"Your Sim Is Here" on World Map - doesn't take you to the Sim
The 2/25/25 update added a "Your Sim Is Here" icon in the World Map. This makes sense when traveling with one sim, but it could also be so useful in other contexts with a few modifications:
- If you've been playing with a Sim/Household, but are in Manage Worlds mode (for example to add a lot or household from the gallery, build a lot, etc), it still shows the icon but you actually have to navigate back to the Sim's home lot, then it will let you select the Sim (greyed out) and take you to their location. I would love if clicking on their icon in the World View would directly load you into that Sim.
- If there are multiple Sims in the household, it could also be helpful to show where each Sim is, and where the Household home is.
- For rotational gameplay, it would also be useful to show the Home location of households that you've played in the same session or previous session.
- A related issue; often in gameplay, I'll jump out to build a lot that I want to bring my Sims to (i.e. build a vacation rental to take that household on a vacation to). If I exit the game in that mode, the game then loads into a random Sim (I think usually one of the first Sims created in the Save). What I would like to see is the most recently-played household, even if they weren't actively loaded at the time. Even better would be a short selection of other recently-played households (again for rotational gameplay)
From the Patch Notes:
World Map shows that Amaya is in NewcrestIn the Newcrest map, there's no option to load into the gallery as AmayaClicking on a Sim's home lot lets you navigate to their current lot (even if they're away). Here, I could load to Amaya's location at the gallery in Newcrest, but first I had to go back to her home lot in Strangerville.The '1 played household' logo does show up if you hover on Strangerville, but doesn't indicate that it's the current household, doesn't take you directly there, and doesn't show up until you hover on the tile.Where is your Sim?! When choosing a travel destination, the game now shows your Sim’s current location in the Neighborhoods view and Worlds view.
