I’m wondering if it would be possible to add the ability to assign a wardrobe to each zoi in the family, just like beds are assigned. If the player didn’t do this, then one wardrobe would serve all household members. The ability to personalize wardrobes in bedrooms would prevent family members from wandering around the entire apartment and rummaging through other zois’ belongings. If there’s no room to create a separate space as a wardrobe room, this solution would improve the immersion of gameplay.

The situation with computers looks similar. Now it’s hard to figure out who should do their homework where because parents occupy computers in their children’s rooms, while children play games on the computer in the office, which should be used for work. The best option would be for zois to look for their own computer, but the player could force the use of equipment of their choice.

I’ve already written about it here Zois will use the wardrobe next to the bed, not the one next to it. And so yes, with computers, why not. I agree.

And now for the developers, a hint on how to do it.::smile: (I mean, with cabinets, with computers, everything is clear what to do) If the Zoi is tied to a specific bed, then make tracking of the closet in two directions:

  1. The presence in the room where this bed is located. It can be implemented using the function of finding objects in the Collider of an entire room (as Trigger). This is a top priority.
  2. Calculate the distance between the designated bed and the closet. The bottom line is that Zois will go to the closet that is closest to the designated bed. This should be a secondary priority. Just don’t force the game to do calculations every frame - it’s not necessary. You can do this calculation once when exiting the construction mode, since the bed will not change its position in the game mode.

The point is that Zoi will search for a closet when it is in the same room as the designated bed. If he’s not there, then he’s looking for the closet that’s closest to the designated bed.
