Please Help- What's Happened to their Free WILL???
dizzy:
There's the global free will and then there's also a bit in the person object's semi-global attributes that can also disable the autonomy processing (which has the effect of turning off free will). It could be a hack conflicting with either of those things.

I have noticed that some sims just stand there with nothing in their action queue and it's not for a lack of things to do. For example the legacy house has TV, treadmills, chess table, swimming pool, hot tubs, pool table, pond for fishing etc plus plenty toilets for bladder needs. This does seem to have started happening since installing BV but it doesn't happen all the time. It has definitely affected playable sims and I'm fairly sure that I've seen customers just standing there as if they're waiting for something to happen. I'm also fairly sure that it doesn't affect all sims at once, just some.
That- that right there. That's what I'm getting, summed up perfectly.
Maybe EAxis screwed with something for no reason again, and whatever they did is only effecting some people? That's right. It's always EAxis's(?) fault. :P

That's what happens to me just the other day. I was just playing a lot with 2 sims, when suddenly 1 of them just stood there doing nothing. When all his bars were low (red color) I checked free will. It was still on, I went back to play-mode used the maxmotives cheat. Continued playing. When an hour later the second sim started doing nothing (and sims 1 still doing nothing unless I tell him so). I checked free will again and it was OFF. (I'm not certain if I reloaded the lot before looking at the 'free will' option). I turned it back on and everything worked like when I started the game. Both of my sims had there free will again.
I've been playing a few more days (same lot, with same sims) and didn't happen again (yet).
I know there is a hack that allows you to turn off (or on) free will for each individual sim. I already checked my downloads folder and I do NOT have it. All my other downloads are up to date (triplets & quads, a few from simwardrobe, and a few awesome hacks from the directory cut)
Maybe eaxis 'accidentally' turns off free will for a certain sim in the code at random moments? And the free will option (in the options menu) shows it's on, since not all sims have free will off? (does this last paragraph make some sense? :-\)

Sometimes I like to stick a bunch of sims together in a house and see who hooks up, which is why I let them get on with their chattin' and flirtin' on their own (I have ACR installed). Other times I get fed up with them being so stupid that I just throw my hands in the air and let them kill themselves if that's what they want to do. And then sometimes I take offence at their stupidity and go, "Fine! If you don't want to do anything, then you can just bloody well stand there until you do!"
I do have Bathroom Uses You, I just thought that you had to set something up in game for it to work (and I've never really got around to that for some reason).
I haven't noticed Free Will turning itself off. Of course, I've never checked either. I rarely play with Free Will off so I didn't think to look. If it happens again, I'll check it out.
I found it very peculiar that it was never ALL of the sims that turned inactive, which is also a reason why I didn't check if Free Will was off. It did tend to spread, but I don't believe everyone was ever affected at the same time. I have all expansions up until Seasons, and I never noticed this problem before I installed Seasons.

You have to place the TP in the bathroom. Then it works, keeping the bathroom clear of clog and managing load balancing and queuing so that sims don't jam up in front of one bathroom and ignore the others, then pee their pants.
