Why do my Sims not do what I want them to do?

▶

Your Sims may not be doing what you want them to do due to a variety of reasons, including routing issues, low needs that require attention, or overriding commands from other interactions or events in the game. To resolve this issue, you can try removing conversation queues, restarting your computer, and repairing the game to ensure that your Sims are able to perform the actions you command them to do.

Understanding Sims Behavior

Sims behavior is influenced by their needs, emotions, and autonomy, which can sometimes lead to unexpected actions or a lack of response to commands.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Autonomy Settings

To stop your Sims from doing what they want, you can pause the game, go into game options, select the gameplay tab, and set autonomy to off. This will give you full control over your Sims’ actions.
