Friends and group members should move together and stay near each other when grouped. Currently, even when Zois are in a group, they often wander apart, break immersion, or feel socially disconnected. It would feel much more natural if grouped Zois walked together, waited for each other, and maintained close proximity while moving through the world, similar to how friends behave in real life.
In addition, when a player chooses to go home or leave a location, there should be a pop-up asking whether they want to take their group members with them. This would be especially useful after social activities like nightclubs, dinners, beach days, or events. Options could include taking everyone home together, taking specific group members, or leaving alone.
This would make friendships feel more intentional and connected, reduce frustration from constantly re-grouping, and improve immersion during social outings. It would also support storytelling moments, such as friends crashing at each other’s homes, going back together after a night out, or continuing social time in a different location.
