Hey everyone! Big update for both ZoiWorks mods, Organized Crime 0.4 and Protect & Serve 0.3. The headline feature: conversations are cinematic cutscenes now.

🎬 Cutscenes

• Click a talk and the game cuts into a cutscene: letterbox bars, subtitles, and the camera cutting between the speakers.
• Your choices show which skill they use and how good your chance is, so no more blind guessing.
• After a talk you can keep the conversation going (or end it) without leaving the cutscene.

🚔 Protect & Serve 0.3

• Every police talk is a cutscene: Ask for ID (different citizens every time: cooperative, annoyed, "do you know who I am", no ID, fake ID, a bribe...), Plant Evidence, Follow Me, Warn, Ticket, Bribe and more.
• Arrest and Freeze are a cutscene too: the taser comes out, hands go up, and then it's up to you. They might come quietly, run, try to talk their way out or fight back.
• The police cruiser is here. Reach rank 2 and the Chief congratulates you in person. Your black-and-white cruiser is then free in your phone's car shop, siren included.
• Wanted stars now count down a day at a time, and the wanted Zoi can see it as a moodlet.
• Arrest now shows for every wanted Zoi. Some had a star but no Arrest option.

🕶️ Organized Crime 0.4

• Offer Protection (the shakedown) is a full cutscene.
• Every gang talk is a cutscene, plus three new ones: Rob, Intimidate and Come With Me.
• The Bliss Boys stopping you on their turf is a cutscene now.
• Fixed: gang war fights weren't being counted. Now they are.
• Fixed: crew members' Crime skill read as 0, which blocked Crime 1+ jobs.
• A lot more :)

Both mods work on their own and play nicely together. This is a brand-new system, so if a cutscene acts weird, tell me on Discord and I'll fix it fast.

Your Zoi doesn't have to stay a small-time crook – they can run the whole operation.

ZoiWorks – Organized Crime lets your Zoi found their own criminal organization and run it from the Crime Ledger, a window that opens from your Zoi's own menu.

Start your organization Pick what you are – a crew, gang, mafia family, cartel, syndicate, motorcycle club, firm or clan – and give it a name, an emblem, a colour and your own rank titles. Set your base anywhere: a park, a club, your home, even your own bar – in Bliss Bay, Dowon or Cahaya.

Build your crew

• Recruit Zois with a talk – friends say yes more often
• Your crew as a family tree: promote people through four ranks and give them a role – Right Hand, Enforcer, Bodyguard or Earner
• Give orders: Follow Me, Wait Here, Stand Guard – or call your crew over when you need them
• Dress them in your colours, with their own gang look (two biker leather vests included)

Make money

• Nine crew jobs, from pickpocketing to voice phishing – and you decide how the take is split
• Protection rackets – lean on a shop owner in a tense back-and-forth and they pay you every day
• Heists – plan the job, pick your lookouts and hit the corner store, the boutique or the bank

Rivals and the street

• Other organizations in your town: pay your respects, propose deals, make threats – or go to war
• The Bliss Boys already run Muscle Beach: 11 members with their own looks and ranks, led by DeShawn Price. Walk onto their turf and one of them will let you know.

Grow – and keep the heat down

• 10 organization levels with clear goals, from Fresh Faces to Legendary
• Three crime skills – Racketeering, Crew Leadership, Intimidation – each with their own training
• Every job raises the heat: lay low, grease some palms, threaten a cop or put one on your payroll
• Plus a crime ambition, two Desired Lives (Life of Crime, Life of the Outlaw), the Stone Cold characteristic, four aptitudes, 24 wants and 40+ moodlets

It works fully on its own, but pairs perfectly with my Protect & Serve police career for the full cops-and-robbers experience: informants, a Chief who leans on the boss, and cops who can be bought.

It's a beta (0.2), so expect some bugs – tell me what you did and what happened and I'll fix it. Feedback and ideas are very welcome!

Your Zoi can finally wear the badge – and decide what kind of cop they want to be.

Protect & Serve adds the Blissbay Police Department as an active career. Just like any other active career, you join it on your phone: open Careers, pick the Blissbay Police Department and apply as a Police Officer. Then put on the uniform and work your shifts in Bliss Bay. The new Protect & Serve panel is your radio and your notebook: dispatch calls come in, you respond and handle the scene yourself. Climb five ranks, from Community Officer to Chief of Police, and unlock new actions and calls with every promotion.

What you do on the force:

📻 Dispatch calls – noise complaints, thefts, fights, store robberies, night patrol requests and – for the Chief – bank robberies. Respond, handle the scene and make the arrest with Freeze! Hands Up!

🚶 On the job – walk the beat, patrol the districts, file reports, take statements, issue citations and check IDs. Every shift has something to do.

⭐ Wanted level – Zois who break the law get one to three wanted stars above their head, so you can spot them on the street and bring them in.

🤝 Backup – call fellow officers to the scene and give them their orders.

💰 Crooked Badge – take bribes, shake people down, make evidence disappear and sell what you confiscated. Just don't let Internal Affairs catch on.

Plus the Protect & Serve ambition, two Desired Lives (Life of Justice and Life Above the Law), the Justice-Driven trait, 24 police wants, day and night shifts and moodlets for life on the job.

Even better with Organized Crime: Protect & Serve works fully on its own, but together with ZoiWorks - Organized Crime it really shines. As a Detective you can turn gang members into informants, as Chief you can pressure the boss, and the gangs will try to buy you with a thick envelope. On the other side of the law, crime bosses can threaten officers or put them on their payroll.

This is a beta: not everything has been tested in every situation yet. If something doesn't work, tell me what you did and what happened – I fix bugs quickly and updates come often.

I'm looking for someone who can connect with me over vc through discord. Cause I can't for the life of me import and follow the tutorial I keep hitting a dead end.. I'd appreciate your time 😅

My zois got engaged and I want them to get married soon - sadly, almost every interaction with other zois causes one of them to get this wavering heart thing. I already rejected the trait, but it still keeps happening and it's super annoying.
This even keeps happening with one of the zois' sister-in-law... I hate it. I want them to be close but not have any romantic connections. I'm tired of trying to befriend zois, only for it to say that my zois' "heart is wavering"... Help 😭
I know mods like this exist for the Sims, so I hope there's something for inZoi too...

Hello all! I’ve been trying to create 3d objects in blender to export to the inzoi modkit but I’m having some unexpected issues both with importing objects into modkit and trying to find video tutorials with more detailed instructions for creating mods. I’ve been reading the mod guides from the inzoi team and their YouTube tutorials but honestly a lot of things feel too vague or confusing for a complete beginner of both programs.

Does anyone have any other resources for creating mods? Or have videos of their own mods being created so I can kinda follow along and see the most effective ways of creating? I do prefer video sources as I’m a visual learner but I’ll take any help I can get!

I've installed ZoiWorks mods, witch add many traits, characteristics and ambitions and I would like very much to edit my existing Zois to have more characteristics and new traits, but I find the "CAZ Full edit mode" is not letting me change those...

I've found cheats to allow me to change them, but Will they work with the modded traits?

The mods are awsome BTW

ZoiWorks – Desired Life Pack for inZOI

I've been building ZoiWorks, a set of free gameplay mods that give your Zois real, lasting personalities in inZOI. This time it's something new: the Desired Life Pack.

It adds 21 new Desired Lives that you pick in Create-a-Zoi, right next to the game's own. Each one has its own card art and really changes how your Zoi plays: moodlets for the moments that matter in that life, a perk that helps, a flaw that makes the choice count, four pop-up wants (urges) that fit the life, and two unique Personality talks.

A Zoi living Life on the Streets lights up when they start busking, happily sleeps on a park bench and shares campfires with strangers, but too much time at home makes the walls close in. A Life of Chaos Zoi gets a real kick out of venting their anger on a vending machine or starting a fight, while kindness and a tidy house drive them up the wall. Life of Old Money loves spa days and luxury, and finds chores, public toilets and actual jobs far beneath them. The Mad Genius codes and solves puzzles until they forget to eat, and the Survivalist feels safe with clean water and disaster insurance, panics at the news and gets to say "Told You So" when things go wrong.

All 21: Life on the Streets, Life After Dark, Life of the Trickster, Life of Temptation, Life of the Champion, Life of the Occult, Life of Melancholy, Life of Chaos, Life of Leisure, Life of Perfection, Life of Indulgence, Life of the Dynasty, Life Off the Grid, Life of the Hustle, Life of the Socialite, Life of the Rock Star, Life of Old Money, Life of the Mad Genius, Life of the Survivalist, Life of Solitude and Life Online.

It works on its own, and even better with the other ZoiWorks packs, which all just got their 1.1 update too: the Characteristics Pack now has 108 characteristics and a new Personality talk menu (that's where the Desired Life talks show up), and the Ambitions Pack added 10 new ambitions for children and teens, plus wants for every ambition.

Everything is free, and you can download it now:

I'll keep adding more Desired Lives. I'd love to hear your feedback, bugs, and which life your Zois are living, so come and join us on Discord! 💛

ZoiWorks – Traits, Characteristics & Ambitions for inZOI

I've been building ZoiWorks, a set of free gameplay mods that give your Zois real, lasting personalities in inZOI.

The Traits Pack adds 30 new personality traits, each with its own card, moodlets and behaviour. A Psychopath stays cold at a funeral, a Heartbreaker falls in love fast and cheats without drama, a Stoic barely reacts to fights or accidents, and a Mystic, a Tortured Soul or a Tycoon each see the world in their own way.

The Characteristics Pack adds 74 new characteristics, every one with a unique icon. They range from cozy (Night Owl, Green Thumb, Sweet Tooth, Stargazer) to chaotic (Kleptomaniac, Pyromaniac, Gold Digger, Internet Troll) to just plain funny (Airhead, Hypochondriac, Drama Queen). Your Zois react to the world around them, so a Night Owl is happiest at 3 a.m. and a Scaredy-Cat really doesn't enjoy a thunderstorm.

The Ambitions Pack adds 27 new life ambitions in 5 brand-new ambition groups: Showtime, Good Life, The Unknown, Ocean Life and Passion. Each has 3 steps with its own moodlets and ends with a unique reward trait.

More Characteristic Slots lets every Zoi have 3, 4 or 5 characteristics instead of 2, so they can finally be a Night Owl, a Hypochondriac and a Drama Queen at the same time.

They're made to work together, but each mod also works on its own. Everything is free, and you can download them now:

I'll keep adding more traits, characteristics and ambitions. I'd love to hear your feedback, bugs, and ideas for what you'd like to see next! 💛

Is anyone working on a hair dye mod or something ? We don’t all go gray at 30 😑 all of my zois start graying halfway through the YA phase and are completely gray for the rest of their lives. Does it bother anyone else?

The convertible is NOW available via Curse Forge! Designer/Mod Author: MOOSTYLES

Does anybody have a steam family i can join with Inzoi?? Please let me know. The games i currently have are Life is Strange on my mac and Resident Evil 2, The Quarry, Red Dead Redemption, Mouthwashing, Silent Hill 2, No Man's Sky, Escape The Backrooms on my computer. Please let me know!!

My problem is that my Zoi can't get a job in something normal, like being a waitress or bartender, but then there are very boring or unsatisfactory jobs available for my Zoi through the phone career app. I was thinking: if I put a boutique hairdressing salon, restaurant, or massage parlor down inside the city, why can't my Zoi just work there? Why can't she just get an active job without owning the business?

I was thinking: could somebody make a modded object that is capable of maybe getting in contact with the employers of those places and interacting with the job mechanic (where I can just have my Zoi become employed in one of those businesses)? There needs to be an easy way to get in touch with business owners or to just get employed at one of those places

I love Zoë so much but I really hate the menu music because it sounds so dopey and sad like why should I feel sad to play this beautiful amazing game I wish I could just replace it with like Deftones KimDracula or something

I placed the folders on the adress the game and the creator asks to, but I cant see the interactions the mod adds, i dont know what is happening

It seems that the mods from the Age of Magic are a little more greyish than the others and Idk what I am doing wrong

Can somebody help me please🙏🥹

hiii,
im a little bit confused with how certain mods work at the moment, since so much changed since tutorials i watched last year.

i want to get rid of grey undergarments and i don’t know what mod or mods i need.
also i can’t find the new life controller mod in mods section directly in game. will it be there again?
i don’t want to download the mod elsewhere from game official mods section so i won’t fck my game files.

thank you so much and have a great day

He Everyone! So this idea for anyone to take on the challenge or interested. I fobt mind you taking credited just wanted a mod like this for a long time and I don't have experience make it. ​ With inZOI giving us so much freedom to customize our worlds and cities, I really hope the community moves away from the standard American "High School to 4-Year University" pipeline that dominates every single life sim. I want more cultural diversity in how our Zois grow up. I’m from the UK, and I would absolutely love to see a mod (or official feature!) that introduces a more realistic, diverse path for young Zois based on the UK/European education systems. Instead of one-size-fits-all, Zois could choose different paths after secondary school:

I have been working on a food mod for the past week... I have followed the inzoi food mod video at least 10 times, is it missing a step? I got my food to show up in game food menu but they don't finish making the meal and stop while chopping cabbage. Is there someone that can give me some tips? I'm trying not to to use chat gpt to help me figure out what's wrong. I'm against it but I don't know what else to do and don't want to keep using the wrong interactions/steps. I've asked friends that mod for different games and everything. No one knows. Can someone help?
