List of known issues and plans for localization quality improvement [ver 0.2]

[AR Talk]

Dear Creators,

To provide a better gameplay experience, the inZOI team has continuously identified and addressed various issues throughout the development process.
The list below contains issues that the team is already aware of and fixing.

inZOI supports multiple languages to help you enjoy a deeper and more immersive life simulation experience.
However, we are aware that the current localization quality may be lacking.

Throughout Early Access, we will continue our efforts to improve the localization quality through ongoing LQA (Localization Quality Assurance) processes.
We kindly ask for your understanding and welcome your continued feedback.

1. Known Issues

[ver 0.3] 4/28 00:00 (UTC)

◆ Zois cannot use stairs installed after raising a room's platform.

[ver 0.2] 3/28 00:00 (UTC)

◆ When exiting the UI while My Texture is loading, texture icons may not refresh properly and appear as solid white.

◆ Presets saved before Early Access may intermittently not appear, though they are still located in the Documents folder.

◆ Some objects may intermittently disappear when resetting the property to its default state.

◆ In certain situations, characters may become unable to perform actions.
 → This may occur under the following conditions.
- (Resolved) when crafting furniture at the furniture workbench
※ Please note this issue has been fixed in the hotfix (Build version: 20250414.2252.W).
- when not under police detention
- when Zoi is detained on an empty lot
 → If this occurs, using Emergency Rescue may not resolve the issue. Please restart the game and try again.

◆ After saving while driving, resuming the game may prevent driving or exiting the vehicle, or cause the vehicle to disappear.
 → In this case, please use the Emergency Rescue feature.

◆ Same-sex relationships are not possible with other Zois in the city.


[ver 0.1] 3/27 12:00 (UTC)

(1) Build Studio (10 issues)
◆ When placing Property Presets saved in Build Studio, parts of the properties may be cut off if the preset is larger than the actual property size in the city.

◆ Even if the Property Preset size matches, some furniture may disappear or shift in position upon placement.

◆ Customization may not apply properly to the end roof surface of Half Hip Roofs.

◆ When windows are placed too close to interior walls, they may appear black or not display correctly. To fix this, try leaving a small gap between the window and the wall when placing it.

◆ If there is no ceiling from the second floor and above, ceiling-mounted objects such as lights may not be placeable. This can be resolved by adding a floor on the upper level to create a ceiling.

◆ If only part of the Floor was customized (not the entire area), it may disappear when moving the building or property.

◆ When using My Texture on Floor Tiles the horizontal or vertical flip function may not work properly.

◆ When placing Handrails and Partial Walls on Platforms, they may sink into the platform.

◆ When placing Handrails, several issues may occur—for example, handrails with different designs may not connect properly, or a ceiling may be generated when all walls in a room are made of handrails.

◆ Customization may not apply correctly to certain objects.



(2) Character Studio (2 issues)
◆ You may experience clipping with certain outfits when using customized body types.

◆ When hovering over standard outfits for children or adults, the wrong Canvas thumbnail may occasionally appear.



(3) City Play (8 issues)
◆ When a single Zoi remarries multiple times, some family members may disappear. We recommend avoiding repeated remarriage and, if necessary, proceeding only when there are no children involved.

◆ Motions such as holding a baby may sometimes appear awkward or overlap unnaturally, affecting the parenting experience.

◆ In certain animations, the right arm may briefly jerk or snap.

◆ When moving, a character may take unexpected paths such as going around to find a proper route or cutting through terrain.

◆ Occasionally, distant objects may become the interaction target.

◆ When entering City Edit Mode by clicking Zoi's job location in the 'Career' App on the phone, you may not be able to pause the game.

◆ The remaining duration of an Emotion may occasionally be displayed incorrectly.

◆ When returning to Simulation from City Edit Mode, the Map Icon may occasionally remain visible and not disappear.


(4) Canvas (2 issues)
◆ Occasionally, deleting a preset may not remove its folder from the directory path.

◆ For presets saved before March 23, the author name may incorrectly appear as “inZOI.”

2. Future Improvements

(1) Localization Quality Improvements
While inZOI supports multiple languages, we are aware that the current localization quality may vary. As we move into Early Access, we will focus on improving the quality of localization, including accuracy, consistency, and terminology standardization, while continuing to refine the user interface and fonts.

We understand that a highly immersive life simulation experience requires high-quality localization. To that end, we will deliver ongoing updates to enhance the quality of localization.

You can check our localization progress by going to Settings > Game Options and opening the Language dropdown menu.


(2) Game Stability and Optimization
Due to the unique characteristics of Unreal Engine 5 and the complexity of city-scale simulation, inZOI currently requires high system specifications. To address this, we are preparing a feature that automatically applies optimal settings based on your hardware. We will also continue optimization efforts to ensure a smoother and more comfortable experience for a wider range of players.


(3) Ongoing Feedback Implementation
We will prioritize fixing bugs and quality-of-life upgrades, while continuing to update and improve features to enhance overall content integrity. All your feedback is invaluable to us and thus will be carefully reviewed by the team.

We will continue to collect feedback through the following channels, and we kindly ask for your active input.

 * inZOI Customer Support Center[support.playinzoi.com]
 * Steam Discussion Board


As we prepare for the launch of Early Access, we acknowledge that inZOI is still a work in progress, with many areas in need of improvement. With your kind love and support, we will double our efforts in providing a better gameplay experience.

We truly appreciate your continued support and feedback, and we look forward to welcoming you into Early Access with sincere gratitude.

Thank you!

The inZOI Team.

Furniture preset not showing up when downloaded form Canvas.

Definitely a promising early access! I love it! But still it needs moooore work on interactions, it needs a scheduled maid for cleaning and not taking away food that is made :') ,more hairstyles, notification for aging up on babies toddlers children (possibility to have birthday party?!) and possible multitasking and of course bug fixes on working, on clicking and autonomy of inzois is too free! Some actions last to short with no reason for example practice speaking and cooking on the otherside looks like eternity...Also the food that is cooked has to be put on fridge and right now its not..
I have gardening level high but still i have nothing to do with things i harvest , cant put them in fridge or use on food and some i cant even put them to bag.It would be cool to control life long lasting and be able to stop it or something.Im so excited to see the updates and I can’t wait for the pets to come!

no fast time if u visit the school

[Zitiache]

So i have issues with fulfilling urges or ambitions, i think a lot of them are mistranslated (i bought a bookshelf and the ambition isn't filled, is it supposed to be buy a book from a bookshelf, like from a bookstore?), or maybe just don't fully explained (I don't know where the charity bazaar is). Maybe the game could highlight certain relevant actions (I don't know what qualifies as discuss challenges or romantic whispers or whatever, maybe when my Zoi gets that urge the social interaction can be marked or something)

How about the issue a lot of people are having where they can't click on their Zoi or any NPC? Is that being addressed?

I've resolve that using the resolution scaling (i'm playing in 2k) and set it up to 70% and now I can click on my zoi and other zois.

Cannot remap buttons. I am used to moving camera with WASD buttons in strategy games, and turning pause on and off with space, so it makes me suffer.

No ultra fast time skip while sleeping or working.

Relations made too fast. One good walk in the park and we have everlasting love. Not interesting. These things must take some in game days at least. Need some scale slider for this I think. as well as for character life cycle length.

Some actions take an unreasonably long time, like use toilet. Some actions take an unreasonably short time, like a workout with punching bag.

A lot of interaction flaws like being unable to sit on a chair from any side, resulting in a lot of weird unnecessary animations.

No continious conversations. After each phrase activity of characters is reset, resulting in a lot of weird unnecessary animations. No background conversations while eating etc. No group conversations. Just look how sims made it.

No complex actions like sit on a chair + eat food + drink coffee + watch tv + talk to other dude. It worked well in sims so must here also.

Character with free will on is too free, always trying to go somewhere and do something completely random, making no sense and giving me no delay to make orders.

No group orders like go together, sit todether, order food for group in restaurant. No bulk cooking. Characters often refuse to come for a meeting for some unknown reason.

And why I can't enter city police station and talk to cops? Never saw any on patrol duty also.

And remove woke crap. It is not "progressive" anymore.

I agree with much of what you said! Relationships build wayyyyy tooo faaassst. When free will is on for like a second they are off doing something that is so out of context and random. The no continuous conversations really bothered me people would be standing in a group but not talking in a group, and if you are doing any activity don't even think about talking until you finish. Its like is either a rushed yap fest or sitting in silence.

I turn free will off when trying to get my ZOIs to do things together because there's so little down time between actions when you switch control: Case in Point, I wanted to "Drive My Car" with my "Child ZOI" inside to school, but when I went to the parking lot, the child ZOI was already back inside the apartment on freewill, luckily you can turn off Family Autonomy to achieve the same effect as turning off "Free Will" on that specific ZOI, but this helps little for ZOIs outside the family.

I might also suggest a "Form Group" Interaction on other ZOIs similiar to SIms 4, which would allow them to "loosely" be connected in travel; not neccessarily joined at the hip but more like "We'll change venues when you do" kinda logic.

Also the Karma system is not welcome, because it's too confusing and unapproachable, am I expected to be responsible for the actions of AI I can neither control nor guide more than a single click interaction and if I fail do I get a game over? Because that's what the current rendition appears to be...

Could play without any problems yesterday, but after the update couldn't load my saved game. The game try to load it and then close itself. (without any messages of any error or anything)
I was only able to start a new game.

i had the same issue with fulfilling a "buy x" ambition milestone until i selected the Zoi who had that milestone as the active one before going into build/ buy mode and buying the object (this worked for me for 3 Zois, one wanted a bookcase and two wanted fitness equipment, which i had to buy twice, because buying the fitness equipment action only fulfilled for the active Zoi, and selling the object afterwards did not untick the "buy item" box)

the issue i have with fulfilling urges or ambitions is that some actions do not register as complete, so i don't get the rewards.

for example, i cannot complete the urge to write in a diary, because the write in a diary action never registers as complete.
similarly, any urge or ambition milestone related to reading any book also never completes because reading books simply will not finish for me, the progress bar circles all around the action icon, but then the action never ends.

I've noticed a heat increase since said hotfix too, I don't know what they changed but something got really unbalanced with it...

thanks, that worked. I still have no idea where the charity bazaar is.

My game crashes all the time.

[madwolf]

for me is very stable, so I guess it's not still very reliable. I am just a bit annoyed but the bugs here and there, but I guess it's an early access after all.
