 Gameplay

More Ways to Build Families and Relationships

Zois can build families and express their emotions in more varied and flexible ways. Added features like adoption, non-marital childbirth, teen romance, and new text interactions make relationships richer and more realistic.

New Features

◽️ Adopt a Child

 - With this update, Zois can now welcome a child into their family without using the Make a Baby interaction through adoption. To use this feature, go to your computer or laptop to access the Adopt a Child menu. As long as they meet the age and property requirements, anybody can bring a new member into their family!

◽️ Create a Child with Medical Help

 - You can now use the Create a Child with Medical Help interaction on a computer or laptop to have a child with the help of science. The procedure costs 1,000 Mew, and the child will have your Zoi's genetic traits. You can also choose to partner up with another Zoi for this procedure, resulting in a child that reflects both Zois' traits.

◽️ Non-Marital Birth

 - To promote even more diverse kinds of families, Zois can now give birth without getting married.

◽️ Teenage Romance

 - Teenager Zois can now enter romantic relationships. Look forward to shy conversations, sweet first dates, and awkwardly adorable interactions. Random choice card events, like receiving an anonymous love confession, may also occur. After school, you might even get the chance to unmask your secret admirer!

◽️ Exchanging Gifts

 - Zois can now exchange items with each other. Depending on a Zoi's personality and preferences, the same gift may be received in different ways. A variety of new giftable items are available on Pocket Market, and you can even withdraw cash from an ATM to gift money directly.

◽️ Visits from Other Zois

 - Other Zois in the city can now make the first move to meet your Zoi. They might make plans for a meetup via text, or even show up unannounced at your doorstep. Be it longing, insecurity, or a simple whim of the heart, their reasons for visiting may vary. Whether the meeting ends with a heartwarming moment or a bittersweet goodbye depends entirely on how your Zoi responds.

◽️ Sending the First Text

 - You can now initiate a conversation by sending a text to any Zoi by using the Contacts app on your smartphone [P].

Responses will vary depending on the relationship between the two Zois and the recipient's current emotional state. On a good day, you might get a friendly reply... but if the other Zoi is in a bad mood, expect the unexpected!


Improved Features

◽️ Romantic Relationships with Everyone!

 - New settings have been added that allow Zois to express their gender identity and romantic attraction more freely. These settings can also now be adjusted at any time. Zois who align with your identity and romantic attraction will also appear in the overworld, setting the stage for potential relationships.

◽️ Relationship-Appropriate Conversations

 - When player Zois reach a certain level in their relationship, their conversations will change to better reflect that dynamic. For example, if a relationship between two Zois progresses from Mutual Crush to Sweetheart, the tone of their dynamic will become positive, increasing the likelihood of positive conversations between them.

◽️ UI Improvements Related to Romantic Relationships

 - In response to player feedback, the message "You're getting to know each other as romantic interests" will no longer appear. The romantic relationship gauge for Zois will now only be displayed in the Relationships menu after at least one romantic conversation has occurred.


Improvements and Updates to Simulations

Core systems that determine a Zoi's pace of life have been rebalanced. These include changes in body weight and physique, aging, starting funds, and prison systems. From play and parenting to interactions and NPC behavior, in-game simulations have been polished to feel more realistic and organic.


New Features

◽️ Changes to Body Weight and Muscle Mass

 - Zois will now undergo changes in physique based on their lifestyle choices. Working out will cause Zois to build muscle, while overeating will cause them to gain weight. As their Fitness level increases, Zois become more resistant to aches and fatigue, allowing them to endure longer or more intense physical activity with ease.

※ These changes will only be available after starting a new game.

◽️ Improvements to Starting and Move-In Funds

 - Adjustments have been made to help players start their journey as homeowners more easily while giving them a sense of progression. The furniture initially provided has also been rebalanced, setting the stage for a humble beginning while leaving room to grow.

※ These changes will only be available after starting a new game.

◽️ Improvements to Age Progression

 - In response to player feedback, Zois will now spend less time as Middle-Aged Zois, with the Young Adult stage being significantly extended.
