TUTORIAL (More or Less)- Tuning autonomy with Buffs...
🕑 Added 2020-09-29 13:55:07 +0000 UTC...Instead of interactions.
Lots of people turn off/on the autonomy of the interactions working directly on the interactions. This is a problem for a number of reasons:
1. Maxis messes around with interactions a lot when a patch comes out, while traits and buffs are often left alone;
2. For things like the computer, you have to alter a whole lot of interactions in order to turn off autonomy, and you can't control the interactions coming from other mods if the modder didn't turn the autonomy off.
I use a different approach in my game:
Game effects modifier.
You can use this approach to tune the autonomy for all the interactions in a specific list (like computer list), with a specific tag, like in the first example (where I tuned to 0 the autonomy for elders to perform all the interactions tagged as dance skills, or computer), or on a single interaction basis:
With a score of zero, it reduces the chance of the autonomy to pick that interaction to 0, unless another buff messes with it. This is also the method my autonomy toggle uses to turn off/on autonomy for things. You need to look at the TDESC to have a clear idea of all the tings you can do with a trait, a buff, and game effect modifiers (for example, the autonomy of the Strangerville zombies, and the autonomy of the EL policies, is all based on this)
For example, to have a global effect on all sims like turning off the pre-roll autonomy or the constant running, I added buffs on the human trait:
This way, my modifications apply to every single sim in game, without messing around with to many interactions (and having to update every single time).

the club buffs may override the modifications to these ones, you better act directly on the club rule clubInteractionGroup_Spells_CastSpells and remove the spells from there (maxis barelly touches these)

Would this work to turn autonomy off for certain spells (especially Inferniate & Burgliate) during Club gatherings that have the Cast Spells activity?
