The strange things sims do on high free will

Today my sim did the weirdest thing I've ever witnessed one of my sims do on their own.
A little back story... My sim was married until she caught her husband cheating on her and promptly gave him his marching orders. Shortly after she kicked him out, she discovers she is pregnant with his son.
Fast forward to earlier today... I had her doing the laundry when suddenly her toddler son begins crying his eyes out with exhaustion. She proceeds on her own to put him to bed, all good and well, that's what I would have had her do next if she hadn't gone to do it herself. Until she suddenly cancels the action and runs out of the door and hops into her car :hunf:
I was curious to see where she was headed so I left her to it. Having no idea what she was up to, I hovered over the icon in the corner, and the action said "ask to be friends".
She then proceeded to drive all the way to the junk yard (in SV) where her ex-husband currently was, and asked him if they could be friends!
What on earth?? I've never had a sim leave the house with no instuction before. And why she randomly decided she just HAD to be friends with her cheating ex husband is beyond me. "Oh, my kid is screaming, but I think right now would be a great time to patch things up with my ex"
And how in the world did she know he just happened to be at the junk yard? Psychic sims? Or was she following his scent or something??
Has anything crazy ever happened in anyone else's games with sims on free will?

That made me laugh. How mean of me. Haha. Those poor nosy sims. Should have stayed in bed :P
Eventually someone put the kids to bed so he had a sandwich then went for a swim :P strange man, His sleep was basically nil and he wants to swim..
My inappropriate hot headed dad likes autonomously yelling at his children, he wakes them up to yell at them sometimes.
Also my sims ALWAYS play with the sprinkler by themselves. I had to lock it in my vegetable garden so only the gardener sim could get near it, it's really annoying.
Yeah, I find the sprinkler thing annoying too. I usually make sure I have plants surrounding it so my sims can't play with it. But even then they stomp their feet and wave their hands about when they can't get to it.
So many entertaining things to do around the house and they get huffy that they can't play with a sprinkler :roll:
My sim keeps autonomously wanting to go to sleep at night when she has full energy (she's a bit of a night owl). She isn't a heavy sleeper or a couch potato or anything, I have no idea why she does it. XD Also she constantly wants to play with the slip-and-slide outdoor swim mat thing that comes with Generations. Every 5 minutes. It's annoying. ^_^;
That probably won’t happen until Sims4 comes out. :P
My Eggs and Hatchlings:
Then on the opposite side, i get some that just can't stand to be around each other unless forced.
I have a dad at the moment that loves chatting with his kids. But out of the clear blue today, haveing never rode a horse in his life, he goes out saddles his daughters horse and mounts. I was like what the hadies are u doing, then he goes off for a ride. returning only when his rump is so sore he can't stand it any more.
At the moment thats all I can think of that has happened that i remember right off the bat. I know theres more. I just love high freewill, and the off the wall things they might do.
Lol. Yeah, of course the pop up for a babysitter or to stay there appeared. She wouldn't have been able to leave otherwise.
The babysitter came and out the kid to bed, but that doesn't really take from the fact she abandoned him in the first place. Fantastic parenting!
Yeah, I always use it for romantic interests, because that cheater thing can be a bit of a pain. But I don't often use it for sims that are already exes. I tend to keep them as "ex" status. Never really had a sim who felt the need to go out of her way to be her friends with her ex out of the blue before though.
Hatchlings and Eggs oh my :-o
Well, you know what they say....the tv is always better at the....other...house. Or something along those lines.
My sim, Preston, is apparently too attractive for his own good in my game. His oldest son's girlfriend would always sneak off and try and flirt with Preston. All the time. She'd leave romantic interactions I was making her do with her actual boyfriend, but she'd walk off as soon as she could to try and put the moves on Preston. The SAME THING happened with the girlfriend of Preston's second oldest son. All without my doing and with high free will.
Crazy sims trying to make a soap opera. Ha.
My sims are pretty boring. They only want to do one thing when I leave them to do their own thing. As a result, I often have babies in the game that I have not planned on :roll:
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
I have more but I can't remember them at the moment :P
Haha that made me burst out laughing. It's like 2 AM so I hope I didn't wake anyone... xD
