[novel minnow]

I occasionally still play it for nostalgia, but I cant keep up with these new players their reflexes anymore

I used to be a very good sniper, havent tried it as of late though

[sly ermine]

new players = children with sugar fixations xD

[novel minnow]

Longest kill was uh

3KM?

i jumped from my seat from thatone

[sly ermine]

I used to be a god at Halo 2, then got completely demolished by a 10yo

[novel minnow]

Yeah, many of those players didnt wanna play with me anymore becuase I got a big handicap; I cant 360 noscope while moving in a vehicle

Im one of those thats good at their shots, but I gotta sit, take up position, and grab my moment when its there

[subtle stream]

Sooo I just left the two babies home alone and now no babysitter is showing up at all lol

[novel minnow]

irl or ingame?

[subtle stream]

ingame. There used to be a bug where babysitters would show up but refuse to leave and they'd even show up when parents were home

They supposedly fixed this bug

[languid schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-you-aww-golden-girls-blanche-devereaux-shy-gif-23876713

[subtle stream]

but now my zois all left and there's no babysitter at all lol

[sly vault]

-# still waiting for the zoi hates cleaning but still cleans anyway bug to fix

[subtle stream]

Meanwhile baby is throwing a fit upstairs over a dirty diaper. Wonder what will happen if it's left alone all day... their aunt is at school and their parents are at work lol

[novel minnow]

Gotta learn survival somehow

Theres one thing I notice in the mod store

you got unreal engine 5 character models at your disposal.

Literally the best there are.

Yet authors use these AI generated images for their mod

Seems a bit sus XD

[subtle stream]

Lol I thought maybe I have to actually order a babysitter, but on pocket market they're 'sold out'

Well, reported this new 'bug' on the forums. Sigh...

[novel minnow]

Also how do relationships work in inZOI? Theres a guy my Zoi hates, and the hate is mutual, but he does keep flirting and saying he wants to be more. Im so confused, because when I have my Zoi respond to that positively they just back out.

[languid schooner]

friendship and romance are on different relationship bars, so you can love someone you hate 😅

also Zoi's love to flirt 👀

[viral sigil]

You reply positively to a Zoi you hate flirting with you?

[novel minnow]

It was as a test

[viral sigil]

Ah... Devs really do have to think of every single little possibility!

[primal crane]

hope we get plastic surgery to push slider limits

[languid schooner]

Yes you can add fish to the fish tanks

[viral sigil]

Oh I get it now! LOL

[languid schooner]

took me 3 reads tbh 👀

[viral sigil]

Do the fish still die eventually or did they fix that?

[languid schooner]

aren't they supposed to die eventually? lol

[viral sigil]

Well every living thing does eventually. But that may be a bit of a harsh life lesson for Inzoi 😄

[languid schooner]

opposed to watching Zoi's go flying when you hit them with your scooter 🤣 Altho I would like to see a Zoi flush a dead shark down the toilet

[sly ermine]

"I hate you and wish you would die"
"ok"
-5 relationship

[sly ermine]

hihi, you might have better luck applying to Krafton if you want to work on inZOI, or else join our growing modder community

ngl I would hire you xD

alas, I am unpaid myself

[wheat pilot]

Hey anyone knows if it's possible run with mods or mods out of curseforge is accepted by game?

I'm trying to play with mods but no success

[brazen vault]

Curseforge works fine for me

[karmic saddle]

If by "out of curseforge" you mean mods downloaded from somewhere else then yes, that should work. But there was recently a game update which broke a few mods so that might be the issue

[primal crane]

we need big update now plz fanks 😛

[fathom vessel]

quarter 1 is wrapping up quickly here r i g h t ?
-# nudge nudge wink wink plz we r desperate 😭

[royal finch]

Omg 😳😂😂😂🫨

[rare cedar]

Haha, nice touch.
My zoi just decided to turn on the speaker to listen to music...
It's the Cahaya music... I was like, wait a minute !
🏖️

[primal crane]

i really hope we get big update soon casue now seems liek the time to really get some meat into the game

[rare cedar]

There's a lot of bugs that have been left unattended for months that need fixing as well.
It's dangerous to build your second floor when the foundations aren't sturdy... IMHO.
But I get where you're coming from, there's new features I want as well, badly.

[daring moth]

If modders are in here, can we get a plain fitted t-shirt for men? All the t-shirts are oversized 💔

[proper stirrup]

game is dead just uninstall

[viral sigil]

Has this odd looking cat always been in the Dowan Library?

[boreal turtle]

I think it's from the ghost update

[wheat pilot]

Thanks but need any injector or just download and put it in ~mods or in documents folder ?

[primal crane]

do saves bloat alot or are they ok ?

[rare cedar]

That's Nyx. I noticed it with the ghost update as well.
He shows up to talk to you if you go on to play as a ghost.

[opal flume]

heyy

:D

[cunning sun]

You know how the roadmap has a q1, q2 ect updates? I wonder if the q1 update is still happening since it ends in march 🤔

And if the april update includes the q2 stuff

[primal crane]

whats all this news about multiplayer mode? i hear people syaing itll reduce the quailty of the game? i really have no interest in multiplayer

[cunning sun]

The thing about mumtiplayer is that it's completely optional, so people can stop 🐶 about it

[primal crane]

i know nothing bout it just seen load of ppl syaing its gonna effect game qaulity?

[cunning sun]

Yeah, by people who have no idea how game development works

Theres a dedicated team that is working on multiplayer, so resources aren't just getting wasted. If anything, they hired more people JUST for the multiplayer alone

[cunning sun]

Cause we supposed to be getting this, but i have no idea if its still happening

[subtle mason]

-# A month left to find out

[sly ermine]

typo?

[cunning sun]

One of em is here, yeah 💀

[hasty ice]

Now that they added more support to getting lua up faster, I have no right to complain about MP 😛

[sly ermine]

[subtle mason]

Both?... the roof and double doors, the area around the shrine

-# What was that?

[simple barn]

Yup refunded I can’t do this have fun with this yall

[hasty ice]

Every time someone refunds, God kills a kitten /jk!

[simple barn]

I’m sorry

[hasty ice]

I'm kidding no worries lol

[simple barn]

I don’t know what to do in the game

[hasty ice]

Ever play sims? It's pretty much that 😂

[simple barn]

Well yeah I have I lowkey got the game thinking I could have a digital wife and stuff like that cuz having a real one is just not ideal lol

[hasty ice]

LOL, honestly that is a mood

[simple barn]

I’ll cancel the refund if you’ll be my online wife 🥲

[hasty ice]

NO!

[simple barn]

Lmao jk

[hasty ice]

What on Earth! lol

[simple barn]

I was trolling lmao I need that money back

[sly ermine]

boomer humor. "wife bad" xD

[simple barn]

Nobody asked the director

[hasty ice]

Nahhh. I feel the same 'bout husbands 🤣

But I'm 5ever alone what do I know?

[simple barn]

Yeah I decided I’m done with relationships period I want no parts rs

[sly ermine]

[hasty ice]

Same. But I never had a rel. I literally don't want one

[sly ermine]

rizZOI

Yall have fun on here tho ✌🏾safety

[paper gale]

Hi guys!!

[cunning sun]

But tbf, im really looking forward to european architecture to build my oc house 👀

[sly ermine]

ty for reminding me to make my childhood homes

I have like 4

aw, just realized I can't make 3/4 bc no basements =/

[viral sigil]

Ah cool thanks!

[cunning sun]

I cant make my latest childhood home in any game cause it got too many curves 💀

[primal crane]

i have no idea what lua is ?

[cunning sun]

Here's an older photo of it off the web. My parents installed new windows in it now

Except the circle window. Its still there 🤣

And no internet tower, they got fibre optics now

[paper gale]

That’s why I’m patiently waiting for Canvas towns

[sly ermine]

coding language innit

.lua files?

[cunning sun]

And this on the second floor. It has new floors and new $9000 chandelier now though. I wonder if inzoi would eventually let us build vaulted ceilings 🤔

And a pull out projector screen for karaoke night 🤣

Gonna ask kjun for vaulted ceilings on Friday 👀

Wait, actually

Theres no need, I forgot we already can 🤣

Kinda

But I am gonna ask for ceiling beams

[primal crane]

when is the karma system coming back ?

and karma and fate are 2 different systems yeh ?

[viral sigil]

Yea Karma has changed and runs mostly behind the scenes now. Probably will not return to the previous version.
2 different systems that somehow affect one another.

[primal crane]

yeh but we dont have karma in the game at the moment yeh? it got removed

[viral sigil]

No its still in game but the mechanics are done behind the scene at least thats the intention.
Kjun talked about it recently.

[primal crane]

so kjun talking to us on wed?

tldr; fancy script mods

[subtle mason]

-# Which Nyami gonna write for us right?

[hasty ice]

doubt

i don't know lua

• i have to be honest im super unmotivated with inzoi atm

[subtle mason]

It's probably months away

[hasty ice]

I'm just feeling TS2 right now. Maybe if inZOI picks up with scripting, features and even multiplayer I'll do more stuff.

TBH ever since the Discord news I've been in a slump.

[subtle mason]

-# I read that as slumb (er)

[hasty ice]

lol 💀

I miss Rupert on inZOI 🥺

Game just feels kind of slow to me for now.

And I mean literally the pace of it. I wish for 24 min days.

[subtle mason]

The 4th speed option is great though

[hasty ice]

Yeah but 😭 I feel like I'm rushing through

I kinda of blame my fatigue on how my world is set up.

So many filler families 💀

My last save was better because I played only the ones I cared about and everyone else was an NPC/idle

That was rough to set up though, and I don't feel like doing the set up atm

But it's definitely the ideal way to play for me. With TS2 I can bear filler families 'cause days are shorter.

[subtle mason]

I still play a Henri and other random zois from Canvas, nothing serious and it's been good

[hasty ice]

XD

My Sims 2 has over 100 sims.
I need to cut down on active Zoi families due to the length lol

And I made every last one of those sims and zois.

With a small exception of some NPCs in my Rupert only save 🤣

I downloaded a few randos

[primal crane]

did u get the sims 2 legacy from steam ?

[hasty ice]

Yes.

After UC stopped running due to a tool I used on my PC 💀

[high kestrel]

When they finally add more residential lots and fix autonomy for NPC zois so they can do more than exist I'll be too happy.

[primal crane]

ive just bought it hehee

[hasty ice]

It's better now. OFF TOPIC THOUGH!

😂

[primal crane]

u seen that new slider mod for inzoi ? lol

[hasty ice]

Yeahhh

-.-

I prefer mine.

[primal crane]

it crazy it messes with all zois in ur save haha

[hasty ice]

hence why i kept mine limited

[primal crane]

do u think they would add like weight and physics to sliders so like fat and stuff sits naturally

[hasty ice]

idk

[primal crane]

i really wanna see how there gonna enhance sliders in the road map updates

[subtle mason]

Hopefully, the arms in Sims 3+ move up slightly depends on weight and clothes to not clip through them (other than that I'm not sure)

[primal crane]

actually whats is story progression going to be liek we dont see this discussed much ?

[primal crane]

does anyone else feel liek the games autonomy is just whacked atm ?

[sly vault]

It’s a known issue bout the autonomy. We can hope it gets fixed someday

[cunning sun]

Do you mean fate engine? It's a completely different thing that badically gives your zoi a random backstory

[hasty ice]

uh oh hope i can turn that off

[cunning sun]

Its optional

[hasty ice]

pheww

[primal crane]

wait what how do you mean?

[primal crane]

its gives a back story ? like in what way?

[cunning sun]

Just a random backstory

You can be the oldest son of a billionaire or the youngest of 10 from a poor family

That type of thing

[primal crane]

so is it just text ?

[cunning sun]

No, it's actual

So basically a scenario generator

[primal crane]

ah ok one thing that really annoyed me about ts4 for expamle is that they would clam to bring in all these new and amazing gamplay changes to bring more depth to the game and in reality all they did was add a bunch of menus lol

[primal crane]

i just really wanna know what there gonna do to personalities they need to be detailed and complex

[pale turret]

Ive run into a strange situation with my house's parking garage. My zoi when on autonomus mode will open the garage door and walk through it with no isses. BUT if im manually controlling the character even with the door open they will walk at it as if its an invisible wall and they cant get passed it

[primal crane]

inzoi gotta drop a big meaty update soon people getting wary lol

[pale turret]

well it is a big holiday in korea so give it some time everyone is enjoying the downtime

[small fern]

Karma system needs direct player intervention

Controlling them give a better life

[tranquil nexus]

Suggestion: Modular Town Linking & Advanced Vehicle Physics"
Idea: Allow players to link multiple 'Canvas Town' modules (Sky, Ground, Underground) via a unified transport system (Subways/Elevators).
Vehicles: Expand the ownership system to include Yachts and Submarines with realistic physics (fuel consumption, hull damage, and repair mechanics).

[maiden canopy]

Do we have to keep the metadata files of the photos we take? That's going to be a whole lot of metadata files.

Oh sorry, should that have gone under gameplay questions?

[olive vigil]

Will the game always require 16 gb of ram to be able to run on Mac? I only have a Mac and steam deck currently and it won’t load on Mac because I get the error message of not enough ram
And on steam deck I can’t change any options to where I can read anything
I really want to play. Don’t have the money for a new computer
I’d be fine with playing on less impressive graphics.

[languid schooner]

Meowdy!

[tranquil nexus]

"I suggest a 'Faith & Culture' system that includes both pre-set real-world religions (researched with community help) and a custom religion creator. This would allow for realistic world-building and diverse storytelling, especially in custom Canvas Town

[languid schooner]

They don't wanna add real world religions and politics into this game as it can be controversial. Also please don't copy & paste into multiple channels as it's considered spam 😅

[tranquil nexus]

Okay, sorry 👍

[languid schooner]

No worries 🙂 I would suggest adding your ideas here:

They'll be new threads every Friday

[tranquil nexus]

Thanks that really helpful 😸

[celest nexus]

Tjis game available on android where i can download?

[south ether]

I know not everyone might be able to fork out £10 a month but I’ve got a MacBook Pro 2021 M2 and run the game through GeForce Now with the £10 subscription.
The upside is you can run many other games too so you wouldn’t be spending the money just to play inzoi ☺️

[olive vigil]

Yeah I don’t have the money to dish out for another subscription.
I take care of my mother and all my spare money goes to helping her with bills and fixing up the house

[lyric granite]

Hey

[south ether]

Where can we find this function? Sounds fun!

[sly vault]

Not available yet

Still being developed

[olive vigil]

Hi

[olive vigil]

I’ll be buying a steam machine once it comes out and I’ll add it to my collection of systems and I should be able to play it then

[amber herald]

I want one of these too!

[olive vigil]

I know. I can’t wait

Probably gonna run it on my credit card when it comes out

[viral sigil]

What is a steam machine? Some sort of gaming pc?
What are the specs?

[amber herald]

Yes it's like a PC /console hybrid

https://store.steampowered.com/sale/steammachine

They're predicting they will sell out in minutes though so I will be at the ready when it launches lol Anyway back to InZoi

[viral sigil]

Hrm they cant even keep the deck in stock and now this? Will be interesting to watch unfold.

[sly vault]

The deck from what I saw was due to ram parts or smth

This who knows

[amber herald]

Exactly what all the experts are predicting, they will struggle with stock

[amber herald]

Same thing with this because of the shortages

[viral sigil]

Both devices use ram parts 🙂
and ram is getting hard to come by

[subtle mason]

-# If the cost is similar to consoles and performance is good for modern games then...📦

though I wonder about the sound and the heat...

[amber herald]

They are saying it's going to be quiet and heat efficient

[viral sigil]

Cant be any noisier than my desktop at full gale

[amber herald]

And you will be able to mod with it? They are promising a lot and except for the predicted shortage, a lot of the game experts are excited for it

[viral sigil]

So the ram shortage is due to all the burdgening AI platforms now?

[amber herald]

I think so

[viral sigil]

Think they may be slightly over estimating the impact of AI on the general public tbh.
Right up there with bit coin 🙂

[amber herald]

You said something a while back about GeForce pushing the cloud service to regular gamers in order to allocate more of the cards to AI and big corporations and I just saw an article on it the other day, Ulterior. I was like ohhh this is what Ulterior was talking about

[viral sigil]

Its kinda genious of them. They have figured out how to get folks whom cannot afford their hardware to give them money anyhow.

[sly ermine]

I'd like to show you this cool new thing called an internet search engine 😛

I don't know what you mean about Deck stock tho, I bought mine off the shelf at Gamestop

[viral sigil]

I mean in Steams inventory not out in the wild.

[sly ermine]

oh, I see

I kinda feel silly for having the 512 OLED when I could have waited for the 1TB

[viral sigil]

Im just glad I got my system when I did. I somehow luckely got it before all this AI crazyness and hardware shortages set it.
Probably saved like 2,000 bucks or so.

Hell the video card alone now sells for nearly twice as much.

[subtle mason]

-# ...The only luck here is I replaced rams before the price spike, GPU...

[sly ermine]

man, I was planning an AMD upgrade but had to drop over 4 grand to fly then drive across the country on short notice. I'm still a lil salty about it, but the AI bubble is starting to leak

oof*, mb, let's continue that in #off-topic-chat lol

[viral sigil]

Oh... LMAO I did not even notice which channel!

So yea... Inzoi!

[pearl ermine]

Guys it might be written somewhere in the chat but has Kjun expended when Inzoi will be released on PS5?

[sly vault]

#announcements message this announcement is all that’s known about the ps5 release

Otherwise nothing

[sly ermine]

https://klipy.com/gifs/soon-cat-2

[viral sigil]

I still feel kinda bad for team Inzoi. It almost seems like Kjun is the only one over there doing anything!
Lets hear it for the un sung heroes of Inzoi Studios!

[subtle mason]

-# Where does that came from? interesting notion

Press conference or interviews for 1.0

[royal finch]

Have yall ever got a pop up before one of your zois were to be married (ceremony) as a buff that said “wants to break off the marriage” because they were attracted to someone else. Lmao I was like wait what?!

[south ether]

Mine wasn’t attracted to anyone else, just wanted to break it off for the fun of it 😂
And after getting married she was adamant on divorcing

[languid schooner]

Wait, I thought Kjun WAS the Inzoi team? 👀

[viral sigil]

He is the fearless leader of the hordes.

[sly ermine]

the hordes that do nothing apparently? xD jk

[viral sigil]

Mindless code monkeys chained to their desk not allowed to speak!

heh.. Im out BBL

[languid schooner]

They gotta change that to brb or something 💀

[subtle mason]

-# Not the body lift thing?

[languid schooner]

exactlyyy, that's all I read 😭

[south nimbus]

Is the game better now since Christmas?

[languid schooner]

What's your definition of better?

[sly ermine]

-# that sounds like no fam xD

[subtle stream]

In reality it's just Kjun and a bunch of cats

[kindred kraken]

more stable, more dynamic, better day to day flow and longer playtime before burnout

[languid schooner]

All that added in less than a month and a half since the Christmas update, sounds do-able 👀

[subtle stream]

The december update definitely improved the game a lot in terms of fun gameplay and long term engagement. Especially if you enjoy starting your own business or want to dive into a life of crime.

Or are you asking if there were any new updates since the december update?

Because no big ones, I think the next big update is expected in April.

[languid schooner]

March* apparently 👀

[subtle stream]

March is a small update right

Kjun said March they plan to update graphics. But he said 'major update' when he talked about April

[subtle mason]

-# Make 30 floors business corporation for crime only

running from police multiple floors would be fun

[subtle stream]

Unless their plans changed and the major update he talked about before was moved up to March.

[languid schooner]

Ah that could be it

[subtle stream]

I am really excited for that March update though, better lighting/rendering? yes please

[languid schooner]

I made a 13th floor business for crime, I ain't goin any higher! 🤣

[subtle mason]

-# Maybe 5.6 UE

[subtle stream]

Yeah maybe they decided to do this one first before throwing a pile of new content on top

[languid schooner]

better rendering is always a bonus! We need cars to stop teleporting in front of you when we're driving 😅

[subtle stream]

I mostly want those blotchy shadows indoors to be fixed (and the flickering lights)

Like sometimes during the evening it looks like your lamps are casting shadows from a tree on your walls

The ghosting is also especially bad in those areas

[subtle mason]

I've been getting more ghosting lately but only few areas (no frame gen)

[subtle stream]

That is pretty bad

I'm so close to level 20, I can almost share photos ahhh

[fair quarry]

My game is taking years to load 😭

[night crypt]

Can I post here?

[languid schooner]

fast forward time irl?

[fair quarry]

Like going into the menu

[fair quarry]

Lmao

[languid schooner]

Probably 👀

[fair quarry]

Maybe once it hits 70 it’ll go faster

[night crypt]

Is NPC lookd random? I am looking for this answer for soooo long and still cant find the answer

[fair quarry]

If you have multiple zois in a city that you’ve made you’ll probably see them while playing another family

I know this because I caught another zois husband at the club 💀

But I think their randomly spawned into the world

Unless you made a lot of zois

[night crypt]

Well, thats not what I meant. If I create a zoi and go to streets. Will I meet randomly generated NPCs? Random faces, bodies, each one different from the other?

[languid schooner]

I saw two Zoi's look and dress exactly the same but had different names 👀

[night crypt]

I dont actually want to make them, I would like them to eandomly spawn with different looks

[subtle mason]

There's pre-made and random generated ones

[night crypt]

oh sorry, not talking about clothes. Faces, bodies, etc. Is it random?

[night crypt]

can I interect with both?

Oh thats great@

is this a new feature or something? I saw a guy on reddit asking for that an year ago

thats why I got confused

so the game have some standard characters, like the sims. But you can also meet randomized characters right?

[languid schooner]

like TS4 townies 💀

[night crypt]

what is TS4 townies?

The sims 4...lol...sorry

[subtle mason]

Standard as in the Goth? or filled households, randomized ones are similar to Sims

[languid schooner]

yeah lol

[night crypt]

I didnt play TS4, is there a difference between a premade and random?

I am starting to imagine a faceless character, lol

[languid schooner]

that would be horrifying 👀

[night crypt]

I am thinking about creating just one character and getting random characters as partners/friends

I dont like pre made stuff

Will I loose something by doing it?

[viral sigil]

This is pretty much my starting point most of the time.

Just dont forget to set preferences at creation otherwise it can be frustrating.

[night crypt]

like what?

[viral sigil]

That is if you dont play a 'straight' charecter.

Like girl that likes girls... etc.

[night crypt]

oh, got it

well guess i am buying the game

[viral sigil]

If you dont set it for the toon yoru playing the whole damn city will be straight 😄

[night crypt]

your answers were the best markrting this guys could have

they should pay you

[viral sigil]

Just players helping players is all.

and tolerating the occasional troll 😄

[languid schooner]

It's me... I'm the occasional troll 💅

[viral sigil]

Amongst other after all its not ALL about you 😉

[languid schooner]

It's always about me I thought? 😭

[sly vault]

Lol everyone helping is cause they enjoy the game they help cause they want to. Even us

[viral sigil]

I miss Maini place aint the same without her 🙁

[languid schooner]

oh yeah, where is she??

[viral sigil]

Gone vanished all traces. No persona on Discord at all.

In fact I could not find any of their mods either.

[languid schooner]

Creepy 😩

[viral sigil]

Unless I got the username wrong.

[pliant charm]

shes still in the server maybe shes just taking a break

[viral sigil]

Huh I must have the username wrong cause I did not see her anywhere.
Last heard their computer broke 🤷

[pliant charm]

ouch well that sucks it cost a fortune to buy ram nowdays hopefully everything is well

[viral sigil]

Not gonna go into details honestly prob best left at that.

[viral sigil]

Ah I found them I forgot the 'numbers' after the username. Thanks.

[fair quarry]

Is it possible to add paneling ?

To the walls

[languid schooner]

only through textured walls or building half walls in front of it

[fair quarry]

Oof

[languid schooner]

Woof

[viral sigil]

Paneling is so 70's.. maybe thats what there going for!

[languid schooner]

You would know! Burnnnnn

[viral sigil]

Haha.. actually the room Im sitting in right now still has paneling up. We never got around to remodeling this room.

[fair quarry]

I updated a house decor and the game crashed

[viral sigil]

Bummer mods or custom content?

[fair quarry]

I unfortunately do like older styles

[fair quarry]

Cc

[sly vault]

isnt technically cc mods as well

[fair quarry]

💀

Yes

[sly vault]

[fair quarry]

But everytime I say mods people think mods that effect the game

[sly vault]

yeah but modded clothes can technically be cc

[viral sigil]

Anyhow that is the most likely culprit to your crashing.

Yall are pickin on me today 🙁

[sly vault]

all i said was "isnt cc considered a mod"

[viral sigil]

https://giphy.com/gifs/latenightseth-seth-meyers-lnsm-late-night-with-YPJU2ZNbhySdfklRDN

[sly ermine]

no, Cece is a CM xD

[fair quarry]

I need clutter for my shelves

[viral sigil]

Fill em up with gemstones you collected.. That should only take a couplea years 😄

[fair quarry]

Lmao

[subtle mason]

Having stackable clutter would be nice

[fair quarry]

I’m gonna add plants

[viral sigil]

Need a couple of dead ones 😄

[fair quarry]

I mean I did add a skull

I found skull cc

[languid schooner]

I made a skull with the 3D printer, it actually turned out great surprisingly lol

[languid schooner]

It wasn't from a bog woman right? 😅

[fair quarry]

Why?

[runic kelp]

HOw is INzoi doing now, ive got the game but lost interest after about 3 hours on launnch

[languid schooner]

because that mighta been the one I just wrote about lol

[fair quarry]

I didn’t look at the user

[viral sigil]

Hahaha.. way to crush a creator!!!

[fair quarry]

I like them

I put the ones that hang beside a photo

Where could I send a photo of it?

[viral sigil]

You can use Gameplay questions

[fair quarry]

Idk it’s not mud of a question and more of just wanting to show off the area I got set up

Because I like it

[sly vault]

#share-your-zoi or #share-your-build

zoi for anything zoi related, builds for builds

[viral sigil]

those channels are just not 'friendly' to a quick screen grab for a discussion. 🤷

[sly vault]

they have changed that lol

[viral sigil]

Oh.. Im outa the loop. Havent tried it in like a year.

[sly vault]

It allows for sharing stories and stuff too now. (#share-your-zoi ik for sure)

[viral sigil]

But still for a quick back and forth conversation about things like "did you make this mod" with a screen shot...
Meh know what.. never mind 🙂

[sly vault]

just leading them to the proper areas

[fair quarry]

No it’s not for a “did you make this mod” I just really like how my house is going

Considering normally mine are trash

I also put who made the build because it’s not mine

[sly vault]

oo yeah if its a house then #share-your-build

[fair quarry]

I just needed a shell to decorate

[viral sigil]

Oh! LMAO then yea share zoi/ build... I think I will just go sulk in the corner for a bit.

[sly ermine]

the cooldown won’t go away there entirely but yeah Jinnies is correct

[fair quarry]

I’m trying to decorate a small home in a way I’d like it irl

I would upload it in the end if anyone’s interested but the build itself isn’t mine so I won’t be doing that

Also I hope I spelled the users name right because I’m blind and the camera didn’t do it justice when I tried to get a closer look lma

[sly vault]

i dont think it would let you upload it anyway since its not your own original build and theyre trying to prevent stolen content

[fair quarry]

Ye

Which I wouldn’t claim it as mine anyways

My builds are kinda bad

I made a cafe which looked nice but i haven’t seen it in game yet

[viral sigil]

My idea of building is adding a bathroom to a restaurant I bought!

[fair quarry]

Because I haven’t been messing with the business thing in a hot minute

I need my homes to look like my grandmas house

Yes they had skulls in their house but not human

They were deer skulls

[viral sigil]

Thats not unusual at all in America tbh. Or at least it was.

I guess its not so 'trendy' these days. 🙂

[fair quarry]

Depends on the area I think

I live in deep Appalachia and it’s kinda normal to have a deer head on your wall

But then again hunting season is treated like a holiday and 99% of the people here don’t do it for sport and actually eat the deers

They freeze the meat and use it over the course of a few months

[viral sigil]

Wandering way off topic here but...
They sell freezer 'sizes' by how many Deer can be stored in them!
I now return you to Inzoi!

[fair quarry]

Random but does that one mod that lets you enhance the body more still work?

I deleted it a while back because my game was acting up due to outdated mods and i haven’t gotten it again

[ornate thorn]

Anyone here play on Linux and have a good graphics setup / tips and tricks for making the game not look all fuzzy?

[fair quarry]

I don’t play on Linux but putting my graphics up one or two times helped me

If you think your device can handle it you could do that

[ornate thorn]

What do you mean by putting the graphics card up? I play with an NVIDIA 4070ti and my friend has a 5070, both of us have this issue and can't seem to figure out why aha

On Windows it's not fuzzy, just on Linux

So we're not sure if we are missing something obvious

[fair quarry]

No I meant graphics in game

Putting my graphics up helped me

😭

[sly ermine]

can't do image embeds, sorry

-# I checked the image
so how about that update? everyone enjoying the new assets?

[languid schooner]

Assests good, me like assests yes?

[topaz pollen]

Help! This is my first time playing. Is there a easy way to create my character with a picture

[sly vault]

not a way to do so unfortunately just gotta adjust as you see fit

[topaz pollen]

Thank you

[fair quarry]

Every zoi I try to set my zoi up with always ends up not liking her

Like damn is she that bad

😭

[viral sigil]

You did set the preferences right?

[fair quarry]

No

I forget to

💀

Where do I find them

[viral sigil]

Any mirror

Mirror then this little check box...

[novel minnow]

Omg I got the same issue. I made two partners in family creation and I dont even get romance options

[fair quarry]

Ty

[viral sigil]

think I forget every freakin time myself.

[fair quarry]

I forget that’s an option but my preferences were also for men

Maybe my zoi decided she’s a lesbian on her own or something

If this new guy doesn’t work out then I’ll look into the ladies

[topaz crest]

could it be because of bad karma or something?

[fair quarry]

The new dude is asleep on her couch.

But she hit it off with some random guy outside her house

[royal finch]

The zois are something else

[primal crane]

any one know what the memory system is going to be like ?

[fathom vessel]

something memorable I guess

[cunning sun]

So i just had a major theory

As we know, pets are incredibly popular both in life sims and real life. And as such, players will definitely buy pet themed packs, including a pet clothes stuff pack

However

Selling pets as a dlc, and then releasing a dlc FOR a dlc isnt just a douche move, it's also illegal on consoles

And as such, the basic pets (like cats and dogs) will most likely be base game in inzoi

[proper raptor]

🤔

I think a pet dlc would feel more full if everything related to pets were included in it , cat , dogs , other animals , veterinarians, activities with pets , pet’s things , maybe even farm animals , etc …

[primal crane]

love a farm dlc

[rare cedar]

I've played a farm game when Cahaya happened ?
What kind of Farming are you missing from the game as it is ?

Like having a stable with interactable cows ?

[primal crane]

raising animals ect harvesting large crops ect

manintaing machineary going off grid ect

[proper raptor]

Maybe that too , and more planting options , or objects like trellis . I think some want both the ranching experience + farming experience, cows , chicken , ( chèvres, I forgot the name in English )

And the world map to support them... country-side?

[primal crane]

yeh i want a small country town

[rare cedar]

That would be awesome indeed. In a canvas town like "smallville" or maybe an official larger town but in the middle of the bread basket area (ie: Kansas or something).

[small fern]

Cahaya revamped?

Improvement added features

[primal crane]

i think they just added cahaya so early on to test how adding dlc would at this stage in development

[primal crane]

kansas yes and add aliens lol i want crop circles and alien abductions

[rare cedar]

I'm not really strong on aliens, I would feel this would "pollute" my gameplay.
But to each their own.

[small fern]

How about adding your animal raising / hunting to Cahaya?

[fathom vessel]

Don't forget the tornados, witches and "wizards"

[hasty ice]

yes to all

[rare cedar]

Tornadoes, I'm up for. That's part of living in Kansas.
I just want a "Keep it real" option. Everyone can have their cake and eat it... they just need to have options.

[fathom vessel]

Mayhaps they could have a fantasy world like the Land of Oz only accessible by enabled dream 😂 👍 👍

[formal sigil]

gosh i really want that PS5 version

[cunning sun]

It would, but as I explained, from a business perspective, releasing pets as a dlc (especially since they wanna support the game for 20 years) would be a mistake. And they probably know it

[foggy sapphire]

that depends if they want cross-dlc integration ala sims3; or dlc-dont-interact-with-other-dlc like sims 4 lol

I do hope future dlc synergizes with each other (you get more content with DLC A if you have DLC B) which kinda rewards you for buying all DLCs

[primal crane]

have options to turn em off like a paranormal slider

we were supposed to get a ghost slider btw but nothing happened

[rare cedar]

Yeah. At least ghosts have not been much of an issue. Much like burglars.
Thankfully. But I hope we get those slider before the game goes live/out of EA

[subtle mason]

A toggle maybe, actually if a ghost appear and give you screen filter like when your zoi's dying it would be a bit scarier

[timber grail]

Yup

Though I imagine natural disasters in Inzoi would tank the frame rate

[subtle mason]

There's water simulation in UE, I'm intrigued if they can bring it to the game

[sharp sonnet]

I'm sure they can implement the full package in the game

The problem is always going to be performance

Although I believe they shouldn't hesitate from implementing even niche improvements

Even if current hardware may not be able to run everything well, future hardware could

One could always disable said feature, if their pc can't handle them

[primal crane]

nuclear war in inzoi plz

ive had to got back to sims 2 cause inzoi just doesnt quite have it all yet its frustrating cause i really like inzoi and the potential i see in the game just makes me impatetient lol even if inzoi just got to stage where it has all the feature that ts2 base had and id be more than happy

[hasty ice]

i hate saying it but me too, at least for the moment

[primal crane]

i can see what there doing and i know its going to be good it just lacks complex personalities and depth also it lack the choas sims 2 has

at the moment

[hasty ice]

i really want inzoi to succeed nonetheless

[primal crane]

i just feel like 1 big meaty update would honestly get inzoi into the right shape

[spare pond]

im envious. i'm playing for the 2nd time since release still learning beginner stuff

[hasty ice]

yeah maybe it would but it depends i guess

[primal crane]

how do u find the autonomy ? i find it just ok like i sometimes get drama and stuff but they still just hang around alot or primp themsleves to much

[hasty ice]

i dunno man

it seems like a lot is autonomous (which i like) but they keep going to do specific silly things

[subtle mason]

-# Consoles release might...

[hasty ice]

they dont appear to set the mood on their own

[primal crane]

yes i find that cause in ts2 u always know why sims 1 decided to slap slap sim 2 ect in inzoi it very random

[primal crane]

yesss my thoughts exatically

[hasty ice]

i really want this game to succeed but honestly its felt more like ts4

in gameplay i mean

its like playing a BEAUTIFUL ts4

[primal crane]

i just want an updated that gives deep comples persoanlities and way better autonomy like if i was making the game that be what i would be realsing as the update

[primal crane]

i would say atuonomy wise its better than ts4 tho even at this early stage

[hasty ice]

maybe, i dunno

i guess what i miss MOST is the 'instanced lots'

[primal crane]

i think its a lil better ts4 really does feel like playing with dead dolls

[hasty ice]

it is a little

[primal crane]

what are they ?

[hasty ice]

basically time freezing for everybody but your played family

[primal crane]

ahh

[hasty ice]

i have aging off for everyone but played, but they still manage to mess up relationships etc

that part is what makes me feel like its ts4ish

idk im just frustrated right now in general

with all games and everything
im just so distracted

[primal crane]

my unpopular opionion is i would have rathered inzoi didnt have amazing graphics so more could be put into gameplay i think cause the graphics are so amazing it takes 3x aslong to build the game

[hasty ice]

i dont think thats the case

i dont know though

[primal crane]

yeh im kinda frustrated aswell i feel the game just needs a jump start lol

[hasty ice]

same

this lack of big updates is really frustrating

all the same they shouldnt rush

[subtle mason]

-# Each quarter...

[primal crane]

and im not crapping on the devs atall i think theyve been amazing but i do get a lil annoyed when i see theyve been making xmas clothes ect when its like eeehh yeh dont really care about that i want deep gameplay lol

[hasty ice]

yeah there needs to be way more focus on stuff thats more vital

[primal crane]

its kinda liek when ts4 ppl go crazy over the kitchen counters ect

[hasty ice]

not these pan animations

[spare pond]

whats your definition of deep gameplay though

[hasty ice]

The Sims 2.

Look no further lol

[subtle mason]

-# I imagine cosmetics can be done quicker and different than gameplay department

[hasty ice]

that does make sense

i also kind of forget about the department aspect XD

[primal crane]

yeh i mean i hate saying it inzoi is a different game but realitscly they should just be focusing on what sims 2 did good and going deeper and expanding on that

[primal crane]

see i would rather they put all attention and resources on gameplay and then focus on cosmetic at the end

[hasty ice]

that makes sense too 💀

[subtle mason]

-# Different ppl working on them I assume...

[hasty ice]

yeah

i would think so

[primal crane]

plus liek everyone says ea should just remake sims2 open world sims 4 cas and theyd hit gold just a game with everything every previous game did properly all in one lol which inzoi can be lol

[hasty ice]

no open world sims 2 please

open world is what i dont like in sims

[primal crane]

i never cared for it but i do liek proper story progression

[hasty ice]

blah, im just so tired in general

like mentally weary idek why

[spare pond]

i'm a bit fuzzy on that but didn't it have a million dlc to flesh it out ?

[hasty ice]

about 9 expansions...so yeah that is a point

that is actually a very valid point

[spare pond]

im guilty of it myself sometimes

[primal crane]

im still amazied by sims 2 tho that the thing the stuff that can happen and ive played simce ts1

[hasty ice]

same

[spare pond]

"old game had all this..." then actually its like welll maybe that was a decade of development lol

[hasty ice]

yeahh

[primal crane]

srsly i only had ts2 base for years and it was amazing lol

just less cosmetic approch to inzoi and more gameplay please lol

the frills can be done last

[subtle mason]

-# I imagine gameplay aspect is always in development

[hasty ice]

i dont really know how it works tbh lol

[spare pond]

artist vs developer time

[primal crane]

just hasnt really felt like that i mean i know we got buisness play but ive still seen very little improvement in zois personalityies and autonomy in fact i think zois personailty have went backwards tbh but i dunno i know there testing as well

[hasty ice]

i do think the reintroduction of karma may help

im thinking it could sort of be like the lifetime aspiration bar

[primal crane]

i was told karmas still in the game it jsut works in the background ?

[hasty ice]

i dunno

[foggy sapphire]

my emotionally needy zoi keep spying on his spouse account and tend to get suspicious lol

I'm curious how was it before it "went backwards" coz this is already a bit too close to home lol

[hasty ice]

what do you mean? o.o

by too close to home?

[foggy sapphire]

think zois personailty have went backwards tbh but i dunno i know there testing as well

[hasty ice]

no i gathered that part

[primal crane]

is that somthing thay say in a text or do they do it physically and what do they do ?

[foggy sapphire]

oh as in, he behave like my partner who I modeled him after 😂

[subtle mason]

My zoi sleepwalking twice while the other 3 doesn't, kinda match the character but I didn't plan on it

[foggy sapphire]

they went on the computer and do the "spy on spouse's action"

their mood gets annoyed easily due to the suspicions

[primal crane]

kl didnt know that i just feel like for example in ts2 u kinda have to control ur sim to not be a chaotic mess in inzoi u kinda have they make them be chaotic lol

[foggy sapphire]

I mean it could be anecdotal, I'm just speaking from my experience lol

coz I had to occassionally stop my zois from fighting/accussing each other

if there's anything that drives me crazy about this game, it's the hunger gauge

they went on to cook food, put it on the table, then went back to the fridge to take out the quickmeals

if I put leftover foods in the fridge, they autonomously would take it out, put it on the table, then went back to the fridge for the quickmeals lol

[primal crane]

also why did they takeaway the civic conciousness slider i thought that was a good option now everyone reports u for commiting crimes when its set low no one cares lol

[primal crane]

oh do we get an update from kjun today? being wednesday?

[subtle mason]

Reply to latest thread

[primal crane]

huh?

[subtle mason]

https://discord.com/channels/1162040845181124618/1387652526156808283 There's probably reply to last thread in there today

[primal crane]

i dont see anything its very awkward to navigate

[subtle mason]

*Later today

[primal crane]

im uk here its liek 6pm in south korea so i assume no update ?

[subtle mason]

Usually night time there if I remember correctly

[primal crane]

aww i heard first big update not till april ? 🙁 anyone know if this is true ?

[foggy sapphire]

cahaya houses in canvas looks so modern and high-end lol

it's a struggle to find something that 'blends' with the surrounding area

[hasty ice]

where did you hear this

[primal crane]

seen it on the forum but thats from a user so dunno i really hope not

[subtle mason]

Let's go by the roadmaps and

[hasty ice]

same man...though it sounds like it should be taken with a grain of salt

alright... i see kjun said it 🙁

While there may be a few smaller updates in between, this aligns closely with our team’s major April update plans. Thank you. Of course, it won’t match every suggestion exactly — but there’s significant overlap, and we’re glad we’re aiming in the same direction.

[subtle mason]

-# I hope they add mixed fruits frappe and more variants, not the colored gooey thing in the game later

[primal crane]

but roadmaps dont say when

[hasty ice]

Kjun literally said April

[primal crane]

awwwww nooo

we really need it before hahaha

[subtle mason]

Quarterly and some smaller stuff in between
-# (Is it?)

[hasty ice]

Hopefully not too small 😭

If it's as small as this month's update that's really frustrating

[primal crane]

ill be an A** and say it they neeeed to speed up ! hahahaa

[subtle mason]

https://tenor.com/view/tv-cartoon-network-adventure-time-jake-bacon-gif-3412794

[hasty ice]

those flames should be a lot smaller. like, set to simmer

no pun intended, omg

[winged pond]

maybe one of yall can give me a bit of clarity here. why is it every time i do any sort of crime, my Zoi gets busted for it. he's level 2 in the crime tree and i have his rhetoric skill level 2.

am i missing something or do i need to keep leveling up my skill set?

[subtle stream]

Hellooo

How is everyone doing

[subtle stream]

You really need rhethoric to go up way higher

I noticed I didn't start to regularly suceed until it was at level 5+

[winged pond]

what is the best way to get that skill up aside from reading?

and thank you for the reply.

[subtle stream]

Talk to yourself in the mirror

I spammed that lol 😄

My zoi spent the entire day talking to themselves

Excited for Kjun's response today

[hasty blaze]

Any news about the multiplayer mode?

[woven quartz]

It's in development, it doesn't interfere with the main game, they will share information with us and ask our opinion during its development, that's all

[primal crane]

k zoi decides to go to the club on his own just to sleep on the benches

[subtle mason]

Looks like they'll be released in parts, more info on roadmap 2

[woven quartz]

Yes, and I completely forgot about it, most likely

[primal crane]

seems liek they are making certain places bigger like the prision and adding an airport ect so i would assume they will rediesgin the graveyard aswell

i realise its not thatthe cities are to big for my prefrences its just that we dont have any nature or rural based worlds thats what im looking forward to and hope the make some of them

[woven quartz]

The town of Canvas in the countryside

[primal crane]

i just really hope canvas town doesnt become a copout i want them to design new worlds too 😛

[woven quartz]

The initial goal of the City Canvas is optimization and customization, and if it becomes possible in the future to share, connect and in this spirit

[midnight wasp]

Any updates on news for the PS5 version?

[paper sparrow]

Kjun is typing!

[subtle mason]

-# You scared him away...

[severe hedge]

yea i was pretty disappointed in the update..

[paper sparrow]

#1471816371284480113 message

[subtle mason]

"Engine stabilization build"

[woven quartz]

I assume this is optimization and a new version of the engine

[small fern]

They fixed autonomy bug

On the roadmap also has Unreal Engine update but no timeline given

[amber herald]

It's not a cop out, it's an alternative for people with slow computers which I think is very fair and inclusive

[amber herald]

Thank goodness, the autonomy bug was really minimizing my enjoyment of the game to be honest

[woven quartz]

Well, at least it's logical, as far as I know, the higher the version, the more optimization there is. We were told about an update, and the post says about it, although it might come in March, but I think it will come at the end of the month

[pliant charm]

Which is a good thing because unreal engine as a hole is not the best when it comes to performance so if they can get unreal engine stable for inzoi then everything else should fall into place, also when inzoi does launch on consoles it should be a smooth experience for them

[subtle stream]

So I wonder if the 'major update in April' he talked about earlier was moved up to March or delayed to May

Either way yay for end of Feb engine update, that's aroun next week!

So fast

[subtle mason]

Maybe that's internal build for release later

[lilac patio]

Hi guys, new here

[viral sigil]

Morning all\

er afternoon whatever

Anything from Inzoi Studios this morning?

[sly vault]

#1471816371284480113 message

its always pinned lol

[viral sigil]

I did not know it had been released. Thanks Jin

grateful to the people who moderate heated discussions on Discord

Ohhh Moderators got some love!

[paper sparrow]

There’s so little time left, Kjun will probably say it earlier on Friday, or mb on Wednesday

so it might be easier to just wait

[cunning sun]

Oh, I guess there isnt an april update 🤣

But there is a big march update maybe 🤔

[cunning sun]

He said late march, so might have since march is inzoi's 1 year anniversary and they wanted to do something

Maybe it'll be mostly babies since inzoi is turning 1 and the babies are 1 🤣

And we should be in great hands 👌

[languid schooner]

I read that too but knowing our luck "Late March" means April 😅

Also Hi, I'm here toooo

[cunning sun]

Sup 🤣

[cunning sun]

Any other update yeah, but not the 1 year anniversary update

Probably

[languid schooner]

Oh yeah! Party Timeeee! 🎉

[cunning sun]

Also, the sims is going from microtransaction packs to subsription only. More of a reason to jump ship to inzoi 💀

[languid schooner]

TS: Fortnite! Woo!

[cunning sun]

Worse, cause fortnite doesnt force you to pay just to open the game

On top of forcing you to pay for "premium" currency

They're gonna majorly alienate their remaining players since many already jumped ship since the buyout

[viral sigil]

sigh the sims this the sims that. Wish it would just go away

Im not spending another dime on the sims... end of line. 🙂

[languid schooner]

nah, they'll still have most of the simulation fans because alot of them are either too stubborn, not real gamers (so don't know about other games) or too young to buy other games lol

[sly vault]

-# or cant buy new computers

[languid schooner]

also this lol and don't know cloud gaming exists 👀

[viral sigil]

Or choose to not get sucked into a montly fee.

[cunning sun]

Most of em are too young. Sims 4 is so popular cause it's free. I dont think they can afford to pay momthly. And their parents probbaly wont allow it either cause who the hell pays monthly to pay a game 💀

[paper sparrow]

That’s not fair. On the one hand some of the team/people borrowing (almost fully rewriting) mechanics in brainstorms that Maxis originally designed

consider it a free ticket to the future

[viral sigil]

https://giphy.com/gifs/television-arena-political-hzrvwvnbgIV6E

[paper sparrow]

and the other is basically like: “thanks for inventing the mechanics, now please leave”

[languid schooner]

I mean, I pay a monthly sub sometimes for MMO's / FPS'ers... but I'd never do it for a single player game no lol

[cunning sun]

We were all here major sims fans. Now we are more of anti fans cause we've been burned by EA so badly 💀

[cunning sun]

Yeah, but do you also shell out for premium currency on top of a monthly subscription? Thats the difference 💀

[small fern]

TS is easier to access, no need high end device to play the game

[languid schooner]

(me with Marvel Rivals)... I mean, noooo.... 👀

[cunning sun]

Funny how ts can both mean the sims and this 💩

[frozen tree]

[cunning sun]

But at the end of the day, you'll be paying for more to play the game as opposed to getting an entry level gaming pc and playing another one

After adjusting for inflation, the price of all sims 4 packs combined is like $1860usd. I paid $1500cad for my gaming pc that can run inzoi on ultra

[languid schooner]

I think at the end of the day, if people wanna pay monthly for the sims, let them, it's their money lol (I know I won't be though, I stopped playing that the minute Inzoi came out)

[paper sparrow]

But they didn’t patent anything, didn’t force anyone to buy anything, there’s literally no space where people wouldn’t talk about them. That happens with a lot of franchises. It’s basically unclear whether inZOI can even be profitable, for now there’s support, ok, but

[cunning sun]

The can turn into the cowolants that the moocha has (the new premium currency) 💀

[viral sigil]

I think that a large majority of sims players whom have had access to the game all these years one way or another are hit with a subscrition fee are gonna nope the hell outa there. Regardless of 'gamer' status.

[sterile ginkgo]

Hii guys I have an stupid question to be honest does someone knows whem Inzoi will be realeasing to ps5?

[cunning sun]

Inzoi sold over a million copies in early access. Most games sell way less during early access. And according to kjun, there are tens of millions of wishlists, so people are waiting and watching

[frozen tree]

The Sims 4 isn't even that good. You might as well be lighting that money on fire

[viral sigil]

Nope sometime this year allegedly

[sterile ginkgo]

Okii thanks

[languid schooner]

I don't even need to ask it today 🎉

[small fern]

I play both and will play paralives

[cunning sun]

I'd rather wipe my butt with dollar bills than throw it on the sims 4 💀

[sterile ginkgo]

Guys at the end of the day play what u want all games have its things

[frozen tree]

At least it'll make you feel rich lol

[cunning sun]

Yeah, but not all of em force you to pay a monthly subscription just to play, as well as premium currency while at the same time providing you with a subpar gaming experience

[paper sparrow]

Subscription models are everywhere these days, it could work like EA Play, Game Pass, PSN, etc. atm you don’t even need to buy KCD or KCD2, just get a subscription and play

[sterile ginkgo]

Sorry to break It to you I actually play the sims 4 and inzoi and no one of them asks me to pay a monthly subscription

[cunning sun]

Sims 4 is in the process of implementing it, thats what we are discussing

Its major news rn

[sterile ginkgo]

Really?? First time hearing it

[cunning sun]

The sims is different since it was on EA play and is now getting removed to become a subsription based game

[cunning sun]

Its all over youtube

[sterile ginkgo]

I feel so scammed since I actually bought the game and some packs

[languid schooner]

yeah I seen it all over "The Youtubes" videos as of late 💀 I don't play TS4 but I do like seeing the weekly video's of the sims team burying their game 😅

[sterile ginkgo]

They cant just do that that scamming

[cunning sun]

Thats why so many people are mad 💀

[sly vault]

we should round back to inzoi

[sterile ginkgo]

What the hell are they doing are they that desesperated for a lawsuit?

[cunning sun]

Since steam cant take your game away, the most likely scenario is that you'll get to keep yoir game as is, but any future updates and packs, you'll have to pay monthly

[cunning sun]

No, just money

[small fern]

I go back to TS when they have time limited event. I stop buying DLC for awhile

[paper sparrow]

I’ve only seen leaks about one of the strategies that’s currently floating as a possible option, but there’s no confirmation before the buyout, since the new owner has to approve it.

[sterile ginkgo]

Who IS the new owner? Satanás??

They want so bad to make the game being on a eos

[cunning sun]

No, there's more of a proof cause there were job postings about those mechanics on EA

[small fern]

Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Funds

[frozen tree]

A monthly subscription for a turd. This is what it's come to

[viral sigil]

So yea.... Inzoi...

[thorny jacinth]

Wait what ☠️👀

[cunning sun]

Yup 💀

[sly vault]

#off-topic-chat if you wanna discuss further plz

[frozen tree]

They want to charge for updates

[grim herald]

https://tenor.com/view/what-day-is-it-huh-what-confused-anime-gif-16694798

[paper sparrow]

It all sounds nice, but back in August Kjun also said the budget was limited, and Krafton could’ve left some things unsaid as well. There were rumors that money from franchises like TS was going into BF6 dev, which is pretty common among internal studios.

[cunning sun]

With a full game, yeah. With early access games, most of the sales profits go back into development

[paper sparrow]

Krafton is having a rougher time too, with their low stock value and the lawsuits against Subnautica

[sterile ginkgo]

Whem its Next update and someone knows what It Will have?

[sterile ginkgo]

Oh they have a lawsuit?? Why?

[sly vault]

thats off topic

[sterile ginkgo]

Sorry

[paper sparrow]

“The creators of Subnautica, founders of Unknown Worlds, are suing parent company Krafton for wrongful termination, alleging Krafton delayed Subnautica 2 to avoid paying a $250 million performance bonus. Krafton claims the founders abandoned the project and stole data, while the lawsuit highlights concerns over AI-driven decision-making and executive behavior”
by Google

[paper sparrow]

sorry 😔

[frozen tree]

I wouldn't mind if they started charging us if they need funds. We the players are steering this ship, that's more than can be said about EA

I just don't want inZOI to end up dead in the water because they no longer have funds to develop it

[river dew]

I need inZoi to succeed and prove all the haters wrong 😭🔥

[paper sparrow]

-# I think for that you’d need to be a shareholder and ensure the stock price goes up (considering EA stocks are at a historic peak atm)

[paper sparrow]

I believe that the government support that probably came with the multiplayer (?) changed the situation, which is why I was pushing for it

[sterile ginkgo]

You guys think inzoi have future?

Im getting a bit scared by what y guys say 🥲

[paper sparrow]

I’m not claiming anything, but I believe the best support for inZOI would’ve been to refrain from posting against that strategy

(multiplayer)

[sterile ginkgo]

I agree

[limber kayak]

I'm still here waiting for that multiplayer ha

[small fern]

No MP for me and online bounded reward (force play)

[cunning sun]

Thats due to the buyout. Thd Saudis are paying $200 a share

Once the sale is finalized, so will the stocks

[paper sparrow]

there won’t be any more shares, because of private property

[cunning sun]

Yeah. Krafton would be stupid to cancel inzoi, especially since the Korean president was praising it

[cunning sun]

Exactly

[paper sparrow]

including for the multiplayer and the billboard advertising

I was mad at the people who wanted to scrap the multiplayer

[cunning sun]

I honestly wouldnt mind bullboard ads. More money to develop inzoi, and they fit right in with the game graphics 🤷🏼‍♀️

If anything, it adds to to the immersion 💀

As for multiplayer, im not sure how often ill play MMO, but I definitily wouldnt mind co op 🤣

I play minecraft co op quite often. Its fun to explore with friends and build a base together

[paper sparrow]

We just need to take all the funding needs into account. Dev is extremely expensive now, even with AI, and especially in Korea, I think

[limber kayak]

I'm dying for a multiplayer sim like world that has graphics like that...I really want a creative shared space with other people, it may keep me more engaged in activities I would not otherwise be in solo mode. The more diverse gameplay, the better imo

[cunning sun]

Also, inzoi co op might become a go to game for all those long distance couples

[limber kayak]

they can take all the time they need. just don't cancel their project and keep their vision

Yes, there is a market for that, for long distance couples. Although I'm curious how they'll handle any potential adult mods in a shared space.. would that be banned

[amber herald]

I wouldn't mind playing InZoi with a close group of friends. I like that multi-player will be optional.

[cunning sun]

Not unless its co op

[amber herald]

Animal Crossing was fun with my friends visiting.

[cunning sun]

Wait, what if inzoi is planning co op as well as a server? 🤔

[frozen tree]

pokes da polka 😛

[limber kayak]

we won't really know until then. Not that I'm going to use it, but these stuff are sensitive

[cunning sun]

If its co op, I domt think theyd care

If its a server, they'd definitely care

[limber kayak]

so if it's a private invite only like coop they might not care? a public server they might? hmm idk

[pliant charm]

If it’s multiplayer based then they are going to need a lot of moderation to handle the amount of people that will try it out

[cunning sun]

Usually with gameplay mods, both parties have to have the same mods installed to play together. And since they'll both have the mods, they both consent to it, so 🤷🏼‍♀️

[pliant charm]

If it’s co-op based multiplayer I think that’s a lot more manageable

[subtle mason]

-# Mods here as GM

[frozen tree]

I hope we have the ability to create private servers. I mean, yeah, I'll probably go into public servers to make some friends, but after that I'd probably want to go private because we all know there are toxic people who will try to ruin the experience for others

[amber herald]

Private servers would be ideal

[cunning sun]

Not including the strain on the game with hunders of people on the same server, all having different cosmetics mods. From a game development perceptive, thats very tough. Thats why sims 4 is struggling so much with mods. And since they wanna enable mods for multiplayer, co op seems like the most likely scenario

[pliant charm]

Agreed so that’s why I feel like opt in co-op is the ideal way

But we shall see

[limber kayak]

yeah, a smaller space would be more ideal for optimal performance I guess. or else ppl be stuck loading their stuff withcmods

[subtle mason]

The thousand players on the roadmap maybe public servers without mods

[cunning sun]

Yeah, thats why im saying both is likely

[frozen tree]

https://tenor.com/view/crowded-people-woah-when-the-store-said-buy-one-take-three-opening-day-gif-16779164

[paper sparrow]

btw. your idea

You noted that skills progress too quickly and proposed tiered levels, promotion challenges, focus resources, cooldowns, decay, childhood/personality/genetic effects, certifications, and instrument specialization

[frozen tree]

Imagine servers like that... 👀

[limber kayak]

Oh yea! wow you remembered that? lol well thanks for telling me, good news

https://tenor.com/view/big-news-bullish-bullish-af-crypto-fantastic-gif-16753036148370554223

[limber kayak]

Lol he pays so much attention to everyone down to such detail, walking newsfeed indeed

[cunning sun]

He even mentioned my mini comment which was just a praise fangirling over the bicycle passenger pose 🤣

[amber herald]

He is very personable and friendly to players. InZoi has me sold just based on how communicative Kjun is

[frozen tree]

That's right polka. Senpai noticed you lol

[cunning sun]

Same 🤣

[amber herald]

He is also respectful and professional so players don't start forming strange parasocial relationships with him unlike another game I know...

[cunning sun]

I mean, ive already been noticed, considering some of my suggestions made it to the roadmap 🤣

[amber herald]

With the word Para in it lol

Let me stop 🤣

[cunning sun]

.....ummmm.... what? 😭

[frozen tree]

Don't let it go to your head lol

[amber herald]

Just me being sarcastic over Paralives, ignore me lol

[limber kayak]

I've noticed that Kjun sometimes doesn't immediately acknowledge our idea. like maybe it will be postponed for a later reply when he decides to

[frozen tree]

I thought you were talking about The Sims lol

[amber herald]

I like that his professionalism gives players the space to really be open about what we think works and what needs improvement

[cunning sun]

Eh. I remember at the end of january, I made a post on the forums that got traction with a lot of things that inzoi needs fixing. That very same Friday, every single point on that post was in the video, showing off improvements. Im all good 🤣

[frozen tree]

I think he takes time to consider these ideas and the requirements and implications

[amber herald]

You give good ideas.

[cunning sun]

....and you dint have to pay a subscription fee for them to listen 🙄

[amber herald]

You have a pulse for what can be achieved in the game.

[frozen tree]

Maybe they should hire polka to be a dev lol

[cunning sun]

Lately though, I haven't had epiphanies, so I haven't been commenting as much, just praising 🤣

[cunning sun]

I mean, thats why im going back to college. So i can become a game dev 🤣

From the artistic side of things though

[amber herald]

That is so cool!

[paper sparrow]

yeah, I reposted this time

[frozen tree]

For real real? Not for play play? Lol

[cunning sun]

I'd rather play sims 4 than work for a corrupt game dev company 👀

[limber kayak]

Feels good to be heard indeed, and reviewed so efficiently fast, his team is really working with him on the clock

[amber herald]

I gave a cruise liner idea and now that I think about it, it's probably not achievable but it's fun that Kjun gives us a space to even dream lol

[cunning sun]

I actually had an idea like that a while back 🤔

[limber kayak]

Yea, he's actively engaging in thought and selecting what he thinks fits

[amber herald]

Really? What was it?

[frozen tree]

Krafton is about the only good one left. Imagine working for EA or Nintendo. Ugh... 😒

[cunning sun]

Basically an inzoi world that is literally just a giant cruise ship, and zois go there on vacation. The ship may sometimes stop at random islands and the zois can get off to explore. It's a purely vacation world

[subtle stream]

My comment was skipped this time but I was included the previous few times so I was spoiled lol. Many great things mentioned based on other feedback though

[frozen tree]

Well I still like Pocketpair. Rockstar has a bad rep these days with their employees

[subtle mason]

-# They can have cruise ship added to the Cahaya sea just going around in very slow speed until you have to leave I think, since the world is small it shouldn't have much performance hit

[cunning sun]

When the fame system was mentioned and kjun was looking for ideas, I got excited since it was definitely somwthing I was looking forward to, but didn't have any ideas i could add, so chose to put my trust in players. They delivered 🤣

[cunning sun]

Yeah, that's more or less my idea. Instead of a cruise ship sailing around the sea, the sea will move around the cruise ship and small islands will phase in

[amber herald]

Yes!!!! Love this, similar to my idea but mine was just the cruise ship lol

[frozen tree]

I want the fame system to be similar to how Sims 4 did it. They allowed you to earn perks

[subtle mason]

Like that Sims 3 custom world I still have to try 😅 (the ship)

[amber herald]

You also have good ideas and improvements, Anne.

[cunning sun]

Thats why ive been mentioning to kjun that sims players are rpg fans, whether they know about it or not 🤣

EA arent some geniuses since skill trees existed for decades

[subtle stream]

Confirmed plans for stuff like better autonomy control, an achievement system for Zois to complete, more detailed story progression, a revision of the genetics system, sibling jealousy interactions, prioritizing specific bugs, all came from comments I made (alongside others who commented similar ideas of course), which makes me very happy and seen and heard

[amber herald]

My bartender doing tricks was added!

[frozen tree]

Wait... I'm an RPG fan? 😂

[cunning sun]

I begged kjun for open schools to come this year and proposed a book publishing system, so they both made it to the roadmap 🤣

[cunning sun]

You are, yes

You just gotta find your perfect rpg though

[subtle stream]

Yes I noticed the book publishing system especially since it was such a unique idea

[paper sparrow]

Yes, I posted the same concept for about two months and finally Kjun added CAZ UI in a room environment and now:

There were also suggestions to connect the CAZ fitting UI to boutique-style purchasing with carts, total payments, and brand stores. We’ll review these internally and improve related UI accessibility.

[cunning sun]

And unlike EA, that idea was entirely my own 🤣

[limber kayak]

that's wonderful, ill definitely like that

[cunning sun]

Wait, I missed this part 🧐

Going to shop at a boutique and then "trying on clothes" at a changing stall would be awesome 🤤

[frozen tree]

I'm reminded of a line from Trevor from GTA 5. "I'm not sure what I'm looking for, but I'll know it when I see it." Lol

[cunning sun]

And no horrible blue background 🙄

Like sims 4

[cunning sun]

OMG

[paper sparrow]

I copied it from Watch Dogs 2, so how am I any better? 😂

[cunning sun]

This mechanic, but with a townie zoi you take on date and buy clothes for 🤤🤤🤤🤤

[limber kayak]

Some ideas I thought he wouldn't consider is being considered after all, but I've also seen him actively remove things that were not as well expected. So we'll still need time to confirm if some things will stay

[amber herald]

When they add pets, would you all like for the pet to be controllable like Zois or just interactable?

[cunning sun]

I think we all know the answer, considering how "well" cats and dogs was received

[amber herald]

Honestly I am in the camp of not controllable lol

[limber kayak]

personally I'm good with just interacting with animals

[amber herald]

Same lol

[frozen tree]

In Sims 4 there's a cheat you can enable to make pets controllable. But I only used it because the pets were behaving weird

[sleek sage]

I looked around what there is as content to add, and I realized that there were some things missing, so I thought why can’t I lead the example? So I made ethnic stuff for different cultures around the world

[cunning sun]

If they go that route, the pets better not take up any household slots then. That was my main gripe

[amber herald]

This is true! Don't include them in hh size

[sleek sage]

This is my last post on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/inZOI/s/ClcGDabwb1

You can scroll down my profile to find more

[thorny jacinth]

And a better homework system ..my poor zoi 5 kids failing to do homework 🥴😂

[sleek sage]

I hope you like it

[frozen tree]

I say pets don't need to be controllable if they make them correctly. The great thing about pets is that they can be unpredictable sometimes. It makes things a little exciting

[cunning sun]

So.... last week's friday video showed off something that looked a lot like a parent helping their child with their homework, so... 👀

[subtle mason]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-dog-scared-driving-speed-gif-17175923473683955109

[paper sparrow]

One thing I know for sure (since I counted upvotes, filled the XLS from our summer brainstorms, and wrote down the autumn ones in my notes) is that Kjun included the stuff that was in very high demand, often based on the number of upvotes (1-25th positions)

[viral sigil]

I dont want to see direct control of pets. It would just be weird.

[thorny jacinth]

I wish the kids only get 1 homework 😆

[frozen tree]

That poor dog lol

[cunning sun]

I actually think a system where zoi kids have to compete homework the sims way daily would be good. But also, weekly projects where they have to improve a skill, write a report, learn an instrument, ect would be awesome 👀

[limber kayak]

alright so upvotes is very important still. last time it got banned though lol

[frozen tree]

I'd like to know how they made that gif. It looks real 👀

[cunning sun]

AI maybe

[paper sparrow]

that’s how I calculated it, then I posted it in late December, and I think the inZOI team used it when making the roadmap

[frozen tree]

Maybe. Can you imagine someone actually using real animals for that? That would be horrible... 😭

[limber kayak]

Ah I see. yeah I think I saw something that you organized with a long list of things. Very nicely done. They are sure lucky to have you lol

[paper sparrow]

thank you!) it was in our own interest too, to remind what we’d actually asked for

[proper mantle]

👍

[limber kayak]

I mean, it takes a kind of dedicated passion to have that kind of patience. They didn't want your time went to waste obviously

[frozen tree]

They were able to control a car with a remote control in Watch Dogs 2. You never see people attempting something cool like that IRL though. Probably would cost a load of money to do that though

[cunning sun]

Oh, I just realized that both my boutique and grocery store systems are on the roadmap 🤣

Cause I had an idea a while back that we should have regular clothing shops for regular zois and an expensive boutique for the rich zois 🤔

[limber kayak]

my dream of making bands, and kpop idol is near top too 🩷

[cunning sun]

"That mechanic simply wasnt gonna be profitable since not many players used it. Same with cars" -EA

[frozen tree]

That's one of the things I loved in Sims 3. Bands. We could do gigs too

[paper sparrow]

I found this a way back in the brainstorms, I think Dela was the one who posted it, a lot of people were suggesting similar things there)

[cunning sun]

Though, it's very likely this was just bs coming out of their mouth as am excuse to be lazy

[frozen tree]

Of course. Because they don't listen to what we want. They expect us to love what they want

[cunning sun]

"we want bands and cars!"

"No you dont, you didnt use it enough in the sims 3"

[limber kayak]

you mean kpop? what mechanic

[paper sparrow]

bands

[cunning sun]

"Who tf asked for butt-u?!"

"We did! And you will like it!" 🙄

[frozen tree]

They don't know that. It's not like they can monitor our games 🙄

[paper sparrow]

spiral staircases, cars

[cunning sun]

All of the above really 💀

[limber kayak]

I didn't play the sims so I don't know😅

[cunning sun]

Sims 3 had all of these, and sims 4 has none

[limber kayak]

okay.

big question mark

[paper sparrow]

long story short, EA didn’t allow Maxis to include in the EPs any features that weren’t used enough in TS3

[limber kayak]

weird logic to me

do they have some kind of player data to know?

[paper sparrow]

according to Firemonkeys leaks, they do

-# (Sims Freeplay)

[frozen tree]

I don't buy it. They were probably taking guesses at what we were and were not using

[cunning sun]

Yup. Cause im pretty damn certain EVERYBODY in previous sims games used cars, considering the fact you couldnt go anywhere without em 💀

[limber kayak]

Bands allows all kinds of interesting life stories, they're dumb if they don't include it. Especially when many ppl enjoy music as part of their hobby

[frozen tree]

EA: "How can we give them the bare minimum while giving them the impression we're actually working on this game? Screw Sims 3. We know how to make games. We just don't want to overwork ourselves."

[cunning sun]

It was on the list of "not enough interest"

[limber kayak]

But in the end I don't really care cause I'm not a Sims player

[paper sparrow]

No! 😂 everyone used taxis and the subway, but rarely their own cars … but those aren’t in TS4 either
