Claeric:
I'm curious about autosave settings.
-Does "Pausing" count as going into/out of build/buy mode? I am well aware the game pauses to do so, but does autosave recognize it as the same thing?
-Is it a noticable thing? Does the saving thing come up and everything, or is it hush-hush and hidden? Does it interrupt gameplay? I Pause quite often just to move the camera and catch up with what my sims are doing.
-Will autosave save to a separate file, distinct from my intentional save file? If not, is there a way to force it to? I would like autosaving, but not if it saves my game just for going and buying a new lamp.
-Does autosave/can autosave save before leaving for/coming home from adventures?

Yes. Saving is a fairly lengthy process in any event, it's not inobtrusive, which is why there are so many options for it.

Yes, it will save to the autosave# files, it will not overwrite your real file or change where it will save when you manually save.

No, coming home or leaving from adventures is too sudden.
Claeric:
Oh, I see. Doing it when you pause sounds pretty lame, then.
When it runs through the autosave files, I assume it starts over and overwrites the first one, etc?
J. M. Pescado:
That is generally how things are done, yes.
