So from what we can gather so far base game at launch (in 18+ months after early access is complete) -
- Open world, with no rabbit holes
- This means ALL careers are playable, any job you see you can do.
- Complete world editor
- Rent and landlords
- Jobs so far include things like office work, working in a cafe, retail, and working for a hotel.
- Which means, yes, HOTELS.
- Vehicles, including skateboards, bikes, motorbikes, and cars.
- Body temperature (you could see how hot/cold the characters/"agents" were in the bottom right).
Maybe base game weather? hope hope
- Which characters you control is not limited by household. You can take control of anyone you see around.
- Characters notice what characters around them are doing and react (one notices a character relaxing and then thinks, "I should relax more often")
- Uneven relationships ("has a crush on you")
- MASSIVE hints towards open water (surfboards, the beach)
- Color wheels for both clothing and objects.
- Customized object functionality (make any object a toilet!)
- Personal histories ("rural childhood", "family secret", etc)
- Shopping (seems very Sims 2 like - if you want more clothes you'll have to buy them)
- Laundry
- Time skips. You can choose to jump forward in time and the game will calculate what happened over that duration.
- and so much more
I'll be honest, I'm excited. This is what we're seeing six months before early access! And early access is expected to last at least a year! There is going to be SO MUCH in this game!
