The first update for inZOI is now available, after being delayed from its original release window of May 2025. This update brings major new features to the life simulation game, notably tools for modding, as well as new clothing and furniture items, along with new gameplay features. We’ll take a look at everything included in this big update, as well as any fixes.
Introducing ModKit
This update adds ModKit to inZOI, which allows players to create and manage mods. With ModKit, players will be able to create new clothing and furniture and then share them with others. You can learn more about creating mods in inZOI at the official website.
inZOI Mod Browser
The Mod Browser has been added to allow easier access to mods in the game. Players can manage mods using the Browser’s features such as search, install, delete, and more.
Wizard-Based Modding Features
A wizard-style UI has been implemented to the mod creation process to remove the need for complex settings. Here you can create mods and access certain content immediately such as set outfits, objects, and more. You will be able to create set outfits as standalone items for character customization, along with placeable in-game items like furniture and decorative objects.
Editing Data
Players can edit game data so they can add their own rules or features, including prices, placement, and interaction.
Sharing and Distribution
Newly-created mods can be shared with CurseForge or extracted directly and added into the game manually.
Modding is now available in inZOI.
Content and Sample Resources
Basic resources needed to create mods will be provided. The Unreal assets are based on real in-game assets, so that beginners will have an easier time understanding their structure. These assets can be duplicated and used within the wizard.
FXB files will be included so assets can be edited with third-party tools. Sample mods will also be provided to make the structure of these assets easier to understand. These include Create a Zoi, building, and data editing.
DCC Plugins
Maya and Blender plugins are now supported. These come with tools and guides to help players create custom clothing.
Modding Guide
A comprehensive guide for modding with ModKit will be made and be available all in one place, featuring instructions and tips for using the tools, creating content, and distributing them.
Share your new modding creations with other players.

Create a Child With Medical Help
Adoption isn’t the only new way to have children. Also using a computer or laptop, another option is to Create a Child with Medical Help. Note that the process costs 1,000 Mew. The child will have your Zoi’s genetics, or if partnered up with another Zoi, the child will have both genetics.
