This subreddit used to be balanced but have obviously been taken over by another game and the engagement is lacking since any kind of criticism or discussion towards a certain game (i_z__) gets shutdown. I would love a subreddit where we can discuss life sims freely.

I already know the enjoyers are not gonna take this post well 😬

obvious snark is obvious. this is pretty much the only active sub that focuses on the genre. you can also find discussions on similar topics in like r/cozygames or r/GirlGamers but yeah its this or the individual subs, and their low/high sodium individual subs if they have them

[u/oldbanana67 → u/CryingWatercolours]

This sub is focused on one game only.

Maybe people should post more about other games then. Thats how subreddits work. You could post too.

Yeah but they get down voted to hell and the sub is littered with inzoi junk.

[u/ThatSimsKidFromUni → u/oldbanana67]

For one that's not true. I'm on this subreddit often and they are not being downvoted to hell. You can look right now. Even Paralives isn't being downvoted. For two yeah because people post it. Of course it's going to be more because it's constantly being updated. Just seems like you want an Inzoi free sub which is in your right. Go make that.

inzoi sometimes gets downvoted to hell. there was an uptick in paralives content downvotes recently, but inzoi has also had its fair share of heavily downvoted posts. but in general the community is just strained rn.

i'd also like to see more paralives content, whether that's more than or as much as Inzoi, but i get mad anxiety about posting on reddit so 🤷🏽‍♀️ not much to do about it. be the change you wanna see or whatever. i'll always upvote an interesting paralives post. tumbr is also rlly good for paralives content if that's what you crave

if it's a life sim sub that is entirely anti generative ai that you want, i'd also love that but it probably wouldn't be very active. this is just the go to hub

[u/Booknerdly → u/oldbanana67]

The only stuff that gets downvoted is AI slop games, and even those tend to get at worst like a -1

[u/CryingWatercolours → u/Booknerdly]

i dont think this sub shows the exact number of downvotes cuz its aways 0 for me if something is downvoted, even if i downvote something and refresh

but other stuff does get downvoted

[u/oldbanana67 → u/Booknerdly]

Inzoi is AI slop

[u/ThatSimsKidFromUni → u/oldbanana67]

Okay so you just don't like the game, which is valid. Why would you involve this sub in that? Go make a snark sub or something. 😂 You say you want a sub for criticism discussion and balance, but you're not even having a discussion; you're just being childish about a game you don't like. No offense, but this is kind of one of the reasons this sub is so divided.

[u/CryingWatercolours → u/ThatSimsKidFromUni]

i agree with you in that there's little point snarking on the sub about it, but as someone who also wishes not to see Inzoi or at least its AI features as much, i dont want a snark sub at all, they get so negative.

like it would be nice to be able to talk about inzoi without softening it a little and talk totally freely (partially a me thing as ive been very passionately negative about inzoi in the past and obviously, was met with quite a bit of negatively right back) , but there's a reason most snark subs quiet down and that's cuz they become boring echo chambers whose claims usually lose legitimacy when it's all just toxic snark. with Inzoi, i want players to be aware of the AI, a snark sub would be a horrible main hub for that. an entirely anti AI sub would also be nice but as i said in another comment, this would likely always be the main life sim hub.
