At the end of May 2025, the long-awaited inZOI ModKit will be released, bringing the first official modding tools to the game. The developers have also shared a roadmap outlining how modding features will grow throughout the year.

inZOI ModKit Preview

The inZOI ModKit is an official tool designed to make modding easy and accessible for everyone. It will be available for download via the Epic Games Store.

Key features include:

• Downloadable Assets: Basic outfit sets and furniture meshes (FBX files) and Json data will be provided. Players can adjust game mechanics through Json editing, like changing how fast a bed restores energy or how long a buff lasts.

• Blender & Maya Plugins: Official plugins will help modders import inZOI meshes into their 3D software.

• Unreal Engine Integration: Custom assets can be turned into mods using the Unreal plugin format.

• CurseForge Support: Mods can be uploaded and shared through CurseForge, with an in-game interface for easy discovery and installation.

inZOI Modding Roadmap for 2025

To build a strong modding community, three major updates are planned:

• May Update: Introduces tools for editing outfit sets, furniture, and game data using a user-friendly UI.

• September Update: Adds support for modding character features (like faces and hair), architectural elements (doors, windows, fences), and interaction content (conversations, voice, motion, rewards).

• December Update: Enables modding most outfits, editing interaction scripts, and using localization tools to create more diverse content.

An official modding policy with guidelines, monetization rules, and IP rights will be published on the inZOI website in mid-May. A ModKit AMA and feedback channel are also planned.

Game Direction and Upcoming Content

Developer Kjun recently shared insights on what’s next for inZOI:

The team has been working on improving build stability, emotional expressions, and the Karma system—core features for a believable life simulation. Players have started noticing more natural conversations and emotional responses, but the developers acknowledge there’s still more to improve.

The May update will focus on introducing modding tools and better asset creation support with plug-ins for Blender and Maya. The goal is to provide a strong foundation by December for all major modding features.

Looking ahead, a third city is in development. To enhance immersion, new small vehicles like motorcycles and vehicle customization options are planned, though animations may need further refinement.

The Karma system will be expanded with crime mechanics, including the ability for characters (Zois) to be caught and sent to jail, leading to new gameplay events. This will help create a more connected and meaningful experience.

There is also growing community interest in inZOI’s use of AI technology. The developers plan to address this in a future announcement, promising transparency.

While the game is still evolving, the team is committed to turning inZOI into a rich and creative life simulator. They continue to listen closely to community feedback.
