You can get kids to shock teens and adults by having them stand on the rug; when they click on another sim, there's now an option for 'static shock' under the 'Prank' menu.
I'm not sure if it takes Grouchy or Playful or what, but I've seen where kids will do it autonomously - or, well, at least try to. I had one, a visitor, who apparently got distracted before completing the shock, because he was stuck with an evil expression and his finger sticking out for a while even while doing other things. It made for some amusing pictures. I've never actually seen the shock, though, so it's good to know it's not only an autonomous thing... |

I'll have to buy a rug so my identical twins can shock everyone! They only have one nice point each, and 10 playful, so I should think they'll enjoy it!

Today for the first time I saw a Sim autonomously chose to juggle. When I clicked on her with another Sim, I saw the option to join juggle.
I keep finding new things.

See, I had some twins like that. I tried the static shock rug thingy for the first time with them yesterday, and now, its the only thing they seem to be doing.  Nasty evil children....... |

Oh, well, it's hardly Anna and Belle's fault, father Kane has only one nice point too! And father No2 Aron only has 3! Today for the first time I saw a Sim autonomously chose to juggle.

My sims have been juggling autonomously since Sims2 - if they need fun and they're in the kitchen, they juggle! (But I don't use things like the skillinator to keep them busy!) |

No, not juggling with bottles -- juggling with balls. I can't get Sims to join in on *bottle* juggling. |

I recently saw a couple shoo a ghost out of the room when they were about to woohoo. New one on me.
And I finally saw a pregnant sim rub her own belly and hold her aching back. I had heard about that, but had never in all this time seen it. I think because I just started playing free-will off, so it's something they do when they're standing around with no orders.

I love it when a father autonomously "talks to belly"!

Ooh, I just saw that pregnant woman rubbing her belly and back thing too since I started playing with Freewill off. It was so cute.

I should say she was trying to tell YOU something!

That she was completely satisfied, since all her needs were met and she had nothing she had to get done?  |

Or simply that she was bored!

Well, I have all my Sims on macrotastics, and she had nothing else to do at that time. It was right after she had finished doing something, and right before Power Idle kicks in and tells her to sit on the couch quietly. So, if she's going to be bored after only one minute of inactivity, then I've been letting her live too much of the good life! Next time, I'll make her clean.  |

Well, maybe she wanted the freedom of choice to do her own thing and make her own mistakes?

I've been playing Dina Caliente for the first time ever (well, I always married her off to Mortimer to get her out of my way) and she has introduced two firsts to me. One night, she went up and tucked Alexander Goth in (I thought they only did this to their own children) and I caught her rubbing her pregnant belly a day or two later. She's kind of adorable.

They'll tuck in any child they recognise as family. Teens will also tuck in their younger siblings.
I married her off to a Romance sim with a daughter in one game, she had her own baby soon after and she was a very good mother, despite being so lazy!

I use freewill on (they're so boring otherwise) and I've recently noticed the rubbing the belly idle more often, too. Of course, I use the various macros and things enough that their needs are usually always green anyway, so they have more chance to now than they did before, I suppose...

I hate playing with freewill off, you get none of the really cool sutonomous actions! So, me too, I paly with freewill on all the time. I put some sims into a Maxis lot once and couldn't make out why they just stood around, till I checked and put freewill on - it must have been set to off!

Dictator! Isn't that why we play this Barbies for Grow'd ups? Good one! I never did outgrow Barbies, and I have grandchildren playing with them now! I leave freewill on, and occassionally I see a pg mom rub her belly. Also see dad-to-be talk to belly, and after the baby's born they'll talk to the baby (play peek-a-boo) while mom's holding it. And just recently I've had parents and siblings (even child siblings) sit down and play with a toddler while the toddler is playing with a toy. And I seem to have more sims writing in their diaries lately. I think I have only seen that once or twice pre-NL, but now I have one sim who will sit down and write if I leave him alone for more than a few sim minutes! |

Oh man, with every single Legacy I've started (and there's been a few  ), my Sims are always plopping themselves on the ground to write in their diary. I mean, seriously, what is there to write about  "Dear Diary, Today I moved into a giant empty plot of land, and I have barely enough to stay alive over the next week. I'll spend all my time learning how to cook and clean. Oh man, I wish I could have a TV! Nothing to do except study until dark, pounce on any townie that walks by and pester them on the phone until they agree to be my friend. Then I go to sleep and to work and it all starts over again." |
