I wish a photo mode inspired by Paralives

I captured Paralives photo mode because visuals are always better than 1000 words, we have barely the same photo mode in inZOI, so I’m 100% sure that you can add everything like Paralives, this ability to grab ZOI, this freecam too, this access at all animations of the game WITHOUT mods – watch this video please and think at it

Please make storytellers happy, team :smiley:

ps : there is only 1 para in this video but if there are multiple, we can click on all of them to grab them too, change poses, etc, and when quit photo mode, they all return at their position where they was in livemode

That’s great, but it still implies a limited set of poses to choose from. Dozens, if not hundreds. And you have to study all of them beforehand, trying to remember which one will look like what we need. Compare that with the ability to simply grab the body, arm, or leg and position them as needed, give the face any emotion you want, and then create your own preset based on that:

Your idea is great but perhaps not possible in inZOI, and it asks the devs for more work when the one I propose is something inZOI already has. Our inZOI photomode is similar to the Paralives one, so they have just to add some things

And having a big list of animations isn’t a big thing; you don’t have to remember everything; just read and choose. It looks like this code: ///moviemakerCheats enabled [true|false]/// in Sims 3, which was permitting us to open an interaction panel with all animations of the game

Within the UE engine framework, my variant is quite possible :slightly_smiling_face:

But in any case, I agree with yours too — as long as there are more possibilities for storytellers. It’s just that right now it’s very difficult to be a “director” if you go even slightly beyond ordinary behavior :sleepy_face:

True, storytellers suffer, actually; for us to have an awesome life in inZOI we need some things they forgot since the beginning… XD This ability to grab Zoi’s (they have chosen to take inspiration from the statue of Sims 4, when Sims 3 as inspiration base was better → Paralives reproduces everything. Sims 3 had great, like, they were Sims fans; they know where they can have a look – the ability to have all animations of the game and… the last one… anchors points for the camera. The day we have all this, we will see a flood of machinimas in Zoi on YouTube. (and i forgot an easy way to make poses/animations.)

Listen to our call, inZOI team!!! :melting_face:

I have already recently written a topic about the photo mode. I’ll attach it here as an addendum. https://forum.playinzoi.com/t/topic/12906/3

Interesting ideas, if they take the things of Paralives (please give access to all animations of the game, please devs!!!) + your ideas, we can go on a very great tool.
