Neighbors behaviors

[bailey]

Has there been any discussion on how the people around the world will act, such as your next door neighbors or people down the street? Will they be actively living their lives or remain idle? Or only do basic things like walk around?

Since this will be an open world, I think it would be nice if you could see what your next door neighbors are doing. Like maybe if they have a grill, they could randomly decide to go into their backyards and have a barbeque (and maybe you could go over and join). Or you could see the kids playing down the street in their front yard. Or parents could take a baby for a walk in their stroller. Seeing people walking their dogs.

I think it would be cute so see little things like this going on in the community to make it feel more alive. Anyone else have any ideas?

I definitely like the idea of seeing the world “living” around you as long as it’s not broadcasting over long distances. It would be nice to see the sort of things you have mentioned rather than just “walkbys” too.

I agree with all of the above and hope to see that kind of open-world gameplay. I want to see the town living and breathing to the fullest possible.

And story progression for non played paras – like MCCC in TS4 – just basics like marriage, having children, divorce, moving, etc. Hopefully also some intelligence to expand their current house or move to a bigger house when they are having a lot of kids.
