{{see also|inZOI}} | |||
In [[inZOI]], a [[Family]], also referred to as a [[Household]], is a group of [[Zois]] living together. Families are central to gameplay, involving managing [[relationships]], [[life stages]], and household composition. | |||
== | ==Household (Family) Size== | ||
A single [[family]] / [[household]] can contain up to 8 [[Zois]]. If a household is already at the maximum of 8 Zois, new [[pregnancies]] will automatically fail. To add a new Zoi (through birth or other means) to a full household, the developers noted that "someone in your family would have to [[die]]" first. | |||
== | ==Managing Families== | ||
Players have several tools to create and modify [[families]]/[[households]]. | |||
==Family | ===Creating a New Family=== | ||
[[File:add_a_new_family1.png|thumb|300px|right|Adding a new family via the Edit City screen.]] | |||
To start a completely new family: | |||
#Access the [[Edit City]] screen (via the [[Map]], press [M], or initial game setup). | |||
#Click on any empty [[house]] / [[lot]]. | |||
#A '''Select Family''' button will appear. Click it. | |||
#Choose to either: | |||
#*Move in a [[pre-made household]] from the [[family presets]]. | |||
#*Click '''Create New Family''' to design your own Zois in [[Create A Zoi]]. | |||
== | ===Editing Existing Families=== | ||
Family composition can be changed after creation using the [[Smartphone]]. | |||
====Adding Members==== | |||
To add a new Zoi to an existing family (up to the 8-Zoi limit): | |||
# Open the [[Smartphone]]. | |||
# Go to the [[City Map]] app or press '''[M]'''. | |||
# Select the household/family you wish to edit. | |||
# Choose the ''''Add Family Member' ''' option. | |||
# This will take you to the [[Create A Zoi]] screen to design the new Zoi. | |||
#*Note: You can make minor edits to existing Zois from this screen, but the options are far more limited than the initial character creation. | |||
====Setting Relationships==== | |||
* When adding new members via the 'Add Family Member' process described above, you can click the [[Relationships]] button within that screen. | |||
* This allows you to define how the newly created Zoi relates to the existing members (e.g., [[roommate]], [[partner]], [[child]], [[parent]]). | |||
* Settable relationship types include: | |||
**[[Roommate]] | |||
**[[Partner]] / [[Husband]] / [[Wife]] | |||
**[[Father]] / [[Mother]] | |||
**[[Son]] / [[Daughter]] | |||
*'''Important:''' You '''cannot''' change the pre-existing relationships of Zois who were already in the family using this method. | |||
====Moving Zois Between Families (Splitting/Merging)==== | |||
[[File:InZOI - Move Zois Between Families Button.png|thumb|300px|right|The 'Move Zois Between Families' option in the Manage Family tab.]] | |||
[[File:InZOI - Transfer Family Members.png|thumb|300px|right|Selecting Zois and assets to transfer between families.]] | |||
To move [[Zois]] between two existing [[households]], effectively splitting or merging them: | |||
#Open the [[Smartphone]]. | |||
#Go to the [[City Map]] app or press '''[M]'''. | |||
#Access the '''Manage Zois''' section. | |||
#Navigate to the '''Manage Family''' tab. | |||
#Select the ''''Move Zois Between Families' ''' option. | |||
#Choose up to two families to manage transfers between. | |||
#Select the specific Zois you wish to move from one family to the other. | |||
#You can manually decide how much of the household assets ([[Meow]]) are transferred with the moving Zois. | |||
#*Note: Leaving a newly formed or split-off family with no assets may prevent them from buying a [[house]] if they don't already own one. | |||
#*Tip: You can use the '''Create a Temporary Family''' option within this tool to act as a temporary holding place for Zois during complex reorganizations involving multiple households. | |||
*Changing family members this way does not affect their surnames. | |||
*This is the primary method for having unmarried Zois live together as roommates, as the social interaction to [[Ask to Move In]] typically only appears for married or engaged Zois. | |||
[[Category: | ====Removing Members==== | ||
*There is no direct 'delete' button for Zois outside of [[Death|in-game death]]. | |||
*To remove a Zoi from a specific active household, use the ''''Move Zois Between Families' ''' tool (described above) to move them into a different household (either another existing one or a temporary/unused one you create for this purpose). | |||
==Family Life Stages & Interactions== | |||
===Marriage and Divorce=== | |||
*Zois can enter into '''[[Marriage]]'''. | |||
*The option for '''[[Divorce]]''' also exists. | |||
===Pregnancy and Birth=== | |||
[[File:birth_and_parenting1.png|thumb|350px|right|Caring for a newborn baby is an important part of family life.]] | |||
[[Pregnancy]] last for 3 days. | |||
Pregnant Zois experience various interactions and states: | |||
*Announcing the pregnancy. | |||
*Holding [[Parties|pregnancy parties]]. | |||
*Experiencing food [[Cravings]]. | |||
After 3 days, the [[baby]] ([[newborn]]) is born. | |||
[[Babies]] and [[toddler]]s have limited gameplay interactions initially in [[Early Access]] but require care ([[feeding]], [[changing]], [[affection]]) from family members to grow up healthy. | |||
*More baby-related interactions are planned for future updates. | |||
*Developers noted technical challenges related to infants' unique body structures requiring special animations. | |||
===Genetics=== | |||
{{see also|Genetics}} | |||
[[File:genetics1.png|thumb|350px|right|Babies inherit traits and appearances from their parents.]] | |||
When a [[baby]] is born, they inherit characteristics from their [[parents]]. This includes physical [[looks]] (like [[hair]]/[[eye color]], [[facial features]]) and potentially [[Traits]] and [[Skills]]. | |||
===Family Interactions=== | |||
[[Family]] or group interactions in [[Early Access]] are somewhat basic. Examples include a [[Child]] asking a [[Parent]] to [[Cooking|cook]] [[Food|food]] or do [[Laundry]]. Developers hope to expand cooperative or group/family gameplay features in future updates. | |||
