I should know what sims do autonomously seeing as I did a 5 week story about it. Before anything else they will socialize. And they like cuddling in tents. (lol)

Hehe i think any Sim will do that, Agnes sat on a toilet when there was no chairs to eat her salad lol.  It was a business not a home so maybe that made a difference.

Insane Sims will sit on the toilet and bathtubs no matter what. They could be super rich, and have the biggest mansion, with the best furnishings but they'll still sit on the toilet or bathtub. The only time non Insane (boring) Sims will do that, is because they don't have furniture.

I think, as a general rule, Sims will not do anything that actively requires a player to confirm the action while you are controlling them.
For instance - when you're controlling Claire Ursine, and you order her to change her job, there is a popup that displays jobs, hours, and pay. You have to click Accept or Decline. Now, I have never seen a Sim do anything that requires me to say Yes to it, like what I just described.

A sim in one of my games has started to drink potions autonomously - she drank a Young Again potion most recently. Has this happened to anyone else?

Friendly small dogs and cats will sit on their owner's lap, without my control. It's so cute too. They won't just do it to owners, but strangers as well.

I put my cat's Simself in UC, (doesn't have the friendly trait), and he sat on Cameron Bachelor-Goth's lap.  :P

Since I got the baby swing, the adults seem to stand in line to "watch" whoever is in the swing.  Talk about funny faces, lol.
Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?

Sorry to revive this one, but something has been driving me crazy since yesterday. I started a new game, and mined at night so the neighbors would come over. I than built a rope fence around them. Than I used move objects on to separate the men and women. My sim was a man so I put the women in a makeshift house, with beds, chairs, bathroom stalls, showers and a full buffet table. A few of the women would eat and sleep, but the majority of them stood around, peeing themselves, and passing out. When one of the women got the starving moodlet, I ordered pizza and put it on a counter, one or two grabbed a slice but not the one that was starving. What can I do to make them take care of their needs? They have everything they could possibly need, but do not use it.

Was she moving around or was she stuck where you moved her to?  I've noticed sometimes when I MOO a Sim, there bodies become glued to that spot and then they have no choice.  Maybe put some lettuce in her inventory by dragging it at her.

Good thinking. I'll do that. I can also gift her food, I forgot about that. No she wasn't stuck, I made sure all of them had plenty of room to walk around and take care of their needs.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it has to do with them being invited over. I locked a few sims in my basement with everything they needed. They were fine until the "I have to go" message popped up. Then they wouldn't sleep for long, they'd make food, but leave most of it on the floor, and rarely took showers. They don't wanna behave "inappropriately" xD

Are any of your household sims friends with the neighbor sims? Maybe a high enough friendship level will allow them to act more normally on your property.


When you live, live with your soul, not with your time.
When you love, love with your heart, not with your mind.
When you want to be something, the world can't define, open up your eyes.

I dragged the relationship bars, so he is best friends with all of them. It must be them not wanting to act inappropriately, but I wish they would, I don't want the women to starve!  ;D

Will other sims give your sims a first kiss?
If at first you don't succeed, call it version 1.0.

I've never had one do it, but I usually control every move they make, so if left to themselves, I guess they might, but I don't know for sure.

If the other sim have the Inappropriate trait it can happen. But other than that I don't believe they will.
A clear conscience is usually a sign of a bad memory.
