Summary of Features Coming with The New InZOI Update This Week

The InZOI Update to mark one year into the game’s Early Access phase is dropping this Thursday, March 26 2026, and will come with a wide variety of fixes and features, some on the newer side and some that have been planned for quite a long time. Many of these features are focused on the simulation itself and the fluidity of it, adding new gameplay features to keep things interesting, and making the world more dynamic and everchanging, both in positive and negative ways.

The InZOI update will also likely automatically disable any mods installed, and while we generally don’t have specific guidance for updates with mods as they tend to be fairly stable and the modding community is quite small, early access can bring a wide range of changes that can often make getting attached to save files a battle.

Summary of Features Coming to the InZOI Update on March 26th 2026

The Sims 4 Ravenwood World Guide and Points of Interest

Welcome to The Sims 4: Life and Death Ravenwood World Guide

Ravenwood comes with The Sims 4 Life and Death Expansion Pack that was released in November 2024. This unique world where ghosts are real and afterlife is a part of everyday life, it gives a mix spookiness, history, and beautifulness at the same time. Let’s explore what this mysterious world has to offer. Boo!

Built With Community Collaboration

Real Sims builders continue to make the worlds feel more alive! This time, four talented content creators helped build Ravenwood. Be sure to check them out through their social links below.

  • Sofythesim – Specter Family Manor, Mourning Mist Manor, and HeadlessQuarters.

The Sims 4 Ravenwood World Overview

Things always get a little spooky in Ravenwood. The Whispering Glen with its nightly Moon Revelry festivities is perhaps the most “normal” part of the area, where locals have settled down for a slice of quiet, country life. Crow’s Crossing village, however, is clearly quite haunted—swings swaying by themselves, that Merchant fellow down by the Crypt, scary little Edith guarding the Well of Longing and Regret…but despite the hauntings, the living have certainly made it their home as well with a variety of festivals and places to explore. Mourningvale is where things get extra ethereal! It’s well known as a home for Ghosts and those seeking them. Sometimes Grim even stops by!

Ravenwood includes a total of 13 lots, 8 residential, 3 community, and 2 empty lots. Plus one hidden lot. It is built inspired by real places in the Balkan region, especially Romania’s medieval towns.

District: Crow’s Crossing

Crow’s Crossing is a village founded by Moppy the Goat and rumored to be frequented by Ghosts and regular hauntings. Visit the Mysterious Merchant in the old Specter graveyard, investigate the Tarot Tome Shrine on the edge of town, explore an abandoned house, or grand a wish at the Well of Longing and Regret. Just watch out for Edith!
Crow’s Crossing hosts a variety of Festivals:
– Try Before You Die Casket Sale
– Crow’s Crossing Celebration of Life
– Ravenwood Family Day
Be sure to check out the Town Hall for more information.

TS4 x64 2026 03 21 20 13 33 634

Crow’s Crossing is the centre of Ravenwood, and is mostly built inspired by the Romanian medieval town. It have 5 lots that are surrounded by nature and trees in pretty autumn colors. This town is full of history, with many features your Sim can interact with and read about. The buildings are old and unique, and they feel like they have been there forever, each holding its own stories.

Lots & Lot Sizes

  • Specter Family Manor
  • Crow’s Perch
  • Old Ravenwood Estate
  • Moppy Manor
  • Eternal Hollow

Specter Family Manor

For decades, this home has housed the Specter family, but now its history is closely tied to Olive Specter, a widow many times over. This house, sits almost like a crow on its perch watching the Specter cemetery below and waiting for yet another skeleton to join the closet. (Or in this house’s case, maybe the basement…)

Crow’s Perch

Nestled at the highest vantage in the village, this historic building is the perfect home for any family hoping to get the full Ravenwood experience. Head down to the village square to enjoy any of the three local festivals, explore the abandoned houses, or stop by the haunted playground and introduce the kids to Freddy, everyone’s favorite specter.

Old Ravenwood Estate

Everyone in Ravenwood knows about old Ravenwood Estate. It’s one of the oldest buildings in the village, though it’s been vacant for years. Locals whisper about its regal but oddly overbearing presence, the once fastidiously-tended garden turned wild, and the lovely abandoned greenhouse on the estate’s grounds. Rumor has it this was once the summer home of a powerful Spellcaster and Tarot reader long ago. If a Sim comes along who can get past the flickering lights, foreboding sounds, and other inexplicable happenings inside, they’ll have quite the fixer-upper…

Moppy Manor

Another Ravenwood historical building that boasts a fascinating past. This home was originally built for Moppy. Yes, the goat. It’s now vacant and the perfect home for any Sim moving to the region. There’s lots to do and plenty of goat-laden architecture to ponder. Just don’t be too unsettled if the Moppy statue’s eyes glow at night…or if lights start flickering in the abandoned houses next door. It’s all part of the aesthetic.

Eternal Hollow

Eternal Hollow is Ravenwood’s primary Cemetery. The main building is an intimate locale to say goodbye to the recently passed, and with plenty of graves and crypts still open, it’ll continue to be a popular location for burials for years to come.

Whether a Sim is spending their forever here or just visiting, they will certainly feel at home in Eternal Hollow.

With its eerie charm, this lot promises potential for any brave mortal ready to make some Ghostly friends or any Ghost ready to start fresh in the life beyond.

The Sims and Lofi Girl Drop a New Album on All Platforms!

As many members of The Sims Community likely already know, the Sims and Lofi Girl teamed up yesterday and quietly posted teasers for some sort of collaboration, though they did not provide details to tell us what that collaboration is. However, today, a Sims Lofi Soundtrack was released quietly on Youtube by Lofi Publishing, the company behind Lofi Girl, with 25 videos in their standard musical style mixed with classic The Sims entry songs.

sims lofi soundtrack

Although we still have not gotten official word from The Sims Team or the Lofi Girl team, it seems that the collaboration revealed yesterday includes a Sims Lofi Soundtrack! Taking music tracks from series entries both new and old, the playlist has 25 videos posted on March 22nd, with planned publishing today, March 23rd.

Sims Lofi Soundtrack RELEASED

Officially titled “Lofi Girl x The Sims – cozy music to feel ooh be gah!“, the playlist has 25 videos and soundtrack entries published yesterday that includes songs from the mainline Sims entries and multiple spin-off series like MySims. Some standouts that will likely be recognizable for many players include the very first entry, The Sims 2 Theme, as well as The Sims 3 Theme and other themes from MySims, MySims Kingdom, and more!

sims lofi girl collab

This collaboration seems to be primarily appealing to the rise in popularity of lofi, relaxing, and instrumental music that lacks lyrics that some may find distracting, while also cashing in on the nostalgia of earlier entries of The Sims and earlier console spin-off series of the 2000s and 2010s.

The Track List

While we don’t know if this is the end of the collaboration, or if we can expect something in-game or otherwise, all we currently know is that the full track list includes 25 songs, all ranging around two to three minutes long or so.

  • The Sims 2 Theme – 2:43
  • Some Assembly Required – 2:35
  • Consumerism Simplified – 2:47
  • Bossa Da Neeba Doo – 2:45
  • The Sims 3 Theme – 2:26

  • Waiting For – 2:34
  • Groove on – 2:53
  • It’s the Sims – 2:31
  • CASa – 2:47
  • MySims Kingdom Theme – 2:36
  • Test Card 68 – 2:34
  • Sim Time Sim Place – 2:31
  • Podie Tie – 2:37
  • Mayzie Grove – 2:48
  • Obrayzow – 2:45
  • Love is True – 2:56
  • Makeover – 2:33
  • Candy is World Famous – 2:26
  • Builder – 2:43
  • Enchanted by Nature Theme – 2:47
  • Chocolate – 2:35
  • In My Head – 3:14
  • Sweet Animal Island – 2:32
  • Sims Straight Ahead – 2:22

Have you given the Sims Lofi Soundtrack with Lofi Girl a listen yet? As far as we’ve seen, it’s available on most of the popular music platforms including Youtube, Youtube Music, Amazon Music, Apple Music, and Spotify.

As we head into a very uncertain era of the mainline Sims franchise and the series as a whole, make sure to keep up with The Sims Community while we keep you in the loop about any future collaborations and celebrity appearances we’ll see in the near future!

Paralives Team Reveals Modding Tools, Instructions and Main Menu

6

Plus, a first look at the Paralives Main Menu!

Paralives Modding Wiki Release

Smack dab in the middle of the few months between Paralives old release date in February and the new release date in May 2026, the development studio and developers themselves have made a very active effort to show how they’re using that time to improve the game for Early Access launch.

600px 2026 02 18 CreatinganItemwithMultipleColorsandMaterials3

As modding and modders for Paralives was something they’ve discussed wanting to support and make an essential part of the community and playerbase surrounding Paralives, they have now begun to build an official Paralives Modding Toolkit, providing guides to modding in specific items, pointers, and tips to make the process smooth for all the new players and modders looking to dip their toes into Paralives in May. This is a new section being added to the in-progress and pre-existing Paralives Wiki.

600px 2026 03 16 CreatingTattoos3

These resources are still somewhat under development, and the Wiki itself includes mentioned tutorials that are still being written, and will likely not be linked on the Wiki until they are fully fleshed out and closer to launch. However, so many tutorials have already been created, from overall fundamentals like just creating a new item or uploading to the Steam workshop, to specific fine details of making custom content.

Tips for Modders

  • If you are unsure how to mod something, you can open the Control Panel and find out how game content was set up and integrated.
  • Press Ctlr+F2 at any time to open the Control Panel
  • Use the Console (Ctrl+F1, Console mode) to see if your mods cause errors or exceptions in the code. No red errors should appear in the console.
  • If something doesn’t work, try restarting the game. Some changes in settings may break game data, but work after a game restart.
  • Lists of elements in the Control Panel can be searched and re-ordered.

Limitations of the Official Modding Tools

Paralives’ official modding tools are all about editing existing game content, adding new content, or removing content from the base game. The modding tools do not support scripting to create features. Official script mods are under consideration by the development team, but are not confirmed.

While almost every piece of game content can be modded, some things are not moddable:

  • Interfaces: The layout, style, and colors of the UI windows.

Paralives Modding Guides

Creating a Basic Furniture Item – Paralives Modding Tutorial

1) Create the item

600px 2026 02 09 CreatingABasicPieceOfFurniture1

Find the Items tab in the Control Panel, under the Build category. Once in the menu, click on the + button next to All Items to add a new item. Scroll all the way down to find the new item.

2) Name the item

600px 2026 02 09 CreatingABasicPieceOfFurniture2

Name the item in the Display Name field. Click on the little icon next to the field to open the Edit Translation menu. Make sure to also write the item’s name in the Translated text field.

3) Create a Prefab

600px 2026 02 09 CreatingABasicPieceOfFurniture3

Click on the little icon next to the None button of the Prefab field. This will prompt a pop-up to create a Prefab. Input the item’s name for New Prefab Name, and press OK to launch the Prefab Editor.

600px 2026 02 09 CreatingABasicPieceOfFurniture4

The default view in the Prefab Editor.

4) Add ItemMeshReference

600px 2026 02 09 CreatingABasicPieceOfFurniture5

To add a mesh, make sure to have the item’s Root selected, and select Add. From the pop-up menu that appears, search and select ItemMeshReference.

2026 02 09 CreatingABasicPieceOfFurniture6

When scrolling to the bottom, there should now be the ItemMeshReference section.

5) Select a FBX

600px 2026 02 09 CreatingABasicPieceOfFurniture7

Click on the button next to Asset Mesh to select the mesh. If the asset was imported properly, it should appear within the list.

6) Fit the bounding box

600px 2026 02 09 CreatingABasicPieceOfFurniture8

The item should now be inside the blue cube. The blue cube around the item is the item’s Bounding Box: it defines the size of the selection UI, how the item will snap to walls and other items, and whether the item is out of bounds. It should be fitted to the item. Click the GO button next to Set Edited Prefab Size to Mesh Size to get the box perfectly shaped to the item.

600px 2026 02 09 CreatingABasicPieceOfFurniture9

This is what the bounding box looks like when perfectly fitted to an item.

7) Add a surface

600px 2026 02 09 CreatingABasicPieceOfFurniture10

Add a surface to the item. This is the material that the item will have. Click the + to add a surface, then None to get a selection pop-up. Pick from the many surfaces already created in the game, or create your own (see Adding Texture Assets to Create Surfaces).

600px 2026 02 09 CreatingABasicPieceOfFurniture11

The surface chosen will display on the item.

8) Save your item

600px 2026 02 09 CreatingABasicPieceOfFurniture12

This wraps up the steps in the Prefab editor. Click Save and return to the Items page.

9) Add an item tag

600px 2026 02 09 CreatingABasicPieceOfFurniture14

The item needs a tag to appear in the Build Mode catalog. Click the + to add a tag, and click on None to choose a tag in the list. The tag will also give the item a base price, as well as some other settings on the back-end.

10) Add swatches

600px 2026 02 09 CreatingABasicPieceOfFurniture14 1

Last, the item needs swatches. The item from this tutorial is quite basic and made of a single surface/color. Pick an already existing Swatch Group like BasicWood, which sets up the item with already picked out colors for a wooden item. Set Swatch Color Zone Count and Swatch Thumbnail Type to OneColor.

The new item should now appear in the Build Mode catalog.

Creating a Clothing Item – Paralives Modding Tutorial

1) Add a new equipment

600px 2026 02 26 CreatingAClothingItem1

In the Equipment section of the Control Panel, under the Characters category, find Equipment. Click on the + sign to add a new piece of equipment, and scroll down the list to find it.

2) Name the new equipment

600px 2026 02 26 CreatingAClothingItem2

Name the new clothing item and select HumanAdult as Character Model. The other options can be used for toddlers or pets.

3) Add the mesh

600px 2026 02 26 CreatingAClothingItem3

Click on the + right to Meshes to add a mesh. This example uses HumanTshirtRoundCollar.

4) Add the mesh slots

600px 2026 02 26 CreatingAClothingItem4

Click on the + button to add Mesh Slot GUIDSMesh Slot GUIDS indicate where the garment is located on the body, and the game will replace the body part with the mesh. An underwear top, like a bra, can be added to hide the underwear for optimisation or when it’s visually more interesting.

5) Add the textures

This garment is a close-fitting top. In this scenario, there are two textures: a pecs version and a breasts version. The breasts version will have more shadows painted in the texture to help convey the idea of volume.

600px 2026 02 26 CreatingAClothingItem5

Click the + to add the required textures.

6) Add the pecs version

600px 2026 02 26 CreatingAClothingItem6

Select the texture for the pec version.

600px 2026 02 26 CreatingAClothingItem7

Select the type of equipment in the ZOrder Layer line. Each texture appears on the Parafolk in a specific order, with some able to overlap others, called the ZOrder Layer.

600px 2026 02 26 CreatingAClothingItem8

For the texture condition, select HasBreasts and leave the box unchecked since this is the pec version of the texture.

7) Add the breast version

598px 2026 02 26 CreatingAClothingItem9

For the breasts version, repeat the same steps, but make sure to check the last box.

8) Add equipment tags

600px 2026 02 26 CreatingAClothingItem10

Check the Visible In Catalog box to enable the new item in Paramaker. Click on the + to add a tag. Add as many tags as needed; these are the categories in which the garment will appear. For example, Tops is a main category, and CasualShirts is a specific category.

9) Add the Deformation texture map

The equipment is a t-shirt, and it needs to be a little stretched when breasts are equipped on the Parafolks, instead of following every curve of the body.

600px 2026 02 26 CreatingAClothingItem11

Select TextureMapHumanTopAlternate to indicate to the game which zone is affected by the clothing deformations.

10) Find the equipment in the Paramaker

494px 2026 02 26 CreatingAClothingItem12

Inside the Paramaker, go to the clothing item category; in this case, it’s Tops and CasualShirts. Find the clothing item at the end of its category on the list and click it to equip it on the Parafolk.

11) Generate the thumbnail

600px 2026 02 26 CreatingAClothingItem13

Hover the mouse on the thumbnail and Ctrl+Click to generate a new thumbnail.

Changing a Sound – Paralives Modding Tutorial

1) Select the current sound

600px 2026 02 17 Changing a Sound 1

2) Change the asset

600px 2026 02 17 Changing a Sound 2

For this example, let’s change the UISharedGeneralClick audio container which is the generic Click sound. Change its Audio Asset by clicking on the highlighted rectangle and typing the name of the desired sound. Then, select the sound in the list.

3) Test the sound

600px 2026 02 17 Changing a Sound 3

1) Open the Music audio container

600px Images Integrating a Music Track 1

Go to the Audio section of the Control Panel, under the General category. Locate the Music audio container and open it. It should appear at the top of the audio container list. If not, search for it with the search button.

Open the container of the desired game mode to add music inside. Then open the highlighted container if it’s set as RandomContainer.

Our Review of The Sims 4 Reader’s Nook Maker Pack

From a design perspective, the Sims 4 Reader’s Nook Maker Pack stands out as one of the stronger releases within the Marketplace so far. The overall aesthetic is cohesive, the textures feel polished, and some of the smaller details, like the coffee cup and clutter pieces, add a lot of personality to the set. Compared to other Maker Packs, this one feels more thoughtfully put together, with a clear vision behind it.

However, the pricing remains difficult to ignore. At 500 Moolas, the pack sits at the same price point as official Kits, which typically include more items and are developed within a different production pipeline. While it’s important to recognize that this is still custom content, the comparison inevitably raises questions about value.

Ultimately, the main concern doesn’t lie in the quality of the set itself, which is solid and even slightly more refined than other Marketplace releases, but in the broader system it exists within. As with other Maker Packs, the hesitation comes less from what is being offered and more from how and where it is being sold.

OFFICIAL TEASER: The Sims X Lofi Girl Collaboration Is Coming!

While the Sims 4 itself is currently heavily clouded in struggles and criticism from the new Marketplace, multitudes of game-breaking bugs, and just general community unrest, is anyone surprised that this was the time The Sims and EA decided to tease a new collab? Without warning on Sunday, March 22nd 2026, the Sims team social media accounts posted an uncaptioned teaser clip, teasing what seems like a… Sims Lofi Girl collab?

What/Who is “Lofi Girl”?

“lofi hip hop radio – beats to relax/study to” thumbnail by Lofi Girl on Youtube

If you’ve been on YouTube in the past decade or so, especially if you’ve been a student during that time, you’ve likely seen or heard of “Lofi Girl” a constantly available livestream account with a wide variety of videos, often with instrumental music playing in the background and anime girl focused on studying.

While initially, Lofi Girl was a channel with little outside of that initial livestream, the channel and company as a whole has expanded heavily. This includes multiple consistently running livestreams with a wide variety of genres, typically instrumental music to help with focus, different backgrounds and characters for contextual or seasonal differences, and many long-form videos made for specific scenarios.

Now instead of just being for studying, Lofi Girl has grown into a general “background music” channel, with videos intended to help people sleep, relax, focus on games, read to, and so many more scenarios. They also now have many large collabs with companies like the restaurant chain Panda Express, the 2025 video game releases Silent Hill f and Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and many more companies and brands over many, many industries and passions.

Sims Lofi Girl Collab Teaser

At 11:00AM EST on March 22nd 2026, The Sims Official X account posted a short teaser video, showing what looks to be the classic Lofi Girl, using the iconic “spinning around” animation found in The Sims series to change from pajamas into her everyday outfit, and a plumbob appearing over her head. The video ends with the date “3.23.2026”.

Only a few minutes later, an admin of The Sims official Discord server, posted an image taken from the video with the date pasted over it as well in the “Announcements” channel. Currently, no context or further details have yet been posted

What To Expect

sims lofi girl collab

According to the dates in both teasers, it seems we should expect something posted on Social Media by The Sims Team tomorrow, Monday March 23rd 2026, officially announcing and providing details of what this collab could be, although we don’t know exactly what it is currently. Some ideas we’ve considered and discussed have been an in-game Sims Lofi Girl radio station, a possible Sims Lofi Girl live event, or maybe a Sims Lofi Girl livestream, using iconic The Sims music for the background.

Though, nobody will know for sure until we hear more tomorrow.

Our Thoughts On Grandma’s Kitchen Heirlooms

This is a really cute decor set with loads of lovely items, and all of them would not look out of place in any real grandma’s kitchen. Realistic touches like a used teabag and spoon on a plate and plates of buttered toast are going to make any Sim’s home feel alive.

The swatches match reasonably well across all items, and the food decor looks good enough to eat.

Overall this is a lovely decor kit and one which will be getting a lot of use in my builds.


European Home Power Set by SixamCC

One of the more controversial maker kits offered, and, according to our marketplace poll, one of the least popular, SixamCC’s European Home Power Set has a selection of sockets and switches to make walls feel less bare and add a bit of realism to builds.

Our Thoughts On European Home Power Set

This is a smaller editon the marketplace, and if you have never dived into the world of custom content this is more than likely not going to be the first things you download or purchase.

However, these are the kind of small touches that make builds more realistic and feel more like a lived-in home. Plus, the fact that all of the swatches are identical across the items means its much easier to mix and match.

Whether it deserves the price tag of 200 Moola is another discussion.

Free InZOI Update Coming Next Week: New Business Types, Stealing Cars and MORE!

Edit: Corrected a typo on InZOI’s initial early release date!

The next InZOI update is just around the corner, and with less than a week away, the developers have not stopped the effort for transparency with the community and seem to be rapidly developing and planning to release new features.

inzoi update

Leading up to the InZOI March update, which will occur right around the 1st Anniversary of InZOI’s Early Access release, the development team have been actively developing features based on player requests, generally asking for a few overall things. More fluid gameplay, more family gameplay, and just more stuff to do. Vacations are fun and so can playing as a successful (or not so successful) criminal, but players generally have asked for more richness and depth to standard gameplay. This includes more ways to make money, more ways to interact with your Zoi’s family and friends, and more overall day-to-day gameplay to make Zois feel more alive and to allow players to connect with them.

The next major update for InZOI is Next Thursday, March 26th 2026, and is the last major update until InZOI has officially been in Early Access and released to the public for one year. The initial release into Early Access was March 27th* 2026, and came into the market with lots of hype but lots of uncertainty. Over time, the communication between the developers and the community of players has become extremely open, a stark contrast to the gaming industry currently as a whole, where many developers and large gaming companies are communicating less to players directly, or who are only communicating in very controlled settings rather than having an open discussion.

crafting

○ Any desk can now be used for crafting.

○ The steam and bath foam layers added when your Zoi is bathing has been updated.

○ Both the floor beds and floor tables shown in the previous update are being added.

○ VIP lounges are being added, expanding on the nightlife in-game. This will also include Crimson Flair, a beverage found at these lounges that is “probably completely non-alcoholic”.

○ Zois now ask for other Zois phone numbers, with success depending on their relationship.

○ An update to the feature being added of stealing cars, some cars will sound alarms when you fail to break in.

○ You can now open and run a small massage or spa business.

○ You can now open and run a small florist or flower shop.

○ You can now open and run a theater or cinema using a new large movie screen and popcorn machines, teased last week.

○ Local theaters are being added to cities so your Zoi can visit without you having to manually open one.

○ A new calendar system, which will show and include important events, seasonal festivals, and birthdays.

○ You will now be able to schedule and throw birthday parties, but only for Zois who are older than babies.

○ A small bath is being added specifically to bathe infants.

○ Infants and toddlers are now getting customization, allowing you to pick outfits for them in Create-A-Zoi.

○ We got more close-ups of the new clothes you’ll be able to dress your Zoi’s babies in, in Create-A-Zoi.

At the end of the video, Kjun specifically expresses how grateful the team behind InZOI is for the support they have received, the community that has grown from it, and the consistent feedback and communication between them and their players leading up to the one year anniversary of InZOI’s Early Access release.

InZOI Developer Update – March 20th, 2026

Hello,

I’m happy to announce that the development team has finally completed the March build today.

Of course, just because the build is complete doesn’t mean the work is finished. We still need to continue fixing bugs.

At the beginning of this year, we committed to completing a total of 32 items from the Fundamentals First (FF) list within the first half of the year, and fortunately, we were able to complete all of them. We’re truly glad we could keep our promise to you. ^^; That said, we’re not sure if we’ll always be able to meet expectations this perfectly going forward.

This March build includes around 60 major features, and we feel that the inZOI team has been working incredibly hard.

We have also made significant overall improvements to the graphics and increased the depth of existing life simulation content. In particular, we enhanced systems like Memory and the News Feed, allowing players to better understand the reasons behind Zoi behavior. Additionally, in celebration of inZOI’s birthday, we’ve added new birthday-related content.

However, looking back, there are still bugs to fix and some content that feels awkward, and memory optimization is not yet fully complete. In April, we plan to proceed with the engine update, further memory optimization, and additional modding support.

Rather than focusing on adding new features, we plan to concentrate more on bug fixes and overall stability improvements.

Since this build includes a large number of features to introduce, it took longer to fit everything into the video, which caused a slight delay in publishing.

We hope you enjoy this week’s update as well. Thank you, and have a wonderful weekend.

— Kjun

Standardized Property Sizes InZOI Update

At the end of the initial message attached to the diary, Kjun also posts a link to InZOI’s official website, explaining that it highlights changes to the sizes of properties already in the game.

P.S. Here’s the page explaining the Standardized Property Sizes, as I mentioned in the video

Property System Updates

Hello, Creators.

inZOI’s v0.7.0 update is scheduled for release on March 26. This update will introduce standardized property sizes to Canvas.

With these changes, Creators can expect to see the following improvements.

  • ○ Increased reusability for buildings created in different properties with identical sizes.
  • ○ Clearer indication of dimensions and orientation for improved preset usability.
  • ○ Easier browsing and downloading of presets on Canvas using the newly added Property Size filter.

Due to size constraints, buildings incompatible with updated property sizes may fail to load properly.

The following properties will be reduced in size.

  • Dowon – Junghwa Parkville (25.5x20m → 25x20m)
  • Bliss Bay – 203 Somerset Place (30x26m → 30x25m)

○ Bliss Bay 8 Beachfront Drive has been expanded from 22.5x15m to 25x20m. Please note that depending on the situation, repositioning of the previously placed lot preset after rotation may be required.

○ Properties not listed above will be expanded or rearranged. Presets based on these properties will remain unaffected by this update.

Creators are welcome to save any existing buildings as property presets prior to the update and reapply them afterwards.

All property presets will be saved automatically without requiring any additional action. Any buildings that fail to load properly following the update can be reapplied in Build Mode.

We hope these changes will help provide Creators with a better gameplay experience.

Thank you,

The inZOI Team

This Amazing Sims 4 Car Mod Brings Back The Iconic Supersportscar From The Sims 2

The modding community has once again stepped in to expand what’s possible in The Sims 4. While the base game still lacks functional vehicles, creators have continuously found ways to bring back missing features that players have been asking for over the years. In fact, in our previous coverage, we explored different ways Simmers were already trying to make cars work in their games. Now, one of those most promising ideas is finally becoming a reality.

sims 4 car mod

A new Sims 4 car mod by creator AlexCroft introduces a Supersportscar conversion, bringing back the iconic vehicle from The Sims 2: Nightlife with custom animations and interactions. The mod is currently in early access through the creator’s Patreon, meaning it’s still in a beta state and doesn’t yet include all planned features. However, even in its current version, it offers a promising glimpse at what fully functional cars in The Sims 4 could look like.

How The Supersportscar Conversion Works

The Supersportscar conversion is available in Buy Mode under the Transportation category, making it easy to find and place in your lot. The vehicle costs §5,400 simoleons and comes with 9 original recolors, staying faithful to its The Sims 2: Nightlife counterpart.

You can place the car anywhere on your lot, just like any other object. However, for better immersion and functionality, it’s recommended to position it close to a road.

The Sims 4 Car Mod Official Description

Do you feel you’re not measuring up in certain areas? That something in your life is coming up short? Make up for it with the revolutionary Hunka 711 from Hwang Motors. The Hunka is more than a car, it is an extension of you. Your friends will envy you. Your dates will swoon. In a world where bigger is better, you deserve to have the biggest one of all.

sims 4 car 1

Interactions Available

Even in its early beta version, the Supersportscar conversion already includes a set of core interactions that make it feel functional within The Sims 4.

Sims can Travel, Travel With…, or simply Get In the vehicle, allowing for basic use similar to how transportation works in the game. For players who enjoy personalization, there’s also the option to rename the car. Once inside, Sims can turn on the radio and adjust the music volume.

sims 4 car 2

When one or two Sims get into the vehicle to travel, the mod recreates the original animation from The Sims 2. Sims will start the car, merge onto the road, and seamlessly transition into a loading screen where you can choose their destination.

New: The iconic WooHoo interaction is now available! Sims can now have some fun inside the car, complete with the classic “shaking vehicle” animation that fans will instantly recognize.

A Lot Of Swatches to Choose!

The Supersportscar comes with a variety of swatches inspired by its original The Sims 2 design, bringing back that classic look with a modern touch. From bold, vibrant colors to more sleek and understated finishes, there’s a style to match every Sim’s personality.

Update: The creator has just released the well-known vehicle features from The Sims 2 Nightlife and The Sims 3: official driveways (coming with 4 swatches), and parking spots to park cars at home. And their functionality is the same! Don’t miss the opportunity to add one of the franchise’s most realistic and nostalgic features to your game.

And It’s Only A Beta Version

The mod could expand with features like driving to work directly, car alarms, and even additional vehicles, potentially giving players a wider selection to match different Sims, styles, and households. While the current version already feels like a strong foundation, it’s clear that the full vision for this Sims 4 car mod goes much further.

sims 4 car 6

Mods like this are a perfect reminder of just how far creativity and passion can push The Sims 4. What started as a game without functional vehicles has slowly evolved thanks to dedicated creators who continue to build on what’s missing. Bringing back an iconic car like the Supersportscar, complete with animations and interactions, is no small feat, and it deserves real recognition.

It also highlights something the community has been saying for years: the demand for cars is there. While it’s been suggested that vehicles were left out of The Sims 4 because players didn’t use them much in The Sims 3, projects like this clearly show there’s still strong interest in more immersive transportation systems.

Thanks to AlexCroft for giving us an early access copy of this mod!

It Happened. The Sims 4 Marketplace Has Been Cracked

The Sims 4 Maker Sets are already starting to sail the seven seas.

It’s only been 72 hours until the pirate community took the matter into their own hands and cracked The Sims 4 Marketplace.

What’s been known in The Sims 3 Store world as a “decrapified” package Store set is now also possible in the world of The Sims 4 Marketplace. We’re talking, of course, about illegally obtained versions of the Microtransaction sets.

mphome2

Let’s see what this means for The Sims 4 Marketplace:

The Sims 4 Marketplace Is Cracked

Just two hours ago an announcement has been posted on a, what appears to be, a reputable Discord server. For legal reasons we won’t be linking any direct sources to this server, but we can show you what they’ve said about cracking up the Marketplace. Spoiler alert – not everything is available right away. And the person who did The Marketplace crack is asking for donations to release the entire thing – “because I invested around $100USD in cracking the full marketplace” they’ve stated.

Read the full message below:

I’ve been locked in for the last 72 hours, and I have some huge news: I’ve officially cracked the new Sims 4 Marketplace update. My goal is to make this content accessible to everyone eventually, but to keep this project sustainable, I’ve decided on a new release model that benefits the whole community:

THE WEEKLY DROPS

Starting now, I will release one free Marketplace kit every Thursday (between 16:00 and 18:00 CLT / GMT-3).

  • Why Thursday? So you can have everything ready and tested just in time for the weekend!

COMMUNITY QUEST: GLOBAL UNLOCK!

I know many of you want everything NOW —and that’s totally okay. That’s why I’m setting a Community Goal (because i invested around $100 USD in cracking the full marketplace):

I will release the FULL Marketplace for FREE immediately. No more waiting, no more weekly drops. Once the goal is met, the gates open for everyone, regardless of the day!

The Sims 4 Marketplace Crack Announcement

The first Marketplace Set that has been distributed out into the illegal streets is The Sims 4 Snazzy Living Room Set. “Fully cracked, tested, and ready for your game!” says the new Discord message. Providing a download link to a cracked .package file of the Set, possibly installing the same way as the decrapified sets for The Sims 3 Store.

Screenshot 2026 03 20 at 20.31.11

EA currently hasn’t made any statements about the cracked versions of The Marketplace content for The Sims 4.


It was speculated in an Insider Rumor article last month that EA is “cracking down on piracy” with the attempts of releasing The Marketplace. But it took players less than a week to figure out how to distribute paid, Moola-exclusive content out for free. Illegally of course, which is why we don’t condone any of what was written about here.

I’ll leave this article with a quote from the great American poet and philosopher Sabrina Carpenter who stated the following:

Somewhere in the world, you got a robber and a bank
And the bank robbed the people, so the people rob the bank
And the police came to get him, but they let him get away
‘Cause they’re all just working to get paid the very same

Tired Of The Marketplace? This New Sims 4 Marketplace Removal Tool Is Here To Help

The mod cleans up your game by hiding all features relating to the Marketplace.

The Sims 4 Marketplace launched less than a week ago and players are already tired of it. Thankfully, The Sims 4 Marketplace Removal Tool by Just_Joe_ is giving players a way to play a Marketplace-free game. We recently covered an update to the Refreshed Main Menu mod which cleans up the game and hides Moola, but this mod is goes one step further and is focused on completely removing the entire Marketplace UI from your game.

the sims 4 marketplace removal tool fi

The response to the Marketplace has been mixed. Although there has been a positive response to some of the new content, the introduction of microtransactions and digital currency has left a lot of players annoyed, feeling as if they are being pressured by the game into purchasing content through the Marketplace. This is where the Marketplace Removal Tool comes in – the mod hides anything related to the Marketplace, allowing you to play without constantly being reminded of your balance or the content you could be buying.

No more Marketplace

Screenshot 2026 03 20 143023
The current Main Menu layout.

Currently, when you open up The Sims 4, the Marketplace is a major focus of the main menu, with your Moola balance showing in the top right corner. The Marketplace Removal Tool strips all of this, restoring the previous menu and letting players load their games without having digital currency and microtransactions shoved in their faces.

“No coins, no shop, no button, just gone” the mod’s creator Joe said in a TikTok. With the mod installed, the main menu is now free from adverts, the Moola wallet and the Marketplace tab on the main menu. Additionally, the shopping cart icon is also removed in-game.

Screenshot 2026 03 20 154704
The main menu with the Marketplace Removal Tool installed.

In the post mentioned above, Joe also explained his reasoning for making the mod, citing a few key motivations. Reflecting on the polarised audience response to the Marketplace, he explains that “instead of just talking about it again, [he] decided to try and do something different”, asking why, instead of complaining or arguing, we don’t just choose to get rid of the Marketplace if we don’t want it.

@justjoeshow I beat the Sims 4 marketplace, by myself. Now you can beat it too. #sims4 #sims4cc #ts4 #thesims #simsmarketplace #sims4cc #gaming #sims4mod #streamer #3dartwork #3dart ♬ original sound – Just_Joe_ | Streamer

Another reason for the mod was his own curiosity. “If you take away everything that the Marketplace put in, does it feel any different?” he asks, before answering that, for him personally, playing without the Marketplace feels “quieter, cleaner, and like you’re just playing the game instead of being sold something.”

How to download the mod

The Marketplace Removal Tool is available to download for free on Patreon.
To install, make sure you have mods enabled in settings, and then simply download the package file attached to the Patreon post. Once the file has been downloaded, you can place it in your Mods folder. If you are unfamiliar with installing mods, this folder can be found under Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4. When the mod is correctly installed, it will show up in your mods list, as shown in the screenshot below.

Screenshot 2026 03 20 162115

Please note that, at the time of publishing, this mod may cause conflict with other mods that remove elements of the UI, such as SimMattically’s Refreshed Main Menu and Remove the Cart Button mods. Joe stated on Patreon that a patch to fix these compatibility issues may be possible in the future.

While paid DLC is in no way a new thing for The Sims 4, the Marketplace feels different – more corporate – due to the fact the content is being advertised during gameplay, rather than just in the game’s store. With The Marketplace Removal Tool, players can enjoy the game again without feeling pressure from the repeated reminders of the content that they ‘should’ be buying.
