inZOI | What CITIES will be Included with BASE GAME

[@lesimon12]

I would love to see the cities inspired by Paris or Venice.

[@SugarZoi]

Venice would be amazing!

[@iceman7_597]

With all the rats and waste ?

[@xlightable]

There are so many more beautiful and CLEAN cities in Europe, I'm sick of Paris and Venice being promoted all the time. US cities are over-promoted too. Come up with something new and fresh, please.

[@Aleksssssssss]

Ew no

[@Li-lr8lx]

Absolutely! Venice is nice

[@ARP_1922]

I really love the social stability option, to better customize your cities. It looks like a lot of fun and creative. And I hope in the future they create more cities based on other parts of the world such as Europe, South America, Africa, Middle East, Australia/New Zealand... Am I asking too much? hahaha

[@SugarZoi]

Definitely not asking too much, lol. I want cities like Moscow, Istanbul, Vienna, etc. The list goes on! 😂

[@Salimah45]

The realism is so striking. The Sims has some real competition now. I can’t wait until the game comes out!

[@williamwatson4354]

I worked in Santa Monica for 30 years. I live about 4 miles from the pier. That is so exciting. My interest in inZoi has skyrocketed.

[@SugarZoi]

It must have been beautiful living there. I was able to visit once on a work trip. I had to stop myself from constantly making comparisons to GTAV and the feeling of "I've been here before", lol.

[@user-we6iv5pn3x]

I personally feel like this game will offer significantly more real game play compared to the Sims 4 base game. I was looking forward to Life by You, but with that being cancelled, this game is now on my top list to play after it launches. That and a good sale on the asking price.

[@SugarZoi]

It’s insane how much content is coming with base game. And they will only be adding more with time! I’m super excited for this launch. ☺️

[@ramsey6394]

we've barely seen any gameplay but ok... the play tests were boring af and all they've shown since then is cars

​@@ramsey6394 keep up with updates

[@leocutie9419]

Sameeee❤

[@SimlikeitHot]

​@@ramsey6394They are expecting this to be the hyper realistic Sims game they always wanted. To me, it looks like another gta wanna be. It doesn't feel like life simulation...looks boring.

[@xlightable]

I'd love to see Europe-inspired castles on hills next to a river and/or a sea. My ultimate dream is Mont Saint-Michel. A cute island city would be fantastic.

[@SugarZoi]

That sounds so beautiful! 😍

[@Idk-sj8ly]

I would love if they put a Latin American city like Mexico City or Rio de Janeiro in the game because both are very interesting and cosmopolitan cities. Also, in both cities there is a very clear gap between the upper class and lower class so that could be shown to create an interesting game play experience.

[@jubmelahtes]

I really wanna see an Arctic city. I've always lived here so having a game with realistic day night cycles with polar night and northern lights over a mountainous frozen landscape by the sea or eternal summer days where the sun never sets

[@SugarZoi]

That would be amazing!

[@miriangrass3976]

Since the third city will be in SE Asia, I would LOVE a Thai city!

[@Kayambo974]

As a French person, would have loved Marseille or Paris. For the US, I’d love San Francisco For Brazil, Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo

[@fogbank99]

I am amazed at the realistic look of the cities and the Zois. I can see that they have some detailed animations (making food, dancing, interactions, etc.) I am curious to see how Zoi life evolves - from young people getting together, getting married, starting families, getting older, etc. Will they have a set time for life stages to pass or have an option to freeze Zoi age until we want to celebrate a birthday / new age group? How big a family can we have in one household? This definitely looks interesting!

[@SugarZoi]

We know there are set life stages but I am hoping that there are ways to slow down or disable aging. I’d have to double check the amount of time but it seemed like a short lifespan and it was brought to the director’s attention and even he admitted it seems kinda fast. I’m hoping with his reaction that it means they are aware some of us would like longer life stages or an option to disable.

[@queen_teetee1696]

Imagine what the mods and cc will look like for this game

[@k3salieri]

Hopefully the mod support is good.

[@miabytex]

I love the idea of Urban Stability

[@XxRianaX]

The southeast asia street prob gonna take place inspiration like in Thailand street food bangkok, Bali temple, Singapore??? Im sooo excitedd

[@SugarZoi]

I was definitely thinking Bangkok! Jakarta or Bali would be amazing, too!

[@iAvrilFan1]

I would love Puerto Rico inspired island city! With lucha libre being an option for a career path haha

[@lilysnow1358]

I really want Paris and Tokyo 😍

[@blueside9147]

I hope they do New Orleans, France, and Rome. Also, a suburban area and rural area would be cool, too

[@Incoherent-excitement]

I'm hoping they'll eventually add some English and/or European type cites as the architecture is beautiful.

[@SugarZoi]

Yes! I'm a sucker for the beautiful, green English countryside. I was thrilled when Sims 4 gave us Henford-on-Bagley. Would adore something like that.

[@Hi_Rochie]

I would love a Caribbean world ❤😭 this looks amazing

[@RyanMorrisonMusic]

The South Korean inspired city is 100% going to be the one I play in the most! I can't wait for this game

[@dynamic.catharsis8987]

Who took this play footage? Because, if this was someone on their team - it’s laggy on THEIR computer, imagine it on your own (very likely less beefed) computer.

[@SugarZoi]

Which footage in particular? I have slowed down the video in some places which may possibly account for some footage not appearing smooth. They are still optimizing the game. The footage shared with us so far is pre-optimization.

[@dynamic.catharsis8987]

@@SugarZoiah okay. Of course the graphics make my computer hum with nervousness 😅 that makes sense though and makes me more hopeful!

[@jessetownes]

When this game comes out, I'm gonna play the second city most of all. I'll be playing this game so much. I bet it'll be amazing.

[@frenchfries1696]

I hope in the 3rd city, which is based on SEA, we can actually be in a village rather than big capital city. And the exclusive job there will be a farmer or grocery store at home.

[@SugarZoi]

We haven’t gotten any footage of it yet so I’m saving the surprise, but yes, I am seeing it is more of a smaller village. I’m very excited for it! 🎉

[@Kehwanna]

I would love to have a fictional city that isn't necessarily of any particular country. Just a place that let's your imagination run wild.

[@GilbertAngel]

i cant wait to play this game

[@slindilebhuda3277]

Who wants to see the new game inzoi be a multiplayer game Imagine playing with other people from other countries making new friends

[@SugarZoi]

It's a single player game but the devs have said they are considering multiplayer features like inviting your friend over.

[@jessicashorter2860]

Something rural/historical would be so cool

[@SugarZoi]

I would love that! ✨

[@johnyboy9102]

I wish they also make a places to travel for vocation, some tropic islands for example

[@xtinafusco]

Hope they include Netherlands, it would be so pretty to have canals everywhere, bike paths, and it would still have the density to make gameplay fun. But adding a more 'nature' focused city would be super cool too, then the inZoi can do outdoorsy activities like hiking, kayaking, fishing etc. This game has so much potential!! I hope that besides the cities they develop, they let content creators go wild in creating other cities too!!!

[@SugarZoi]

Yes! 100% agree with everything here! 🙌

[@rikahafidahkartika7606]

I hope my ultra5 processor with arc graphic can handle this game 😢

[@wonhobubbles3544]

There should be some expansion packs where you visit other places of the world! I can’t wait to play this game! I’m even more excited if they go along with multiplayers!

[@sharkula.1]

I love how you're already prepared for the game with your own channel name 😭😭

[@SugarZoi]

I've been thinking about it since I saw the game late last year! I finally decided to pull the trigger. I'm so overwhelmed by everyone's encouraging and sweet comments. I can't wait to play this game with y'all. 🥰

[@sharkula.1]

@@SugarZoi I'm so glad to find someone who's just as excited about it 😭😭 I literally cannot wait for the game to come out, hopefully you can become viral and get a pre-access!

[@melu0o]

i understand its still in development, but they really have to work on optimization. Every presentation we've seen we can see its running on 15-10 fps. This is not a good look regardless of how early it is. It makes everything looks shaky and makes alot people become put off by it.

[@SugarZoi]

They are working on that optimization. By the way, I’ve slowed down the footage in some areas of this video by quite a bit. It could account for some footage not appearing smooth. In any case, they know it behooves them to optimize the best way possible so more people will play their game.

[@WhiskeyBlack777]

I'm still on the fence about inZOI tbh. The game looks stunning. But the reason I play The Sims is for the chaos & the humor and the weird crap my Sims do that just cracks me up. I feel like this game is going to be a lot more serious about stuff.

[@SugarZoi]

I do love the quirky nature of the Sims. There definitely appears to be some relationship chaos in inZOI in the form of physical altercations and arguments so far. Hopefully they add more, though.

[@user-id4wv8ew6w]

Africa has a lot of beautiful cities as well.

[@Monetxoxo]

I hope they add Honolulu Hawaii. That would be gorgeous

[@SugarZoi]

That would definitely be gorgeous!

[@k3salieri]

My biggest worry is the performance. Since just about every trailer and teaser I've seen the video is struggling to keep a smooth framerate. Like thats News section where it's chugging.

[@SugarZoi]

I have not seen what you’re describing in other videos. I need to put a disclaimer on this video. I drastically reduced the speed in some clips since the original goes by so fast. So that makes some frames in this video appear laggy. Sorry about that. It’s definitely something I’ll keep in mind for future videos.

[@chewychukabee]

love the city reveal, and i think the 3rd city will be based off Bangkok, Thailand

[@VinnyMurasaki]

I can't wait to explore the cities! My guess for the third city is Singapore. I'd love to see a city based on Seattle, where I am from.

[@JustChim]

Never see another life simulation game coming out to beat Sims. This game has demo trailer only

[@SugarZoi]

There’s more than just a trailer. There’s a few interviews with the developers where they share behind the scenes footage on the game. They also allowed a few KZbin content creators to play the game themselves for a short amount of time to showcase the game. It is planned for release later this year.

[@robertofernandez7773]

Very nice looking. But it is soooo detailed that I'm afraid only Very powerful computers will work. I definitely would play it. The Santa Monica based city, definitely my favorite, the third one I hope it's not Singapore since Seoul and Singapore are very similar in many ways. A city in Thailand or the Phillipines would be cool. Although in the map they mark it as somewhere close to Bali. I don't know if that has anything to do with accuracy in game. I would have imagined the third one to be in Europe or south America, but is a Korean game so it makes sense to be close to their neck of the woods.

[@SugarZoi]

Bali was one of my thoughts for the 3rd city as well. Also Bangkok or Jakarta. I can’t wait to find out.

[@debradavis3935]

The graphics are beautiful! The cities are neat the Zois look nice, I don’t see any gameplay features at all. So far it just looks like second life…a p,ave to walk around and socialize with others while pretending that things are happening. I hope it will be more than that!

[@SugarZoi]

Hi, Debra. My other video goes a little into gameplay features like careers and relationships. The Zois are supposed to have a more in depth personality than Sims, for example. I’m sure we’ll get more info before game release.

[@unitedstaars]

Make a blank area for us to make our own cities by having buildings, roads, etc templates in the gallery

[@SugarZoi]

That’s kinda in line with Sims 3 CAW (Create-a-World), right? We won’t have that anytime soon, it seems. I touched on that in my last Build Mode video if you’re interested. I really hope they eventually implement a feature like this.

[@toubee]

I‘m really scared this game will end up in a DLC/MTX hell just like The Sims did.

[@SugarZoi]

Gosh, I really hope not. EA is way out of hand.

[@leoesque2803]

I hope the 3rd city is Singapore. My home country. Can show the futuristic, green & culture parts of Singapore. Other than Singapore, I hope it’s city based on cities in Indonesia. Those have more Southeast Asian feel with the cultures & whole bunch of wonderful nature. Indonesia is like a place where you can see the mix of Mainland SEA culture & Maritime SEA culture.

[@SugarZoi]

I would be thrilled to see that!

[@alicee_wonderwaffle]

I think the 3rd city is based on Bangkok.

[@Li-lr8lx]

Small town near the Alps in Switzerland or Austria would be perfect, honestly I dislike big cities. 😊

Not enough optimization in the world if you’re running on old hardware. I’ve heard from people who’ve actually tried the demo played on rigs with i9 processors, don’t know which generation of i9 tho. If it’s an older generation of i9, you might be able to get away with an i5 or i7 depending on the generation.

[@zkextreme3330]

As someone who lives in Southeast Asia, I am excited to learn that Inzoi will release with a city based on Southeast Asia in their base game. Back when I was an avid Sims player, I was disappointed how lacking The Sims series was to Asian culture because it made their games heavily inaccurate to the life I lived. I once made a thread in a forum about The Sims series being too American and it became my most popular thread on that site. From then on, I wished for an Asian company to make a life sim game so that I could relate more to the game. Now that Inzoi is in development, I'm happy that we're getting Asian representation, and more than that, specifically Southeast Asian representation too!

[@SugarZoi]

I think EA tried with Sims 3 World Adventures (it includes China as a travel destination) and Sims 4 Snowy Escape. But I know what you mean, it’s not the same. InZOI is also using consultants for building cities with cultures they’re not too familiar with such as the American based city of Bliss Bay. I’m hoping they continue that for other cities across the globe.

[@zkextreme3330]

@@SugarZoi I have never played an expansion pack of The Sims for various reasons, so I don't know what you mean by "I know what you mean, it's not the same."; but let me take a guess. Is the problem in World Adventures that it presents China as a tourist destination rather than a place to reside in? On another note, I remember a concern of users in my thread said that if EA did implement more foreign culture into the game, they might just be stereotypical. I can see that concern. I'm pleased to read you say that the Inzoi team has consultants to rely on for making the cities outside of their own country. I think Inzoi is going in the right direction. They're trying to make the setting authentic, rather than exotic or stereotypical like what EA did with The Sims series. My real wish for The Sims was to be more culturally neutral. When I said I wished for an Asian company to make a life sim game so that I could relate more, I said that assuming that companies will always overwhelmingly make their games represent their own country only. But Inzoi, being made by a South Korean company, appears to not only cover East Asia and America, which would make sense as those must be their primary target audiences, but surprisingly Southeast Asia too! So I'm glad the Inzoi team is making the game cover different cultures and societies. This is a philosophy I think The Sims never had.

[@ramsey6394]

[@SugarZoi]

I’m ecstatic about this release but I will absolutely point out cons if I find any. With the game not being out yet, it’s not easy to find cons. So far, the only “cons” I can think of are potentially needing high spec PC (which is unconfirmed since specs reqs have not been announced) and limitations with build mode. I’m very interested to hear from you if you have spotted any other cons, though. I will not shield this game from constructive criticism. Pls let me know if you have any. 👍
