These 'no autonomy' mods generally target a specific action, such as juggling espresso cups, diary-writing, or checking out new objects.
In The Sims 2, The Sims 3, and The Sims 4, mods can prevent Sims from performing some actions as a result of free will. Some examples are looking for a job, asking another Sim to move in, proposing engagement or marriage, and woohoo.
On the other hand, Sims will not do certain things unless directed to by the player, even if Free Will is enabled. For example, a Sim can 'Look out' a window or 'Check out' a new object, but can't be told to do so without testingcheatsenabled or allmenus activated. Some interactions cannot be directed, but can happen autonomously. For example, a Sim who has just enough time to eat and shower before the carpool comes may decide to play on the computer.Ī Sim's mood can affect which free will actions he or she will perform, and whether or not he or she will perform some actions as a result of free will. What Sims do as a result of free will may not always be the best or most rational choices they could make. Most of these actions are connected with their needs, but they are also capable of making other decisions based on a variety of factors. Free will is a game option that enables Sims to move and to perform certain actions without being directed by the player.
