Ideas
After the March 17th update there are some issues that I’ve encountered.
My Sims appear to be repeating the same actions over and over again all on their own. If they’re not repeating the action repeatedly, they seem to be doing nothing at all or go to the computer all the time. This is when I have autonomy on.
Does anyone else have the same or similar issue?
Edit By crinrict: Adjusted Title
My Sims also have autonomy issues, especially when using computers. Oddly enough, they insist on playing on the computer but can't use it, and always repeated continuously. All they can do with the computer is research "woohoo" techniques
Could you please provide the following information
- Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do. Please pick a thread tag for that.
- Did you give your Sim the like/dislike computer ?
- I am currently using mod and have not removed it. However, a different friend of mine with NO mod (plays on console) appears to have the same issue as I do which I play on the computer.
- Yeah I made them dislike the computer to test it but it appears to be doing the same issue.

Hi,
After March 17 bugfix my sims and NPCs with 'Dislikes Computers' are still using trying to use the computer autonomously, the action fails, and empty action windows start stacking up endlessly without cooldown, causing the game to freeze completely without the ability to open Task Manager.Easy to reproduce: Autonomy Full, close the Sim who “Dislikes Computers” in a room containing only a computer, and the autonomous action will appear almost immediately.
