It seems we can forget about explicit sex scenes in inZOI

The developers of the upcoming life simulation game, inZOI, recently addressed fan questions, notably one regarding the depiction of intimate relationships. The assistant director's response regarding the presence of sexual intercourse was deliberately vague, leaving players uncertain about the game's approach.

Essentially, the implication is that intimate interactions between male and female ZOIs will occur, particularly if they retire to bed together, with the intention of procreation. However, the visual representation of this is left to the player's interpretation.

The statement suggests the developers are handling the subject matter differently than expected. Whether this means inZOI will feature similar censorship to The Sims series, or a novel approach, remains unclear.

The developers also explained the decision to depict ZOIs showering in towels instead of using pixelated censorship. They argued that this approach is more suitable for the game's cartoonish art style, while pixelation in a realistic style can appear overly sexualized. Furthermore, a technical issue involving reflections in mirrors further complicated the use of pixelated censorship.

The game's rating provides further context. The ESRB has rated inZOI as "T" (Teen), and a PEGI 12 rating is anticipated. This mirrors the rating of The Sims 4, offering a clue to the level of content expected.
