This very blatantly looks ai, yet EA did not disclose the AI use on steam. Neither with the wallpaper and neither with the new search feature in the gallery
There's also the fact that EA said 60% of their workload is affected by AI, but im guessing you arent ready for that conversation

Only on android. App store is still $7.99 now free on app store too
Everything.
If they arent taking donations, shouldn't it be going down?
Just to preface, I have both. I've played guardians of azuma before but never got around to finishing it, so im thinking of starting a new save. Of course, I also recently got RF 4 on the summer sale and now cant decide which one I want to do first
Edit: I never got around to finishing GoA not because I didnt like it (quite the contrary), but because I just didnt feel like gaming whatsover and lost the drive
Thank you once again for taking the time to share so much feedback with us. We have carefully read through all of your comments, and while organizing this round of feedback, it gave us another opportunity to reflect on what the community is truly hoping to see from inZOI and where we should focus our efforts moving forward.
This week, many players responded positively to the new features that have been added to the game, including schools, businesses, vehicles, family systems, shopping, relationships, and various life simulation activities. We are grateful to see that these additions are being noticed and appreciated.
At the same time, one message appeared repeatedly throughout the feedback:
"It is no longer about how many features exist, but about how those features connect with each other."
For example, if schools exist in the game, they should be more than just places where Zois attend classes. School life should influence grades, friendships, personality development, future career opportunities, and family relationships.
Businesses should be more than a way to earn money. They should connect with customers, employees, economic activity, daily routines, and lifestyles.
Vehicles should not simply function as transportation. They should influence schedules, commuting patterns, lifestyle choices, and everyday decisions.
Ultimately, what many of you are asking for is not a game with many separate systems, but a simulation where every system affects every other system and creates experiences that feel closer to real life.🫡
As we think about the future of development, our focus is shifting from simply asking "What should we add next?" to asking "How can we make the systems we already have interact more naturally?"
One example of this direction is our upcoming improvements to the cooking and meal systems. Ingredients obtained through farming and fishing will be usable in recipes. Leaving food unattended in the oven may cause fires. We want more situations where different systems naturally interact with one another and create meaningful consequences. By strengthening these connections, we hope to create a world that feels more immersive and believable.
We also saw a great deal of excitement surrounding mod support. Many players pointed out that modding communities can greatly extend the lifespan of a game, and we completely agree.
However, we also noticed a concern that appeared frequently in your feedback.
Mods should expand the game, not complete it.
We share this view.
Core gameplay systems, simulation depth, stability, and natural interactions are areas that should be the responsibility of the official game. Mods should serve as a platform for creativity and expansion, not as a requirement to fix or complete missing fundamentals.
Stability remains another major priority for us.
Recent feedback included reports of crashes, regressions, UI issues, unexpected behavior, and bugs affecting various features. While adding new content is important, we fully understand that a stable and reliable experience is the foundation of everything else.
Regression bugs, in particular, can significantly impact the player experience after updates, and we are treating them with a high level of urgency. Alongside new feature development, we will continue dedicating resources to stability improvements, bug fixing, and overall quality enhancements.<:Doodle_Psycat_Walk:1357610754378956915>
One of the most frequently discussed topics in this round of feedback was the depth of the Zois themselves.
Many comments discussed schools, hospitals, businesses, families, and other systems, but underneath those discussions we saw a common desire:
"We want Zois to feel more human."
Players want Zois who react differently based on their personalities, experience different emotions depending on their relationships, remember important moments from their past, make decisions based on context, distinguish between family and friends, and experience conflict, growth, and reconciliation.
The more these elements are strengthened, the closer the game moves toward becoming a living simulation rather than simply a collection of features.
We have already begun moving in this direction through systems such as newborn development, personality evolution, and the acquisition of traits through life experiences and consequences. Going forward, we plan to expand personality diversity, lifestyle archetypes, contextual behaviors, and reactions to surrounding situations. We want relationships to feel more meaningful and immersive, and we will continue improving how Zois understand and respond to the world around them.
Our current priorities remain clear.
First, we will continue addressing crashes, stability issues, performance improvements, and major bugs.
Second, we will deepen the core simulation systems, including personality, relationships, emotions, memories, and autonomous behavior.
After that, we will continue expanding the world and introducing new content in a more sustainable way.
Modding and UGC will also remain important long-term pillars of the project, but we believe they should grow on top of a strong and complete foundation.
The feedback you provide is much more than a list of feature requests. It helps us understand the direction in which the game should evolve.
We still have many areas where we can improve, and there will be times when we cannot solve every problem as quickly as we would like. However, one thing is certain: we continue to learn from your feedback every day, and our goal is not simply to add more features, but to create a simulation that is more stable, more natural, and more deeply connected.
Thank you, as always, for your honesty, your support, and your passion for inZOI. We will continue listening, improving, and doing our best to show those improvements inside the game itself.
And finally...☺️
This may technically be another new feature, but hopefully you'll forgive us for that.
We've implemented family photos!
As a small celebration, we'd like to share one with you. Maybe one day we'll all gather together and take one giant inZOI family photo.
Wouldn't that be something? 😄

If you havent played it, I highly suggest you do.
You're basically tasked with running a bathhouse for the spirits.
The game itself revolves around running the bathhouse, completing collections, solving puzzles and befriending the townsfolk.
The art grows on you, the town is incredibly charming and the writing itself is quite entertaining.
They recently made their final content update back in december, so the game is complete and there wont be more updates (unless there are bugs. Though, Goodluck finding one cause I havent seen any in my 30 hours of gameplay).
Anyways, if you want the game with the charm of a farming sim but are burned out on farming sims, this is the game for you
You can get this little gem and run a hot springs resort for a measly $2. Called hot springs story 2 and all of their games are fun. I think I already dropped like 15 hours and im about halfway through unlocking everything
To preface, I have RA. Had to quit college when it first started cause I simply couldn't keep up.
​
It's been years since then. Im currently on disability and am going back to college in September (with a reduced course load) after getting accepted into a program of my choice, but.... I'm not confident i'll be able to keep up simply due to the fatigue.
​
It isnt even about the pain, im used to it (have fibromyalgia, ibs, and probably endometriosis on top), but the fatigue is crippling me. I also started new monthly medication and have been in bed since the 4th cause the fatigue is a lot worse. It's a side effect of it ig.
​
The program itself is relatively easy too. It's an art program and im already an artist, so it shouldn't be too hard. However, I am worried I wont be able to keep up just because of the fatigue and the thought of it is exhausting
Nuh, seriously, what the fuck is this
I want to preface that youre entitled to your opinion. You dont like a certain feature, fine. You dont like the way it looks, I disagree but you do you, whatever. This isn't what the post is about.
What i am specifically referring to is the net wide inzoi hate. EVERY. SINGLE.TIME. somebody is playing inzoi for their own enjoyment, somebody without fail will come on and call them a horrible human being or whatever for playing it and "how dare they play a game i hate".
Nobody is forcing you to like inzoi, but it also doesnt give you the right to leave hate comments under every inzoi post.
A semi recent occurrence I can think of is the bonnet simmer. She was playing inzoi having fun, and people came in her comments and started attacking her for playing it, so obviously she clapped back cause what the hell?
But the most atrocious example is from the other day in Kelly kpopp's *livestream*. She was streaming inzoi having fun, and somebody kept pestering her calling inzoi horrible every 5 seconds, telling her to stop streaming, why are you streaming it, ect. If you hate inzoi that much, why are you even watching inzoi content then? 😭
Anyways, she called them out for it and rightfully called them weird.
Plus all the trolls making alt accounts to leave hate comments under every inzoi inzoi post on the inzoi subreddit, or the bots (?) Spreading lies just to dissuade players from playing it, but that's another topic
He's literally going to sleep at 4pm on a wednesday while his wife is taking care of their 2 infants 😭
Especially since they're planning band performance sometime this year (it's on the roadmap)
New upcoming marketplace sims drops vs the inzoi heels released back in april. They're panicking 😭
Edit: these upcoming free kits are EA made, not creator kits btw
