I have been spending my days wondering the [woods] area and using [awareness] and after some time i realised that [outside] is mostly just a survival game. All the other stuff in [outside] like jobs and money, status and power is made by players and not actually a real thing in the game. My constant need to improve and constant worries have been reduced greatly by this as I now see what the devs actually created.

I’m not saying that these player created things are bad, but on the fundamental level they are not truly needed for [outside] to run.

I always thought the devs want me to do all these things in society, behave a certain way, feel and do certain things, be afraid, but really it’s players and factions that created these ideas in me about [outside]. It seems that more than half of what I thought the game is, is community mods, underneath that is the real deal, as real as a game can be.

I recommend being in touch with these areas and spending more time there instead of just using mods all the time, it could help the game run better for everyone. Also try not to use mods while in the area, just be there and you will be [outside].
