Cats/Dogs Expansion - Slave mod potential!

[lunatorra]

I've always wanted unplayable spouse and children, because controlling everyone isnt immersive.
 

PETS are unplayable members of your household! This seems like a grand opportunity for modders, but I dont know how it all works, from a technical standpoint.

EA has laid the foundation, and modders should be able to take it from here, applying the pet behavior to sims. That's what i'd like to think  Then you'd have non-player family members that take care of themselves or do specifically what you tell them to. 

Has anyone heard about modders trying to do anything like this with the expansion? Is it even possible?
My life would be complete

It would be a disaster. Sims haven't known how to take care of themselves for a while now. They're too easily distracted by other things. It would've worked at launch when autonomy actually worked pretty well.

 

If you want to test this, play a household and don't give them any commands. They'll be miserable within a few days.

It would be better to play The Sims 3 with the University Life expansion if you want such a thing as it is entirely possible to marry college classmates and roommates who have full autonomy which they retain even after moving into the household following the marriage.
