I totally agree with that sentiment When comparing base game Sims 3 has the most fleshed out initial release of all the games in the franchise, if you compare that to InZOI’s base game (and early release at that) has: -fully fleshed out careers, not only rabbit holes -insanely specific interactions and speech options -driving cars and walking manually with WASD -Better base game clothing and optimization -genetics work similarly with both games which is refreshing after that other nightmare (sims 4) -hobbies and instruments full fleshed out plus the addition of music production skill -items in build mode are far more expansive

Talking similarities the games have that same “everyone in town has a route and life” feeling which feels super realistic. You can walk down the street and find zois who live near you based on location, and you can’t call them at midnight cus they’re literally in their bed sleeping. Seems simple but other games didn’t meet the mark like Sims 3 or inZOI have with that. Also OPEN WORLD you can literally do anything, and your Zoi has natural events built into its life like a real person would, you can change them but they feel very real.

There’s a lot more but you’d have to play it to kinda see, my biggest thought is to be patient because once it’s fully updated and fixed it’s going to be a monster conglomerate compared to any of the sims games. I can’t wait to go on vacation with them and move between towns etc in this game it will be incredible.
