So, as a player of The Sims since TS1 released in 2000, and especially of TS3 for the last decade and a half, I kinda got used to a playstyle where my controlled character has NO free will whatosever, ever, while the others frolic around doing their own thing. Including family, roommates, townies, etc. But when I take control of someone, they only do what I tell them to.
Enter InZoi, stage left. It used to obey my setting at launch.
But at some point it started to annoyingly override my choice, like I’m the NPC. Nowadays, even if I have both autonomy options set to OFF, AND turn it off on a character, it will turn it back on whenever anything happens. Everyone going to sleep? Your autonomy gets back on and stays on. Going to work or school? Yep, it goes right back on. Going to an event? Yep, back on it goes.
Overriding a choice I clicked in THREE places to turn off, as if I need the game to tell me what I really want is… mind-boggling and frankly insulting. I’m not an NPC.
And frankly it keeps getting on my nerves each time it happens.
