I was so ready to jump EA sims for Life by You, especially since the last expansion so can't wait for InZoi.

[SkyandThreadGaming]

Every update about InZoi gets me more excited. I'm really looking forward to trying this and seeing what the mod community does with it.

I'm so glad my 5-year-old PC will still be able to handle the game! In theory at least, let's see how it'll turn out. Thankfully, the requirements are not as high as I expected.

I was expecting a beefier requirement for the PC so I'm glad with the specs they came out with. I love the visuals. I'm not too worried about the gameplay because I've watched streams of it nearly a year .

Driving can be automatic. So if you hate driving, you don't need to. Also I believe you can change the danger setting so you might not get into accidents.

My worry is still monetarization. I have a love/ hate for Sims DLcs. They add up but we can choose which one to get. However with each iteration I feel we get less features.

The game looks very polished already, I was sad that life by you was cancelled but this game looks better! The game looks beautifully made.

[mygetawayart]

it's an Unreal Engine high fidelity game, i expected as much.

[SBSlim]

Bout to drop sims like a hot skillet lol 😂 I wasn’t worried about the specs as I upgraded my rig this past year.

[raspberrycharlotte]

I can't wait to see mods in this game! 🙊

[katiekana]

I've been waiting for a game like this to come out. I've been following it for a while and am super hyped for it. This and paralives are what I'm most excited for

[showyoursims]

This is the one I've been looking forward to! The specs are realistic and pretty much what I expected, they leave room for boosting. I was already planning on getting a new PC sometime in the next few months, so I'm psyched I'll be able to play it. I heard that this was a passion project of the creator, which makes me optimistic for the gameplay, because it seems that those always turn out to be the best games. Love how different it is from The Sims, so it won't feel as much like playing a "knock-off". Fingers crossed that it's good (and isn't buggy!)

Just like LBY, not for my laptop (but also... I have a laptop so it makes sense). I expected worse for the specs to be honest (especially considering that the people advertising it were offered a computer to run the game). I like the graphics. People feel it's a bit uncanny valley but to me it's fine if it fits the environment correctly. It might feel a bit weird at first but even if it's super realistic, one thing I'll say is the game is pretty. I really like the updates on the game even if I'm not going to be able to play it, thanks for the video!

The system requirements may be shocking, but it's nothing special given similar Windows games released in past few years having higher requirements mainly due to games being designed for PS5 and Xbox Series which also affects Windows games' system requirements. Admittedly, the GPU requirement _is_ higher than other games like Starfield, Cyberpunk 2077, and Hogwarts Legacy. However, inZOI uses Unreal Engine 5 which may contribute to high system requirements.

Many games since late 2013/2014 has always been 64-bit only. There are a few exceptions like The Sims 4 (initially, now 64-bit only), Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Black Mesa, and RPG Maker MV (although RPG Maker MZ would be 64-bit only) which are 32-bit.

It's to note Krafton hasn't released any games on Mac considering PUBG isn't released on macOS although it has been released on iOS as PUBG Mobile, so it wouldn't be surprising if inZOI in Windows only. The page also doesn't mention Linux or Steam Deck which would be assumed the game would be optimized for Windows PCs rather than Linux or the Steam Deck handheld.

Damn, I have the recommended specs but sheesh these are very high. I don't think they'll bring in too many sims players because not everyone can afford a pc powerful enough to run this game.

[weeaboobaby]

The team confirmed the fair at the pier in Blissbay will be 100% functional afaik!

[chihuahuasrule]

That wedding scene is GORGEOUS! Can't believe InZoi is coming soon. I need to check my specs.

[nebularcore]

I'm so excited! I've never followed a game like this before and paid so much attention to it before it was released. This is exhilarating, lol.

The personality system they use is the Enneagram. You can look this up, it's really interesting. It's a system that categorizes people into 9 types. The types at the bottom are 4 (on the right side) and 5 (on the left side), 9 is at the top with 1 on the right side and 8 on the left side. The other numbers are in a row between these.
The mediator and the dreamer are both Enneagram 9, but the mediator has an 8 wing and the dreamer has a 1 wing. The leader and the authoritarian are both Enneagram 8 but the first one has a 9 wing and the second one a 7 wing and so on. That's why there are always two of the same kind.
It's fascinating for me that they made this choice! I find the Enneagram very interesting, what's the reason why I immediately recognized it (I'm a 9w1, a dreamer). I think it's a really cool and new way to create personalities for a game.

[rishadsarkari]

This game looks so so so beautiful. Super excited. Haven’t played my sims4 game for months but I’m excited to explore Inzoi

[LucasSchimmel]

I was not waiting for this game, but I saw that the recommended graphics card is a goddamn RTX 3070 or RX 6800 XT is insane, and the cpu is a 12th gen i7 / AMD 7 5800. Can we all appreciate how batshit insane this is? That's something you see in top of the line AAA games with raytracing and what not. Is it really cooking that much, or just awfully optimised?

[westanimesims]

60 to 75 GB of storage is wild, thought I am not surprised it will take a high end graphics and quite a lot of RAM.

I added it to my wish list. So I am looking forward to see how it turns out.
