You could say I’m a macOS advocate. Therefore, my wishlist is simple: add the SmartZOI AI to the macOS version or an alternative version.
Hi Andres!
How did you find out it’s not available for Mac? It’s truly a nice touch to make the Zoi’s come to life, so it would be a pity if it were not included in the launch version.

Well, considering that the current version of this technology is powered by NVIDIA ACE, I wouldn’t be surprised if this feature is initially omitted. However, I would be surprised if they indeed actually create an alternative version or some sort of cloud-based version.
Hmm I see! Haven’t really looked into how this feature worked, I actually believed it was linked to an OpenAI API key lol
Hehe, the more you know! They have a website available that explains in more detail, and InZoi is featured.
True that!
Thanks for sharing the link, I’m totally checking it out right away haha
To be quite honest, if it ends up in our version, I’m delighted. It’s simply a game-changer for gameplay.
I mean, look at this! ![]()
NVIDIA ACE | inZOI - Create Simulated Cities with Co-Playable Characters
That’s truly groundbreaking gameplay imo, don’t really understand why there’s so much backslash for using AI in-game.
It’s not like it’s a fully AI-generated game lol
Exactly! I would love to have that groundbreaking technology next week. So, call it a gut feeling. Anyway, I mean, the fact that the lady went to the store and gave food to a homeless person on its own. ![]()
Great Post
Thank you! I’m just looking out for Mac users ahead of the game release, hehehe.
Yeah, that’s crazy right? Imaging coding those interactions manually ![]()
-I’m back! Apparently there’s rate limiting in place lol
Well, that’s a weird limit ![]()
Not to sound ignorant, but what is SmartZOI? I’m new, and will be playing for the first time August 20th. Oh please never mind my question. I see the imbedded video in a replay under this post. WOW. ![]()
It’s truly an amazing tech, hope we get to enjoy it on Mac.
Same I hope so too
Looks like this is the App Store discount!
It’s available on the Mac Store. It was a bit of a couple of minutes of delay. ![]()
I didn’t realize it was coming to the MacOS until I saw your post, and I also didn’t know about smartZOI either. But I am surprised and very happy to say it is in the Mac version. AI Texture generation is also there. ![]()
I’m glad I saw this post! I’d assumed that SmartZoi didn’t work on Macs, but after seeing this I tried it today and was excited to find that it works on my M4 Mac Mini! I haven’t noticed any negative effects on performance so far, though I’ve limited the inner thoughts to just my played household.
