InZOIhas been released into early access after a lot of hype for theSimscompetitor.

It just makesThe Simslook a lot better.

However, there a few problemsInZOIcould fix in EA before its full release that would really help.

If a room likely shares an item, it will be in one or the other, not both.

It is a basic necessity of the game, but it does not work when it is supposed to.

This is another very basic part of the game that should work just fine right now but doesn’t.

This means players have to use the money cheat while playing.

This could be fixed by just having a faster speed setting for sleeping and doing boring things.

This is somethingThe Sims 4still does better thanInZOI.

They also fill up faster than they would in fast-forward mode inThe Sims.

A good example of this isneeding to sleep twice a day for about five to six hours a day.

Hollow Knight: Silksong has been a favorite among Steam wishlisters for awhile now.

In a shocking turn of events, one game has now surpassed Silksong.

In my experience, coffee doesn’t work either.

Every caffeinated drink goes like water for Zois.

Your Zoi has to join them or go home for a quick nap every day.

This has to be fixed becauseit’s like taking a forced break from playing every in-game day.

Mastering a skill in any other game feels rewarding, but it feels like no big deal inInZOI.

It made me stop caring very much about ranking up skills becauseskills are too easy to level up.

The progression of skills inTheSimscompared to InZOI is likeMaplestoryfrom two decades ago compared to today.

It’s so much faster now.

There’s no way to just skip the sentence, and Zois will refuse to sleep unless tired.

Basically, players have to wait out the sentence, and even speeding up time is slow.

It’s hard to rememberThe Simsadding in something so boring just to have the feature.

However, they’re so lackluster.

These interactions should feel a lot more developed than this when the game really releases.

Growing in levels of friendship and such opens a few new interaction options, but not many.

The lack of interaction options, alongside these other issues, may explain theinexpensive price for early access.

This is initially really cool, but AI is not as good as everyone makes it out to be.

I went to school to study computer animation, and it’s a lot simpler than it looks.

It won’t be professional quality, but at least it could be closer than an AI can get.

It’s more of a personal pet peeve, but it would really helpInZOIto give players more freedom here.

The character creator for clothing and accessories feels so empty.

There are few choices all over and making a style is incredibly limited as well.

TheZoi customization should be the most important part of this game, and yet it feels so limited.

The lack of clothing inInZOIis a great example of where the game is at right now.

UntilInZOIfixes and improves these qualities, it’s just not worth trying yet.
