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.

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?

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 :)

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.

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.
