Um.
Maybe I'm just missing something here, and not to take anything away from Paralives or whatever, but...
Uh...
No...
Sims have been able to autonomously do that stuff ever since the original The Sims. If a Sim is hungry, they will go and make a meal on their own. If a Sim needs to use the bathroom, they will damn well use the bathroom on their own. In fact, whenever I played The Sims games, one of the first things I would always do was turn the autonomy off for my own Sim households (for the later ones that let you do that, anyway), because I actually got tired of them wandering off to use the bathroom or eat or read or watch TV or play in the sprinkler or whatever on their own when I was in the middle of trying to make other plans for them. Like, sometimes they would actually interrupt and delete my queue of actions I'd laid out for them to go do their own thing, and that was rather irritating. And I figure if I ever played Paralives, I'd likely do the same thing in that, as well, at least for the characters I was directly controlling, assuming such a thing will even be possible or allowed in that game.
So... yeah, not sure where this whole "Paralives characters can do this stuff that The Sims characters can't" thing is even coming from.
(Honestly, at least for the time being, I am marginally more interested in Life By You than I am in either Paralives or whatever next to nothing I've heard about The Sims 5 so far.)
