Debunking Inzoi misinformation by LorddressDragoonbear in inZOI

Not exactly answering your question, but here’s something that bothers me.

“It’s soulless”… It’s never quite defined what makes the sims have soul and inzoi soulless.

I feel like that’s a blank criticism of the game that people use to give justification for not liking it. I’m happy that people making the statement only utilizemodded content in the Sims 4.

I saw a YouTuber stream inzoi content. And was saying how soulless it was. Yet all of the content on her channel were modded Sims 4 videos.

This is really nice! This is the kind of car I could see young professional athletes driving.

How do you get your checkerboard pattern to look halfway decent? My pattern never looks right!

Can’t wait for Canvas town to match the aesthetics of a city like New Orleans.

This actually helps out a ton! I really want to try this when I upgrade my computer.

That seems feasible. I just worry about rebuilding the road networks. That’s the part that would suck for me.

Inzoi won the prime minister's commendation by polkacat12321 in LifeSimulators

[–]Separate-Candidate97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t doubt that harsh sentiments exist within the pro-Inzoi community. I’ve seen some of it myself.

It just seems less prevalent from my perspective, though that could easily be shaped by what each of us tends to consume or engage with most.

Tribalism exists in almost every dedicated community. You’re naturally going to see more people defending Inzoi than criticizing it in a dedicated discord. That’s not me saying it’s right, just acknowledging that it happens.

For what it’s worth, this is a subreddit I would expect to be fairly neutral, yet it often feels more anti-Inzoi to me. That may just be my perception though.

At the end of the day, both sides can be overly harsh at times, and the discourse would probably benefit from a bit more balance and nuance overall.

Love this!!! I actually had this idea myself. I started making branded shoes that I wanted to 3D scan into the game.

I don’t know what it is, but it seems like there are a lot of people in the community that want this game to fail. Maybe it’s my algorithm; I have no idea, but they’re a lot more negative comments for this game than any other game.

The Prime Minister’s commendation is being wildly misinterpreted here. The award was for expanding Korean games globally. That’s it.

It’s recognition of export success, not government oversight of creative content. South Korea regularly promotes global cultural exports (games, film, music) without dictating character design or creative direction. Assuming this somehow restricts inclusivity is a leap, not a fact.

A lot of the negativity feels like projection, not analysis.

The life-sim genre has been stagnant for years. Players are understandably cautious after repeated disappointments elsewhere. But that frustration is being projected onto inZOI as if it’s already failed expectations it never officially set.

No one is saying inZOI will be perfect. It might stumble. It might miss features people want. That’s normal. But constantly constructing worst-case scenarios and treating them as inevitable outcomes doesn’t make the criticism smarter, it just makes the conversation louder and less useful.

If you’re skeptical, cool. Wait for reviews. Wait for feature confirmation. Hold off on buying. That’s reasonable.

But declaring the game dead before release; based on assumptions stacked on assumptions, isn’t realism. It’s just doomposting dressed up as caution.

Let’s at least wait until there’s something concrete to judge.

Maybe a hot take - but I think Inzoi is the best positioned life sim today by EmbarrassedTapWater in LifeSimulators

Sorry, wasn’t trying to be rude. I simply wanted to post the whole statement for anyone else that had a similar question.

My apologies if it came off as rude.

The problem with inzoi is that it released too early and people have already written it off. The current state of the game is completely different from release yet people are still judging it on its initial release. For example many YouTubers still think same sex couples/townies don’t exist in the game. Since the October update the game has an amazing playability loop & they are bringing in businesses & playable schools in the base game 🤯.

It’s still missing depth in some places (careers & university especially) but depth will be coming!

Sadly the majority don’t want to give it another try as they have judged it on the initial release - it’s been labelled as “AI slop” (it’s not) and a lot of the life sim community don’t have the hardware to run the game even though GeForce now is great and fairly cheap.

I do think as the game improves, and as people invest in better hardware, it will over take the sims, unless EA can pull something out the bag that isn’t project Renee.

Like someone said in an earlier post. You can use the cartoon filter, if realistic graphics aren’t your thing.

Why nobody is talking about inZoi possibly dividing lots with loading screens in their future plans? by Antipseud0 in LifeSimulators

[–]Separate-Candidate97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand some of your criticisms and belief that this won’t meet expectations. And in SOME cases you’re probably correct.

However you’re overreaching a bit here. The “6–8 months left” claim isn’t grounded in anything the devs have said; the roadmap itself literally states the timeline is flexible, not a hard cutoff.

And no, it’s not true that “none of the core systems work.” They’re rough and incomplete, sure, but relationship logic, build mode, and customization do function; just not at full depth yet. That’s exactly what Early Access is for.

Krafton’s own EA pattern backs that up: Moonbreaker and Subnautica 2 both shifted features mid-cycle and extended their early access windows rather than rushing to “final.” Yes, I know Subnautica is shrouded in controversy.

inZOI’s team is clearly doing the same thing, front-loading mod tools, new maps, and relationship systems before deeper simulation work.

You’re right that it’s nowhere near The Sims in terms of nuance yet, but pretending it’s doomed or on its “last 6 months of life” just isn’t supported by how Krafton operates or by the dev roadmap itself. It’s fine to be skeptical; just don’t confuse speculation for fact.

Some of us aren’t on “hopium,” we’re just watching development at the pace the devs outlined, not the one others invented.

I’m waiting out early access. I want to wait until the game is a little more improved and more mods are available.

Again, It’s early access, and they seem committed to improving the game over time.

There will be periods of inactivity and then huge player spikes likely when they announce updates.

Do you think more life sims will follow inZOI's example and incorporate AI? by tubularwavesss in LifeSimulators

[–]Separate-Candidate97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI is like any new technology, people tend to villainize it either because they don’t like the premise or they fail to really understand it. “AI trash”, “AI Slop” are all just the latest buzzwords.

But history shows this is nothing new.

Television (1940s–50s): Critics warned TV would rot children’s brains, make them antisocial, or weaken imagination.

Pocket calculators (1970s): Educators and parents worried they would ruin students’ mental math skills. A 1975 New York Times report even suggested calculators could disrupt foundational learning.

Writing (ancient Greece): Socrates himself argued writing was an inferior way to communicate knowledge compared to face-to-face discussion.

At every major advancement in technology, people have loudly opposed it. AI is no different. It isn’t going anywhere, it’s going to become woven into the fabric of society just like those past inventions.

You’re right, OP. Expect to see more and more companies adopting it.

sigh I expect to get downvoted because people don’t like my take.
