'''Free will''' is a [[game option]] that enables [[Sim]]s to move
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.
Some interactions
In ''[[The Sims 2]],'' ''[[The Sims 3]]'', and ''[[The Sims
By default, free will is on in every game. In most games, it can be enabled or disabled from the "Game Options" menu
Handheld versions of ''The Sims'' (except ''The Sims 2 Pets'' for PSP) do not have a free will option.
Even if free will is disabled, Sims may still move without player direction if
==The Sims era==
Free will in ''[[The Sims]]'' can be enabled or disabled, and is enabled by default. Unlike later games in the series, free will in ''The Sims'' is a global option, even though it can only be enabled or disabled while playing a lot. If free will is disabled, it will be disabled for all lots in all neighborhoods. If free will is disabled, selectable Sims will not do anything without player direction, though visitors and pets{{vgversion|Unleashed}} will always have free will.
If cheating occurs,
In ''[[The Sims (console)|The Sims]]'' for console and ''[[The Sims Bustin' Out]]'', free will is similar to ''The Sims''.

==The Sims 2==
In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', free will is no longer global, and can now be enabled or disabled for each individual house. Free will is more advanced than in ''The Sims''. Sims will generally make better choices, but may decide to do things such as make a very filling meal when they're only slightly hungry. Sims may make free will choices even while the player is looking though an object's menu. When making free will decisions to use objects, Sims in ''The Sims 2'' are notably poor about judging whether or not another Sim is already using them. For example, Sims may repeatedly attempt to use or clean a shower or bathtub when another Sim is using it.<ref>[http://cyjon.net/node/383 This mod] from Cyjon helps remedy this behavior.</ref>
With the ''[[The Sims 2: Pets|Pets]]'' [[expansion pack]], Sims will frequently interact with pets as a result of free will, and pets may autonomously seek to interact with Sims.
Sometimes, Sims who are [[Relationship#Inimical|enemies]] or [[Fury|furious]] may autonomously use negative socials, such as
==The Sims 2 (console)==
The ability to disable free will, which was removed in ''The Urbz: Sims in the City'', is restored.
If controlling a Sim in Direct Control, the Sim has no free will unless
==The Sims 2 Pets (console) and The Sims 2 Pets for PSP==
Free will is similar to, and behaves like, free will in ''The Sims 2''.
==The Sims Stories series==
Free will in ''[[The Sims Stories]]'' is similar to free will in ''The Sims 2'', and has the same features.
Note: In ''The Sims Castaway Stories'', free will can be disabled; unlike ''The Sims 2 Castaway'', in which free will cannot be disabled and the user is only allowed to set

''[[The Sims 3]]''
Unlike ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories'', Sims will not use negative socials unless the Sim has the [[mean spirited]] or [[Hot-headed (The Sims 3)|hot-headed]] traits, or if they are triggered by a specific action, such as being attacked or being kissed by another Sim.
▲''[[The Sims 3]]'' not only allows the player to turn free will on and off, but now has varying levels of High, Medium, Low, and Off. Free will does not only keep a Sim sustained in life with almost no player interaction, but will also choose interactions based on the Sim's [[trait]]s, [[favorite]]s, and how they are compatible with other Sims in socialization. For example, if a Sim has the [[Green Thumb]] trait, they will autonomously garden and take care of their plants and even talk to them. If a Sim knows the recipe for their favorite food they will be more likely to cook it than any other dish. Sims will give positive reactions and interactions to Sims who are compatible in traits and the opposite with non-compatible traits. With [[story progression]] on, this free will is more noticeable with other Sims not currently controlled by the player. Sim children will even do their [[School|homework]] if the free will is high enough. When free will is set to off, then Sims react autonomously only in order to save their lives.

==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 -->].
