Rainy

I have several over-full households but that's mostly extra pets.  My largest is 4 adults, a teen, a toddler, 2 dogs, and a cat.  I wasn't aware sims would autonomously follow whims.  I re-roll my seasons each household switch so I'm not sure if I'd notice the chili.  Especially since I stopped them cooking for the most part with MC Tuner/Scumbumo's Autonomy Scan.  I'll use whatever version is newest as well since, as you said, we can't give feedback otherwise.  

@coolspear After playing with the fun mod the whole day yesterday I have to say you're right.  Plus, as you noted there aren't a whole lot of fun items currently in any of the houses yet since I'm just setting up the neighborhood.  As to ignoring hunger, it's stopped happening completely.  And, I'd like to note in regards to the over-cooking that before I saw people's comments here I mentioned it on Twitter and several people, including vanilla gamers, said it's been a major problem in their games recently.  I'm wondering if perhaps your mod somehow strengthened an existing problem?

I don't play any of my really large households for a few more days so I can't give input on how the fun mod and the other work with them.  I can say, without a doubt, this mod has fixed one of my biggest irritations of late: sims dropping conversations to seek out things to clean.  Before this, they would have some sort of ESP knowing there was a dirty plate or pile of trash somewhere on the lot and completely obsess over it dropping social interactions even woohoo!  I have all of my sims social pretty much autonomous. first kiss, engagement, etc.  I even had a sim propose and then immediately leave their new partner to clean up trash outside.  I realized yesterday they've stopped this behavior completely!

Despite them occasionally dropping things from their queue before they start it that I need to redirect them to do I'm extremely pleased with the results.  To the point, I'm a bit hesitant to download the new slimmed down version.  Especially since I found a simple way to stop them from autonomously doing things that irritated me like playing with their phones using Scumbumbo's autonomy scan in MC Tuner.

In regards to the fun add-on. do you think it will live happily in my Overrides folder with PolarBearSim's socialization is fun mods?  They basically boost the fun they get from any social interaction so they're socializing with family, being romantic, and playing with babies more often autonomously.  With the add-on, I felt like all they did was play with their phones.  I even got the phone quirk on one of my sims.    But, I may not have given as much of a chance since I somehow didn't notice your mention of them ignoring needs as being the norm with this one and removed it after only a few hours testing.

4) Load up a normal sim, click on your sim. Select MCCC/Sim Commands/Teleport World Sim to this Sim

Go through all 16 sims. They should all be there. Teleport each one to your sim and set the flags NoAge and NoCull. Once done with each, just tell them to go away and proceed to the next.

For every new/existing world, you'll just need to do steps 3 & 4 again. The settings in 1 are saved externally and should remain for all saves.

 

TwistedMexi has a mod that allows you to add club credits.  What I did was make a club and then cheat them enough credits to get to eight sims.  But, MC Clubs now has the option to have more than 8.  So I add all of them to the one single club.  Start a meeting and viola.  It was really quick despite the fact I completely changed all of my AIO sims into what I call dhampirs by making them vampires and giving them the look of them and then making them human again.  I flagged them no age, no pregnancy, no marriage and I already have culling off.  Although at this time, I don't use story progression anyway I thought it best to be safe than sorry.  I made up a story that dhampirs are immortal and barren which explains them always being there but never marrying or having kids.

It doesn't seem to be working at all anymore sadly.  I noticed sims stopping their shower halfway through.  Or toddlers not finishing using the potty.  I finally realized what was happening is they were stopping to shoo the toddler or even a pet out of the bathroom.  How ridiculous is that?  They won't shower with a puppy in the room?  I wasn't having any problems until recently that I'd noticed.  It seems to be that if any sim walks into the bathroom mid-shower they just stop.  Hope that info helps locate the problem.
