A note about Deeper Social Autonomy

Hi everyone,

I’ve spent a good amount of the weekend retooling Deeper Social Autonomy based on feedback and what I’ve been seeing in my own gameplay, but Sims are still not behaving quite the way I want them to (spamming Mischief, for instance). It seems that recent patches have changed how Sims behaves. I was hoping to have an update out today, but I’m going to need more time to playtest and troubleshoot.

Re some of the mean Sims interactions, see this: https://forums.ea.com/idea/the-sims-4-bug-reports-en/autonomous-insultingmean-interactionsfighting-patch-1-108-349/5018647 There seems to be a new cause, including in mod-free saves.

Thank you! I’ve been noticing that too. Thought it was weird the fight interaction was showing up everywhere.

I also noticed that sims are more mean that before. Just witnessed my married couple get to a brink of a divorce when I left them unattended for 10 minutes while doing something else with another sim on the same household.

Anyone else having issue with their sims always being mean to each other? Out of nowhere for some reason my sim will just bully his wife. And I can’t get it to stop. 😭

Looks like it’s a new bug from the latest patch

Mischief has always been a big problem in autonomy it seems, it's like the game wants you to play that way lmao!

*watching him spam mischief* (under breath) I could patch him.
