inZOI v0.3.0 Update

※ v0.3.0 is a general update for all players, separate from the DLC.

This update brings deeper emotions and behaviors to Zois, a more vibrant city atmosphere, and richer interactions—delivering a more immersive and organic simulation experience.

Zois now express emotions more subtly depending on the situation, and relationships between Zois develop more naturally and with more distinct personalities. The city environment simulation area has been expanded, with crowds appearing throughout the city, each with their own stories and purposes.

We’ve expanded the range of interactions based on player feedback, and refined character motions and facial expressions to make them more fluid and realistic.

Additionally, architectural elements such as swimming pools, elevators, and various new furniture have been added, allowing you to enrich your inZOI world in your own unique way.

Check out the full details of the update below!

Interactions: Zois With Emotions and Personality

Zois now express emotions more naturally and interact more fluidly, forming deeper and more dynamic relationships. New group actions, like eating or playing together, help bring warmth and personality to their connections.

Conversation flow and emotional transitions are now smoother and more consistent. Depending on their traits, Zois respond differently and may even express urges during interactions.

The romantic relationship system has also been expanded with greater emotional depth, allowing for more relatable dynamics such as one-sided crushes, love confessions, and divorces.

New Features

• Emotion GUI Overhaul
  • The emotion UI has been completely revamped to make Zoi’s expressions, emotion icons, and emotion levels easier to understand at a glance. Additionally, new status indicators have been added to help players better grasp each Zoi’s emotional state in more depth.
• Thought Balloons in Conversations
  • During conversations and interactions, visual thought bubbles now appear above Zois, reflecting their inner thoughts. These icons make it easier to understand their emotional reactions and imagine what’s going on in their minds.
• New Collaborative Actions
  • Zois can now perform collaborative actions such as eating meals or playing games together.

Improved Features

• Emotion Improvements
  • Zois now display more natural and believable emotional transitions. Interactions and reactions vary more clearly based on individual traits, sudden emotional shifts have been smoothed out, and conversation flow has become more consistent overall.
• Conversation Improvements
  • Conversations have been refined with more nuanced expressions, allowing for varied interpretations and outcomes depending on the situation. Conversation results now branch into 2–3 possible paths, and players can explore more conversation options even without specific emotional conditions. The ratio of negative conversations has also been adjusted to create a more balanced emotional flow.
• Zoi Interaction Improvements
  • Zois now respond more clearly when approached, and no longer walk away immediately after a conversation begins, making interactions feel more natural. Clicking on a moving Zoi will now cause them to briefly pause, addressing the previous issue of being unable to talk to Zois passing by.
• Romantic Relationship Enhancements
  • Romantic relationships between Zois now feel more nuanced and emotionally dynamic. New developments—such as one-sided crushes, love confessions, obsessions, and divorces—have been added, along with trait-based reactions and outcomes that vary depending on how well a Zoi sets the mood.
• Urge Improvements
  • Zois now express urges more appropriately, based on the context and conditions of the situation.
• Preferences will no longer be automatically assigned to newly created Zois.
• Newly created Zois will now start with lower value trait scores.
