I have to say, I love this addition to the game (XB1). I've spent a ridiculous amount of time since updating the game going to all my homes and giving the mounts/pets/assistants routes to follow. It seems move lived in and alive now.
If I had a gripe - it's that you can't make the people go indoors/outdoors, or have them use furniture... sitting in chairs etc. (That I can find anyway)
But I love it!
