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. On the other hand, Sims will '''''not''''' do certain things unless directed to by the player, even if Free Will is enabled. Some examples are looking for a [[career|job]], asking another Sim to move in, proposing engagement or [[marriage]], and [[woohoo]].
 
In ''[[The Sims 2]],'' ''[[The Sims 3]]'', and ''[[The Sims 4]]'', [[mod]]s can prevent Sims from performing some actions as a result of free will. These "no autonomy" mods generally target a specific action, such as juggling espresso cups, diary-writing, or checking out new objects. Other mods may "nerf" specific free will actions by limiting when and/or where they can be performed.
 
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]]''. Beginning with ''The Sims 2'', it is set for each lot, and will be on when a family moves into a new lot.
