Better AI for sims inside hosuehold?

Post by marcin7848 » September 19th, 2021, 5:27 am

Can I use NRaas Story Progression for better AI for sims in the household? Generally I would like to play one sim and turn off AI for him but for the rest - I would like to extend an AI. Doing things like: marrying, divorcing, making kids, taking jobs or getting fired, doing things for increasing experience for work etc. - everything by AI.

I'm curious. what exactly do mean with AI?
You can make a manual caste f.i. and give it to a sim directly or to the lot, so its valid for household or tune the active pemade caste.

Artificial Intelligence. Well it's not true AI but I mean all mechanisms that control sims in the game without any interaction from a player.

Ok, so if I understand correctly - I have to create a caste for my entire lot (so generally household) where I will add "Romance: Allow" and "Romance: Allow Mariage" and then - sims from my household with active free will that I don't control will be able to marriage someone else without my interactions?

StoryProgression settings mostly only push inactive sims to progress. For active sims, SP doesn't interfere much, although it can block certain actions. Some of the effects you want might be achievable with SP, but I think not all of them. For example, with the SP Careers add-on, you can allow active and inactive sims to choose work tones based on traits, whereas normally they'd almost always default to "Business as usual." The settings are under "Options: Careers > Auto Tones for Active" and "... Inactive."

I think that's about it though: for most of the other career-related details, SP will push advancement (or regression) on inactives, for example giving them skill increases, but won't touch your active sims.

For auto romance, SP itself won't push your active sims to do anything, or change their relationship status offscreen, so to speak. Many people use a mod by bluegenjutsu called More Romantic Autonomy, which allows simes to do things like propose and get married on their own. I think it comes in a couple different flavors depending on which interactions you want to be autonomous. For making babies, if this mod doesn't include any related settings, Woohooer can help, for example allowing autonomous woohoo and replacing woohoo with risky.

I think the following option in Master Controller is what you're really looking for. Please note, you will need both the Base mod and the Cheats module installed for this to work.
MasterController-Interactions#Selectability

Here's the corresponding FAQ for that option which helps to explain exactly what it does.

Hope this helps! :-)

I have used that in the past and only controlled 1 sim in the household and the others went about doing things on their own. It was easy to make them selectable again if needed also, like when one of them caught themselves on fire and no one was home to put them out...they really should have taught the sims "Stop, Drop, and Roll"
