In one of the patchnotes to update (v0,4,0) the developers notified about changes in the length of the day and a change in the system of responding needs.
Honestly, I’m not sure if such a long process of eating is an error and bug. But it’s brings annoyance and discomfort!
It doesn’t matter, if the length of the day set at 24 hours or 48 minutes, Zoi start Eat in 8-00 am & finished in 8-30 am. It’s takes 30 minutes in virtual world. But in 24hr length it 30 real minutes of my life. & in 48min length it 60 seconds (1 minute)
It’s very loooooooooooong!
In this logic, the character should stay in the toilet for 10-20 minutes, and take a bath for 3 hours. For 3 REAL hours! (NOOOOOO!!!) Please fix this action to run at 1 minute in 24hr length, like it’s takes a time with 48min length.
I forced to ignore half of the mechanics in the game and forced to supply the hunger needs with donuts. Also I forced to use cheat code “FreezeAllNeeds” always
Thank you for reporting this again.
Me and a lot of other players complained about this one, and to be fair it’s now OKAY in the 48min/96min.
But the 4hrs and the 24hrs (as per your finding) is still busted.
In general, I don’t deny that we humans in real life take food for quite a long time. I take shower for 1 hr. I know girls, who does it for 3 hr! But me personally don’t need this “hyper REALISM“ at inZOI!
Honestly, I’m not sure if is it a bug or ingame mechanics. But it’s annoys me
When I eat dinner it usually takes about 5 minutes unless I’m cutting meat, but also there’s a couple slow eaters in my family that will take up to 30 minutes, most of us take 5-15 minutes to eat a full course meal.
I do eat faster than most people, 15 minutes sounds like a good average time for eating
Drinking is completely different irl, I have a bottle of water that lasts about 4 hours on average, I also have juice or hot coco that also lasts about 4 hours on average, the drinking system in inZOI will probably never have that type of reality of drinking some and drinking more later.
I found a mod (optimized for 4h) which sets eating time to 10 minutes.
To be fair, it’s a tad too short in 96min, but 10min in a 4h game is long enough and the mod is a godsend.
I hope they re-adjust this eventually.
I do not play 4h games much now because concentrating on ONE family.
But if I ever re-play my multi-generation family, I have 6 households to manage just after the first generation, and would appreciate the 4h getting properly fixed by then.
They need to fix the generation length before I seriously play another game like that though.
The 42 days to young adult + 1st baby (if you dont waste a single day) is really wrong.
But one thing leads to the next… Let’s hope they fix the first step at least !
I’m not talking about real life! And about the game!
I don’t know how you feel about such a long-time satisfaction of the needs of the characters in the game.
But personally, I don’t need such “realism” in the game.
According to this logic, if you follow realism, character must sit in the toilet for 15 minutes, & must take a bath for 3 hours)))
No one needs a simulator of eating and going to the toilet!)))
The meaning of life is to see how sin kills and destroys and to learn why it is very important to follow the LORD’s ways, if we was all born in heaven we would have all sinned and been casted out, so this is our bootcamp
Setting aside existential questions: I agree with the OP. Eating takes way too long on any day length setting other than 48min - it’s not quite as broken as it was in the November update, but it’s still too long, and lets me get 2-3 meals out of each plate on a 96-minute day. Previously the animation took 15 in-game minutes on the 96-min day setting, which was pretty much perfect. This animation length should be a fixed setting for ALL day lengths - after all, the whole point of playing on a longer day is to allow more time for your Zois to do stuff, which becomes pointless if the animation lengths are stretched out to match.
-Eat quickly/ in a hurry
-Eat normally
-Eat slowly (and enjoy every piece of the food)
Sometimes we need to eat fast sometimes we like to eat slowly so maybe it would be nice to make such options in inzoi too? What do you think? It could be same for bath or any other action.
Maybe someone would like the idea of having a choice between a short and a long-time interaction.
But personally, I’m not a fan of this side of life simulator games.
Personally, I generally ignore all the physiological needs of the Zois, and don’t waste my time on them. I’m interested in other content in the game.
I like to create the stories, like as a screenwriter or a film director. Tell me, how many movies have you seen where the Main Characters eating for 30 minutes?!
But, I’m repeat, maybe someone would like this idea with a short and a long-time interaction
