This looks a bit more promising. Although, I hope there is more reason why the evil person gets gifts. I'm just not sure how anything relates to traits at all. I don't think it matters much. You just do "evil" interactions to unlock more evil ones.

In TS3, an evil person would get along with other evil ones, depending on what their other traits are and what interactions there were.

If you notice when the city statistics (karma report) is shown, you can see that the zois in the city are turning nasty with bad reputations. So maybe they are sending her gifts because she is their hero (the most evil one amongst a city of evil zois). So a fair consequence of having such a horrible city- nasty environments make for nasty zois!

Yeah, I'm still not sure I understand how this karma stuff works, especially on the world level. If she had kept the city karma more positive, that wouldn't happen?

I'll watch the video. It won't likely change my mind on getting it though. There's no depth in TS4. And it looks cartoony graphically. Some people prefer that and that's ok. But I can ignore some depth for some pretty graphics that I thought TS4 would have. Again personal preference. Anything will be better than than TS4. TS4 was a step backward.

I think this will be a new thing amongst machinima fans when Inzoi is released!

Another gameplay video:


I have no idea how they did this:

@SneakyWingPhoenix That is very cool! They showed interaction between child and toddler too, I don't think I saw that yet. It looks so good, I hope they can make the family gameplay good enough to warrant the magnitude of the worlds.

(To post video player embedded you use the [youtube] [ /youtube] tags and put the video ID only inbetween).

Something doesn't look right with Toddlers. I think they look creepy.

The second one is not all that disquieting but the first one certainly is.

- The bright eyes. As soon as you use them in a Sim, you have a problem. It takes a lot of work to make the face around them seem normal.
- The slight smile is even more disturbing: "I know where the knife is!"

When drawing babies/toddlers, big foreheads and smaller faces are important, but they can't be TOO small. I think that's what's wrong.

They are reminiscent of these:







From what I've seen there doesn't seem to be a lot to do with babies and toddlers yet in the game, I hope they continue to improve this because having these ages from basegame is good!

That's a great comparison. Maybe they should try studying real toddlers for a change.

Babies that I know don't look like inzoi toddlers for sure. Do you think the inzoi model proportions better match this picture? This is obviously a shutterstock picture which may have been cherry-picked to match a cultural ideal.

The system requirements for this game are from the future. Is it multiplayer only? I see that an Internet connection is among the requirements.

It's believed it needs an internet connection because the game uses generative AI. People have been debating if it's a local generative AI or the usual generative AI, but the internet connection thing definitely kinda seems like the usual generative AI.

The specs aren't too far our there imo. Pretty typical of modern games these days.

I just read this:

Dunno if that means anything, I have no idea about AI!

Interesting. I had been speculating with someone on reddit that the only ethical way to use generative AI would be to use their own data and assets to feed it. In turn, this would make the AI less accurate than the ones you'd typically use on the web (because they used a bunch of stolen data to feed their systems, making them more accurate)

It's nice to hear that it seems Krafton is using their generative AI system ethically even if it makes the output less usable. Potentially with players permission ,they could feed the AI instead and eventually make it more accurate (though that can still lead to issues because people will definitely just steal from the internet to upload to their system, but at least it's not widely scraping the web)

I am glad they have made this explicit. I know this will be helpful to a great many people but honestly, I think there's a section of gamers who read the term AI and a red mist descends and logic leaves the building.

AI stuff aside, Krafton is still hiding behind their "We don't know how this game is being monetized" wall.

Another reason for requiring a internet connection would be so people can waste their money on micro transactions. Until they prove otherwise, there is no reason to think this won't happen as every game Krafton has published thus so far is a haven for micro transactions.

I'm not convinced they haven't seen these conversations all over the place and yet they continue to play like they're "deaf". If they didn't have anything 'to hide' this should have been addressed a long time ago.

Dazzle the masses with BS; they won't suspect a thing. Long time sims players already know how this works. EA uses the same play book.
