The hygiene was something I didn't really think the game would need, but it would be cool to have nonetheless. I find that when I'm playing there's a lot of interactions I wish were there, simple human interactions like sitting in a chair for example. Yes you could say it would be a mix between Sims and a zombie apocalypse but would it hurt to have your character feel more eh ... human As for the plates and eating with cutlery, it would be the same as eating a beans bowl to eating an open can of beans, you get the boredom and unhappiness debuffs from eating them out of a bowl, simple things like that. I didn't mean you wouldn't be able to rest at all, I just meant that resting wouldn't be as effective in a level 4 carpentry chair as it is in a level 7 carpentry chair . Another thing I thought of recently would be that you could get sick or infected eating from a frying pan you killed a zombie with? Its blood would be on the pan wouldn't it? same goes if you use a kitchen knife in cooking after killing zeds with it.
