Open Catalog

Hello everyone,

It’s hard to believe the week has already flown by and Friday is here. How are you finding the latest update so far?

Ever since we first launched the Island Getaway DLC last year, there were several features we desperately wanted to include but simply ran out of time for—ideas that have lingered in our minds ever since. This time around, we dedicated a substantial period to bridging that gap. While it might be arriving a bit late in the season, I genuinely hope you’re enjoying a wonderful virtual vacation within *inZOI*.

Today, I’d like to pull back the curtain and give you a closer look at what we currently have in store for October.

Customizable Lot Behavior (Build Mode)

Initially, we are introducing preset configurations to streamline restaurant interactions for your Zois. However, relying solely on presets often leads to every establishment feeling somewhat identical. To combat this, we are integrating a robust editing tool directly into Build Mode. This will empower you to define your own interactive objects and behavioral scenarios from scratch. Essentially, you can dictate the rule: “When a Zoi interacts with this specific object, they will behave in this exact manner.” Our ultimate goal is to ensure that no two restaurants ever feel quite the same, allowing your creativity to truly shine.

Revamping City Resident Families

Each of our cities boasts a distinct atmosphere and thematic identity, yet the families inhabiting them occasionally felt disconnected from their surroundings. Discrepancies between their appearances, careers, and the local vibe often disrupted immersion. To fix this, we are meticulously redesigning resident families whose current styles don’t quite match their environment, alongside crafting richer career backstories for them. When you explore the neighborhoods, we want you to instinctively feel, “Ah, this is the authentic lifestyle of this city.”

Choosing Your Starting Lot

Many of you have shared feedback noting that beginning your journey on an already polished, high-end lot strips away the rewarding challenge of building your empire from the ground up. In response, we are introducing an option to select a run-down, fixer-upper lot when you first establish your presence in a city. If you relish the journey of starting from scratch and revitalizing a space piece by piece, this addition is tailor-made for you.

Beyond our October lineup, there is one more major milestone worth highlighting.

Script Mods & the ModKit

We know you have been eagerly awaiting this development, and we are thrilled to announce that Script Mods will soon be in your hands.

No matter how extensively our team expands the game internally, we can never quite match the sheer boundlessness of your collective imagination. Script Mods exist precisely to bridge that divide—empowering you to shape the experience yourselves.

At present, we are refining the official ModKit in collaboration with a dedicated, close-knit group of community modders. Development tools frequently conceal their flaws until creators actually put them to the test, so this early-access phase allows us to gather invaluable hands-on feedback and fine-tune the system accordingly.

Before I sign off, just one final teaser: at the upcoming event, we will be showcasing completely unseen gameplay footage for the very first time. I sincerely hope you enjoy what we have prepared!

I am endlessly excited to witness where your boundless creativity takes this world.
