Imagine a feature in a Life Sim that allows you to insert yourself in the game as a therapist or just as a friend, and you can communicate with your sims with a microphone headset. You can discuss their recent memories and incidents and have some influence on their wants, aspirations, and opinions of other sims.
You can meet them at a coffee shop and have a discussion while snacking on scones and coffee.
Imagine the surprises you might find about sims that had experiences that you missed while playing other sims.
Life Sims might actually resemble West World in 5-10 years. :)
