Vehicle+key matching Number plates

[hromamk]

It's annoying to have random keys that you don't know what are they from. So instead of "Chevalier Dart Key" it should say "Chevalier Dart Key 884-PAP". The cars themselves should have readable number plates and it should say on right click* "Vehicle Mechanics 884-PAP".

A similar thing could be done for houses as well: "House Key West Point 45" or something and the matching number/address on the mailbox and the house.

 

* You shouldn't be forced to wait for your character going through a car's hood to see its number plate, same with a house number, I'm thinking more at a glance type of system, maybe even show the number on car/mailbox/house plate hover-over.

It's good both for immersion and navigation/UI.

I'm not 100%, but I think vehicle keys are color coded, matching the color of the vehicle they are for.

 

Granted, on the realistic part of things, if you find a car key on the ground, at best you'll know the manufacturer. Good luck IDing which car that key you found on the ground at a Toyota dealership is actually for.

 

Well, 1993 keys that didn't have panic alarms and wireless electric door locks. Were those a thing then?

There's technically nothing that tells you what specific vehicle the key belongs to until you're right next to the vehicle and able to try the key so I don't see the benefit of having the plate number unless having keys in your back pack bothers your. Personally I'm not bothered by having keys in my bag. I put them in my fanny pack. Also the general fix would be to just leave the key in the ignition.

You thought about renaming your Keys?
