How much content is there ?

[Ongen]

So i am very tempted to buy it and give it a try, but i heard it kind of lacks content for now and people run out of things to do... I understand it is a little like Sims so im just wondering what kind of activities is there to do ? what can you do ? what kind of jobs is available and how much content is it in general ? How much time have people put into it before feeling they out of things to do ?

So I have about 71.5 hours in game and no not all of it is me actively playing it. This is a beta game and should be treated as such. I am going through every life stage, trying every job and visiting each location to tell them what to change and improve on.

Because I am gathering feedback for the game I have a lot of hours in game and I am still not bored. Buying this game now is paying Krafton a large company to play test their game for them, if you don't want to do that or dislike that sort of transaction, then you should not buy into the game b.c it lacks depth, direction and polish.

It's definitely lacking if you like to play full autonomy. If you like to micromanage everything though, it's perfect for that right now.

In my opinion it has a better playable career mode than the sims games had but there is not really much to do once you reach a certain number of hours in game however if you want a cozy game and don't mind that you can't do more than you could in the sims base game then you will probably like this game. I feel like sims 2 had more content, it's closer to the sims 3 BG in content.

Unless your a teenage girl or weirdo looking for nude mods there is nothing much there at all. It's certainly not early access. More like a playtest

All the basics are there, the mechanics just need to be refined and more stuff introduced. For example I read Zois who get romantically involved can't move in together until after marriage and you can't call another zoi on your phone just to chat and socialize yet.

version 0.1 is just at the beginning of development, but playable All the basics are there.
Content is still very limited is EA.. errors are to be expected. but Constructive critic is welcome.. So far, the developers have listened well..

I got bored by the 15th hour of the game. I stopped playing. I really don't like that you can't move to another city and professions are tied to cities. So if you live in Bliss Bay, all your descendants will be tied only to the work of Bliss Bay

Yes, exactly. At least in the Sims you can move to another city and even have a different profession there, and your children can all be in different cities too and yet visit from time to time.

that you can change worlds or travel will definitely come. i hope

but that professions bound to the worlds. is not so wrong. I play the South Korea map.
You can't be a K-pop star in Bliss bay, Sounds plausible..
Some alternatives must then be used. Suitable for the world

Playtest is literally what early access is. Also what's with the teenage girl comment? Sounds weirdly misogynistic.

No it's not. Playtests are generally in a more Raw state and are released to a limited number of people. Early Access is essentially a public beta that is essentially the next step in getting features optimized and added for a full launch

Nothing misogynistic about what I said. Merely referring to the type of audience this game appeals to at the moment. The threads being created are evidence of this

You've got the foundations for lots of content. None of it's complete, but there is lots to do. As you do stuff, you'll run into blank spaces and missing bits and be all "What! What!" I've played several early access and beta releases which were much emptier. It's fun.

I have over 150 hours, aging on and I still have my Zoi to get married, have children and all of that. The game already has all the basics to start a large family.

I'd say inZOI has a solid foundation to become a good game somewhere down the road, but right now it is lacking challenges. There are two ways to play: you can enable autonomy and watch your Zois take care of themselves. They will survive, but no major decisions will be made by them. Or you take control and make them do things. The problem is, the things you make them do will rarely fail.

For example, if you meet another Zoi somewhere at a public place and begin romancing them, they will never reject you. They may reject individual actions if you choose them to early (e.g. kissing someone you barely know), but if you just keep queueing actions from the romance category, the other Zoi will soon become a lover, accept your proposal, marry you, and have a child with you. All within 20 minutes of gameplay. In other words, autonomous play is boring, interactive play is god mode. There's nothing in between.

Jobs are boring too. There are only a few that aren't rabbit holes, and those require you to perform certain actions a certain number of times. Again, these actions will never fail. For example, as a cashier in the convenience store you will click "clean the floor", "clean the table", "organize the shelf" a few times, and that will conclude your working day. No puzzles, no challenges, no risk of failure, no surprises.

a play test you have to pay a gigantic company to do for them
