I’ve been reflecting on the current age stages in inZOI and while the graphics and overall design are stunning, there is a noticeable lack of visual progression and scaling between different age groups. Right now aging up feels more like changing furniture rather than watching a Zoi grow.
“For a game aiming for realism having the same heights for Baby / Toddler and Adolescent / Adult Zois makes no sense.”
Here are a few key areas that could use a major overhaul ;
1. Toddlers vs. Babies
Visual Scaling: Toddlers currently look identical in size and facial features to babies the main difference seems to be moving from a crib to a toddler bed.
Animations: Toddlers need distinct physical scaling slightly longer proportions rounded features and unique, cute toddler animations (like a wobbling walk or playful interactions) to truly feel like a separate stage.
2. Adolescents vs. Adults
The Sudden Growth Spurt: On the flip side Adolescents jump straight into Adult proportions. They have the exact same height, frame, and body structure as full grown Adults. ( biggest area that needs to be corrected )
Proportions & Style: Adolescents should be visibly shorter with a more youth-like posture and body frame. Adding age specific features like braces unique youthful clothing styles or school accessories would make them instantly recognizable as teens without needing an outfit badge.
The actual realism lengths are as shown in the picture ;
I agree. It was especially weird to me when I created a baby in CAZ and they look exactly the same as toddlers. Toddlers should be in the age range of 2-4 appearance wise and not look exactly like the new born babies just with the ability to be outside of the crib
These are major problems for a game aiming for realism. An Adolescent cannot have the same height and body as an adult. Also there is no difference in body type between babies and toddlers in the game.
Babies and Toddlers are looking exactly the same and this does not make any sense. Only difference is that toddlers can walk and crawl around and play while babies are tied to their crib. This difference should be visually noticeable as well.
And Adolescents, Teenagers and all adult life stages are the same size. This is also very confusing. If we have a specific life stage for Adolescent there should also be something specific about them. At the moment it feels like an empty life stage. They look the same as Teenagers, they can do the same, they are the same size. There is no real point in actually having this life stages at the moment. Maybe there is something planned in the future though?
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to have a 4 year old, a 10 year old and a 14 year old, the closest that I see is the child, looks like 7 years old with 14 year old’s teeth smh
Yeah… I always assumed this was a place holder and would be revisited at a later time.
Newborn - Toddler - ( Preschooler ) - Child - Adolescent (adjusted size) - Teenager
Those in parentheses are new. So a preschooler stage (which is the walking toddler stage) and adjusted Adolescent would be awesome. Teenager I don’t really mind, but if we get something different, good.
Hopefully if we keep asking, they’ll revisit those age groups at somepoint.
Totally agree with all of you. A small but destinctive difference between newborn and toddler stage would be really nice for immersion purposes and realism. Obvious differences between the adolescent and teenager stage seem long overdue. They’re basically the same atm, excluding romance options
I definitely agree with this. What is the point of the adolescence stage? They’re essentially teenagers. I feel if they can’t do the stage justice, then maybe remove it? Because they do not look like pre-teens, and I’m sure when this life stage was requested, this is not what they had in mind.
Agree with all points. I have to mouse over most zois to find out what life stage they are at before my teen zoi accidentally makes friends with someone nowhere near her age. Sure, adults and above now look older (older than they should IMO, my middle-aged zois look at least 10 years older than I am for example), but as others have said here, there is no difference in height between adolescent and older.
Another issue with adolescents is that high school is full of them, the only actual teen is my zoi. And they are indistinguishable. Adolescence should be from 11-14 or similar, teens from 15-19. There should be a large and visible difference, as there is in real life.
A thousand times yes, I’m with you on this! I believe there was already a similar topic somewhere in the Wishlist – pretty sure @Mazikeen, you were the one who made it, but I might be wrong. I’m dreaming of different ages finally having realistic heights. It’s something the game really really needs! Hope the inZOI team pays attention to this, especially since they said they’d add a height slider.
I’m calling on all players who care about this issue to like this topic so Kjun notices it @Minthyuyu Hope this isn’t too cheeky of me, but is there any way we could upvote this topic on Discord? If that’s possible, and thanks in advance!
