An easier switching between households

So I was just thinking... And It's really uncomfortable to go into map view each time we want to switch to a different household. I think it would be so much better if we could switch between households in play mode. Like you're in a park/cafe/etc and you see a sim that you would like to play now and you could click on that sim and choose "switch to this household". Of course it should be limited to housed sims only to avoid confusion and glitches. What do you guys think?

But that would leave your current Sim out in the world. So, when you switch back to them they are going to be away from home (stuck at the current lot or walking down a street somewhere and the rest of their household standing in the road) But it's a good idea.

well... This already happens a lot when you rotate between households. It's just how it is. When you stop playing a family in sims 4 and start playing another one, you may see your first family casually walking around the town by themselves without your control.
What I'm suggesting is not a replacement of the "switching method" that we already have in the game, but an addition to it. Now if you see one of your sim families walking in the town you'd be able to switch to them without having to go into the map view. And yes. This would leave your first family hanging where you left them. But it's actually nothing new. Just a convenience that could make rotational play a little bit easier.
