Environmental Reactions Feedback

Sims already react to some environmental changes (fire, weather, mess, smells), which makes the world feel interactive and alive.

Currently, Sims don’t react to noise in their surroundings. They can sleep through loud TVs, stereos, or vacuum cleaners without issue, which feels unrealistic and removes potential gameplay depth.

Noise Sensitivity: Sims should wake up or feel disturbed if loud activities happen nearby (TV, stereo, vacuum, arguments, barking pets, etc.).

Personality Variation: Some Sims could be light sleepers (easily woken), while others could sleep through almost anything.

Moodlets: Noise could give Sims specific moodlets (e.g., “Can’t Sleep From Noise”, “Annoyed by Loud Neighbors”).

It would add more realism, challenge, and storytelling. Players would need to consider household noise levels, roommate/neighbor behavior, and even build strategies for bedrooms. It would make Sims feel more human and environments more immersive.
