Summary

  • Reddit user _inferno_44 has created three colour-coded spreadsheets to document the daily routines of three Schedule I NPCs
  • The NPCs follow fixed routines that are used to encourage player movement but the document highlights the detailed world-building that has gone into this popular simulation game
  • Many players follow schedules similar to the NPCs, travelling between work and home with a few breaks for leisure and fun
  • The article draws parallels between the NPC routines and the monotony of real-life and questions whether aspects of the game, such as the regeneration of fun activities in fixed buildings, is a relatable or imaginative premise
  • The article encourages readers to watch a YouTube video on the topic and reminds readers that sometimes popular things are popular because they are good.
