UPDATES: Visual Update. Options are hopefully clearer now.

Fixing this mod took a very long time because I had to play the game in order to test it, which was a major hassle in and of itself.
The mod does the same things it did before; it lets you fine-tune autonomy for a single Sim, turning off annoying behaviour or autonomy for that Sim only.
I changed the order of the groups and added tooltips to all of the interactions to make them easier to find.


There is a section in the motives autonomy called "Improve Autonomy." These choices will help Sims better satisfy their own needs.

MAJOR ADDITION
Requires Parenthood
I added the ability to set routines by clicking on the family board in Parenthood. The family board must be present on the lot for this choice to appear.

To begin, click on Enable Schedule. When the schedule is active, the following new options will appear:

Keep in mind that the cooking schedule will only show up if at least one Sim in the family has more than two cooking skill points.
Setting a schedule will make sure that the chosen Sim does the chosen task at the given time.
For instance, you can tell a Sim to cook at a certain time, and you can choose different times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner:



To guarantee that dinner is ready at the specified time, the Sim will begin the chosen action one hour before. This is true for all choices, not just the cooking schedule.
The same goes for the sleeping schedule: if needed, Sims will take care of their bladder and hygiene before bed, and at the given hour, the chosen Sim will be put to bed (the mod drains the Sim's energy to red ensure their autonomy).

In addition, the family board allows you to activate some Autonomy option for numerous Sims at once:

The optional "global files" let you turn on certain options for all of your Sims, like turning off emotional walks for all of them. You can then turn them on for just one Sim from the mod pie menu.

Also, I'm sorry I haven't been around lately; I was working on this one.

Hey sorry; any idea why “enable schedule” on the family board isn’t showing up for me?
Jordan
Sadly... No. I've been trying to stop that for years but it seems to be pushed on the script side with no way to stop it in tuning.

Damn, was hoping this could be a fix for toddlers asking to be picked up for everything. Thanks for letting me know.
Jordan
No, if you have autonomy off and actions queuing by themselves, they're pushed (for example, the "run inside" from seasonal storms) and have nothing to do with autonomy, they need to be stopped in other ways.
Courtney Chadwick-Annan
Will this have any effect if I have autonomy off already? Like stopping certain actions queuing up by themselves?

Link in the post right at the beginning.

Greetings! Is it possible to make the toggle a shift+click interaction so that it's not in the social menu?

I played the game with only this mod inside... Not something I would recommend to anyone wants to keep their sanity

This very quickly became my favourite mod when you released it, it's genius. Thank you so much for updating it! The routines on the Parenthood board is brilliant. Also - LOL @ Fixing this mod took a very long time because I had to play the game in order to test it, which was a major hassle in and of itself.

Thanks! I'm working on putting my stuff in order after a disaster while switching my pc so some mods might still be out of date

Oh my goodness. How how how have I not had this mod?! I cannot wait to try it out. I've been using some of your other mods for a while with no issues. I am a news supporter though.
