No Explicit Sex Scenes in inZOI: Game Developers Confirm

The lead developers of the highly anticipated life simulation game, inZOI, recently engaged with fans to clarify some intriguing aspects of the game. When quizzed about the inclusion of sexual intercourse, the assistant director provided a notably ambiguous response, carefully avoiding direct mention of "sex." The gist of the answer suggested that while male and female ZOIs might retreat to bed with the intention of procreation, the visual depiction of this act would be left largely to the player's imagination.

Perhaps that’s exactly what’s happening, but not at the level everyone expected.

This leaves players in the dark regarding whether the approach to this sensitive topic will mirror the censorship seen in The Sims series or if inZOI will introduce a novel method.

Furthermore, the developers shed light on the decision for ZOIs to shower in towels instead of using pixelated censorship. They explained that this choice aligns better with games featuring cartoonish graphics, whereas in a game striving for realism like inZOI, pixelation could come across as overly sexualized. They also revealed a technical issue where the pixelation failed to appear in mirror reflections when a naked ZOI was nearby.

For those curious about the game's content boundaries, the ratings assigned provide some clarity. inZOI has been rated ESRB - T (for teens) and is expected to receive a PEGI 12 rating. These ratings align with those given to The Sims 4, suggesting a similar approach to content moderation.
