Best and worst thing about the update is the random placement of all.
Worst, since most don't make much sense, like meeting Kendra in the kitchen late at night and everything plays out like it was morning. Or going to class just to find out the teacher rather be at the beach.
Best, since it does give some randomness.
To improve it, make certain people be at certain places at specific times. Like Kendra in the kitchen weekday mornings (6.00), teachers in their classrooms at 9.00, and so on.
Implementation of opening hours for stores would also be smart, I don't think I have ever encountered a mall that is open to midnight on a sunday.
