This mode is recommended while the Sim raises its mood and needs, thus letting you look over the rest of the family as well. You can still select tasks, but once they are done, the Sim will do whatever they want(besides going to Town Square).

• Direct Mode - In Direct Mode, you are playing as the Sim. You make every selection as well as control the Sim's movement. You are responsible for taking acre of your Sim's needs.
