Line 1:
'''Free will''' is a [[game option]] that enables [[Sim]]s to move and to perform certain actions without being directed by the player. Most of these actions are connected with their [[Motive|needs]], but they
A Sim's [[mood]] can affect which free will actions he or she will perform, and whether or not he or she will perform some actions as a result of free will.
Line 5:
Some interactions cannot be directed, but can happen [[autonomous reaction|autonomously]]. For example, a Sim can "Look out" a window or "Check out" a new object, but can't be told to do so without [[testingcheatsenabled]] or [[Game guide:Allmenus cheat|allmenus]] activated.

Some examples are looking for a [[career|job]], asking another Sim to move in, proposing engagement or [[marriage]], and [[woohoo]].

By default, free will is on in every game. In most games, it can be enabled or disabled from the "Game Options" menu; exceptions to this are ''[[The Urbz: Sims in the City]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2 Castaway]]'', in which free will does not exist.

Since free will is configured by Options (Using options.ini) in ''The Sims 3'' and ''[[The Sims Medieval]]'', it applies to all Sims and all towns regardless of the Sims being played.
''The Sims Medieval'' uses the same free will selection as ''The Sims 3''. There is an option to disable Free Will for the current selected Sim or pet.
==The Sims 3 for console==
Line 63:
==The Sims 4==
Free will in ''[[The Sims 4]]'' is similar to the system used in ''The Sims 3''. It is also possible to disable free will for the currently selected Sim while leaving it enabled for all other Sims.<ref>[http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/778314/can-we-turn-free-will-off-somehow "Can we turn Free will off somehow??"<!-- Bot Generated Title -->].
