1. Add More Gameplay Objects
-
Cahaya DLC doesn’t seems to have any new gameplay objects that assessible in build mode. New mechanics and gameplay objects are most important part of DLC. I suggest to add a few, especially if can be interacted with multiple Zois.
-
2-Player Arcade
- Interactions: Play, Play together (2 Zois)
- Results: Win / Lose
-
Pile of Sands with Shovel/Bucket
- Interactions: Build sandcastle, Build sandcastle together (2-4 Zois), Stomp Playfully
- Affected Skill : Creativity / Art
- Results: Normal sandcastle / Ugly sandcastle / Failed Sandcastle
-
Frisbee
-
- Interactions: Practice, Play together (2 Zois)
- Results: Normal / Missed
-
Volleyball Net
- Interactions: Practice, Play together (2-4 Zois)
- Affected Skill : Fitness
- Results: Win / Lose
-
Couple Jetski
-
- Works similar to motorcycles, but on the water.
- Can be ride by 2 Zois.
-
Picnic Mat (Reworks)
-
- Interactions: Sit, Sit Together (2-4 Zois)
- Works similar to dining table with 4 chairs, but sitting on mat.
- Can put any foods in the middle.
- Can chat or eat while sitting.
-
Campfire (Reworks)
-
- Interactions: Sit, Sit Together (2-4 Zois)
- Same mechanics like picnic mat. Just copy it.
- Sitting on ground should be infinite like sitting on chairs, not few seconds interaction.
- Can chat, eat marshmallow or roast fish while sitting.
-
2. Add More NPC Kids in Cahaya
-
There aren’t many NPC kids seen in Cahaya, and also in other cities. I haven’t seen any kids appearing around beaches or on the streets. It will make Cahaya look more lively.
-
At the beaches, make them do playful activities like blowing bubbles, ask for surfing lesson, dancing near the water, running around, playing with other kids, etc.
3. Improvements for NPC Motorcycle Riders
-
Add visor to NPC motorcycle riders, they looks better with it than sunglasses. It could hide their face & expressions.
-
Apply the same player’s animations for NPC Motorcycle Riders, like putting legs down when braking or stopping at traffic.
4. Add “Cahaya DLC” Exclusive Foods
-
Add more new food variety for base game objects. Either available in Cahaya city only, or expanded altogether after DLC installed.
5. Add “Cahaya DLC” Secret Discoveries
-
“Resort Island” Mascot NPC
- In Resort Island or “Sri Lestari Resort Facilities”, there will be a working NPC wearing mascot to entertain and welcome tourists. Other NPC Zois can be seen interacting with this mascot to take pictures, selfies and be entertained.
- Idea 1 : Mascot only appears during certain days. Maybe on Wednesday during treasure hunting event.
- Idea 2 : You may unlock a special rewards interaction if you build good relationship with the mascot. Maybe a rare golden turtle souvenier.
-
Fully Grown Trees in Deserted Island
- Add a few random fully grown trees that players can harvest from (mangoes, bananas, etc).
- The trees won’t vanish after harvesting, but there will be cooldown until the next harvesting available.
- Anyone can harvest because there’s no owner in deserted island.
6. Improvements for Retail Shelves
-
Add an option to buy snacks from retail shelves to put in bag (1 item or set quantity). This should also apply to other similar shelves as well.
-
This will make places like “shops/retail/marts” feels more functional like an actual mart, to be able to buy snacks in any quantity.
7. Add NPC “Role/Job-Position” Info
-
When we mouse over (highlight) working NPC Zois, we should be able to see their role or job position info. So it’s easier to know whether they’re just a regular Zoi or have a specific role in the city. This should apply to all places including active career lots.
8. Add “City-Based Tasks” by NPC
-
If you reached a certain level of business relationship with working NPC Zois in the city, there might be an option to “Ask if Need Any Help”. Sometimes, they may offer you tasks with some rewards.
-
Certain tasks are available depending on their moods, needs or thoughts. For example, if they’re sick from illness, they might offer a task to give them medicine.
-
Tasks :
- Clean the streets
- Throw away trashes
- Take photos for tourists
- Send letters / postcards
- Find thief / lost item
- Craft/cook something
- Give items (crops/fishes/collectibles/gems/foods/medicine/etc)
-
Rewards :
- Money / Purr coins / Any rewards
- Business relationship level increases+++
-
Examples :
9. Improvements for “Sri Lestari Resort Facilities”
-
Turtlebot Race Track
- Make the game duration slower and longer. Other Zois couldn’t watch/support/react to the game because the duration was way too short and ended so quickly.
-
Spas
- Make each spa treatment duration much longer. It feels too short for relaxation activity.
- Give each spa treament different animations:
- Aromatherapy massage : Calm animation
- Sport massage : Speedy animation
- Deep tissue massage : Strong animation
- Make the spa therapists do other activities while there’s no customers:
- Spray the seating
- Clean the massage table
- Welcome/hi/nod/wave at customers
-
Sauna
- Give different animations based on Zoi’s mood.
- Bad mood : Uncomfortable animation
- Normal mood : Neutral animation
- Good mood : Relieved animation
- Give different animations based on Zoi’s mood.
10. Additional Improvements & Fixes
-
Add Animations to Driver & Passengers (To Look Realistic)
- Motorcycles
- Give rider & passenger a head tracking to surrounding, looking around animation, or slight idling animation, to a least to make them look alive.
- Boats/Cars
- Give passengers the same sitting animations like how they sit on chairs.
- Motorcycles
-
Add Simple “House Rental” System
- When travel city, player can select any residental lot in the map to rent instead of buying. Each day passes in Cahaya, money will be automatically charged.
- If not enough money, Zois will be kicked out and have 2 options:
- Travel back to home city
- Find another place to rent
-
Add “Sales Mat/Stand” for NPC
- Add a few “Sales Mat/Stand” objects around the streets to be used by NPC, or even player (if empty).
- If NPC is using it, they will sell items based on specific theme:
- Fishes only
- Gems only
- Vegetables only
- Fruits only
- Snacks only
- Mixed Items
-
Gardening Update
- Harvesting shouldn’t vanish the trees that we already grew for many days. Instead, there will be cooldown until the next harvesting available.
-
Sales Items Update
- Once sale event ended, items remaining on the table/mat should stay and not reset.
- To make placing items on table/mat easier, allow mouse drag & drop items directly from bag inventory.
Having NPCs in the city give out small, time-limited tasks would really make the world feel more interactive and alive. Things like cleaning, deliveries, or taking tourist photos sound fun and lightweight, but still rewarding.
