Hello @KjunKjunKjunKjun and the InZoi Team,
first of all, a huge thank you for your incredible work on InZoi!
You can really feel the passion and detail in every part of the game.
While playing, I came up with a few ideas that could make the experience even more comfortable, realistic, and creative for all players.
1. Manage Mods Directly In-Game
-
Ability to enable or disable mods during gameplay.
-
Download new mods from the Workshop without returning to the main menu.
-
Mods become instantly available, allowing smoother creative sessions.
Benefit: Creative play sessions would flow naturally without interruptions.
2. User-Friendly Cheat Menu
-
Cheats like “Add Money,” “Unlock Objects,” or “Speed Up Time” available via an in-game interface.
-
No console commands needed — just clear buttons and toggles.
Benefit: Fewer barriers and more freedom, especially for players who love building or experimenting.
3. Building & Expansion Improvements
Expandable Lots:
Allow players to freely expand their lots, perfect for large builds or detailed projects.
Build up to or over sidewalks:
Buildings could extend right up to the street or even over it — with balconies, bridges, or terraces, while pedestrians walk underneath.
Buy neighboring lots:
Let players purchase adjacent lots. Once bought, the existing building disappears, leaving a buildable area for expansion.
Freer pool placement:
Pools could be placed anywhere — next to buildings, across levels, or seamlessly connected to terraces.
Stable editing system:
Sometimes foundations or decorations disappear while editing. It would help if existing structures remained stable during adjustments.
Workshop and save improvements:
When reinstalling, custom textures and Workshop items are lost.
→ Automatic Steam Cloud backups for both personal creations and subscribed Workshop items would prevent this.
→ A “My Subscribed Items” tab in the Workshop would allow players to re-download everything at once after reinstalling.
4. Flexible Hiring of Cleaning Staff
Instead of one-time cleaning services, players could hire cleaning staff for longer periods (e.g. a month) so they come regularly without rebooking.
How it could work:
-
Players choose whether cleaning happens daily, weekly, or on specific days.
-
Cleaning staff can be dismissed anytime, but if canceled mid-month, the full month’s fee still applies.
Benefits:
-
More convenience and realism — no constant rebooking.
-
Flexible planning — players decide when cleaning happens.
-
Clear, fair system — simple and transparent payments.
This would make property management smoother and more immersive overall.
5. Custom Radio Station for Player Music
It would be amazing to have a custom radio station that lets players enjoy their own music in-game.
For example, there could be a folder like Documents/InZoi/Music, where players can drop their favorite songs. These would then play via a “Custom Radio” station while driving, building, or relaxing.
Benefit: Players could enjoy a personal, emotional soundtrack while playing, making their world feel truly unique.
6. Why These Features Matter
-
More realism: Cities and homes feel connected and alive.
-
Greater creativity: More tools and freedom for players.
-
Improved stability and saves: No more lost content.
-
Personal immersion: Own music, flexible tools, and smooth workflows.
-
Long-term motivation: Continuous goals and creative expansion.
Thank you so much, @Kjun, for being so open to community ideas and feedback.
Your dedication and passion make InZoi stand out as one of the most promising creative simulation games today.
