I have some concerns with reducing the number of zois spawned in the distance. One concern is the effect it may have on crime. Having zois spawn near your current zoi makes it difficult to time crimes when other zois are unlikely to walk past.
It may also be off-putting for players who use the point and click method (similar to the sims).
I don’t mind it being an option but I think the current system should be the default. New players will often look for ways to optimise performance but don’t often consider their options for improving aspects of simulation.
As someone with a low-end PC, I hadn’t considered the simulation aspect. I was really excited to hear about an option to help with gameplay for me. I do think having it as an option would be a great way to please nearly everyone.
Sounds a great idea especially as you are making it optional , Any way to help players whose pc’s might be struggling , Mine runs fine but on some scenes my fans are going mad so this will be handy for me if it eases the load
This will be excellent optional setting for those with PC’s that are struggling with high ZOI numbers.
I think the option is a great idea!
