G-Drive Folder
Base game
Bar : Limits the "bar make drink" autonomous behaviour. Stops visitors from using the object.
Chess [^] : Limits the "play chess" autonomous behaviour. Stops visitors from using the object.
Clean Up Toys : Limits autonomy to neat Sims and stops visitors from running the interactions.
Coffee/Tea : Tunes down autonomous behaviour. Stops visitors from using the object.
Dance : Tunes down autonomous behaviour.
Drink : Tunes down autonomous behaviour. Sims can only autonomously grab drinks from the kitchen sink if set.
Food : Tunes down autonomous behaviour. Stops visitors from grabbing snacks or cooking.
Grill : Tunes down autonomous behaviour. Stops visitors from grabbing snacks or cooking. Also limits the clean grill behaviour.
Instruments [^] : Tunes down autonomous behaviour. Stops visitors from using the objects.
PC/Videogames [^] : Tunes down autonomous behaviour.
Phone/Tablet [^] : Limits the autonomous behaviour. Stops visitors from using the tablet.
Reading : Tunes down autonomous behaviour.
Stereo : No turning on stereos while a Sim is sleeping.
Talk to Plants [^] : Tunes down autonomous behaviour.
TV [^] : Limits the autonomous behaviour. Stops visitors from using the object.
View Art : There are a lot of "view" interactions in game and they're all autonomous. This mod blocks most of them and limits the "view art" and "view sculpture" autonomy to museums and art centres.
Wash Hands [^] : Tunes down autonomous behaviour.
Watch Performance [^] : I'm sure you noticed too that the moment a Sim grabs an instrument all the Sims around rush to watch the performance even if they're just practising. This mod limits the behaviour.
Expansion Packs
Get To Work
Vending Machine (GTW Only) [^] : Limits the autonomous behaviour.
City Living
Bubble Blower CL : Increases the cooldown between uses.
Singing : Tunes down autonomous behaviour.
Discover University
Seasons
Seasons Play Interactions : Limits autonomy for some seasons interactions like playing on the swing to children and teens only (autonomy only)
Weather : this one isn't strictly autonomy, it decreases the chances to be hit by lightning by discouraging outside interactions.
Cottage Living
Watch Animals : Stops Sims from obsessing over the bird house from cottage living and especially from running the autonomy when it's raining or at night.
Cross Stitching : Tunes down autonomous behaviour.
Horse Ranch
Horses in the Rain : Maxis didn't bother adding a system to force horses under a roof while there is a storm outside like they did for pets. This fixes it by forcing horses to find a horse bed inside a building during storms.
Lovestruck
Watch Sky/Starry Sky : Tunes down autonomous behaviour. This interaction is very aggressive and disrupts gameplay when you have a couple and a lovechair on the lot, they get obsessed with watching the sky. Also, the NPC interaction had no time limit so Sims don't stop even if their needs are very low. The mod stops NPCs from picking sims on roles (like bartender) or the selected sim for this autonomy. It also blocks the autonomy unless sims are flirty.
Game Packs
Campfire [^] : Limits the light campfire autonomy to Granite Falls.
Cooler (Merged with BG food and drink): Tunes down autonomous behaviour.
Gross Interactions (Parenthood) [^] : Limits autonomy to Bad Manners Sims or Slob Sims (if they didn't get the Good Manners trait)
Make a Mess [^] : stop kids from making a mess in community lots
Yoga : Tunes down autonomous behaviour. Stops visitors from using the objects.
Plasma Packs : adds a restriction to only drink plasma packs autonomously when the vampire actually needs it so they don't consume them all in 5 minutes.
Stuff Packs
Ice Cream : Limits the autonomous behaviour. Stops visitors from using the object.
TV Workout : Enables autonomous TV workout.
Knitting : Limits the autonomous behaviour.
Rocking Chair : Tunes down autonomous behaviour.
Globe Bar : Tunes down autonomous behaviour.

dear god do you have one that limits the sims from making a WHITE WEDDING CAKE EVERYTIME THEY'RE HUNGRY

Hi there, can this tweak mod be used with autonomy toggle? And If I only want to focus on one household with 5 sims in it, is the autonomy toggle enough?
Jordan
It still works that way. Autonomy toggle is a whole different mod, I didn't notice you commented under the autonomy mods post. The one you're looking for is on curseforge or in the "active mods" collection here on patreon.
eldefinn
do you per chance still have the old version of the autonomy toggle somewhere? the one we accessed from clicking on sims directly? got too used to it and due to a dead drive, lost that golden version
Jordan
Which NPC mod? I'm not having crashes, but I'm having problems with the game too (with basically no mods)... do you have some LE so I can look into it?
CarmillaLaVampira
I've been having a lot of issues with the game, and all the errors say they're animations related to the Sims' "autonomy." The game crashes on me, or the Sims don't have interaction windows. And according to the AI, it's a game issue, not a mod issue. I just wanted to let you know because the NPC mod also crashed my game. Thanks for all you work, you are amazing!
