No Explicit Sex Scenes in inZOI: Game Update Confirmed

The lead developers of the highly anticipated life simulation game, inZOI, recently engaged with fans to clarify some intriguing aspects of gameplay. When queried about the inclusion of sexual intercourse, the assistant director provided a notably ambiguous response, skillfully avoiding direct references to "sex." The essence of the answer suggested that if a male ZOI and a female ZOI were to go to bed together, the intention might be to create offspring, but the visual representation 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 uncertain about whether the depiction of sex in inZOI will follow the censorship style seen in The Sims series or if a novel approach will be introduced.

Furthermore, the developers shed light on the decision for ZOIs to shower in towels rather than using pixelated censorship. They explained that pixelation tends to fit better in games with a more cartoonish aesthetic, whereas in a game striving for realism like inZOI, such censorship can inadvertently appear overly sexualized. Additionally, they revealed a technical issue: when a naked ZOI with pixelated censorship approached a mirror, the blurring effect failed to appear in the reflection.

In fact, much of the ambiguity surrounding these elements can be resolved by examining the game's ratings. inZOI has been rated ESRB - T (for teens) and is expected to receive a PEGI 12 rating, aligning with the ratings assigned to The Sims 4. These ratings provide a clear indication of the game's intended audience and the level of content players can expect.
