Trying to disable NPC/Townies from doing this on TV's globally.
What I did was settings > By Object > TV > Workout > Disable autonomous inc everything else ex User directed and set fun to 0.

Didn't work lol. Uncontrolled sim still goes to work out so I am missing another setting?

What is Interaction Autonomy in the root menu btw and how does this affect my world?

EDIT: I think I know what happened. First the sim was Athletic but I would think disabling auto workout would keep them from doing that so I got rid of that trait, also I was resetting the sim each time I fiddled with the settings to see the outcome and again he kept going back to workout. Maybe resetting the sim doesn't work. After getting rid of Athletic trait he no longer tries to workout... So far lol

Is this one of the Retuner settings that doesn't take effect until you reload the game? I don't actually know which settings are affected, just that some exist.

That prolly was the reason it didn't work. I dread the wait reloading so I was hoping I didn't have to lol
