“ Due to compatibility issues, some new features and content will be unavailable on preexisting save files.”. Please, for the love of God. Work on that.
I have spent hours working on the city, customizing every corner of it and it hurts that if we want to enjoy the new updates at its fullest, we have to start all over again. It doesn’t make sense and it kills the vibe. I was so happy that I could take my existing Zoi to Cahaya and enjoy everything but apparently it will be limited. That sucks and shouldn’t happen.
Based on my experience in early access games, I would actually advise against doing that. For instance, in Baldur’s Gate 3, everyone had to start from scratch on the first day of the full game release because save files were compatible.
For early access game, personally I don’t mind every major updates we have to start a new save. I understand the game is unfinished and many things are going to be replaced, not just simply updated. Once multitasking came, I believe we need to start over because it overhauled or completely replace the old animation system. Old save files will conflicts with a lot of things in the programming and possibly broke the game.
Exactly, the numerous changes that are bound to occur in EA simply warrant a new save game. That’s why I suggested not investing too much time in that direction, because a lot is still subject to change.
Or at least, please, to soften the blow of these mandatory resets - let us save our Zoi families as presets with all their outfits, likes/dislikes, traits and desired life intact!
