There is several items now not available to anyone unless they partook in events, got chosen out of a bunch of people. I don’t want to see this become a common thing. Or, if its going to be a thing, at least release a cheat or hack to obtain these items anyways. This game is e/a, its not the time to hide items behind stuff.

I totally support this. You know, I’m not the type of person who likes to enter challenges/events. What I love about games like Inzoi and The Sims is precisely the idea of playing alone and at my own pace, without deadlines or limits to achieve this or that. But I do want to have all the items in the game, or at least the ones my zois could be interested in. I think everyone should have equal access to said items without having to jump through hoops to get them, as happened with the Cahaya DLC, when I missed out on the beach tent because I didn’t participate in the event for which the tent was a reward. I understand that some people like and enjoy participating in contests, and I think that’s great, but it would be nice if, once the contest is over, the rest of the items were also available in some kind of store, where we could purchase them or something, I really wouldn’t mind having to pay for them. Or maybe we could obtain them for free in the long term by doing things in the game that don’t have a deadline or are stressful. Again, I got nothing against events or contests, I would just ask that this not be the only way to obtain the special game items, please.

I would expect to find such “events” in MMO’s, not SP games, so I agree.
Now, if there were a way to “earn” these items through game-play, that would be a different matter.

doing a quest to obtain items seems fine. that should be something that works regardless of your save though, so you don’t have to redo it every time you start a new family. they could add a reset button if you wanted to do them again.
or make them time-based where people unlock stuff by winning the contests, so they get it early but then they become available for everyone the next major update.

These two ideas are more or less what I was referring to. (In addition to paying, of course, which would be the last resort). Earning items without pressure, maybe not before everyone else, but at some point, or when we had the time. Some of us are not able to play every day, or rush to meet a deadline. So this would give us the chance to earn those items too.

I agree! I personally enjoy this type of event a lot and I think it gives InZoi its unique flavour, but I understand it can be frustrating for others so maybe next time devs can give people a cheat so they don’t want to play it?
Also, I agree it should work accross saves though, because repeating the event many times and with every family can become a “frustration mechanic”
