have 3 Sims in your household + 1 pet (S1, S2, S3, P1)

So if you have S1 selected, S2, S3 and P1 have autonomy and should do things while S1 does not. When you switch over to S2, S1, S3 and P1 has autonomy and S2 has not.

What shouldn't happen is that every household member looses autonomy while you have one selected. So if you select S1 and S2 and S3 and P1 also don't do anything on their own, then that would be a bug but judging from what you are saying, that's not the case ?
