That’s annoying. Not to mention, if you want to build something that looks different than the rest of the neighborhood, it will look out of place.
Lots of sims who don’t even live there jog or walk through the neighborhood. How about neighbors who hang out in their yards ? Walk their dog (I see sims on bikes in every world but I never see sims walking their dog, except in Brindleton Bay maybe) ? Take their trash out ? Sit on a bench and watch people walk by ? I etc etc to make the neighborhood more alive ?
