There's plenty of games with realistic people and scenery, but they're like choose-your-own-adventure.
The house shown up there ^ has completely flat land with no grass texture, and the house style and colourings are dull. The Sims 2 and 3 have superior terrain with landscaping and textures, slopes, hills ...

- Stories and Such – Sims 3 Stories by DivinylsFan (bobbiedivsworks.com) includes a couple of Sims 2 entries and some of my music.
I remember you from university, I still have your story.Maybe, but this game is in early stages of development (only a year), not the completed Sims 2 and 3 games you know.
Interesting. Pretty.
More competition is healthy, but I feel none of the realistic life sims have anything on The Sims, no matter how beautiful they look.
For me personally, one important element seems to be missing and that is CHARM. There's nothing truly charming about these games. They're very generic. Not one of them seem FUN at all. There's lack of personality, there's nothing quirky or cheeky about them, and at the end of the day I think this will be very difficult to achieve due to their hyper realism. Ofcourse it depends on what you're looking for in a life sim, if it's "realism", this will suit a lot of players!
I pre-ordered Life By You since I'm very interested in exploring some of the more complex features that are offered in the game, but for me it's a lot easier to fall in love with a game like The Sims in terms of graphics, design, animation, quirkiness, silly features...just overall aesthetics etc.
I'm still secretly hoping for a Fantasy / Occult life-sim, or something space related. The only quality life sim that offers anything close to the things that I wish for in a life-sim is... The Sims. It's a no-brainer, really. 😁
I feel the same in a way.
I want the physical facial proportions of these characters, but I want the art style of TS4 only with a higher level mesh and texture resolution.
What they were calling Stylized Realism, when TS4 was first introduced, but for TS4, I wanted the realism bumped up a notch. Inzoi takes it a little too far.
In the first few years of TS4, I tried to get there with CC, but I gave up on alpha content and custom skins because I felt like was fighting the art style. So I went back to clay hair and default skins. Clay hair has improved a great deal since the early days.
I refuse to give up my realistic eyelashes and eyebrows however
I get what you're saying as I love occults (with a mixture of realistic gameplay) and the quirkiness of The Sims as well. In my opinion, inZOI might be the best life simulation out there when it comes to realism. I don't care for the other competition, such as Paralives, Life by You, Vivaland, etc., since they didn't grabbed my attention like inZOI did. I'm gonna pre-order inZOI or buy it once it gets released, but I'm still gonna play The Sims though. 🥰
In the inZOI trailer, I heard some type of strange language spoken by the characters, but I'm not sure if it's Korean or made-up. 🤷♀️
But yeah, I agree that inZOI's graphics are very beautiful and weather is included in the base game. 🥰

Yeah...out of all of the base games, inZOI has the best one. Heck, we don't even know what's going to be in Project Rene/The Sims 5's base game except for what, apartments maybe? 🫠
Same! It’s eyelashes, eyebrows, sometimes lips and eye-bags for me. I got rid of most other CC, except maybe the occasional skin tone here and there.
I never used alpha hair in Sims 4, and I stopped downloading the maxis match versions too. Slowly going back to vanilla feels pretty good. There’s been a significant improvement in hair styles and texture quality lately. It’s so much better compared to what it was at the start.
It’s been confirmed that Project Rene base game comes with a basic weather system. More extreme weather will be added via Expansion packs.
I think TS4 and inZOI both comes with advantages and disadvantages when it comes to their art style. TS4 is great for making expressive people with almost cartoony features but because of the art style and EA's choices we get less details.
inZOI will probably be great at making detailed people that you would see in a commercial, it looks more realistic, just look at her glasses, I have wanted glasses like that in the sims4 since forever and even if we have some that maybe look a bit similar they are nowhere as detailed as the glasses we see here. Look at the details of her hair and how the light reflects on it. And look at her shirt, modern games are so good when it comes to making clothes look like clothes with real fabric. EA/Maxis tries to make clothes look like they are made of different fabric but it's difficult to make it look good with that art style.
But inZOI will probably struggle to make more expressive people that we can make in the sims4.

Yeah I am sorry but why can't people leave The Sims out of these unrelated life simulation games? I will never be able to play LBY, Paralives etc in means to completely replace the iconic charming game that is The Sims, and this is The Sims forums and yet I see people trashing on The Sims here, really upsetting. Sims will always be the one and only Sims for me, these games lack the exact energy that Maxis created in the first place, and while they can become good or even great games on their own for their own reasons, nothing can and never will replace The Sims for me.
The game inZOI is a double meaning. It's pronounced "enjoy" ("z" makes a "j" sound) and in-ZOI, like the ZOI people are inside.
wow, lots of things to unpack there, but here is what stood out to me, and made me even more interested in this game.
Sounds like a more developed life simulation game to me, I hope this game will be good.
Because there life simulation games there going to be compared and they deserved comparison.My advice is ignore thr threads that criticism it. I also don't see these as Sims replacements.I see them as Sims friendly competitores.
The sims are not immune to criticism.
Correction the cat is more of tutorial mascot not a pet.
That is right, but the game also allows you to have pets
Okay, that's actually pretty dope. The more I learn about inZOI, my excitement increases. 😍
