The inZOI team has shared another weekly development update, revealing several exciting gameplay features currently in development alongside a detailed overview of the studio's long-term priorities.

Besides showcasing new content like vacation systems, vehicle modding, free diving, and farming improvements, the developers also explained how they plan to make every part of the simulation work together much more naturally while continuing to improve stability.

Here's everything announced this week.


📌 Developers Outline Their Three Biggest Priorities

Before presenting the new gameplay features, the developers shared what they currently consider the three most important areas for the future of inZOI.

These priorities are:

  • 🛠️ Improving overall game stability, fixing bugs, and refining the life simulation.
  • 🔗 Creating deeper connections between family, school, personality, economy, and relationship systems.
  • 👨‍👩‍👧 Expanding newborn, toddler, child, and family gameplay to make growing up feel far more meaningful.

According to the team, the goal is to make every Zoi's life feel unique, with decisions and experiences having long-term consequences.


🧠 Every Life Event Will Matter More

The developers also revealed several examples of how the simulation will become much deeper.

Future updates aim to introduce features such as:

  • 🎓 School performance influencing future jobs, promotions, businesses, and careers.
  • ❤️ Family relationships affecting school performance and even workplace decisions.
  • 📚 Personality traits influencing daily routines, hobbies, and behaviors.
  • 💼 Career success depending on a Zoi's abilities, personality, and financial situation.
  • 👶 Childhood experiences shaping adult preferences, fears, and personality.
  • 🧠 Expanded memories and life history that explain why Zois behave the way they do.
  • 📰 Important life moments appearing in the News Feed alongside player-created photos.

Rather than existing as separate mechanics, these systems will continuously influence one another throughout a Zoi's entire life.


🛠️ Stability Remains the Top Priority

The team also confirmed they're actively fixing numerous bugs reported by the community.

Some of the issues currently being addressed include:

  • 💥 Crashes while loading save files.
  • 🔄 Infinite loading when switching between family members in larger households.
  • ⚰️ Crashes during death by old age.
  • 🎓 Children incorrectly graduating from high school after aging up.
  • 🏫 Schools changing unexpectedly after loading a save.
  • 🏠 Room detection issues causing floors or walls to disappear.
  • 🍽️ Hunger not being satisfied correctly while at home.
  • 🎉 Graduation ceremonies failing because teachers never appear.

The developers emphasized that continuing to improve stability remains one of their highest priorities before expanding the game further.


🤿 Controlled Free Diving Is Coming

One of the biggest gameplay reveals this week is controlled free diving.

The feature is currently in early testing, meaning movement and animations are still being refined.

Although unfinished, the developers wanted to confirm that underwater exploration is actively being developed.


🌾 Farming Will Become Much Less Repetitive

Players who enjoy farming should also appreciate one of the new quality-of-life improvements.

When harvesting or working on multiple nearby plots, farming actions will automatically repeat instead of requiring players to manually select every interaction.

This should make larger farms much more enjoyable to manage.


🚗 Vehicle Modding Opens New Creative Possibilities

Mod creators are also receiving a major new tool.

The upcoming vehicle modding system will allow players to replace cars with virtually anything the community creates.

Whether realistic vehicles or completely ridiculous creations, modders will have far greater freedom than before.


👨‍👩‍👧 More Character Customization Options

Several new additions are also coming to Create a Zoi, including:

  • 💇 A brand-new hairstyle.
  • 👕 New undergarments.
  • 🎤 Custom voices.
  • 🖼️ Family portraits.
  • ✨ Fixes for various clothing clipping issues.

These additions continue expanding character customization while improving visual quality.


🏡 New Buildings, Build Mode Features & Vacation Island Improvements

The world of inZOI continues to grow.

Developers showcased several upcoming additions, including:

  • 🏗️ New build mode visual effects.
  • 🏠 Additional properties in Dowon and Cahaya.
  • 🍽️ A brand-new restaurant in Dowon.
  • 🏨 Public accommodations ranging from budget to luxury hotels.
  • 🕳️ Custom basement construction for existing properties.
  • 🛍️ A new central market on the vacation island where players can purchase various items.

These additions are designed to make the world feel more varied and alive.


✈️ A Full Vacation System Is in Development

Perhaps the biggest gameplay feature shown this week is an entirely new vacation system.

Players will be able to:

  • 🌴 Choose which Zois travel together.
  • 🏨 Select where they'll stay.
  • 🛍️ Visit markets and explore vacation destinations together.

The developers are already asking players what additional features they'd like to see included before release.


🎮 More UI & Gameplay Improvements

As always, the update also includes numerous smaller improvements across the game.

Upcoming changes include:

  • ✅ Fixed interaction UI elements that occasionally moved incorrectly.
  • 👥 Group activity invitations will no longer interrupt ongoing long interactions.
  • ❤️ The relationship menu now includes categories, making it much easier to find specific Zois.
  • 👶 Children's reactions to a mother's pregnancy have been improved.
  • 🧘 Beginner yoga animations now look more realistic instead of appearing overly skilled.
  • ♟️ Zois now react with visible frustration while still sitting after losing a chess match.
