when free will is off, it should be OFF, no more AI interactions with infants please!

Ever since the infant update, sims interact with their infants even when free will is off. I know sims are supposed to do bare minimum on their own to keep themselves from dying when free will is off, but they shouldn't be constantly putting their infant in the crib and etc. And when free will is on, what the player directs the sim to do should be more important than autonomous AI interactions.
I know y'all probably had good intentions of not wanting to support child neglect, but it makes it difficult to even play the game when sims don't do what you tell them to do. And now turning free will off doesn't even work because random AI interaction that baby didn't even really need takes priority over everything. Social services is in the game, let it take the baby away if I neglect my child! Please re-tune the sim autonomy, and let free will really be OFF when I turn it off. I like to do time management with my household on my terms and I don't want my sims disobeying me.

Hello, EA? It's just a game, it's not real. I promise, no pixelated babies will cause world suffering if you allow players to tell stories of parental neglect. You all have already put a safety net in place to prevent death for certain age groups and neglect brings social workers, so what are you afraid of? These choices should not be taken away from us. If that's how it's going to be moving forward, you might as well just make a linear MMO and call the death of the series.
Autonomous actions seem to be increasing. And I don't "think" it's a bug. Seems to be by design.
especially annoying with infants cause sims will just keep placing them in crib or down or on playmat when all you wanted to do was simple interaction and it only gets more jumbled when the infant actually needs something and all the sims in household start fighting over whos doing it
instead of any of them actually doing the thing
also don't get me started on autonomous celebrity worship,
randomized townies becoming celebrities on their own
and sims putting themselves into your sims conversations uninvited when they're on a freaking date
actually a thought I wonder if having whole neighborhood possessed would help since it limits the interactions the sim can perform hmmmm

I've never understood simmers who say that you can't live in Strangerville because everybody's possessed. That's just the local color. Some people want to be judgemental.
-Yes, person I barely know, you have my blessing to hang out with Johnny Zest.
-No person with the mean, hot-headed and self-absorbed traits, I don't think you should get married.
Haha, honestly though I have a couple sims living there and it’s fine? You occasionally see 3 possessed NPCs walking around but they’re just funny.
Yea the amount of possessed sims are barely noticible. I actually wish there was a way to make hordes of possessed sims surrounding my house 😩🤣
Are there any mods out yet that fix this?
