About This Mod
When you leave Sims without any interactions in Sims 4, they tend to autonomously complete certain tasks. This includes watching TV, reading a book, playing chess, or even sleeping. These actions are a bit grating and frustrating, which is why you need the Better Autonomy mod. It rebalances your Sim’s autonomous behaviors, ensuring they complete more useful actions such as cleaning, working, and socializing. The point of the mod is for your Sim to stop doing mindless tasks and focus on skill-building and prioritizing.
