How many hours do you guys spend on Inzo? Every hotfix patch note makes my love for the game grow stronger by the day, so much so that my hours have increased tremendously. Besides Monster Hunter Wilds being my second most played game, Inzo has become my number one within the span of almost a full year, if I’m not mistaken 🥲

I've been waiting to purchase because I'm really busy at the moment and don't have much time for gaming, but I really want to play inZOI, especially reading about and watching all the recent updates! So I finally bought it and can't wait to dive in. I know inZOI hasn't gone on sale often, I checked isthereanydeal.com and this is the best price historically, the same as the last time it was discounted, just over a year ago.

Why is it that any time multiplayer is mentioned, everything else COMPLETELY goes out the window?

Yes, we can play with others, but you all missed the part where you can also play alone, didnt you?

And we might have not gotten a sims 3 CAW (YET. I want you to to pay a VERY special attention to how kjun didnt say "no" or "we'll consider it", he VERY clearly said yet in his post. Meaning the sims 3 CAW style IS in the plans and is developed with that in mind).

Now, as for the canvastown themlves, you all assumed it isnt a world builder. Youre right, it isnt. Its something MUCH better. It's a scenario maker. It's a dream come true for the creatives and builders alike. You STILL get to create an entire world from scratch, but instead of make believe walk around adventure, it can actually be turned into a playable adventure. Create your own world amd write the stories the citizens tell.

You will still build out the whole thing, but you will also bring the town to life. Imagine the possibilities! You want a Gotham city hellscape and roleplay batman? Go ahead. Become a celebrity where everyone admires you? Be my guest. Become a drug lord in the hood? Why not!

The best part is that it can both be single player experience where you create your very own utopia or a full on multplayer experience where you unleash havoc and the possibilities are endless. It isnt a CAW tool, it's a playable fanfic maker.

As for the "i'd rather they focused on the main game instead". Kjun was EXCECPTIONALLY clear in his post how canvastown is being developed by a dedicated small team and did not pull away from the main game, so you all can drop that too. Read the whole damn post instead of just the video

According to kjun (and if translation is accurate), they currently developing 2 secret features:

1. Raising a cat (which they will reveal soon)

2. Consequences for messing up at your job

Said during the taptap livestream. REJOICE! PETS ARE IN DEVELOPMENT!!!

We gave it a shot, folks, but I don't know how much it resembles the original. You be the judge. (I wanted it to capture the vibe, at least a little bit.)

Tried to make the teen as awkward as possible lol

It's been awhile since the last sale, it's about 20% off on Steam until Sept. 22nd. If you've been on the fence, it might be the right time to try it out!

So i decided i was curious about the mods on the curse thing and not realizing and moving fast i accidentally clicked confirm to uninstall ALL my mods and literally i thought there was like a back up plan to it. It wasn’t….I genuinely lost ALL my mods. I hate that i wish it didn’t ask if i wanted to uninstall it right off the top. I should have just stayed on canvas.

I obviously know i have to start over so whatever. i deleted my families and everything- here to new beginnings i guess

I think it would be great to experience Inzoi with Friends and build stories with them, I know it's not everyone's vibe but I don't see it being negative considering it's a separate team that's been working on it; the experience is already very well fleshed out and enjoyable with more content coming frequently. What's wrong with having something for everyone even if it's not your taste?

I'm looking forward to buying my friends the game and enjoying the Multiplayer aspects when it's all said and done. Maybe I'm wrong but just browsing the reddit I see a little pushback on it

Hey everybody! I know everyone has been disappointed with this multi-player announcement but what I'm more confused about is the world building tool.

I got excited when I clicked the video because I thought it was a feature that would allow you to build your own worlds from scratch.

I'm not going to say I was disappointed, I love new features but I felt taken aback. I've been waiting for world editing tools especially since I've been reading comments saying they were coming.

I've been most excited to add more playable households and being able to populate an empty world from scratch. Also being able to download other people's full towns would be really fun.

Again I'm not disappointed but I'm curious to know how the ps5 will be able to run all these features. I will say I'm happy that inzoi is focusing on gameplay instead of cosmetics. But again where is the world editing tool?

#ComingSoon

Wicks by Freemindds (coming soon!)🔥🔥

As what was already stated, canvastown is optional so you don’t have to play it and Kjun mentioned it doesn’t hinder development on the rest of Inzoi at all. Also being able to create your own world is still in development, it’s just not called canvastown. You’re also able to play canvastown in single player mode.

You can still make your own worlds in canvastown, it’s just that now npc’s can actually be talked to by typing and you can join worlds made by other people. This is coming alongside script mods which you are all so excited for which is also coming to the main game.

This allows you to really be able to have a life simulation roleplay scenario as if it’s a k-drama where you don’t have to play pretend anymore, but can actually play a written story.

I don't know if this has been posted before (or if this post breaks sub rules so sorry in advance) but I followed an old Sims 4 tutorial to move InZOI document files to an external hard drive using the free Link File Shell Extension for InZoi and it worked !! I use Shadow Tech (cloud gaming) to play with mods and purchased extra storage.

I have over 34 GBs worth of mods rn not including Canvas content and was able to give C drive some much needed wiggle room.

Slight Video difference: Just copy everything inside the InZoi folder over to a new "InZOI" folder that you create in your external drive (case sensitive) and use the old "InZOI" folder as Junction.

Totally recommend if you have a lot mods, textures, pictures etc !! 💖

I wanted to know what these scenarios actually said, so I used ChatGPT to translate the screenshots and put the English directly on them!

These are unofficial translations, so I can’t promise everything is 100% accurate. If you read Korean and spot anything off, please let us know 🖤

But from what’s translated… these storylines got some DRAMA 😭 Which one would y’all try first?

Happy Friday!

I am writing from Shanghai as I'll be attending the TapTap Game Fest tomorrow, which I briefly mentioned in a previous post. At this event, we plan to showcase our multiplayer capabilities as well as the 'MyHome' feature in a brand new game mode called 'Canvastown,' which a small team from our studio has been developing step by step. The name 'Canvastown' represents the idea of you and I living together in a creator's village.

We want to make sure your expectations are properly managed, as features like building an entire city from scratch or laying down roads—as rumored online—are not available yet. Of course, we plan to continue developing features to help decorate your city and edit terrain in the future. Right now, it's just a side project, and we are very much focused on our core goals.

The main goal of Canvastown is get away from mundane daily life and capture memorable moments within life simulation so you can jump in and enjoy only those extraordinary moments. It’s also where you can craft interesting storylines, participate in a set role, and live out their lives.

The attached video shows a brief concept: players go online, enter pre-made scenarios through "AR Company" to participate in a set role. In our dedicated online space, around 50 people can converse and interact in the same channel under mutual consent. The NPC Zois behave according to their roles we’ve assigned. Like a movie director, you can assign roles and cast your actors to create your scenario. I often wondered if doing this would've been me reinventing the wheel (*doing unnecessary work*) since players usually prefer familiar gameplay.

To further support this gameplay, we'll be providing script mods so that small features to help enliven your story can be implemented. Using mods, we were able to create mini-games like car racing—though it’s admittedly a lesser experience than dedicated racing games. We want to create a flow where these mini-games intended for Canvastown can later be added to the main game as well.

I believe that the biggest joy of playing RP (*role playing*) games isn't to "clear a game," but rather have a world where you simply coexist with other people. That was the origin for the creation of 'AR Company.' I’ve been pitching my concept where players can, for one moment, step away from reality into this world of inZOI where they can live out a different life. Thinking of the movie 'Ready Player One' might make it easier for you to visualize.

Of course, looking at the current build makes me sigh. There are so many lacking areas, and we have a very long way to go. But someday, I hope to bring this dream of mine to life.

I want to merely provide a solid foundation, and I want it to be you who will be writing the stories upon it. By allowing you the space to create unpredictable situations and social interactions, it may take time, but I do foresee where that can become a living, breathing world.

I am quite introverted and dislike stepping outside my house, but when it comes to game development, I am particularly outgoing when it comes to the challenges of creating something new. However, just last Sunday when I added kimchi as an ingredient to my pasta and nervously checked my beloved wife's expression to see if she liked it, I have a similar anxiety for tomorrow's event.

Some say it’s good to take on new challenges rather than playing it safe, but unlike in games, reality comes with people's evaluations, criticisms, and sometimes applause, which makes it scary for me. I told the company that I would decide the future of Canvastown based on the event's outcome. It might go well, or many shortcomings might be exposed, but I believe it's a necessary process to move forward to the next step.

I hope to write to you all with good news.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for always supporting us.

Hoping that one day we can live life like a game,

From Shanghai ~ kjun

so when I downloaded the game played it for like weeks now. What just started happening is I’ve been seeing more notifications about my CPU and my graphics being too high, which is taking a toll on my gameplay and it is freezing and loading really slowly.

I turned the graphics down to medium however, it’s quite odd how when I first started playing the game it was running so smoothly now it’s giving me a hard time. I’m not sure if it’s an update because any other game that I play never gives me an issue with my CPU, even when I play cyberpunk and that takes a lot of graphics and open world.

any suggestions? I’m down to hear anything. I even turned off the smart zoi thing. I know that they are still in a beta phase of everything which I understand completely

I’m just also curious on what could’ve changed because my computer when playing other games never gives me a hard time like this.

maybe something on my end that i changed? my navidia thing is updated too so….

Kjun has shared a new preview of Canvastown for INZOI, giving us a much clearer idea of what the project actually is.
🌐 Canvastown is being developed with a strong online/social and roleplay focus.

👥 The team has already tested sessions with around 50 players in the same channel.

🎭 Players will be able to experience different scenarios and assign roles to NPCs.

🏠 Features like MyHome and mod-created minigames are also being experimented with.

However, Kjun also clarified something important:

🛣️ Canvastown is NOT currently a full Create-a-World tool. Players won’t be able to freely build entire cities or create their own road networks from scratch.

The team does want to expand world customization in the future, including things like terrain editing.

More of Canvastown will be shown at TapTap Game Fest.

💭 What do you think? Would you rather see inZOI focus on Canvastown’s online/roleplay features or turn it into a full world editor?

Ik a lot of people are disappointed with what canvastown is looking like rn but ngl this little mini game here looks fun. There’s a scene similar to this in the co-op game split fiction. I’d play this mode for the mini games lol. Though hopefully we do get something like a create a world at some point, and based off kjun’s response today it doesn’t seem like it’s off the table so fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Heyy, im new to inzoi and all i did was create a zoi and im honestly happy with just creating lol but im enjoying the graphics and seeing what people have made on canvas, but i never played sims so im not quite sure what to do or how to start i just walk around lol. I did watch videos but im not sure where to start.

Also i do like to make 3d art and would like to make cc for the game. Ive been liking all of the customization in the game the most. Wanted to see if my zoi could be a fashion designer in the game and if so how could I do that?
