I was so excited about the new travelling feature, as I was quickly needing some change of scenery while playing inZoi, and would have loved to be able to easily visit other cities to experience the whole game, without making a new save game or losing my relationships.
I saw in the developer video that it was implemented as a work-around right now, that you actually have to move out and can’t just visit new places, with several warnings about losing your history if you play rotationally in the meantime. It was mentioned they will revisit this in future.
I just want to express that I find this really important to revisit and improve please Travelling to experience all the other maps is essential to enjoy the game longer and have some change of scenery. I would also like to recommend to allow moving between worlds without losing relationships, just as you can do it in Sims 4, which keeps the game fresh - pretty please
Seconded. Subway stations should also allow travel to an offscreen “port” (airport, seaport, “psyport” or whatever works for the lore) that enables travel to other cities/towns/hotspots in more distant-feeling ways than more “nearby” locations. If a loading screen is tied to an in-lore airliner trip, that might actually be enjoyable to sit back and take a drink of water/energy drink/tea/etc. as your Zois “travel”.
Not sure if you have to move to do it but It looks like they added it in this update! A rudimentary system but it has a lot of promise! go to 15:56 of the video linked below from someone with early access.
You don’t lose your old house when you “travel”, you just have a house in a different city as well. If you start in Dowan and go back to Dowan, your house is still there, still yours, and all your relationships can pick up where they left off as long as you don’t change families and bring a different family back. the house you leave behind in Bliss Bay or Cahaya also basically is on pause and if you go back, you still have the house in Bliss Bay and/or Cahaya and whatever relationships you left behind were also on pause as long as you don’t change families. There’s just no progression on those locations in your absence. Its imperfect, but a work in progress.
