Dynamic Life

Suggestion for Cities: Skylines II“ Improved NPC Behavior and Park Usage

1. Add "Leisure" as a goal for NPCs
- NPCs should seek leisure time, not just work and shopping.
- Parks, piers, and recreational areas should become destinations based on need for rest and entertainment.
- This will make these areas more functional and lively.

2. Turn parks and landmarks into true Points of Interest
- Each should have an attractiveness score and service radius.
- NPCs should consider proximity and accessibility when choosing where to relax.

3. Add internal commute logic for NPCs
- If an NPC can’t reach work within 2 in-game hours, they quit or get fired.
- Introduce variable work shifts and allow 3 late arrivals.
- NPCs should learn optimal departure times to avoid being late.

This would improve realism, traffic planning, and player engagement.

If an NPC can’t reach work within 2 in-game hours, they quit or get fired.

That's gonna kill the city economy. Good luck to all those who work on the other side of the city in a remote location reachable only by car.

All of your points, except those related to going to work at time, are in the game.

But they could have the cim go into a financial institution and take out a loan, buy said car and then go to work. That's how it works in the area I live in
