As I’ve been playing the game I decided to write down my ideas to keep track of them, and also so that I don’t forget them. I’m sure others most likely have talked about these as well, but i shall toss my two cents into the mix!
First starting off with transportation in the game. I love that zois can ride the bus and even drive cars. We aren’t stuck with them teleporting everywhere. It’s so refreshing and it’s not a backstep into the lifesim genre!
Cars and Accidents: I love driving! I love that we can control driving similar to GTA! But maybe driving can be made even more immersive. The accidents that happen now seem so random - though quit entertaining. My one zoi was on his motorcycle and he hit the back of a car in front of him. The zoi was an elderly driver, and though I got the pop up saying there was no major damage cause, the old man DIED! And my zoi only had a negative moodlet saying he witnessed a death. He didn’t go to jail. He didn’t get fined. His insurance rates didn’t increase. There was nothing negative that happened.
With accidents I feel there should be damage done to both vehicles involved. Having to send the car to the collision shop to be repaired. Possibly even the auto insurance rates going up. And if there was a death caused then the zoi should face some jail time, or at least have to go to trial. If injured, those injures should show. Even having the option of the zoi having to be in the hospital and taking time off of work to recover.
Parking: I really would love to be able to park my zoi’s car without it vanishing into thin air. Not just on their home lots in the parking slab or in the garage, but also out in public. Being able to parallel park, or use the parking lots would be great. And there’s just something so satisfying watching your zoi climb into their vehicles!
Bikes: We now have scooters and motorcycles, but how about bikes for adults and kids! There are already bike lanes in the game, so they have places to bike. As well as us being able to control them just live driving! Along with that the helmet feature can be added: not just for peddle bikes but the motorized ones as well. Helmets can be customized: picking your own colors and stickers and drawings! And wearing the helmets is an option not a default.
Jet skis, Skateboards, Roller-skates, and more!: There are so many hobbies and activities that can be added. But these activities just stuck out to me since we recently got Cahaya! Jet skis, can you just imagine watching your zoi zip around the open water on one of those bad boys! Or your skater zoi down at Muscle Beach enjoying the skate park, or zois rollerskating with the beach or park as their backdrop! And the option to build an indoor roller rink, or ice skating rink.
Lights: Auto lights for all or individual lights. Especially when zois go to sleep and the whole house stays light up. If you want the front porch light to stay on all night, you can toggle it that was while the rest of the house is dark. Or if you want it set to when a zoi exits a room the light goes out. And maybe an option to be able to set lights to turn on and off.
.) that’s a whole other tangent but anyways these are definitely things I’ve noticed too from your post.
