Maybe im just dense but...

You cant have character development without a lurking evil. And if you did, this fictional world would be the only place in the known universe where lurking evil was in absence. 

So what kind of character development were you thinking of? Someone who previously did not like spicy food suddenly realizes that they do, in fact, like spicy food?

Or some edgy loner comes in and says "psh nothin personal kid" and that checks the drama box?

I have to ask because im notoriously bad at comfybright life sims. For real.
