when we say the zois need more personality, we mean more individuality: unique voices, distinct walking styles, unique interactions based on personality, personality-based idle animations and autonomy that actually reflects who they are

> Dear @Kjun and Developers ; Our Zoi’s have very low traits and we can only choose 2. Instead we can use a new system. As you get older a screen to select +1 trait may appear. But in total you can have a maximum of 5-6 traits. I’m give an example from this system ; Let’s have the right to choose +1 trait at every birthday celebration. Newborn ; It starts with only 1 trait. Toddler ; The number of traits can remain the same or increase by 1 when celebrating a birthday with a cake. Child ; It …

I agree, the voices, heights and walking styles would make a huge difference. They don’t have to be extreme, just noticeable.

Like having a zoi who always walks really quickly, knocking people out of the way, would be brilliant. Annoying, but brilliant.

i had proposed the same thing a while ago and it seems like they read it because they said they were going to implement a similar system. what i mean here is that the zoi needs to differentiate itself from the others, they all talk, walk, and behave the same.

I’ve started a separate topic about what you’re talking about. 😆

> Dear @Kjun Why don’t we have different voices for the Zoi’s? Why are the voices of women, men, and children all the same? This needs to change. Also their walks styles vary according to their mood. I’m leaving a few pictures below that you can get inspiration from.My inzoi gaming friends will agree with this opinion. I’m eagerly awaiting everyone’s comments. @Samuriko @HeinziDerHeld @Taibak @JoyIsFunner @Carnel @LeeLoo @Liessahl @mialuce66 @Brik

I also remember that, I think at the end of last year, they said they were going to implement different walking styles, then, like Canvas Town, it went silent.

You also need more traits and/or characteristics to create more personality, such as being ambitious, loyal in relationships, self-assured/confident, funny, brave, kind, friendly, family-oriented, geek, and a clearer distinction between being charming and being flirty. The traits and characteristics should lead to specific consequences, behaviors, and interactions, so that personality has a more noticeable impact on how Zois behave and interact with other Zois. For example, if a Zoi is loyal and already in a relationship, they should not flirt back with other Zois simply because someone flirts with them.

Here in my post suggestion on wishlist, I also bring up the need for attraction preferences, not only regarding physical appearance but also the personalities of other Zois, such as their traits and characteristics.

I agree too. At present it is difficult to tell whether it is a played zoi participating in a group conversation or an npc as they all sound the same. And of course everyone using the same walking animations is somewhat jarring and unrealistic, too.

I hope that what we have now is placeholder, and in time more diversity will be added - in both these basics and in more fully realised personality types.

Well if they add the removed traits :

- Entertainer
- Volunteer
- Collaborator
- Dreamer
- Mediator
- and Social Activist (thought I think this one became Innovator, so maybe we’re not really missing that one).

And eventually rework a more distinct personality with traits, this would help. Maybe a bit more information at character creation as to what this trait will change/encourage in the zoi’s personality would be nice.

Then the characteristics. Most are bad or neutral. Very few are good. So we end-up with 8-14 zois with mostly picking 2 characteristics from the same small pool of either neutral(decent) or good ones. Even as I want to have 3-4 of those myself, we need much much more of them. Faithfull(or not) for one but many many others.

Only then would having to pick more (either right away or as the zoi ages like some suggested) would make sense.

Also someone whose opinions I highly value said on discord that those personality characteristics should be part of the traits. I mostly agree because not every Socialite will be cheerful. Not every “Scholar” will be a bookworm or a Genius. It’s good to have a bit of customability on top.

Different voices/walking styles would indeed be interesting. I suspect those would take time and they want to focus on finishing a version of the game first. And I do believe fixing bugs / adjusting needs and each of the time/day time is far more important… And quite overdue.

The flirting and cheating issue is a longstanding problem. The dev team did say they would address it, but I haven’t seen much of an improvement.

@LittleBrownBiscuit in my opinion zois should be faithful by default and there should be a personality trait like “cheater” or “unfaithful” to handle their romantic autonomy

@Federica I agree, it’s an ongoing problem. There have been a lot of complaints about this.
