I want to be able to choose which aspects of Smart zoi are active and which are not. Not an all or nothing like it is now.
The prompts are essential, the inner thoughts fun and informative (even if the ones after the September update are more like boring status updates than thoughts) But I do like getting the information about their motivations.
However - the new autonomy actions that Smart zoi is doing is a game killer.
Idle is no longer allowed, lets send them to DO something. But idle is when they are open for interactions.
I played two full days with a six person household and was bored out of my mind.
It consisted of "Everyone is busy so I’ll just… " - fill in the blank with read a book, play guitar, look at a painting and so on.
But what happens then is that they are constantly busy, so no one can start an interaction with another zoi unless they get lucky.
My main Zoi levelled up instrument from 7 to 10 in two days. So, so many books were read, but no conflicts, no chatting among them.
It was horrible.
I know I could call this a bug report, but it is less a bug and more a miscalibration. And what I want is to be able to turn it off - the other parts of Smart zoi are great, I need those, but this… this is not working well.
Edited to add:
My malicious Zoi usually spent his days Posting False info online, arguing with mother-in-law, playing some guitar, taking a bath, doing some overtime work, playing with the kids etc.
With Smart zoi on he plays guitar and reads books - period.
It is like a lobotomized version of him.
I think moods are partly to blame as well, play guitar once, get inspired → I should read an art book to get more inspiration.
