The Sims 4 Auntonomy Problems

It might be something in the house. Maybe they wanna interaction with a certain something but can't since something is in the way. MIrrors are a big issue.

So you might wanna go through the house, room by room and deleting everything in it (don't save) and see if it starts working again. There's a thread about this on the bug fourm (not sure if you posted there or not, can't remember all the user names) but one user said it was some object in their house which the Sims tried to use. Removing that solved the issue,

Hey Crin,

Thanks for the reply, tried all that... even tried just plopping random objects in the house in different sections to see if they would react and go use something, but alas nothing..

I downloaded a completely different house, and it works fine, for some reason it's that one specific house. Someone replied on the MTS forums saying that they had the same issue with an industrial lot they downloaded from the gallery.

I posted the same post in the Maxis Simulation Tech Talk and one of the Gurus kindly responded they have downloaded the lot and are going to look into it..

Thanks Again

It does sound like it's something with the lot.

Hopefully the gurus find the issue. 

Not sure if there's anything else I can do for you at this point ?

Hi weebl_101,

I was wondering if you solved your autonomy problem, I'm facing the same issue but with a basegame lot ! (the "flatemates household") ?

My sims juste stand there just like you described and it's really annoying haha !

Thanks anyway !

Just that one lot ?

Hi Crinrict,

It seems that the issue has fixed itself ! All I did was quitting and lauching the game. I really don't get it !

Thanks for your quick response anyway 🙂

Glad it is 🙂

I've been looking through threads to find out if anyone has actually successfully solved the issue, which I've just experienced in my own game.

I was able to fix mine, and if it helps anyone else who happens to stumble upon this reply to a 5-year-old thread, here's what I did:

1) Locate the Last Exception file (usually lastexception.txt) and upload it to lastexception.com.

• This should tell you what mods or CC are broken or outdated.

2) Delete broken/outdated files.

• You can find updated versions of them and paste those back into your mods folder, if there are any updates for them. Otherwise, likely better to just play the game without them anyway, if it solves the autonomy issue.

3) Re-open the game using another household.

• You might not have to do this, but I did it just to try my luck since several other attempts prior to doing these three steps I did with the same household that was having the issue in the first place.
• Go back to Manage Worlds and select to play the original household, if you'd like to go back to your gameplay before experiencing the autonomy issue.

FYI: The problem with mine likely resulted from downloading and using the Road to Fame Mod. I hadn't experienced any other issues before I tried it out.
FYI, part 2: Incidentally, the RTF mod files weren't the ones indicated by last exception, but the website also lists "unknown errors." In which case, it may be smart to (on top of deleting the ones it lists out) get rid of the mods/CC you downloaded within the timeframe of experiencing the issue.

I do not know whether the autonomy problem has been fix since 2015 if it has then the problem has returned. The game worked before the february update. I have installed,repaired and removed both the origin and sims completely from the completely and cleaned the computer.

Please do anyone have any ideas ?
