I wish you could stop the NPC.s from joining into conversations , Often they walk from miles away to come and join in on public lots and your zoi and who they are talking to sit there like dummies while they wait for them to arrive ,

In the current state NPCs are a pure nuisance for me and I rather place mannequins or add townies from other households to fill up the places when we’re out and about.

They just mess up each and every community lot visit, even at the temple or when we try to take pics, or my Zois try to have their first kiss at the beach in the moonlight :sob:

And they are most of the time very rude and insult my Zois, so they get a negative moodlet for hours, even if I stop the conversation before it actually starts.
These NPCs then also get added to the contacts and when they die, my Zois suffer on top of that.

This really needs to be reworked and I’d appreciate an option to block NPCs (also from sending inappropriate messages). Their behaviour is totally encroaching.

Kjun couln’t even record this weekly video in peace. As soon as he sat down, the first NPC approached and then two more of them during the few seconds of the scenes.

And by looking at the reaction of the Zois sitting next to him, these NPCs are rude too.

I agree, they are very annoying. One evening one of my young Zoi was having a romantic conversation on the beach with her boyfriend and there was a Zoi who kept butting in.

Have you tried deleting them too?! :upside_down_face:

When NPCs annoyed my Zois in public places, I just Removed them with cheat code. :sweat_smile: It’s funny, but usually after removing one obtrusive NPC, other passersby usually avoid my Zois more for hour

I thought deleting them would kill them and my Zoi’s would suffer then (?)

You’re right, after removing a obtrusive NPC “friend” from our contacts, our Zoi is in mourning. There are 3 solutions-“crutches”:

  • Apply a cheat code “RemoveZoi” before acquaintance, if You see, that someone obtrusive NPC want to speak with your Zois, & your Zois are silent, stand & waiting for the NPC to come up
  • Use a Donut for delete negative emotions (I’m sorry, I don’t remember the name of a “cheerful donut” in English)
  • Block out negative emotions with positive ones (triggered by real actions and interactions or Use Donuts)))

But it’s temporary “crutches”.

We definitely need an ability/option to cancel a conversation with an unknown NPCs!

Oh my gosh yes. The NPCs are so annoying, especially when your Zoi is on a date.

I am so happy the devs are planning to remove the automatic “added to contacts” feature when ever your Zoi meets an NPC this year. Hopefully it includes removing existing NPC from the contact list as well.

100% I like to have my households all meet up at different places at different times using randomizers online to pick out the place and the zoi’s I want for each block… i want my zois to autonomously mingle with my other households but its like zois prioritize speaking to NPCs before another household member unless i click and greet that household member myself my zoi will continue to only greet npcs and those npcs will continue to jump into conversations while my zois hold up their own convos waiting for hours for an npc that wont show up in the “small talk” moments like…:sob: i just want my households to get to know each other​:melting_face:
