Urgently needed improvements and missing resources.

Dear developers,

The game is really cool, very beautiful and promising. But it's missing some basic things.

1 - The rain pauses along with the game.

When you pause the game, the game world stops, but the rain in the game continues to fall, consuming resources. This should be fixed.

2 - Remove icons from the Zois' heads.

Sometimes we just want to enter the game to make a machinima. A photo of Zoi eating or walking down the street in the game. But these icons that appear or remain constantly on the Zois' heads take away from the immersion of the photo or video. It would be ideal if there were a way to turn off all the effects and head icons.

3 - Cooking food with multiple portions.

Sometimes we want to cook for multiple people. But the game only allows cooking for one person, forcing the player to cook multiple times to satisfy everyone's hunger. It would be ideal if this changed and an option to cook in multiple portions was added.

4 - Painting the slab of a building.
Sometimes we want to build a house with the slab and walls on the outside with the same color and texture. But unfortunately the game doesn't allow us to paint the slab, only the ceiling inside the house. It would be ideal if this changed because it takes away from the game's immersion and limits the player's creativity.

5 - Facial expressions.
We know that the game has static and animated body movements and poses that you can add new ones via AI. However, we would like it to also be possible to do this with facial expressions. If it is not possible to do it via AI, then it could be done with animations in Blender and exported to the game. Unfortunately, not everyone has access to an iPhone, as it is very expensive and for many it is not worth it. But adding animated facial expressions, allowing the community to also add new expressions via mods and allowing them to use these expressions in the game along with body emojis would be incredible and would make life easier for those who like to make machinimas.

6 - Zois in the game should look more similar to how they were made in CAZ.
The game urgently needs to improve the way the Zois look in the game. Some of them look terribly different from how we made them in CAZ. This harms the player's experience and makes them feel like all the work they put into CAZ was wasted.

7 - More free customization for children.
The children in the game need more customization, just like the adults have. Many of the things and details that adults have in customization are missing in children.

8 - Smaller slabs and the possibility of painting them and placing them at the height you want without interfering with the house.
The slabs in the game are very large. I wish they had narrower slabs. Many people like to improvise cabins inside buildings to use as bathrooms or to play Doctor Who, but these huge slabs that are not independent of the house prevent them from being used efficiently. This should be changed.

Suggestion for additional features:

1 - Curved walls.

I would really like to see curved walls in the game to make increasingly modern and crazy constructions. It would be an excellent additional feature.

2 - Mouth that moves by voice detection.

In GTA RP we have a feature where the character's mouth moves when we speak into the microphone. This, added to the facial expressions available to be used in the game, such as the emojis that we already have in the game, would be a great alternative to facial capture, which ends up being exclusive to those who have an iPhone.

I would like to thank you in advance for your attention and that of everyone who reads this topic. Health and success to all!

No 3 , You can already cook group meals , Pizza , Chicken , Cake , Steak on the BBQ all come out with 4 servings , Just makes sure they all grab a piece before the first person finishes their helping and cleans away the remainder of the good food

My friend said she can't do this and only a portion comes out. That's why I added it to the discussion.

Those are all things that will most likely be put in the game in its final form. It is early access and the game is far from complete. We have all invested in the development of inZOI and for that investment the developers have given us early access to the game while it is being developed for us to test. InZOI is currently 2 years in development and there will probably be 2 more years before we see a complete game.

You have to have a lot of patience when investing in early access games. Several games I play were in early access for 8 years before the final version was released.

BTW I would add 3a: Store uneaten food in the fridge for later.
