InZOI Drops Explicit Sex Scenes

The lead developers of the highly anticipated life simulation game, inZOI, recently addressed fan queries about the inclusion of intimate interactions between characters. When asked about the depiction of sexual intercourse, the assistant director provided an ambiguous response, carefully avoiding the word "sex." The gist of the answer suggested that while male and female ZOIs might share a bed with the intention of having children, the visual representation of this act would be left largely to the player's imagination.

Perhaps that’s exactly what’s happening, but not at the level everyone expected.

This leaves fans puzzled about whether the approach to intimacy in inZOI will mirror the censorship seen in The Sims series or if it will introduce a novel method.

Additionally, the developers explained the choice to have ZOIs shower in towels rather than using pixelated censorship. They noted that pixelation suits games with more cartoonish graphics, whereas in games with realistic styles like inZOI, such blurring can appear overly sexualized. They also revealed a technical issue: when a naked ZOI with pixelated censorship approached a mirror, the blurring did not reflect properly.

For those seeking clarity, the game's ratings provide some insight. inZOI has been rated ESRB - T (for teens) and is expected to receive a PEGI 12 rating, aligning with the ratings given to The Sims 4. These ratings suggest a level of content moderation similar to what fans might be familiar with from other life simulation games.
