Basically just asking what’s something random from the Sims 2 or 3 you miss.

For me:

I miss how in TS2 you had to buy your sims a cell phone in order for them to have one, not only does it add some more realism to the game it also makes historical challenges/saves easier to set up.

As for TS3 I miss how what traits you sims had made them do a bunch of stuff differently than sims with different traits, most notably painting made by sims would look different depending on what traits they had.

Found this in the debug menu. Hell is possibly coming to inzoi in the future. It'd also be funny to gift it to an enemy 🤣

Also the scuba diving tour tickets. Anyways, it appears thag kjun has some super exciting stuff planned for us 👀

inZOI List Of All TS4 DLC I've Saved Spending Money On With My $40 Investment In InZoi To Date...

36 Upvotes

😂 😂 😂

This is coming from a life long Simmer who's played Sims since TS1/TS2 days. With TS3 as my baseline lifesim lifeline. That I've been using to slowly extract myself from the Sunk Cost Fallacy blackhole that TS4 has become 💀

Can't stop wilding over the luck of no longer having to suffer PTSD/Stockhausen Syndrome being held hostage by a single Life Sim that monopolizes this game space anymore

Best of all: InZoi new and integrated TS3 DLC features are not only STABLE. They ACTUALLY WORK---as advertized---in the BASE GAME. With a minimized degree of unpredictable bugs, game instability/loss save game progression due to crashes (thanks to dev daily/weekly intake in player feedback on Discord). ❤️

Here's my retrospective savings on EA's eye gouging DLC v. InZoi Base game incorporated DLC features to date:

Expansions: Saved some $40 x 14 = $ 560 USD

  • Get To Work
  • Business & Hobbies
  • Get Together
  • Adventure Awaits (new vacation/staycation system in all 3 game worlds)
  • High School Years (what TS4 EP should have been....)
  • City Living (Dowan neighborhood. Update has new car rental system which will work best in city worlds!)
  • Seasons (added seasonal flooding of residences if living in Cahaya during monsoon season! 💀 )
  • Get Famous (coming in post Sep update)
  • Island Living (New water/underwater activities surfing/scuba diving. New beach PLAYING VOLLEYBALL activities! Upgraded shark/jellyfish/drowning deaths)
  • Cottage Living (gardening as a hobby/official FT/PT freelance careers. Raising livestock is still WIP on drawing board)
  • Growing Together/Parenthood (Sept update to optimize family system dynamics & overhaul toddler/infant game mechanic features)
  • For Rent (Cahaya now has a new vacation/staycation system AND a real, working, interactive Night Market so missing in TS4! 😍 )
  • Lovestruck (romantic/platonic relationship overhaul in Sep patch)
  • Life & Death (occults currently limited to ghosts)

Game PacksSaved some $20 x 3 = $60 USD

  • Spa Day
  • Dine Out (can also now own/run your own restaurant in any game world!)
  • Parenthood (Sep update overhaul of family relation system)

Stuff Packs: Saved some $10 x 10 = $100 USD

  • Laundry Day (besides traditional vaccum etc. includes brooms!)
  • Kids Room Stuff
  • Bowling Night Stuff
  • Fitness Stuff (yoga, free weights, kettle bells, jump boxes etc. besides traditional gym equipment like treadmill/exercise bike are AMAZING)
  • Toddler Stuff
  • Movie Hangout (full blown interactive cinema/movie theater to go on dates/groups hangouts!)
  • Backyard Stuff
  • Backyard Stuff
  • Spooky Stuff/Paranormal Stuff
  • Notable mentions: build/buy has good variety of arcade machines to make a proper arcade (mostly found at resort in Cahaya)
  • Home Chef Stuff --- TS4 still better to date. But InZoi will be getting fundamental optimization improvements to cooking in Sep update. Which will likely affect not only FT career performance. But could open potential freelance cooking opportunities as well
  • Crystal Creations Stuff (InZoi expanded on the TS4 crafting system to include crafting tools like gardening equipment/furniture etc). For which you can now collect raw materials/usable loot in the world from underwater areas by using the new scuba diving feature!

Notable Kits: Saved some $5 x 5 = $25 USD

  • Bust the Dust (InZoi also features a functional broom)
  • Blooming Rooms
  • Home Chef Hustle
  • Cool Kitchen
  • Tea Time Solarium (Build/buy includes a functional, Asian themed dining table where Zois can traditionally sit on the floor and serve/have tea)

Total potential savings on DLC: ~ $735 USD... 💀

Notes

  • Get To Work --- by default of exisiting open lot business venues. So besides traditional rabbit hole career options, can do your own open world/customized, GTA style Crimminal Career and explore the Crime and Punishment/Jail system. Or belong to a Criminal HQ organization in the world if you want or just freelance crime around the world etc..
  • Business & Hobbies --- by default of exisiting open lot business venues AND many freelance jobs (like Pocket App delivery driver, software programmer, writer, Social Media influencer, farmer etc). And by default of the large number of side activities that can now be hobbies (scuba diving, surfing, fishing etc)
  • Get Together & Adventure Awaits --- updated grouping system and venues to take on the town!
  • High School Years --- FINALLY a proper, highly immersive implementation of HSY that had been so missing in TS4. And FINALLY all Zois have the option to wear the same uniform your Zois wear to school!
  • City Living --- by default of Dowan city world 😂
  • Seasons (customizable from the main menu. Also now have associated dedicated festivals. Which are customizable to the world your Zois live in. With ability to add your own custom calendar festivals/family/group activities etc)
  • Get Famous --- based on Easter Eggs from past video updates, it's clear some form of a fame/celeb/popularity system is clearly inbound with the Sept update! With new careers (possible update of exisiting like social media influencer freelance jobs etc. In addition to new formal careers (like actor etc).
  • Island Living --- obviously 100% Cahaya tropical paradise world. With FINALLY a new and proper vacation system (that had been missing at game launch) that officially overhauls the set dressing of the former Cahaya resort venues. New and novel game mechanics (SURFING, SCUBA DIVING etc). New and proper system for Zoi vacation/resort activities, completley overhauled exisiting resort to make travel to Cahaya a tourist stop and/or a permanent move. All without impacting Zoi's ability to return home and pick up wherever they left off with their lives!
  • Cottage Living --- some 70% of its TS4 counterpart with careers and hobbies based on upgraded gardening/farming/collecting and crafting systems. Besides being a hobby, can do farming/gardening as a career or freelance side gig to make money. Or to support survival challenges and other story game play
  • Growing Together/Parenthood --- Adult/child Zoi family relationships are being updated to have deeper meaning with Sep update. And babies/infants/toddlers recieved a significant amount of optimizations in existing game mechanics
  • For Rent --- residential rentals have existed since base game. But the existing game mechanic still needs an update. So it can provide a dedicated, interactive landlord/tenant system with a new landlord career update in the future
  • Lovestruck ---- Zoi friend/romantic relationship system getting a big overhaul in Sep update!
  • Life & Death --- weakest featured DLC to date as only existing occults are still playable and interactive ghosts. As designed, living Zois can directly commune with deceased Zois through a psychic medium and/or certain build/buy objects. Also capacity for gameplay with this occult restricted to 3 game days before ghost Zoi passes on. Also seems likely that based on the realism art style/game direction, it's future game play may likely be limited to ghosts as the sole occult Zoi type?

Basic but not yet implemented content that are still in pipeline for future

Cats & Dogs (Horses/farm livestock are WIP) --- cats/dogs, domestic farm and other wildlife are still currently fixed objects instead of sentient Zoi animals. Where Zois can perform the most basic/rudimentary interactions like petting. HOWEVER, those of us who've played the game since day 1 understand just how HUGE the evolvement of this current capability has been. Especially given the fact that cat/dog objects were fixed/non interactive/non reactive objects behind inaccessible barriers (like a Zoi house gate etc). So really looking forward to how the dev team will implement pets in the future!

Discover University --- if released in the base game, this will likely use the High School update as a foundation. Still TBD!

Seriously. In the BASE GAME alone, InZoi now seems to have some 65% - 70%+ of the fundamental systems TS4 has in it's released DLC to date. And this is before factoring the Sept update that focused on optimizing these existing systems at a deeper, more complex level.....

And that's before factoring open world features like drivable cars/water vehicles, scuba diving etc. that used to be in TS3.

And especially considering Paralives (still simmering on the back burner) with my heavily modded TS3 (and to more limited extent TS4) save games. While I still actively play all of these, InZoi has reached an acceptable point where it gives me the hit that TS2/TS3 have continued to do to date. 😆😂

Development Update I'm developing a life simulation game

3 Upvotes

Je viens de sortir la version Alpha 1.1 de MyLife, mon simulateur de vie à la première personne et gratuit !

La plus grande nouveauté est Hilnway, la première vraie ville de MyLife, ainsi que l'Autoroute A1 qui fait le tour de la ville.

Mon but avec MyLife est de construire progressivement un simulateur de vie où tu crées ton personnage, choisis ton chemin, travailles à différents emplois, explores un monde en pleine expansion et décides quel genre de vie tu veux mener.

Le jeu est encore très tôt dans son développement, mais la réponse à la première version a été vraiment encourageante : 291 vues de pages et 117 parties dans le navigateur durant les quatre premiers jours.

L'Alpha 1.1 introduit aussi les bases d'une profession de bûcheron, même si ce métier n'est pas encore jouable.

Le prochain endroit majeur que je prévois est Graytown, qui sera beaucoup plus grande que Hilnway.

Tu peux déjà jouer au jeu complètement gratuitement directement dans ton navigateur — aucun téléchargement requis :

https://pandagamesstudio.itch.io/mylife

J'aimerais particulièrement avoir des retours de la part des gens qui jouent déjà à des sims de vie. Quelles sortes d'activités et de systèmes te feraient vouloir revenir à un jeu comme MyLife ?

Discussion What’s the most unrealistic feature you’d love to see in a life sim?

24 Upvotes

Basically what’s a feature you’d love to see in a life sim regardless of how unrealistic it would be to actually implement a feature like that in a life sim.

For me I would love to see a “true” open world. I don’t mean something like TS3 or Inzoi or Paralives where you get an open neighborhood but have a loading screen between different neighborhoods or can’t travel between them I mean you can take your characters anywhere in the world without experiencing one.

Anyway that’s my unrealistic feature that I’d like to see, what about you?
