Inzoi character studio - A Zoi designed to look like Billie Eilish

Upcoming life simInzoilaunched a demo for its Inzoi Character Studio last night and, surprising no one, Sims fans who’ve been starved for any kind of alternative to the series that’s been uncontested in the space for decades are flocking to it—to the tune of18,000 concurrent players and rising. Not just for a change of pace either, because Inzoi really is gorgeous.

You can download the Inzoi Character Studioon Steam right nowand its demo runs until 9 pm Pacific this Sunday, August 25. Apparently lots of you stayed up later than I did last night to jump in and try it out right at launch because the creations are coming in fast. (Update:I now have someInzoi Character Studio tipsto help you find all its editing options.)

Lots of usual creations are showing up: celebrity faces, recreations of standard Sims characters, and of course the Shreks. Modders always have Thomas the Tank Engine and character creators always have Shrek.

Sims players are constantly chasing this realistic visual style with “alpha” styleSims 4 custom content. From what I’ve tried so far, Inzoi just has that shiny, hyper realistic look right out of the box which no doubt is attracting a lot of disaffected Sims players.

It’s not above critique though. Players have been experiencing crashing and DirectX errors that Krafton has been working to address today. As for the character creator itself, there are some longtime life sim assumptions baked in, like a real lack of facial hair options.

Inzoi’s full game launch doesn’t have a release date but is still expected in late 2024.

Three of Asus ROG’s fourth generation Slash bags float in a blue-magenta gradient void. The backpack, sling bag, and sleeve all feature a black all-over colourway with an indent design on the bottom left corner of each bag that looks a bit like tire tracks.
