    :round_pushpin:I have also seen these bugs in the gameplays of some youtubers!

  1. Not always, but sometimes when the female zoi talks to someone her voice suddenly changes for a moment to that of the little zoi! :girl:

  2. Very often, Zoi women pull out their portable mirrors and initiate the ā€œcheck your appearanceā€ interaction (ā€œMirror, mirror on the wallā€¦ā€). This happens regardless of their character trait, and the interaction can’t be cancelled. I can only wait for it to end. Maybe the latest update has made them all vain, lol :biting_lip:

  3. Edit: playing a little more today than usual i noticed that the problem also extends to the wall mirrors… the zois (women and men) continue to go there…

    Mirror, mirror on the wall…

This happens not only to women but to men too. Please make them stop!
Imagine a brutal man who constantly looks in a rose-colored mirror! It looks ridiculous and pathetic.

I have noticed there is one particular conversation option - I don’t recall which - which does result in the female zoi sounding like a child. Bizarre.

I have a married couple in my game with two female zois. The child voice thing happens in basically every conversation they have, when they do small talk. It’s so eerie.

Yes, it’s ridiculos but eerie too :joy:

Anyway, playing a little more today than usual i noticed that the problem also extends to the wall mirrors… the zois continue to go there… mirror, mirror on the wall… :red_apple:

With the baby voice it sounds like she says ā€œnanji.ā€ It makes me cringe. They do it with strangers as well.

That’s the one. Sounds more like she’s been sucking helium than a child’s voice to me!

Maybe Yoshimou is right, and it happens during small talk, which is constant - hence we get to hear it a lot.

I’ve never heard this in inZOI so I’m not quite sure if it’s a bug or a feature, but I’ve seen it a lot in Korean Dramas/shows and it’s called ā€˜Aegyo’ (acting cute) ^^’
It’s a big part of Korean Pop Culture

(Fun explanation on youtube)

If that was it, it would make sense in Dowon, but not in the non-Korean cities. But it seems only to affect female zois (so you wouldn’t hear it with your guys), and really does sound like they are on the helium…

It’s a game developed by a Korean Team and they added their touch :psycat_paw:
Even though the Sims Team added some local behaviors (the greetings and eating with chopsticks) for Mount Komorebi and Tomarang, for example, the Sims was still very american painted and some people didn’t like that either. I think being more open for other cultures can’t hurt.
Some think it’s cute, some not. But we shouldn’t judge the Team for adding their cultural touch.

No, I really think it’s a bug.

I agree with this, and honestly have no issue with it at all. But why are only females affected? Most of the images you supplied were actually guys being cute, so why do males not do this too?

Also, if it was intentional, why does the participating zoi not change expression or animation or do anything, well, cute? They just literally say one word in a high pitch, that’s it.

Hi everyone, @here
could you please send us a save file or a video recording so that we can take a closer look at this issue? Just a heads-up, videos should be under 30MB due to the file size limit. Thanks!

  • Game Version: 20250910.7320.W

  • Platform: Steam windows

  • Mods: Removed

  • Hardware Specifications & Operating System (OS version, CPU, GPU, RAM, storage…): N/A

  • Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Have an Adult female-frame Zoi interact with another Zoi
  2. Let small talk play out.
  3. Repeat Steps 1-2 until you hear the incorrect audio clip of a child Zoi. It doesn’t happen every time.
  • Details: My Adult, Female-Framed Zoi occasionally sounds like a little kid during the ā€œSmall Talkā€ filler conversations that occur between main social interactions.

    • I’m unsure if this occurs with the Teen, Young Adult, or Elder life stages because I’ve only noticed it with my female Adult Zoi so far.

Video of the Audio Glitch:

This has been reported by a few people. I really don’t like the baby voice; it puts my teeth on edge. Hopefully, it’ll be gone with this month’s update.

I don’t think this is a bug but a feature. I believe voices are intended to sound like that during small talk, maybe it is something culturally related. I do hope in the future we get more voices to choose from.

But I’m pretty sure I’ve heard the exact same voice clip from my Zoi’s child during social interaction. Is it really intentional or just a misplaced audio clip? My Zoi’s didn’t start doing it until an update. But eh, if it’s not a bug, alright, it’s just kinda unsettling to suddenly hear my Zoi talk like that during interactions.

I searched ā€œsmall talkā€ to see if I could find anyone who reported it, but I couldn’t. I just searched ā€œbaby voiceā€ instead since that’s what term you used, and I found one post that mentioned it in a list of other things, but the mod didn’t respond after asking people for a video, so did no one send one in?

I can’t find any other posts mentioning it than that.
