Sims have no automatic actions - I figured it out!

[MohicanTunes]

At all.. I have the auto on but the sims and his home guests don't do anything on their own, plus his breathing action loops, the plumbob disappears for like 1 second and then shows up again.
Anyone has the same problem?

My first thought was you have free will turned off, but you say it's on.  

What about motives?  If the motives are maxed and you have motives set to not decay, the sims won't want to do anything.

Is this happening in other lots, also, or just the one?

Is it possible you downloaded a no autonomous actions hack and forgot about it?

Nope... And about the upper comment it just happened in one slot yet... The motives could be real low and the sim was just complaining without going to bathroom or go eat something

It seems definitely some hack conflict; sometimes when there's a conflict the sims just stand there doing nothing. Try the hack conflict detector, or do a binary search removing the hacks and see if it works.

Are you useing the Allmenus cheat becuse if you are thats your problem. I used it a couple of times and knoticed my sims did nothing for themselves.

You could have a conflicting hack but it could also be a buggy lot if only one lot is being affected... Try moving the sims to another lot and see what happens...

Thanks.. i was just wanting to know if someone had the same bug. No allmenus cheat btw...
I'm not really concerced since I don't play a lot...

I had the same problem, with a lot that came with seasons, (the single dad and teenager), the plumbbob would disappear for a second and theyd do a little jump/twitch thing, and then the plumbbob would re-appear, they done nothing autonomously, only when I commanded them to do so. I ended up moving them out of the lot, havent had a problem since.

I had the same problem once, on 1 lot that had gotten buggy. I moved the family out and then back in, from then on they were fine. I tried other stuff before moving them out but nothing helped.

Found out my problem.
For some reason this happens when I have the Heineken crate from MTS2 in my house.. If I remove it, the game comes back to normal.
Hopefully this will help anyone

Sounds about right.  Too much beer and they pass out
