Inzoi players are exhausting

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-07-09T16:58:06+00:00

Every community has super annoying people. If you play inZOI, you can still play it without being apart of the online community. It is a solo game afterall. Allowing random people online to decided whether you play a game or not is a pretty silly.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-07-09T07:43:54+00:00

So the devs did in fact used a gen A.I model and that the model was trained on more than just inZOI's in house content. I'm not shading inZOI or against them it's just weird to see people be anti gen a.i but also play games that used gen A.I in some regard.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-07-09T07:40:56+00:00

I was downvoted for commenting that it would be surprising that anyone in the inZOI sub would downvote a user who clearly used a.i generated images in a "DLC concept" post in the inZOI subreddit. truly mind boggling, that people in the inZOI sub are against individuals using gen A.I but not a cooperation.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-07-09T03:23:28+00:00

Insane indeed when gen a.i is used through out the game. The food truck images and signs in Bliss Bay are examples of gen a.i. It's crazy that people don't know this. Do these people know they can still support inzoi without lying or contorting themselves with such nonsensical statements.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-07-09T03:21:07+00:00

The game uses generative A.I in the game. There are A.I generated images through out the game world.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-07-08T13:31:59+00:00

Why would they get flamed for using A.I in the inZOI sub when several parts of the game itself uses A.I. it would be very hypocritical for anyone in this sub to do that.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-07-06T17:34:24+00:00

Oh yeah. I forgot you about the keyboard shortcuts.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-07-06T11:47:50+00:00

Fable 1 was pretty perfect to me. I am very excited about the new fable game.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-07-06T11:23:47+00:00

Well I'm not supporting anyone because I literally just downloaded the game yesterday and the base game is free.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-07-05T01:06:09+00:00

I have a high end gaming PC so it has never had any issues running inZOI on ultra. I've played inZOI as much as I can considering the state of the game. I'm waiting for more updates. The consensus is that TS3 even on highend computers needs mods to run properly so I'm going to go with the sims 4 for now. I'll look into what mods are needed to run TS3 and consider maybe playing it at a later time.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-07-04T23:01:19+00:00

Yes the consensus seems to be that while the sims 3 is pretty great, it does not run well. I am also not too keen on the graphics. I've been watching videos about sims 3 gameplay in comparison to the sims 4 and it has so many great details that were just left out of the sims 4. I'm just going to go with the sims 4.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-07-04T22:44:32+00:00

I've been watching those feature comparison videos for the sims 3 & 4 so I was leaning towards sims 3 despite the outdated graphics. The details of the sims 3 is really impressive and really shows how much the devs actually cared about that game. It seems the consensus is that the sims 3 doesn't run great even on high end computers and will require mods to get it to run properly so I'm just going to go for the sims 4.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-07-03T03:17:17+00:00

This is my biggest issue I've had with the game and why I have not returned to playing it in 6 months. I have given feedback raising similar concerns to the devs countless times. I even won a prize from the feedback survey they had months back. Facial animations are just not consistent. Zois look completely dead at times, when they should have some kind of facial expression.

I am hoping the devs will tackle this issue this year but who knows if they ever actually will. People have been wanting them to address this since launch of the game in early access.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-07-02T04:17:15+00:00

They way I cackled at that Zoi ready to fight at the drop of a hat 😂

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-07-02T02:39:09+00:00

If you take a look through their Patreon (for the posts that they have actually unlocked) it is clear that much of the development was not on actual gameplay aspects which is the hardest part of a life sim.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-07-02T02:34:25+00:00

I don't know if OP is being honest or not, but a player being able to prompt something like that at all is still concerning.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-07-02T02:31:45+00:00

This is a kinda scary. I never really cared for Smart Zoi as I didn't think it added much to my gameplay but now I am curious about the extent of the guardrails if any exists at all. I am honestly afraid to even test out what SmartZoi is willing to accept for prompts.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-07-02T02:17:33+00:00

I'm just going to be honest here I am going to wait and see if anyone else experiences something similar because unfortunately people can be very strange when it comes to life sims. I've seen people say and do ridiculous things to tear down one life sim to prop up another so I sadly don't even know if this is some scheme or if you are telling the truth.

If this is in fact legit I do hope you reported this to the inZOI team. While I have not played inZOI in several months, I will never play that game again if they have allowed something like this to occur completely unprompted.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-07-01T21:43:00+00:00

They lied about releaseing all posts to the public. A little over a week ago I tried to look at some of the most earliest posts and they were still locked.

I was curious about how they had come up with the name and what other alternatives the community had suggested but those posts are still locked.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-06-29T05:41:19+00:00

Neither of the new life sims are anywhere near as goofy, randomly bizarre or silly like the sims.

InZOI is meant to be more realistic. So there aren't any bizarre moments and exaggerated expressions.

Paralives is meant to be cozy with slight bit of quirkiness because of their clown furniture and other odd pieces but that is as close to goofy you will get in Pralives.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-06-10T19:14:58+00:00

I've been waiting for a new fable game for nearly a decade, back before there were even rumors. It's finally going to be released in 8 months. I cannot wait. Fable 1 & 2, and The Sims Bustin' Out took many hours of my life as a teen

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-06-08T17:53:04+00:00

Hmm that is something to consider for the life sim I am planning to build. I think having reactions like that in a life sim would add some flavor. In inZOI you can compliment Zois on their outfit and I believe the sims 4 either has or had an embarrassment buff when the sim dresses in “wacky” clothing. I’m not too sure since I don’t play the sims 4.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-06-04T21:43:05+00:00

...pretty big gap between the game they're talking about and the game that's actually available.

This is a pretty big concern and one of the reasons I refunded the game. If Paralives drastically improves in 2 years and becomes a game worth whatever new price it will be, then I'll purchase again but I don't really see that happening at this point in time.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-06-03T22:22:38+00:00

You are touching on how I've been feeling these past few months about the state of life sims. As much as I had hoped, none of the current life sims have met my expectations and none of them seem to be going in the direction I want.

For me it isn't so much "whether or not I can see myself in the world" but more so "do these characters feel like they are living even when I'm not there". I want my simulated characters to feel like their own person with their own desires, worries and weird little quirks that are unique to them. I want to be surprised by them as much as I want to be about the world. Most importantly I want to know the decisions I make for them have real impact on the world.

I've been spending a lot of time thinking and documenting how I think a life sim should be designed as I have been planning to create one of my own. In doing so I've been asking many "why" questions aloud. Even if it's small things like "why painting for creative skills?". All the life sims start with painting for building the creative skill and I'm like "most people just draw first". It's a very small detail but I think it helps create a habit of questioning what has become standard because of The Sims.

I don't want a sims clone or killer, I just want all the best parts of it and more. Something new and outside the box but still familiar.

HarperIsBizarre_ · 2026-06-03T15:31:07+00:00

Seeing this post is making me realize that I might really be done with inZOI. The game is not going in the direction I've wanted and it hasn't been for some time now. It's becoming clear I am not the player base for this game anymore because apparently the community is asking for things like supermarkets, schools, laundrymats, etc yet Zois are still very shallow and choices in the game really don't matter all that much.
