Natural disasters and extreme weather should have a greater impact. The aftermath of weather events should provide both good and bad karma opportunities. Below are some ideas I had:
ATMs breakdown for a short time after a flood or dust storm. During this time, zois cannot use ATMs to donate, deposit or withdraw money but will find them easier to hack.
Homeless people become ill: zois can provide first aid after a dust storm or flood or provide an umbrella to shade them from the sun during a heatwave.
If you have any ideas for natural disasters, please feel free to share in this thread…
Power failure when there’s a storm, a blizzard, etc.
Block the entrance of the house if there’s a blizzard, let the Zois dig out lol.
Make floor slippery with ice and puddles (require special boots you can equip like the umbrella, else you might slip)
When it’s snowing it’d be amazing once the car update happens if we could change the tires during winter for snow weather.
I’d love to see a second phase of the storm to have a very low chance to become hail, which could hit your Zoi if you’re outside.
I’d love to see Zois getting sun burns during summer and more during heat waves. Maybe heat wave can have a small chance to set some things on fire.
Maybe during a storm you have a chance to fry electronics when used (tvs, radios, dish washer, coffee machines, etc.) would make the repair guy more useful i guess.
Also, no restrictions on weather - put a check box option to allow extreme weather.
It would be also interesting to have:
typhoon/tornado seasons - zois who go out have to brace themselves while walking and umbrellas can go flying.
humid seasons (not just dry heat) - reactions where energy and hygiene deplete more quickly and urge to take a shower is prompted.
earthquake tremors where things can shake/break (e.g. need to replace tv/stove/fridge, plumbing)
Maybe tsunami/flood warnings
