Pretend to care is right! Sims has been one of their biggest games for profit for decades now, but they just ignore it and focus on everything else. This competition with inZoi is good! They're learning the hard way that if you don't want to listen to your own loyal consumers, someone else will do it for you and they're realising how much they're going to miss out on in profits when inzoi is released 😂 And I can't blame them, it looks PHENOMENAL 😅 I haven't been this excited for a life sim in years!
they literally are just pretending too. They did it with NCAA25. They make positive changes temporarily to rope people in and once they got your money/trust they pull a bait and switch and go right back to putting out terrible products.
Exactly. I joined the sims community from sims 4 and when first playing I was so surprised by how many ideas I had just for them to be locked behind expansions.
@@That-X-Factorthe main difference being, for now at least, you don't have to pay to play test it, whereas EA asks you give them 30 to 40 euros each time to have the honor to join the new pack's beta test.
@@Nervous101 lol im confused i had that originally but then to call it mediocre is too kind. Its an overstatement. What they've delivered is below the bare minimum. Its an insult to customers. Its literally a car with missing parts.
@saltycat662 For real though it feels like Sims 4 has more community management positions than programmers or animators. Also I’m pretty sure those programmers and animators are unpaid interns that have to do the coding in between fetching coffee for the community managers.
@@HunterCooksey The Sims 4 don’t need a discord now. It needs to just discontinue as a whole. They are like 9 years past the idea that making major changes now since they have competitors is going to make us happy. The game is still going to be lousy no matter how much feedback they get or have gotten. They don’t give a damn about any us. It’s all about money. 💰
@heppelhopv2 I think their point is that it's too late to ask for playtesters because they've neglected the game and to get player feedback in an organized way. now all they really need to do is have an intern sit down and scroll through social media for a week, compiling all the complaints
Paralives so looks like everything I wanted after Sims 2. Sims 3 is a good game, there are just ways it wasn’t for me and I always liked Sims 2 better. I’ve basically modded Sims 4 into as much of a Sims 2 sequel as I could manage 😂😂
It’s like breaking off a toxic relationship then you see someone begging to treat you right and give you everything you deserve and ever wanted but of course by then, the ex is begging for another chance, that’s just my opinion 😂😂 I’m tired
Right? If I call someone out for being toxic and then they straighten up without apologizing, all I see is proof the person knows how to behave, they just chose not to be respectful. And I block them and walk away, because that kind of person is always trying to see what they can get away with, not build friendships and community trust.
EA is so cool with inclusivity that they included slavery now into its cashgrabby system 😍 Amazing. I swear to God I can't wait Inzoi to come out, I will buy it right way.
@@myalex. I agree! They are panicking now. So, now, they want to play like they are going to fix things and improve the game experience when we have given them years to do right and yet no feedback or changes. The Sims 4 is like having a horrible spouse that wants to stay married but doesn’t make the effort to make you fall in love again. Inzoi will gladly get my hand in my second marriage. 😆
EA has every reason to be freaking out because now they have a competitor that are actually listening to the audience that they have had in their pocket for over a decade. We are getting everything that The Sims have been lacking for years. I will never stop playing The Sims, but I will come back to it maybe in another lifetime when InZoi comes out. 😆
@@audreytwoThat’s completely true actually and I didn’t even think about it that way. I love the idea of the sims 4, just not the game itself because of all the mods I usually download.
the only thing that is still holding sims (at least the older ones) over other life sims for me personally is the fact the sims is known to be whimsical and humorous, alongside being a life simulator and ive yet to see another life sim being willing to fill that niche for me. you can get the sense that youre playing in a world both different and alike your own and i do hope one of them can capture some of the humor that keeps us coming back! i do enjoy the aliens and being able to collect space rocks or having to fight off a vampire while still living in a suburban blue house you know.
thank you, the sims always felt very…. almost satirical, for me? like it was a parody of real life, making fun of the absurdity and randomness while simultaneously highlighting the mundane routine of what life really is.
I read a comment on someone else’s Inzoi video with a lot of upvotes that they were so excited and happy for Inzoi because they were tired of the goofyness that The Sims had; they mentioned the gnomes, llamas, and aliens, and they were tired of these ridiculous concepts in the sims and are glad Inzoi doesnt have dumb stuff like that. I cant say I agree with this commentator but it opened my eyes that there were sims players who actually hated the whimsy lol
Yeah ngl it's the vampires that keep me, as someone who loves vampires and likes keeping my vampire OCs in my simulators. If inzoi did this, they have my vote.
@@cloudfan1010102 always fair, my gripe is that ALL of them seem to fill that niche and none the other. a blend is welcomed but alas i do enjoy playing with occults and the like and i do hope to see at least one of them try something of the sorts!
@@cloudfan1010102Don't forget witches and fairies, they can miss me with that. I'm glad most of the time it's DLC content but the alien abduction used to grind my gears.
I installed the inzoi demo after watching your first review of it, and genuinely, it is SO good. The opening screen already made me insanely excited, and the graphics are just INSANE. I'm genuinely sooo excited for the full game to come out, and I don't think I'll be going back to the sims after it releases.
I'm excited too. The only thing that would bring me back to play Sims would likely be the humor and absurdity of it. It's not a true life simulation, and it's fun to see a sim die of embarrassment, a vampire wandering into my house, those annoying gnomes, etc. EA should lean into that side of the Sims harder instead of trying to compete directly with Inzoi.
@@hoseoksrealwife I agree! I am planning on deleting anything that has to do with The Sims from my gaming laptop once Inzoi arrives. I’m over The Sims and so thankful that there is a competitor who values the customer as much as the gaming experience.
Whenever I see the Sims in comparison to Inzoi now I always get reminded that I really didn't like that the Sims 4 looked so cartoony. I grew up with Sims 3 and loved the more realistic look (at that time) and I stopped playing the Sims 4 after a few packs because it's just shallow and boring. I feel like the awesome mods still keep the game alive. I also really loved the open world in Sims 3 which was a huge downgrade for me in Sims 4. So Inzoi could be the Sims 3 upgrade that I needed. The Inzoi character creator has some flaws but it's still in development and it's just so much fun to play around with. I'm really exited for it but I'm also really hyped for Paralives I think the developers really poured their heart and soul into it.
They chose the stylized cartoony look because its timeless. They knew the game would be out for decades so they needed an art syle that would be able to keep up with modern games years later. Stylized is the perfect art style for that. I mean, just look at how gorgeous the worlds in Sims 4 still look even today, after so many years.
@@Oozaru85 I understand what you mean but another problem is that the clothing in the sims looks super outdated anyway. They had some mod creators do the clothing in newer packs which was great but Inzoi in comparison is just more modern and stylish without the use of mods. And the fact that Inzoi is around the corner just shows that the look of the Sims 4 will eventually be outdated.
TS3 graphics literally burn my eyes. It's uncanny, it's too bright. It's just doesn't feel right. But TS4 graphics is just better. At least for me. Because of the style. The colors are nice, and the lighting is nice. The only problem for me is texture quality. Sometimes, it feels blurry. But I really like that stylized look. It just needs some upgrades with new technologies
The fact that the 2 commenters above are signing praise of TA4’s ugly ass design is so crazy. Stockholm Syndrome anyone?? Like you cannot tell me that the hideous cartoony look of TS4 ever looked good. But I guess for every terribly ugly game there will always be players overlooking its flaws, as they are ok with stagnant mediocrity 😭💀
EA wanting playtesters is funny. They should've done that with the disaster that was Sims 4. I bought it full price, got bored pretty quickly with the bare features, and now that it's free and the fact that spending money on it didn't even result in freebies during the transition to F2P felt like I was incredibly short-changed with my Sims 4 purchase. And now I will assume they will try to win back goodwill by posturing to care about customer feedback. Too late EA. Have a nice funeral as you bury The Sims next to Simcity.
NOT only sims3 was better but also sims 4 has been so glitchy I stopped playing and switched to Animal crossing and Dreamlight valley. I guess sims will be history if EA doesnt take action now!
We often gave them loads of feedback 2:14 they always ignore it all the time. You get drained about it after not being heard. Then they want to turn around and blame the CC's creators for major issues. Nope I pass on The Sims 5.
honestly hope inzoi is what kicks ea into gear as i am nervous about inzoi due to the companies less than colourful history with micro transactions and not being super player supportive
@@LeFuilI think its too early to say InZoi has a better base game because honestly in a lot of ways it doesn’t. Like the dead way Zoi’s float around each other even after being married and living in the same home is worrisome. And I’ve already heard people say ‘just wait for mods’. Like huh, wasn’t that a huge issue. Sims allegedly needs mods and all the DLC to be fun? That along with the still avoided question of how they are monetizing the game doesn’t have me saying ‘tic, InZoi ahead of the Sims’ right now they both have equal weaknesses in different ways just looking at base game. I am also not throwing it to the ground and saying ‘InZoi trash, staying with Sims’ but I am being decerning about another huge company witha much money grubbing history. Besides looking modern and new, there’s still a lot of ‘meh’ in InZoi where they haven’t cleared the bar for me.
@@TheDawnofVanlife it may be a bit too early becs it’s still in development. But to be an unfinished game and still miles ahead of what the Sims has ever done isn’t going unnoticed. The Zois seeming dead around each other just seem like a game that’s unfinished, and interactions are still being worked out. They have whole new systems they’re introducing that we haven’t seen yet. I mean it just seems obvious atp that’s the reason for it. The game is still in construction and they were considerate enough to share this game while in construction, be vulnerable, and actively listen to feedback and engage in conversation and discussion with players. EA does none of that or really the bare minimum. They have completely tarnished the reputation of the Sims franchise and is quite frankly worse in their money-grabbing practices than Krafton has been with this game so far. It’s interesting seeing such heavy criticism and energy for a game that they continue to repeat is under development, content is still subject to change, this is not the final product vs. the Sims that has been a completed game for years now.
I applied for this playtesting program. They asked me few times if I'm open to playtesting at their location without stating ONCE where those locations were... 🤦 They also never asked for my specs - I assumed I would be able to fill in how many devices I have and what their specs are. They asked me more about my gender and race than technicalities so I assume game performance is not that interesting for them 🤷
@@ciciciciciclala Both actually. These people have been voluntarily burnt so hard by EA, they're willing to glaze games that haven't even released yet. Annoying and delusional 🙄.
I’m already preparing to get a new gaming laptop for Inzoi. I seriously will be done with The Sims and will not be contributing anymore time or money to the brand.
@@talea9593 lol not really, it's you and the people that keep on buying their crap game and buying x packs and the base game just stop buying their shit, and it will change like what happen to Concord. Three things will happen if people stop buying their lazy shit games, either they will get their act together and put in some effort or get shut down. But that will never happen if people keep on buying the sims crap or go to another game, which right now there isn't one like the sims until paralives or inZOI come out.
EA acts like a deadbeat parent that does the bare minimum just to avoid getting cut off by their adult kids😂 their neverending bullshit is so exhausting
The Sims has been one big cash grab since The Sims 4 emerged over a decade ago. It takes at least $1000 to get all the packs that are usually broken or buggy, and most don’t add anything new or interesting to the game play. If Inzoi’s based game gives you all the options that they have shown, The Sims has already put a nail in their own coffin. ⚰️
1:30 This is just another of EA's ruses to get customers to be their testers and developers. Project Rene will hence forth be built and tested by it's own customers and when "Sims 5" releases, EA will be charging a $70 price tag for customers to by a finished product.... Then all those glorious microtransactions after that..... EA will have another big round of layoffs after Sims Labs gets released.
huh? fans becoming unpaid volunteer testers has been done since forever ago. hell, you can even find in other industries too, sport for example F1 marshals. not that the rest of your point invalid, but i failed to see how the two correlates. unless you're actually working as a QA tester for a company, i don't see why it's a problem.
@@bangsuha_ It's a problem because the corporation makes all the profit with none of the work. This won't make games cheaper.... And for the record, this type of BS from AAA devs only became a thing when consoles got internet connections, so late PS2, PS3\XB360. Prior to internet connections on consoles, AAA devs had to sell a complete and fully functioning product or there was massive refunds and the devs were dead in the water. A in the near past, a buggy, broken game ended companies..... Now they just sell whatever they want and walk away with the money. And the return policies are atrocious on digital platforms. AAA gaming is scamming us.
The SimsLabs is a scam. Basically free labor and advertising all in one, but people will sign up anyway. I don’t think EA is in a panic, but it is clear they won’t be the ‘only’ choice anymore, which is good. I actually had the opposite feeling with the InZoi character studio, the more I played with it and got the hang of it, the more limited I felt. Yeah the photo mode is off the chain, but I feel there was a really small style profile to what you could make. Much like the game, everything feels all modern and I felt I had a hard time making an average looking Zoi. The layering is cool but I’d have to see how it grows. And I was missing things like tattoos. And for the most part, Zois are just too hot so turning them down to normal is a struggle. You can get exaggerated if you try hard enough, but normal felt really hard. I tried to make myself (which isn’t a thing I do normally) and I kept thinking ‘I need you to be less hot and I am not winning’. 😂😂
I agree, inZOI is very pristine compared to the Sims and I think it lacks that "Imperfectly beautiful" aspect. but I think it's important to remember that inZOI has delivered a LOT of the things players have requested from the Sims team and then some, in the playtest alone. I have no doubt that theyll expand customization on many levels once its officially released.
@@mikey3758Besides the aestetics tho (open world, cars, laundry machines) it still seems lacking on a lot of the internals to socials and life sims in playtesting tbh. A lot of the realisim ends at design or is just pretty much on par with the Sims. Still plan on playing it, but once the shine of new and different is dusted off there’s a lot that’s lacking. I still think the real test is when the public has it for about two weeks. Its gonna sell well but how it holds after that will say a lot.
In ZOI will be a difficult game for computers that are weaker, I have a good gaming laptop and this creator demo works great, but we have to take into account the open world, cars, etc. when the full game comes out. With that I want to say that I don't agree that EA is afraid of this kind of competition, maybe they should be more afraid of Paralives or Vivaland games that won't be so demanding.
I really hope that EA doesn't pull an Activision and just start throwing lawsuits at the competition just because one clause may state that they legally can. Just because Activision gets away with bullying the competition by throwing out C&Ds shouldn't mean EA should get away with it too. This is the problem with monopolies like big western AAA publishers.
The Sims 4 does need to take a backseat because we have allowed EA to drive within the simulation market and not get anywhere but to a dead end. Inzoi is meant to finally get us as simulation fans to the destination that The Sims have failed to do. The Sims should have had competition when The Sims 3 came out. Then maybe The Sims 4 wouldn’t have been so terrible.
Nobody is talkin bout it but the company that makes inzoi is just as bad as ea when it comes to micro transactions. Every single game they've made is bogged down with them.
TBH you're already spending 1000 dollars on the sims if you buy every pack, might as well give InZoi a chance. I've heard it too which is why I have shied away from it, but I think if they avoid microtransactions for a while upon release, then everybody will enjoy it and then they can pull out the micro transactions later. It's just a repackaged EA, but it depends on how much care they put into it. Tbh I'm waiting for paralives.
@@JellyfishButItHasAGunYeah, I'm giving a skip for that reason (no hate on people who do choose to play it though) and the style is a little too hyper realistic for my liking.
I see this as a good thing. Finally EA realises it can't get away with not trying and in the future we might have two life sims that are competing against each other.
GTA RP streams are like a life sim soap opera. I used to watch a lot of them and there’d be people working basic jobs, trying to sell stuff in market stalls, doing goofy stuff with friends, having (RP) relationships… It’s definitely the kind of thing that people who like The Sims might be interested in, because so much of it isn’t the regular GTA play.
❤❤yes satch completely agree I don't even care about the sims 4 after so many years now, its like a relationship you been tapped out of and your finally walking away, now they want to listen sorry sims but inzoi is a refreshing new start.New community familiar faces I'm happy finally about the cars and sacrificial even made a inzoi video.
Inzoi already has the things we've been wanting from the Sims for years right there in their base game. Which will help make it run smoother because its the 50 thousand packs you have to purchase for basic ish that makes the Sims more buggy than a roach motel trap!
Greetings from Iran! If inZoi gets a dedicated modding community just like the Sims (which I suspect it will), I think the Sims will basically be over. EA we told you we want a realistic game with ultra realistic graphics and a complete game from the start, not a base game that has little to offer and is playable only after 10 years of receiving expansions! Also, you never gave me the ordinary hairstyles I wanted, so I couldn't create the people I wanted and I hated the anime hairstyles the modding community offered as if it could replace real hairstyles. But you didn't listen! And now I, as a long-time Sims fan, am telling you: I don't want you no more! You're so over!
why need a sims labs after almost 10 years? they are doing this because the team is guilty, that's what they get for ignoring Their players. what we want are the aesthetic gameplay of Sims 2 and 3 and the Graphics of Sims 4. but they didn't listen they just keep releasing useless kits
Honestly, as a huge sims fan-I think its the end of EAs terror. I have always bought every expansion I could and always have been hopeful...but this most recent shit....I was hoping life by you would be a game changer (I'm still salty about it) but inzoi if it lives up to the hype might be my new game. EA is trying to care too late tbh.
I would also be surprised of GTA but before seeing inzoi because that one really reminded me GTA and Cyberpunk2077 in its gameplay although there it's just minus violence
We should be at the end of The Sims 6 lifespan by now, speculating what we would have in The Sims 7. InZOI is MILES ahead of the Sims 4 in JUST the playtest lol. I love the sims but.. time to pass the mantle.
My first sims game was Sims 2, its sad but in all honesty I think its well overdo to end. its NOT the same game or developers we had on Sims 2 and 3 and EA have completely ruined the franchise atleast for me. I'm just ready to move onto InZOI Even if its dogshit i wont be buying Sims 5 or returning to Sims 4, ill happily rot away on Sims 3
The problem with InZoi is that this is a game for actual GAMERS, with good to high-end gaming machines. Sims is for casuals, and you can run it on a potato. Most of these casual gamers won't upgrade their hardware just to play InZoi. Example: my old laptop (now owned by my wife) was able to run a game like BGIII with its old Nvidia 970m on 30 FPS. I was also able to complete Starfield with it. This machine struggles even with InZoi character creator, running 17-18 FPS with Low graphics. It won't be able to run the full game for sure. Yet it is capable for everything else my wife needs and even more than she needs. I'm sure she will continue playing TS4 despite how terrible it is.
Inzoi isn’t (or won’t be) a perfect game either (generative AI that looks like it relies on stolen art and Krafton has microtransactions in every game they’ve ever made prior to Inzoi so there probably will be microtransactions in Inzoi or paid DLC), but at least the lead developer talks about his personal concerns for game development and both listens to and actively asks for feedback from players and aspiring players. Not on a constantly broken webpage but in the official discord. Not the best way to do that, sure, but can you imagine EA actively asking players for their opinions and then implementing those ideas without making them pay extra?
First it was Sim City and now it’s the Sims. We can only HOPE that this humbles EA enough to where they’ll actually release a finished game, (I’m never getting over weather being a paid dlc) and if they continue their ways we send em to their graves!
I agree with the that if they f up the project René, the sims will never be back how it was (which won’t). Because paralives will eventually come. And I’m 100% SURE that when the indie developers get money they will inject it back. They’re def (the sims) r in trouble
No they won't be considering a lot of people can't even play the demo that can already play the Sims. So unless they all go buy top end gaming computers. I'd say the Sims are extremely safe.
This reminds me of Genshin Impact and the drama when Wuthering Waves came to be their big competitor. They send out a statement about improving things in the next update all of a sudden 😂
I would never give up The Sims for something like Inzoi. Particularily because Inzoi doesn't have character autonomy. Ur character is basically a robot with no personality and no free will who needs to be controlled by you all the time. They can't even fulfill their most basic needs on their own. This is a huge deal breaker to me and the main reason why I'm not interested in the game so far. I hope they add it to the game later on, but I highly doubt it. Its pretty clear they are preparing this game for online multiplayer and life service features. This is Krafton after all.
from what i've seen they do fill all their needs on their own i've watched them do it. It is just everybody has been controlling them in videos 100% of the time and not letting that happen...
@@Anon1370 Its a very important part of a life sim game, imo. Yet no reviewer has mentioned it so far? They are comparing it to The Sims left and right, but no mention of such an important feature? Thats very weird. Its almost as if they have never played The Sims... I mean, I havent touched Sims 4 since April this year. But I have put hundreds of hours into the game and Sims autonomy is a feature that stands out the most to me. So yeah, really weird no one is mentioning it in Inzoi. Unless it really is a feature in the game and thats why they didnt mention it. Well, guess I will find out soon enough.
If EA cared about the Sims 4 then they should KNOW where things need to be changed. And add. They don't need us to play test what we've been telling them already
Inzoi looks great, but I unfortunately don't think it will be a direct competitor for the average market given the system requirements to play it. I have a gaming laptop, can run sims 4 with all packs and 15gb of mods, but I can't even run the character creator of inzoi. But hopefully it pushes the sims in a good direction
Oh 100% I think EA is afraid of inZOI and it's positive feedback even if it is just the creator creation. I think it is too late for EA and this Sims Lab thing, which does seem to only be out because of inZOI. They had 10 years with this game and they just made it this bloated thing which has too many problems to fix. I have loved the Sims 3 and will always go back to it. But I feel EA is going to lose if they try rushing something without it being polished. As well, with inZOI having things like weather, etc will force EA to have to make a base game similar if they really want to come out with a new game.
I loved sims 2 and 3 but if I see no improvement with sims 4, I’m done with the sims and jumping ship to Inzoi. I’m just being honest. We’ve been begging the sims team to listen to us and improve the game and they’ve just done what they wanted. Inzoi is everything I thought the sims 4 should’ve been and it’s not even released yet
I really want inzoi so bad. It has a lot of features that I'm looking for in a life sim game, which is totally different than when I first played the sims, let's just say I noticed A LOT of shortcomings even in just few hours of playing the sims. The only problem with inzoi for me is it's definitely a high end game, it needs your device to be a high end one too and it's just their pre release. I don't have the capacity for that. I'm so sad over this 😢
There is a long time before that game is out. They will optimize it but keep in mind you can start looking at upgrading your pc slowly. I recommend looking at decent builds on pc partpicker to get an idea and price range. Good luck!
I don't think i would ever go to inzoi because i just never really liked the more modern worlds even in the sims. I honestly didn't even want sims to start out with cell phones. Plus, i think my computer would burst into flames just double clicking the exe shortcut
I dont know if my PC can handle inZoi. Currently Im having a lot of fun with sims4. I love the lore and the fact that we have magic and science fiction. however I felt a little sad when I saw the create a style like functions because I remember painting my own custom patterns for sims 3 back then and they just took that away from us. still pissed after ten years :
IKR I started to play Once Human on steam the other day and the create character was SO detailed and modern, for a free game it's unreal how good it is in comparison to Sims 4. Very different games though but...
Honestly, i don't know if the Sims 4 will bounce back with this play tester. I saw other comments saying how they already deleted their game and EA app, which i also have too. A lot of people, especially people who enjoy the realistic graphics of Inzoi, are already over the Sims 4 to the point that people are willing to save up for new computers to run Inzoi. Not to mention that paralives offer the cute cartoony look, and if they have more game play than the sims 4, then EA is going to lose more people. Sims 4 may not completely die down, but it will not be the same, and i don't mean that in a good way.
ever since i head inzoi was in development ive been waiting for ea to start getting nervous either theyre gunna show their ass and try to tear inzoi and/or paralives down any way they can or theyre gunna straighten up and stop releasing broken games that arent eligible for a refund on purpose because they KNOW its bad i hope the inzoi demo is intimidating ea (as it should) and giving them anxiety diarrhea
As much as I love the inzoi demo and am excited for the game I don’t think it will replace the sims. A lot of simmers are casual gamers who don’t have gaming pcs. As long as there is not a competitor with the same computer specs the sims will continue to do just enough to get by and continue to release buggy games.
A lot of simmers play on console and mac. You can just upgrade a PC a lot of the time, but most people aren’t gonna fully replace their primary console and if InZoi ever comes to console, it won’t be in the near future. mac might be sooner.

@@TrailBlazer-h8fwtf you mean? They do, they just don’t want to
@saltycat662 For real though it feels like Sims 4 has more community management positions than programmers or animators. Also I’m pretty sure those programmers and animators are unpaid interns that have to do the coding in between fetching coffee for the community managers.
@@TrailBlazer-h8fThey know how to. They just won’t pay people to actually fix it.
InZoi’s team speaks volumes… the fact that they are running beta tests and listening/ responding to people through discord.
Yeah no at this rate The Sims is, without a doubt in my mind, cooked.
@@HunterCooksey The Sims 4 don’t need a discord now. It needs to just discontinue as a whole. They are like 9 years past the idea that making major changes now since they have competitors is going to make us happy.

@@mikey3758 Agree!
I will not be supporting anything else that the brand has to offer.

Socialmedia is so full of critique to The Sims... that they need no playtesting... they just need to listen

No. We needed this a lot earlier so we wouldn't end up with a buggy mess that is TS4

@heppelhopv2 I think their point is that it's too late to ask for playtesters because they've neglected the game and to get player feedback in an organized way. now all they really need to do is have an intern sit down and scroll through social media for a week, compiling all the complaints

Cant wait for Paralives to come out to enter the playing field. No rush here just me wanting EA to fall.💅
Paralives so looks like everything I wanted after Sims 2. Sims 3 is a good game, there are just ways it wasn’t for me and I always liked Sims 2 better. I’ve basically modded Sims 4 into as much of a Sims 2 sequel as I could manage 😂😂

@@myalex. I agree! They are panicking now. So, now, they want to play like they are going to fix things and improve the game experience when we have given them years to do right and yet no feedback or changes.
The Sims 4 is like having a horrible spouse that wants to stay married but doesn’t make the effort to make you fall in love again.
Inzoi will gladly get my hand in my second marriage. 😆
A whole decade and we still don't have cars or vehicles in the game at least like the sims 2 💀
EA has every reason to be freaking out because now they have a competitor that are actually listening to the audience that they have had in their pocket for over a decade.
We are getting everything that The Sims have been lacking for years.
I will never stop playing The Sims, but I will come back to it maybe in another lifetime when InZoi comes out. 😆
We bitch about it because we want betterrr 😭 from the people incharge of the game we love
They don't love the game, they love the idea of it.
@@audreytwoThat’s completely true actually and I didn’t even think about it that way. I love the idea of the sims 4, just not the game itself because of all the mods I usually download.
the only thing that is still holding sims (at least the older ones) over other life sims for me personally is the fact the sims is known to be whimsical and humorous, alongside being a life simulator and ive yet to see another life sim being willing to fill that niche for me. you can get the sense that youre playing in a world both different and alike your own and i do hope one of them can capture some of the humor that keeps us coming back! i do enjoy the aliens and being able to collect space rocks or having to fight off a vampire while still living in a suburban blue house you know.
thank you, the sims always felt very…. almost satirical, for me? like it was a parody of real life, making fun of the absurdity and randomness while simultaneously highlighting the mundane routine of what life really is.
I read a comment on someone else’s Inzoi video with a lot of upvotes that they were so excited and happy for Inzoi because they were tired of the goofyness that The Sims had; they mentioned the gnomes, llamas, and aliens, and they were tired of these ridiculous concepts in the sims and are glad Inzoi doesnt have dumb stuff like that.
I cant say I agree with this commentator but it opened my eyes that there were sims players who actually hated the whimsy lol
Yeah ngl it's the vampires that keep me, as someone who loves vampires and likes keeping my vampire OCs in my simulators. If inzoi did this, they have my vote.
@@cloudfan1010102 always fair, my gripe is that ALL of them seem to fill that niche and none the other. a blend is welcomed but alas i do enjoy playing with occults and the like and i do hope to see at least one of them try something of the sorts!
@@cloudfan1010102Don't forget witches and fairies, they can miss me with that. I'm glad most of the time it's DLC content but the alien abduction used to grind my gears.
ea deserved it, their greed made them fall
They still got a lot of money out of simmers in the first place, they’re currently just milking the game for what they can
@@sillygo0oser the sims games are only ones peeps willing to buy because there wasnt much competition on life sim games
I installed the inzoi demo after watching your first review of it, and genuinely, it is SO good. The opening screen already made me insanely excited, and the graphics are just INSANE. I'm genuinely sooo excited for the full game to come out, and I don't think I'll be going back to the sims after it releases.
I'm excited too. The only thing that would bring me back to play Sims would likely be the humor and absurdity of it. It's not a true life simulation, and it's fun to see a sim die of embarrassment, a vampire wandering into my house, those annoying gnomes, etc. EA should lean into that side of the Sims harder instead of trying to compete directly with Inzoi.
@@hoseoksrealwife I agree! I am planning on deleting anything that has to do with The Sims from my gaming laptop once Inzoi arrives. I’m over The Sims and so thankful that there is a competitor who values the customer as much as the gaming experience.
I am so happy I can play it on my laptop
I really hope they remove the ai art
Where can I install the demo?
Whenever I see the Sims in comparison to Inzoi now I always get reminded that I really didn't like that the Sims 4 looked so cartoony. I grew up with Sims 3 and loved the more realistic look (at that time) and I stopped playing the Sims 4 after a few packs because it's just shallow and boring. I feel like the awesome mods still keep the game alive. I also really loved the open world in Sims 3 which was a huge downgrade for me in Sims 4. So Inzoi could be the Sims 3 upgrade that I needed. The Inzoi character creator has some flaws but it's still in development and it's just so much fun to play around with. I'm really exited for it but I'm also really hyped for Paralives I think the developers really poured their heart and soul into it.
They chose the stylized cartoony look because its timeless. They knew the game would be out for decades so they needed an art syle that would be able to keep up with modern games years later. Stylized is the perfect art style for that. I mean, just look at how gorgeous the worlds in Sims 4 still look even today, after so many years.
@@Oozaru85 I understand what you mean but another problem is that the clothing in the sims looks super outdated anyway. They had some mod creators do the clothing in newer packs which was great but Inzoi in comparison is just more modern and stylish without the use of mods. And the fact that Inzoi is around the corner just shows that the look of the Sims 4 will eventually be outdated.
TS3 graphics literally burn my eyes. It's uncanny, it's too bright. It's just doesn't feel right. But TS4 graphics is just better. At least for me. Because of the style. The colors are nice, and the lighting is nice. The only problem for me is texture quality. Sometimes, it feels blurry. But I really like that stylized look. It just needs some upgrades with new technologies
The fact that the 2 commenters above are signing praise of TA4’s ugly ass design is so crazy. Stockholm Syndrome anyone?? Like you cannot tell me that the hideous cartoony look of TS4 ever looked good. But I guess for every terribly ugly game there will always be players overlooking its flaws, as they are ok with stagnant mediocrity 😭💀
@@cloudfan1010102 true.😭Ngl we all know that some people in the community would literally defend anything that EA does at this point.
EA wanting playtesters is funny. They should've done that with the disaster that was Sims 4. I bought it full price, got bored pretty quickly with the bare features, and now that it's free and the fact that spending money on it didn't even result in freebies during the transition to F2P felt like I was incredibly short-changed with my Sims 4 purchase. And now I will assume they will try to win back goodwill by posturing to care about customer feedback. Too late EA. Have a nice funeral as you bury The Sims next to Simcity.
No seriously I'm still mad they made the game free after I bought it on launch.
NOT only sims3 was better but also sims 4 has been so glitchy I stopped playing and switched to Animal crossing and Dreamlight valley. I guess sims will be history if EA doesnt take action now!
We often gave them loads of feedback 2:14 they always ignore it all the time. You get drained about it after not being heard. Then they want to turn around and blame the CC's creators for major issues. Nope I pass on The Sims 5.
Imagine if EA actually listened.
honestly hope inzoi is what kicks ea into gear as i am nervous about inzoi due to the companies less than colourful history with micro transactions and not being super player supportive
I rather have a good base game and have optional DLC (inZOI) than have a bad base game and bad unfinished DLC(TS4)
@@LeFuilI think its too early to say InZoi has a better base game because honestly in a lot of ways it doesn’t. Like the dead way Zoi’s float around each other even after being married and living in the same home is worrisome. And I’ve already heard people say ‘just wait for mods’. Like huh, wasn’t that a huge issue. Sims allegedly needs mods and all the DLC to be fun?
That along with the still avoided question of how they are monetizing the game doesn’t have me saying ‘tic, InZoi ahead of the Sims’ right now they both have equal weaknesses in different ways just looking at base game. I am also not throwing it to the ground and saying ‘InZoi trash, staying with Sims’ but I am being decerning about another huge company witha much money grubbing history. Besides looking modern and new, there’s still a lot of ‘meh’ in InZoi where they haven’t cleared the bar for me.
@@TheDawnofVanlife InZOI is already 100 times better than Sims 3 and 4 together.
@@TheDawnofVanlife it may be a bit too early becs it’s still in development. But to be an unfinished game and still miles ahead of what the Sims has ever done isn’t going unnoticed. The Zois seeming dead around each other just seem like a game that’s unfinished, and interactions are still being worked out. They have whole new systems they’re introducing that we haven’t seen yet. I mean it just seems obvious atp that’s the reason for it. The game is still in construction and they were considerate enough to share this game while in construction, be vulnerable, and actively listen to feedback and engage in conversation and discussion with players. EA does none of that or really the bare minimum. They have completely tarnished the reputation of the Sims franchise and is quite frankly worse in their money-grabbing practices than Krafton has been with this game so far. It’s interesting seeing such heavy criticism and energy for a game that they continue to repeat is under development, content is still subject to change, this is not the final product vs. the Sims that has been a completed game for years now.

But that will never happen if people keep on buying the sims crap or go to another game, which right now there isn't one like the sims until paralives or inZOI come out.
Good, this is all I wanted a panicked company that will finally want to compete.
EA acts like a deadbeat parent that does the bare minimum just to avoid getting cut off by their adult kids😂 their neverending bullshit is so exhausting
The Sims has been one big cash grab since The Sims 4 emerged over a decade ago. It takes at least $1000 to get all the packs that are usually broken or buggy, and most don’t add anything new or interesting to the game play.
If Inzoi’s based game gives you all the options that they have shown, The Sims has already put a nail in their own coffin. ⚰️

Then all those glorious microtransactions after that..... EA will have another big round of layoffs after Sims Labs gets released.
huh? fans becoming unpaid volunteer testers has been done since forever ago. hell, you can even find in other industries too, sport for example F1 marshals. not that the rest of your point invalid, but i failed to see how the two correlates. unless you're actually working as a QA tester for a company, i don't see why it's a problem.
@@bangsuha_ It's a problem because the corporation makes all the profit with none of the work. This won't make games cheaper.... And for the record, this type of BS from AAA devs only became a thing when consoles got internet connections, so late PS2, PS3\XB360. Prior to internet connections on consoles, AAA devs had to sell a complete and fully functioning product or there was massive refunds and the devs were dead in the water. A in the near past, a buggy, broken game ended companies..... Now they just sell whatever they want and walk away with the money. And the return policies are atrocious on digital platforms. AAA gaming is scamming us.
The SimsLabs is a scam. Basically free labor and advertising all in one, but people will sign up anyway.
I don’t think EA is in a panic, but it is clear they won’t be the ‘only’ choice anymore, which is good.
I actually had the opposite feeling with the InZoi character studio, the more I played with it and got the hang of it, the more limited I felt. Yeah the photo mode is off the chain, but I feel there was a really small style profile to what you could make. Much like the game, everything feels all modern and I felt I had a hard time making an average looking Zoi. The layering is cool but I’d have to see how it grows. And I was missing things like tattoos. And for the most part, Zois are just too hot so turning them down to normal is a struggle. You can get exaggerated if you try hard enough, but normal felt really hard. I tried to make myself (which isn’t a thing I do normally) and I kept thinking ‘I need you to be less hot and I am not winning’. 😂😂
I agree, inZOI is very pristine compared to the Sims and I think it lacks that "Imperfectly beautiful" aspect. but I think it's important to remember that inZOI has delivered a LOT of the things players have requested from the Sims team and then some, in the playtest alone. I have no doubt that theyll expand customization on many levels once its officially released.
@@mikey3758Besides the aestetics tho (open world, cars, laundry machines) it still seems lacking on a lot of the internals to socials and life sims in playtesting tbh. A lot of the realisim ends at design or is just pretty much on par with the Sims. Still plan on playing it, but once the shine of new and different is dusted off there’s a lot that’s lacking. I still think the real test is when the public has it for about two weeks. Its gonna sell well but how it holds after that will say a lot.
I freaking hope so. They should aim to do better in this day and age already 🙄
Remember how Palworld came out of nowhere and won fans over 3:32
The ERA OF INZOI Say goodbye to the sims
In ZOI will be a difficult game for computers that are weaker, I have a good gaming laptop and this creator demo works great, but we have to take into account the open world, cars, etc. when the full game comes out. With that I want to say that I don't agree that EA is afraid of this kind of competition, maybe they should be more afraid of Paralives or Vivaland games that won't be so demanding.
I really hope that EA doesn't pull an Activision and just start throwing lawsuits at the competition just because one clause may state that they legally can. Just because Activision gets away with bullying the competition by throwing out C&Ds shouldn't mean EA should get away with it too. This is the problem with monopolies like big western AAA publishers.
Won’t somebody please think of the shareholders!?!?! 😂😂😂 Oh, the humanity! 🙄
I've made a total of 17 zoi’s and am still not bored with creating them. But when it came to creating a sim I got bored in 30 mins without cc lol
The Sims 4 does need to take a backseat because we have allowed EA to drive within the simulation market and not get anywhere but to a dead end.
Inzoi is meant to finally get us as simulation fans to the destination that The Sims have failed to do.
The Sims should have had competition when The Sims 3 came out. Then maybe The Sims 4 wouldn’t have been so terrible.
Planet Coaster destroyed Roller Coaster Tycoon 4, Cities Skylines destroyed Simcity 4.... I believe Inzoi can fully destroy the Sims 4
Nobody is talkin bout it but the company that makes inzoi is just as bad as ea when it comes to micro transactions. Every single game they've made is bogged down with them.
I’ve heard about that too!
TBH you're already spending 1000 dollars on the sims if you buy every pack, might as well give InZoi a chance. I've heard it too which is why I have shied away from it, but I think if they avoid microtransactions for a while upon release, then everybody will enjoy it and then they can pull out the micro transactions later. It's just a repackaged EA, but it depends on how much care they put into it. Tbh I'm waiting for paralives.
and they use ai
@@JellyfishButItHasAGunYeah, I'm giving a skip for that reason (no hate on people who do choose to play it though) and the style is a little too hyper realistic for my liking.

My PC almost exploded trying to run the Inzoi intro. I think it's time to upgrade
I see this as a good thing. Finally EA realises it can't get away with not trying and in the future we might have two life sims that are competing against each other.
This is why competition is needed. lol
GTA RP streams are like a life sim soap opera. I used to watch a lot of them and there’d be people working basic jobs, trying to sell stuff in market stalls, doing goofy stuff with friends, having (RP) relationships… It’s definitely the kind of thing that people who like The Sims might be interested in, because so much of it isn’t the regular GTA play.
I'm not sure that inzoi can meet my needs, because I'm an occult player and a garden/parks builder.
I hope they add occults cuz I love to play with them mostly as well
I hope they remove the ai art
lol, there’s no way I’m playing anything early. Their nonsense isn’t even playable on release 😂
They just need to make Sims 2 playable on newer systems and have it available to download... That was my game 😭
❤❤yes satch completely agree I don't even care about the sims 4 after so many years now, its like a relationship you been tapped out of and your finally walking away, now they want to listen sorry sims but inzoi is a refreshing new start.New community familiar faces I'm happy finally about the cars and sacrificial even made a inzoi video.
I screamed when I saw Shantelle Chantelle
ea isn't worried because they know most people won't have a system that can hande inzoi
Whatever they say, I don't believe it and I don't expect positive changes. Power to INZOI!
if only inZOI had supernatural ...
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍
Once inzoi comes out I’m absolutely done with sims with their bs money grabbing
Last time i feel this level of hype was when sims 3 release
Inzoi already has the things we've been wanting from the Sims for years right there in their base game. Which will help make it run smoother because its the 50 thousand packs you have to purchase for basic ish that makes the Sims more buggy than a roach motel trap!
Greetings from Iran! If inZoi gets a dedicated modding community just like the Sims (which I suspect it will), I think the Sims will basically be over. EA we told you we want a realistic game with ultra realistic graphics and a complete game from the start, not a base game that has little to offer and is playable only after 10 years of receiving expansions! Also, you never gave me the ordinary hairstyles I wanted, so I couldn't create the people I wanted and I hated the anime hairstyles the modding community offered as if it could replace real hairstyles. But you didn't listen! And now I, as a long-time Sims fan, am telling you: I don't want you no more! You're so over!
That's what I'm saying. No matter what they add to their trashy game I doubt they had even thought about giving us such a quality.
Eh, don't know about realistic graphics. I want something I can run on my computer.
I don’t want realistic graphics actually…
why need a sims labs after almost 10 years? they are doing this because the team is guilty, that's what they get for ignoring Their players. what we want are the aesthetic gameplay of Sims 2 and 3 and the Graphics of Sims 4. but they didn't listen they just keep releasing useless kits
Honestly, as a huge sims fan-I think its the end of EAs terror. I have always bought every expansion I could and always have been hopeful...but this most recent shit....I was hoping life by you would be a game changer (I'm still salty about it) but inzoi if it lives up to the hype might be my new game.
EA is trying to care too late tbh.
"your a slave labourer" HELP I CANT STOP LAUGHINGGGGGGGG
0:19 yes lol. The first Zelda game.
The fact that the crop up of Inzoi has EA sweating in any way shape or form tells me all I already knew about ea.
The thing is... WE'VE BEEN giving them feedback for 10 years and it was all deaf ears... i dont know i wont hold my breath anymore
I would also be surprised of GTA but before seeing inzoi because that one really reminded me GTA and Cyberpunk2077 in its gameplay although there it's just minus violence
We should be at the end of The Sims 6 lifespan by now, speculating what we would have in The Sims 7. InZOI is MILES ahead of the Sims 4 in JUST the playtest lol. I love the sims but.. time to pass the mantle.
so happy to see EA being humbled KEEP IT COMING
My first sims game was Sims 2, its sad but in all honesty I think its well overdo to end. its NOT the same game or developers we had on Sims 2 and 3 and EA have completely ruined the franchise atleast for me. I'm just ready to move onto InZOI
Even if its dogshit i wont be buying Sims 5 or returning to Sims 4, ill happily rot away on Sims 3
The problem with InZoi is that this is a game for actual GAMERS, with good to high-end gaming machines. Sims is for casuals, and you can run it on a potato. Most of these casual gamers won't upgrade their hardware just to play InZoi.
Example: my old laptop (now owned by my wife) was able to run a game like BGIII with its old Nvidia 970m on 30 FPS. I was also able to complete Starfield with it. This machine struggles even with InZoi character creator, running 17-18 FPS with Low graphics. It won't be able to run the full game for sure. Yet it is capable for everything else my wife needs and even more than she needs. I'm sure she will continue playing TS4 despite how terrible it is.
Inzoi isn’t (or won’t be) a perfect game either (generative AI that looks like it relies on stolen art and Krafton has microtransactions in every game they’ve ever made prior to Inzoi so there probably will be microtransactions in Inzoi or paid DLC), but at least the lead developer talks about his personal concerns for game development and both listens to and actively asks for feedback from players and aspiring players. Not on a constantly broken webpage but in the official discord. Not the best way to do that, sure, but can you imagine EA actively asking players for their opinions and then implementing those ideas without making them pay extra?
First it was Sim City and now it’s the Sims. We can only HOPE that this humbles EA enough to where they’ll actually release a finished game, (I’m never getting over weather being a paid dlc) and if they continue their ways we send em to their graves!
I heard they released a survey about what brands we like and want to place ads in the game. No fucken way would I want ads in a paid for game.
I agree with the that if they f up the project René, the sims will never be back how it was (which won’t). Because paralives will eventually come. And I’m 100% SURE that when the indie developers get money they will inject it back. They’re def (the sims) r in trouble
No they won't be considering a lot of people can't even play the demo that can already play the Sims.
So unless they all go buy top end gaming computers.
I'd say the Sims are extremely safe.
Exactly!
Do you need a gaming computer for Paralives too?
This reminds me of Genshin Impact and the drama when Wuthering Waves came to be their big competitor. They send out a statement about improving things in the next update all of a sudden 😂
I would never give up The Sims for something like Inzoi. Particularily because Inzoi doesn't have character autonomy. Ur character is basically a robot with no personality and no free will who needs to be controlled by you all the time. They can't even fulfill their most basic needs on their own. This is a huge deal breaker to me and the main reason why I'm not interested in the game so far. I hope they add it to the game later on, but I highly doubt it. Its pretty clear they are preparing this game for online multiplayer and life service features. This is Krafton after all.
from what i've seen they do fill all their needs on their own i've watched them do it. It is just everybody has been controlling them in videos 100% of the time and not letting that happen...
@@Anon1370 Its a very important part of a life sim game, imo. Yet no reviewer has mentioned it so far? They are comparing it to The Sims left and right, but no mention of such an important feature? Thats very weird. Its almost as if they have never played The Sims... I mean, I havent touched Sims 4 since April this year. But I have put hundreds of hours into the game and Sims autonomy is a feature that stands out the most to me. So yeah, really weird no one is mentioning it in Inzoi. Unless it really is a feature in the game and thats why they didnt mention it. Well, guess I will find out soon enough.
You’re gonna compare a game of 10 years to a game In development by all means keep playing your kitty game but grown adults are going to play inzoi
If EA cared about the Sims 4 then they should KNOW where things need to be changed. And add. They don't need us to play test what we've been telling them already
Inzoi looks great, but I unfortunately don't think it will be a direct competitor for the average market given the system requirements to play it. I have a gaming laptop, can run sims 4 with all packs and 15gb of mods, but I can't even run the character creator of inzoi. But hopefully it pushes the sims in a good direction
I agree. There’s so many people all over discord, Twitter and even TH-cam who can’t even play the demo.
Project Rene has lifestages, age numbers, hair color, skin color, accessories, footwear, tops, bottoms, species, profiles, names, favorites, makeup, body modifications, facial textures, home, 3D cartoon, realistic, house surroundings, parking facilities, stairs, basements, places, objects, doors, windows, modular beds, animation, sound effects, music and etc.
Oh 100% I think EA is afraid of inZOI and it's positive feedback even if it is just the creator creation. I think it is too late for EA and this Sims Lab thing, which does seem to only be out because of inZOI. They had 10 years with this game and they just made it this bloated thing which has too many problems to fix. I have loved the Sims 3 and will always go back to it. But I feel EA is going to lose if they try rushing something without it being polished. As well, with inZOI having things like weather, etc will force EA to have to make a base game similar if they really want to come out with a new game.
I'm waiting for paralives. I still want that cartoon feel that the sims gives but without all the insane amount of bugs and issues.
I loved sims 2 and 3 but if I see no improvement with sims 4, I’m done with the sims and jumping ship to Inzoi. I’m just being honest. We’ve been begging the sims team to listen to us and improve the game and they’ve just done what they wanted. Inzoi is everything I thought the sims 4 should’ve been and it’s not even released yet
Even if EA made Sims 5, you know they gonna make the game as bare bones as possible, strip features from the previous game and add them slowly as dlc.
I really want inzoi so bad. It has a lot of features that I'm looking for in a life sim game, which is totally different than when I first played the sims, let's just say I noticed A LOT of shortcomings even in just few hours of playing the sims.
The only problem with inzoi for me is it's definitely a high end game, it needs your device to be a high end one too and it's just their pre release. I don't have the capacity for that. I'm so sad over this 😢
There is a long time before that game is out. They will optimize it but keep in mind you can start looking at upgrading your pc slowly. I recommend looking at decent builds on pc partpicker to get an idea and price range. Good luck!
Same
I hope they remove the ai
I don't think i would ever go to inzoi because i just never really liked the more modern worlds even in the sims. I honestly didn't even want sims to start out with cell phones.
Plus, i think my computer would burst into flames just double clicking the exe shortcut
I dont know if my PC can handle inZoi. Currently Im having a lot of fun with sims4. I love the lore and the fact that we have magic and science fiction. however I felt a little sad when I saw the create a style like functions because I remember painting my own custom patterns for sims 3 back then and they just took that away from us. still pissed after ten years :
IKR I started to play Once Human on steam the other day and the create character was SO detailed and modern, for a free game it's unreal how good it is in comparison to Sims 4. Very different games though but...
Honestly, i don't know if the Sims 4 will bounce back with this play tester. I saw other comments saying how they already deleted their game and EA app, which i also have too. A lot of people, especially people who enjoy the realistic graphics of Inzoi, are already over the Sims 4 to the point that people are willing to save up for new computers to run Inzoi. Not to mention that paralives offer the cute cartoony look, and if they have more game play than the sims 4, then EA is going to lose more people. Sims 4 may not completely die down, but it will not be the same, and i don't mean that in a good way.
ever since i head inzoi was in development ive been waiting for ea to start getting nervous
either theyre gunna show their ass and try to tear inzoi and/or paralives down any way they can
or theyre gunna straighten up and stop releasing broken games that arent eligible for a refund on purpose because they KNOW its bad
i hope the inzoi demo is intimidating ea (as it should) and giving them anxiety diarrhea
As much as I love the inzoi demo and am excited for the game I don’t think it will replace the sims. A lot of simmers are casual gamers who don’t have gaming pcs. As long as there is not a competitor with the same computer specs the sims will continue to do just enough to get by and continue to release buggy games.
A lot of simmers play on console and mac. You can just upgrade a PC a lot of the time, but most people aren’t gonna fully replace their primary console and if InZoi ever comes to console, it won’t be in the near future. mac might be sooner.
@@TheDawnofVanlife they announced they will be coming to console later. As of right now there is no word on mac.
Big gtarp servers now have a sims like warehouse/house decorating, so it is very sims like nowadays. There even decorating pd offices in prodigy rp for cop players
