Continuing the discussion from About the Wishlists category: I was hoping to see a few extra features in game if not done already:
This might be considered too ‘superficial’ for some, but would loveto have an Attractiveness system i.e. Beautiful/ Pretty, Average and Unattractive and have Zois react/interact with Zois based on physical appearance. It doesn’t have to be a major feature and the option to disable the feature would be good for anyone who feels it may be too superficial, but thought it would add a touch of realism to the game or storytelling.
Forming different types of groups or cliques, especially for places like High School where you have groups like the Jocks, Cheerleaders, Bullies/ Rebels, Band Group, Nerds etc
More realistic career challenges - This is probably already being considered, but it would be good if getting a job required certain skills based on the nature of the role e.g. Lawyer requires a Law Degree and a certain level of personal skills (the higher the skill levels, the higher job position you can apply for). It would also be good to include job application processes like assesments, group tasks, interviews etc depending on the nature of the role. Getting a promotion could also be quite challenging too and how well you perform in your role can elaffect your reputation at work and opportunities you may or may not get.There can also be an easy or disable option for players who may not want to have to go through the taxng process of getting a job. Also earning a good Degree at University should affect a Zois ability to apply for certain jobs.
This might be a bit dark and I haven’t seen all of the Fight animations yet to be honest, but if this hasn’t been done or considered already, perhaps we can add more realistic injuries and reactions after a physical altercation. So perhaps add more scrapping, cat fights, pushing/shoving in addition to more intense fights- the Zois (especially the one who lost) can sustain temporarily visible injuries like scratches (from scrapping) or bruises (from fist fights) for a few hours or day before they heal, the most inte se fights could lead to a visit to the hospital where the Zpis show visible injuries. The mood and behaviour of the Zpis may be affected for the rest of the day ir so depending on the outcome of the fight and their personality traits e.g. a Malicious Zploi who loses a fight might feel angry and plot revenge throughout the day, whereas the winning Zoi feels more emboldened and confident. Of course NPC and other Zois who witness the fight have realistic reactions depending on their traits e.gm some record, some try to break it up, some egg it o. Etc, I know you have included something like this already but just another thought.
Again, sorry if this is done already but Concerts, Music Festivals and Award Shows would be amazing, alongside suitable features for Reality TV shows similar to the Kardasians, Love island, Big Brother, Bad Girls Club and game shows.
A height feature would make the game so unique since most games don’t have that if they do implement that not saying add a giant feature or a tiny feature but at least make your zoi a lil taller or a lil shorter male or female maybe 3 heights so tall, average and short for adults and teens and have specific animations for those 3 heights and so that would make up 6 animations (well 4 since the average height zois will be the normal in game zois) so 2 new animations for the men and 2 new animations for the women since both genders don’t move the same and the zoi animation would be different like a tall zoi would sit differently in a tub compared to the short and average height zoi or they would ride a bike differently or tall zoi will have longer limbs so when they workout it will be a longer animation than shorter zoi working out and the height of sitting down will differ like driving as a shorter zoi means shorter view and taller zoi more view but the height of all zoi’s in the game right now should be considered average height another thing is how they open doors or door ways taller zoi would duck when entering or how they sleep in the bed taller zoi are almost bigger than the bed and are broader and for clothes the taller zoo clothes would just be bigger clothes and shorter zoi wears smaller clothes but they all can wear the same clothing just will be different sizes
(Also would like If you could alter your zoi body mass and thickness and muscle mass more)
I’m going to buy the game soon and have been watching a bunch of gameplay videos. I’m not sure if this has been addressed or not, if so, simply disregard. But are you guys going to add Preschools or Middle Schools in the game for the younger kids? I saw the teen update which includes high school. I think it would be nice to play as a kid and have the same experience of watching them in their journey through school. As well as things like: First Crush, First School Dance, First Sleepover, or even certain kid’s clubs. You could also do something for First Sleepover. Also, are you going to add more elderly things? Such as retiring from a job (having a party for it), retirement communities, telling family stories, passing down family secrets, or passing down family recipes. Younger family members can do research into their ancestry and allow the game to build a family tree. It would also be nice to see health issues as you get older. For example, a hard-working zoi once older starts to experience back pain, knee pain, or hip pain. Lazier zois when younger can get high blood pressure or gain weight from being inactive. Also, if their spouse dies before them and they don’t remarry maybe zois would want a support group for widowed zois. I have a bunch of other suggestions, but I think I’ll hold off until I officially play the game before I make another post. Those are just my top suggestions I have for now is more expansion on schools for toddlers or middle/elementary kids. As well as more expansion for elderly.
If you have used mods before, please list them:
