Ummm... I thought you guys should probably see this...

I'm really glad I didn't decide to download that character creator demo, even though it was free.

Edit: an update from the person who tweeted this. I apologize for cropping them out of the original post

OKAY WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT INZOI

[wistfulpoltergeist]

LET'S GOOOO! (∩˃o˂∩)♡

My prayers were heard :D Character creation lacks some sliders for the chin (it moves with lower lip, which is meh) plus nose length works not exactly I wanted it to and there's no general head size slider.T__T Body sliders are very limited too so far, but BUT! Just look at this. Look at this quality! This is awesome! I do hope they'll take time and polish it right. It's gonna be a pure candy.♡

It's very nice that they added Freddy Mercury as a preset in InZOI :>

So my Inzoi character creator is still working (I thought it would stop on the 26th) but it won't let me upload to canvas. But as long as it works I think I'm going to do more sims premades as zois, it's so much fun ☮👾

Attempted to make Bobby McKenzie from Love Island: The Game season 2 (which is sadly no longer available 😔)

My favorite LI in all the mobile visual novel games I’ve ever played! His fictional pixel soul will forever have a place in my heart 😢

Потыкала я этот ваш инзой 🥴

На скринах вы можете увидеть мою попытку создания Талии (со второго раза) 🧡

Что не понравилось:

Сложно подобрать нужный оттенок волос даже с использованием всей цветовой палитры

Мало кудрявых волос (понимаю, что это всего лишь демоверсия, но там было всего две подходящие причёски, и вторая была какая-то дебильная 😭)

Если пытаешься подвинуть какую-либо часть лица вниз/вбок, либо увеличить, появляются непонятные складки или морщины

ОЧЕНЬ УСТАЮТ ГЛАЗА!!!

Не хватает пресетов глаз, рта, носа. Ну либо я их не нашла...

Что понравилось:

РЕСНИЦЫ!!! Боже, их прям реально сосчитать можно было!

Проработка одежды, её качество. Да, комп чуть не взлетел, но зато было видно, насколько тот или иной свитер мягонький)

Возможность НАДЕВАТЬ КУРТКИ/ПИДЖАКИ!! Но их выбор был немного посредственный, если честно

Маникюр! И возможность поиграть с его цветами

Как итог: попробовать интересно, но сил на создание мужского персонажа не осталось))) возможно чуть позже попробую, но а пока хочеца простого человеческого вернуться в свой уютненький симсек

my Zoi ... 😊 if the game is as good as the character settings it is more than brilliant…Sims gets painful competition

[katverse]

My newest zoi for inZOI 😏

A tad bit cringe is okay, right? 😅

The Boys in inZOI

In the pic above you see inZOI Jack. I made him this t shirt! And it was so easy! Since we will get drums in the basegame (imagine that!) he'll be a drummer ^^' And cars (!!!). So the background shows him in front of his future garage hahaha

Sai

Ji Ho

I already mentioned a few times that I have a kind of face blindness, so it's very hard for me to recreate the Boys. But I'm very pleased with them, even though they look so different. I think I was able to catch their vibe at least ^^' Oh my, I can't wait to play with them! They are so, so beautiful omg

Here is Sai. Also totally different ö.ö but so pretty

And Ji Ho, I think he's much too cute There's still a lot to change, I guess. But I'm so happy it works out so well. I've been so worried ^^'

If you want to try yourself:

My Thoughts on Inzoi

I figured since my post about the whole Inzoi terms of service debacle blew up in a way that I never would have predicted, I should probably give a more nuanced explanation of my stance on the game and the discourse around it in general.

First off, I will just say right off the bat that I am not a fan of Inzoi, and unless some very big changes are made to the game, I am not interested in playing it.

I also want to make clear that my dislike of Inzoi is NOT motivated by any sort of love or loyalty to EA or The Sims. If there's one good thing to come out of Inzoi its breaking the monopoly that EA has over the life sim genera and giving The Sims competition. I also want to say that I despise EA for what it has done to the Sims franchise, and while I have played an absurd amount of hours in The Sims 4, I think it is objectively a bad product.

My biggest problem with Inzoi, first and foremost, is it's the use of AI. Inzoi allows players to use generative AI to make custom textures, designs, and paintings within the game. You may not agree with me on this but I am fully of the opinion that real artists should have been hired and paid to create all of the textures/paintings/designs for this game. Allowing players to upload their own photos and videos is one thing, but Krafton, a multi billion dollar company, chose to not support real, professional artists so they could save what is essentially pennies to them. All this results in, frankly, ugly and uncanny looking generated designs plastered all over the furniture and decor. For this reason alone I do not support Inzoi, but there's so much more to it than that.

There's also the fact that we have no idea how their AI is trained. Krafton apparently has an "AI Ethics Committee," but we have no clue what their actual code of ethics are. While it's bad faith to assume, they could be using stolen artwork for their AI. It is also very likely that whatever images you upload into the game, as well as any use of their facial scanning feature, could also be used as material to train their AI. This could lead to all sorts of ethical and legal issues I don't even know where to begin.

Secondly, I have to say, looking at the early access footage from youtubers and everything else I've heard about the game, it feels like its only going to repeat most of TS4's mistakes. In youtuber NotMalcolm's most recent video he discusses Inzoi's overly sanitized approach to various aspects of life, most notably that you can't try for a baby unless you are already married (source). Just like TS4, Inzoi is appealing to a younger demographic and sanding down the rougher aspects of life in order to cater to them. I fear that Krafton is likely taking it a step further and not only watering down the game for the sake of potential child players, but also using them as an excuse to enforcing extremely traditional values on its players. I have no interest in playing a life sim that only allows me to play out a single, socially acceptable way of living.

It also, like TS4, feels like a Young Adult Wish Fulfillment Sim™. The gameplay looks shallow, and it feels like it exists more to make aesthetic screenshots than it does to be an actual game.

I think when people say that Inzoi is missing the "quirky weirdness" of the Sims, what they actually mean is that Inzoi is devoid of personality. One thing that stuck out to me immediately is that the animations are so stiff, robotic, and lifeless. Again, everything is made to be ~*Aesthetic*~ with no regard to an actual sense of identity or personality.

I know people will say that its only in early access, but given how close public early access is to release, I highly doubt any significant changes are going to be made to improve what will be given to us when the time comes.

On a similar note, there's the fact that Krafton has never made a game before now that hasn't been riddled with micro transactions. I personally predict that Inzoi's monetization strategy will be just as, if not more predatory than TS4's is. The fact that we are drawing so close to public early access and have not heard a single word on their method of monetization speaks volumes. I simply do not trust it.

Now, of course, I need to elaborate on the whole Terms of Service Situation. I understand fully that Krafton's terms of service is industry standard and not too dissimilar to EAs, however, this post highlights that whats really concerning about Krafton's ToS is how difficult and confusing it is for players to access and review it. I find it understandable that Krafton's proud use of AI makes people a lot more nervous as to what their data could potentially be used for, and are going to be a lot more weary of Inzoi's ToS. Though I understand that it is only speculation, many have made the assumption that Krafton may use user's personal data to train AI.

I did not expect my post on the subject to make so much traction, and I now regret how impulsively I made the post. I feel I've contributed to fear mongering, even though I feel my concerns at the time were valid and I felt like people had the right to know. I could have done more research and given more of an explanation for what my concerns were instead of basically saying "Yikes..." and leaving it at that.

I was also told through an anonymous ask that the auto accepting of the ToS on closing the game was a bug that had apparently been fixed the first day the character creation trial was available. I of course cannot verify this myself, but I will take them on good faith.

I would also like to touch on two other talking points that have been very prevalent in the Inzoi discourse:

Diversity - I think this links back to my previous point about the game's goal of being as ~*aesthetic*~ (and marketable) as possible at the detriment of everything else. The game is clearly catering to a very specific, very pale and thin standard of Korean beauty, and I think that everything that doesn't conform to that standard was sidelined as a result. I will be fair and say that the Inzoi team still has ample opportunity to fix this and add more options over time. TS4 was also severely lacking on release, but over the years has made great strides in regards to representation. However I would have hoped that Inzoi, a game planning to release in early access in 2024, would do a lot better than a game that was initially released in 2014.

Partnership with Curseforge - I've seen many people accuse critics of Inzoi's partnership with Curseforge of being hypocritical, since TS4 also has a partnership with them. Of course, one would have to ignore the massive, community wide boycott of Curseforge, and the pressure the community has put on CC creators to stop using the platform for that claim to hold any water. I also think there is a notable difference in EA choosing to partner with Curseforge before the Israel/Palestine conflict began, and Krafton actively choosing to partner with Curseforge now, during an active genocide taking place, in which Curseforge's parent company, Overwolf, actively advocates for and donates to those committing said genocide.

In conclusion, there are a lot of valid reasons to not like/be suspicious of Inzoi. Of course I can't tell you what to do or what games you play, nor can I force you to agree with me, but don't be so quick to write off or demonize those who are simply trying to raise awareness or drawing boundaries regarding Inzoi and those who choose to make content with it.

I also encourage you to consider the points I've made and maybe think twice before investing yourself in yet another game that will very likely exploit your attachment to it in the very same way that EA and the Sims has. You need to make them deserve your time and money, which is why I'm encouraging you to advocate for a better and more ethical game.

You deserve better. We all do.

inZOI...............

[rollo-rolls]

Well... Character Creation in InZOI isn't as pleasant as in Sims (especially Sims 3 hehe). It may be a fun addition in Steam library but it won't replace Sims in any way. I don't feel any connection with the characters at all and editing them (because you use already existing presets) is somehow a tiring task. Also, too few long hairstyles!

[gryficowa]

Boycott!

Now that I have your attention:
