InZOI vs.The Sims 4: The Major Similarities and Differences

The Sims 4 and InZOI share a lot in terms of customization, storytelling, and gameplay, but have their fair share of differences as well.

The Sims 4 has released a new update that adds a total of 12 new things to the game. The Sims 4 update is completely free, and the additions are to the base game, so all users need to do is start up the game and the update should download, adding the items to the title. These items arrive largely with a Pride theme. A short video released by EA has demonstrated the new items, which include clothing, face paint, tattoos, wall decorations, and bedding. In all, The Sims 4 has added a new checkered button-up shirt, jean shorts, Pride-themed knee socks, Converse shoes, wall art, and bedspreads. The update also includes new options for face paint and tattoos.

Sims 4 Content Isn’t Stopping Now

After the reveal that The Sims 5 isn’t happening, EA and Maxis have shown that they’re committed to supporting The Sims 4. In addition to the brand-new content coming to the game, users can look forward to three kits arriving in May, which include Restoration Workshop, Golden Years, and Kitchen Clutter. Alongside the April 2 update, EA has also teased that more content releases like it will arrive throughout the year.

In addition to The Sims‘ series anniversary offering a good reason for The Sims 4 to get lots of new content, The Sims is now also competing with a newcomer in the life simulation genre. InZOI just entered Early Access, and players have been eager to check out what it has to offer. InZOI also announced that it will be releasing more frequent updates during the Early Access period than initially planned. The Sims seems to be taking the challenge in stride, even congratulating InZOI on its Early Access release. While promising, InZOI has a long way to go before it can come close to challenging The Sims 4 in terms of sheer content in the title, and even little releases like this one for will help to keep The Sims 4 one step ahead of the newcomer.
