BG - Autonomy Toggle (Patreon)

This is a mod I did when I tried to fix another mod I was using for the same purpose, and then decided that I didn't like that mod at all in the end, and decided to work a mod that did the same thing but that I actually like. Originally I shared it on Tumblr only to avoid the usual copyright shit that always arise in this cases, but i now decided that I don't give a fuck about this kind of "problems" and I'm going to officially release it.

The purpose of this mod is to disable autonomy on a singular sim basis. The new option "autonomy" allow to disable autonomy or to set the autonomy to specific behaviour. 

Here is a quick explanation of the various settings:

- No sleep and Eat: when this option is active, the sim will not take care of the energy and hunger motive at all, it will have autonomy on for all the other things, but you will have to direct him or her to eat and sleep (the purpose of this option is to avoid naps and quick meals)

- Do not disturb: when this option is active, other sims will be less likely to pick that sim for a chat (the purpose of this option is to prevent other sims from joining the conversation during dates, the option must be active on both sims)

- Remove umbrella and Disable umbrella: remove umbrella instantly removes the umbrella user trait from the sim, disable umbrella always removes the umbrella on loading the household (to prevent sims from being given umbrellas when rotating household)

- Disable mourning: self explanatory

- Disable Phone Use: Self explanatory

- Turn off autonomy: turns off autonomy for that sim, the autonomy for washing hands is untouched because disabling it would disable also the washing hands after toilette.

- PreRoll Off: disable the preroll autonomy. When you load a lot you can see the sims doing random things like browsing web and such. I don't like it and prefer to find my sims just standing there. This option disable the random stuff the sim do on loading a lot.

- Houseworks: allows to set the autonomy to focus only on cleaning, gardening or fixing things, the sim that has one of the options active will not take care of any need and will only focus on the task

- Behavior: there are various options to choose from, for example, Play Instruments will have the autonomy to focus on that alone, you need to keep an eye on needs when one of these options is active

- Turn off/on autonomy for... : while all the other options are based on traits and as such, they stick when you travel or rotate household, the ones under this menu are based on buffs alone and do not stick or in any case, are easier to remove. I made it this way because I wanted the options under this menu to be active on NPCs too, but to not stick if I forget to turn them off. There are various options, for example, it allows to turn off autonomy for reading or dancing. 

All the options work on singular sim basis. 

This mod requires the XML Injector to work (From the comments section updated by Triplis, it still works)

Added:

Use Logical Meal Times: sims on full autonomy will not be allowed to eat outside meal times, they're allowed to autonomously eat only from roughly 6 am to 9 am, from 12 pm to 3 pm and from 7 pm to 10 pm

Use Logical Sleep Time: sims on full autonomy will not be allowed to sleep outside sleep time, this varies depending on age, children and elders are allowed to autonomously go to bed roughly starting from 9 pm, teens from 10 pm, everyone else not before 11

Allow Autonomous Repair: unlike the forced autonomy to repair, this one can be kept active and allows Sims to autonomously repair stuff, because in game they don't as far as I know. The autonomy isn't pushed in any way, because what happens when you force it is that they get obsessed with repairing broken elettronics under the rain, and I already had a very bad experience with an autonomous repairing mod at the geek con once. So they might or might not repair the broken stuff. They're also allowed to upgrade things autonomously when this is active.
