Greetings from the weeds of day 2 with my first sims4sim- Tuija Taksalot!
Here's a nighttime view of her simstarter home in Oasis Springs. Seems like everyone in town will be hoofing it past your place, so meeting new people is easy, day or night.
If you're in a rush to make a dozen new friends-for-life, you can't beat a visit to the park. Crowds will appear like magic, for chess, group conversations, a random brawl, or what have you.
I love the way you can eat on the run...whether you are listening to music on the patio...
...or chatting in the bathroom (in the dark) with a new friend from the park. facepalm Not sure which was more disturbing, dinner into the bathroom, or the casual way she continued to eat while he told jokes. And that's withOUT the gluttony trait.
Being able to socialize while painting just can't hold a candle to that.
