Free time
During free time, or leisure, citizens try to fulfil their needs or preferences. There are four groups of leisure activities:
- Visiting a church
- Doing sport
- Drinking in a pub
- Going for culture
All these leisure activities have some impact on happiness and other statistics (Statistics like: Health, Religion, Loyalty, Alcohol addiction, Sport, and Culture). These leisure activities can be positive if the need is satisfied or negative if the need is not satisfied. Everything is percentage based, and each statistic can reach up to 100% if satisfied constantly. If a citizen is not able to enjoy the leisure activity they are looking for, they lose a small percentage of the statistic connected with that leisure activity. Each of these leisure activities provides some happiness if satisfied, but they may have different impacts on other statistics.
Worth mentioning:
- If citizens are provided with the sport, pub and culture leisure activities, none of the leisure activities will become too strong over time.
- Every activity may have some advantages and disadvantages, e.g. alcohol has a negative impact on health but provides a significant happiness boost and sport has a positive impact on health but provides less happiness boost.
