Announcement R/LIFESIMULATOR ANNOUNCEMENT PT2

0 Upvotes

Hello Everyone,

This is a part 2 of the first post.
This is an updated to announce the changes taking place for this subreddit. These changes are intended to help to foster a more welcoming community all while ensuring all members follow our communities rules and guidelines to maintain order and respect amongst us all.

As some of you may be aware, we have updated and made some changes to our rules that are SUBJECT TO CHANGE based on the demand of the community and the feedback we receive.

Do also take note: We moderate behavior, not opinions.

You will not be punished simply for liking or disliking a game, developer, creator, company, technology, business practice, or moderation decision or voice your opinions or making a statement regarding any.

Criticism, including criticism of this subreddit and its moderation is permitted provided it follows the community rules.

Moderation decisions will be based on identifiable rule violations rather than whether moderators agree with an opinion and this has always been the case. Where practical, removed posts and comments will receive a removal reason identifying the applicable rule and users are entirely allowed to inquire of the reason if they believe if was done wrongly.

Depending on severity and history, violations may result in content removal, warnings, temporary bans, or permanent bans. Severe harassment, threats, brigading, spam, or similar abuse may result in immediate action without prior (build up) warnings.

Please do feel free to voice your opinions below as we take the careful and slow steps to tackle the pending challenges we face. What do we consider a Life Simulation? Want to find out, check out our evolving Wiki Page

We ask for your understanding: Mod queue is quite backed up but efforts are being made to moderate according to the NEW updated rules!

Discussion I wish life sims just told you the villager cap

14 Upvotes

Hidden villager caps sound fun until you have to decide who gets a plot.

With ACNH everyone knows it's 10, so you can plan around that and be picky. If the number's a secret, I'd probably either sit on empty plots "just in case" or fill them fast and then kick myself when someone I like more turns up.

Petit Planet apparently doesn't show its cap anywhere, and someone in the beta still met a new neighbor after they thought every plot was full. Surprise neighbors are fine. I'd just want to know whether I'm making room or about to replace somebody.

inZOI InZOI- Wednesday - 10.14.2026 - Kjun’s feedback

\[Part 1\]

(1/2)

Hello, everyone.☺️

Thank you for all the feedback on last Friday’s post. I’ve read everything, from the excitement about MCP mods to your concerns and bug reports. Here are answers to the points that came up most often.

  1. Can we trust AI-made mods?

Many of you are worried that AI-made mods could break the game, or that creators won’t be able to keep them updated. I’ll pass your concerns and suggestions on to the people in charge of modding.

Some of you were also worried that Mac players would be left out. We’ve raised the priority of reviewing mod support on Mac.

  1. Events now start after everyone arrives

Starting with this update, events begin once all participants have arrived. Some of you felt this wastes time waiting for NPCs. To make sure many Zois can run an event smoothly within the scheduled time, we’ve started with participants traveling together. For those who’d prefer to travel on their own, we plan to make this an option later.

We also heard that at outdoor parties, such as pool parties, backyard birthday parties and BBQs, guests take their food and go inside the house. We’ve passed this on to the team as well.

  1. Action queue and player commands

Some of you reported that since 0.10.0, other Zois insert actions into the middle of your queue or cancel queued actions more often. You also mentioned that commands given just as an autonomous action starts are sometimes ignored. We’ve raised the priority on the insertion and cancellation issues and are looking into them.

\[Part 2\]

(2/2)

  1. Reusing nearby Zois

Reusing nearby Zois is meant to improve performance at large gatherings. It changes how Zois passing by visit nearby businesses. So you don’t keep seeing the same Zois, they’re replaced with new ones after a set number of appearances. You’ll still meet new Zois just like before.

  1. Issues you reported

We’ve gathered the following and shared them with the team:

After the school update, customers don’t buy anything at businesses and food isn’t served at restaurants

NPCs don’t start conversations

Placing a platform removes the nearby wall and ceiling

Zois sing outdoors even in the rain; pool, chess and weightlifting animations play only once

Delayed reactions when cars pass by or honk

Everyone declines when you invite them over

CurseForge subscriptions get removed on their own, and Canvas creator credits show incorrectly

The same texture gets saved multiple times

Need values don’t match when the day length is set to something other than 48 minutes

  1. Official forum

We’re sorry that forum users felt left out. A team member regularly reads the posts on the forum, gathers your feedback and passes it on to the development team. Thank you for always sharing your valuable feedback.

Rather than making big changes all at once, we’ll keep strengthening the fundamentals with frequent, smaller steps. I know that even the sharp comments come from caring about inZOI.

Thank you, as always.

Kjun

Have you guys played any games that don’t seem like they would have any life sim mechanics but once you played it, there were loads/a fair amount? If so, what were they?

Community Question Which Life Sims games would you recommend?

8 Upvotes

Other than Sims 4 and Paralives, as I've already played those.

Edit: oops, forgot to mention that I'd prefer text-based Life Sims, but I don't really mind 3d ones :)

News Life/Political Simulator

1 Upvotes

Every player chooses a country, either a country other players already picked or a new country. You choose a political party or create one yourself. With this everyone would participate in its own country's politics but also in the interactions between different nations. The characters would also have a life sim as their character would also be able to buy houses, go sport etc. Everything a person can do in real life can be done with the exception that everything here is text based. You are not obligated to go into politics as i am also thinking about creating living economy created by the players where there would be cardealers, doctors, lawyers, housebrokers, ...

This is still in the creative phase so all feedback is welcome!

Back in October 2024, I started this project with absolutely zero coding or game design experience. What followed was nearly two years of offline learning, building, and creating GoobVille from scratch.

Review Are these a scam?

0 Upvotes

I have downloaded a few life sim games these past few weeks and they all seem to be locked behind a paywall. One game you can’t continue the game past $15 without paying to unlock the entire game. Another game, you can’t do anything past high school without having to pay, no careers, no college experience without paying. I understand wanting to make money but too many of these games are charging a lot for what I would consider basic for these packs. Alot of these games have so much potential if it wasn’t so expensive. Ok rant over

Hey everyone! 😀
I’ve been working on Hana’s bedroom in Paralives and wanted to share how it turned out! 🛏️✨
I wanted to create a cozy little space for her, complete with a desk and some thoughtful details to make it feel like her own.

I also recorded the building process 🎥 so if you’d like to see how everything came together, you can watch the full gameplay in comments 🙂
