  • Steps to Reproduce:

After the April update, Zoi appear very orange in-game. They were always very orange indoors, but after updating, the Zoi are orange everywhere, at all points of the day. The intensity of the orange lighting has made it difficult to distinguish the facial features of certain characters.

Unedited photos of the same Zoi in Dowon at different life-stages, wearing different hair/clothing styles. These photos were taken using the “Realistic Filter”.

The same Zoi in the current in-game lighting vs. in Create-A-Zoi (CAZ) vs. the game lighting before the April update. All taken using the “Realistic Filter”. The difference is very noticeable.

I’m not sure if this was intentional, but I do hope that this can be adjusted or that players can be given the option to adjust the warmness/ intensity of the in-game lighting in the options.
