What if they worked like apartments? Meaning, you’d actually see your neighbors come out of their houses to take out the trash or check their mail. You’d see them leave and come home from work/school, and if they’re over at your house you’d see them actually go home rather than walking right past their home. All of that, just maybe without the noisy neighbors part. I think it would make neighborhoods feel a little more alive.
To be honest, my initial thought of TS4 was supposed to work like this. But, the only things that we got are the passerby, welcome wagon, cars that passing by, birds flying... I would love to see, the next door neighbours walk out of their house, collecting their newspapers ;) , saying hi (by just raising their hands) without interfering with my Sims life, other Sims visiting their neighbours, interacting with the season changes from their own Lot, etc.. It seems more lively..
p/s I once told my research supervisor that I want to use TS to observe a virtual neighbor interaction. Glad that we didn't do it.. Else, it will be meaningless for my paper... and I'll spend more time playing than actually testing my hypothesis.. :D
