It seems we can forget about explicit sex scenes in inZOI

The developers of the upcoming life simulation game, inZOI, recently addressed fan questions regarding intimate interactions. When asked about the depiction of sexual intercourse, the assistant director provided an ambiguous response, leaving players uncertain about the game's approach. Essentially, the implication is that intimate interactions between male and female ZOIs, leading to the intention of creating children, will occur; however, the visual representation will be left to the player's interpretation. The statement suggested that the depiction might not be as explicit as some anticipated.

Consequently, the level of censorship remains unclear, leaving open the question of whether inZOI will adopt a similar approach to The Sims series or introduce a novel method.

The developers also explained the decision to depict ZOIs showering in towels instead of using pixelated censorship. They argued that towels are more suitable for the game's cartoonish art style, as pixelation in a realistic style can appear overly sexualized. Furthermore, a technical issue with the pixelation not appearing correctly in reflections contributed to this choice.

Ultimately, the game's rating provides further context. inZOI has received an ESRB rating of T (Teen) and is expected to receive a PEGI 12 rating—the same ratings as The Sims 4.
