would love to suggest a feature that I think would make family gameplay even better. When two Zois have a baby naturally, it would be amazing if after the birth cutscene the game offered a create-a-Zoi step for that baby, before the naming screen. Not to remove genetics, but to let players preview how the child might look at different life stages and maybe randomize different genetic outcomes from the same parents so players can choose the combination they like best. That way, you keep the emotional experience of pregnancy and birth. But, still have some creative choice, rather than being locked into a single roll. I think it would make family gameplay feel more rewarding and encourage more players to experience pregnancy instead of always creating in create a Zoi. Because while I was doing family gameplay I realises that I would like the best of both worlds to experience both pregnancy and the freedom of choice to be able to randomize the genetic outcome until im satisfied and its a bonus to be able to get a sneak peak on how the little ones will look in different life stages but of course at that moment the child will only be able to be added in the game as a newborn after you have seen the outcome hopefully you understand what I mean.
Wouldn’t it be even more interesting to see what the child will look like as they grow up rather than determining it right away? For me, that’s the intrigue! Even if it turns out that their appearance doesn’t match my expectations—later, during gameplay, I can try changing their hairstyle and hair and eye color (lens color is available for modification in standard mode), and for girls, I can experiment with different makeup… You can always play around with style to dramatically change their appearance. And to me, that’s even more interesting than immediately “sculpting” the randomly created child into someone perfect in every way.
If the result is categorically unsatisfying, even after all the changes—there’s always a cheat code for modifications that will let me fix any possible flaws through complete editing.
I wouldn’t really want this to be a permanent thing in the game. We already don’t have an actual birth, and this would make everything feel even more artificial. It should just be an optional feature that you can turn on or off.
Personally, I always look forward to the day when they become Adolescent. It’s so exciting, and it adds a lot to my gameplay.
yeah since, in reality parents don’t choose their child appearance, but then it could be nice if you can still turn ur new born baby to caz and modify them, but i guess it should be an optional as @Sephrenia said, because some players would want to intervene in their zoi child creation!
Heya​
You can already customize babies after birth with the customZoi cheat, so technically, we already have that option
