Line 1:

In the world of [[inZOI]], [[Zois]] progress through life via 9 distinct [[Life Stages]]. Rather than aging gradually, Zois transition instantly from one stage to the next upon reaching the required age, with their appearance changing immediately to reflect their new age group.

This progression marks their journey from [[Newborn]] to [[Senior]]. The duration spent in each stage is measured in in-game [[Zoi Days]].

==Life Stages Overview==

There are 9 life stages in total. The table below outlines each stage, its duration in [[in-game days]], the cumulative days reached at the end of the stage, and whether the stage can be selected when creating a new [[Zoi]] in [[Create-A-Zoi]].

==Aging Mechanics==

*'''Automatic Progression:''' [[Zois]] automatically age up to the next life stage as game time passes.

*'''Instant Transition:''' The change between life stages is instantaneous, not gradual. A Zoi's [[appearance]] will immediately update to reflect their new stage.

*'''Notifications:''' When the currently selected Zoi reaches a new life stage, the player may receive a notification. However, notifications for Zois aging up might only appear for the actively controlled Zoi. When any Zoi in the [[household]] [[dies]] ([[Death from Old Age|from old age]]), the player will receive a notification regardless of whether they were selected.

==Controlling Aging Speed==

By default, one in-game [[Zoi Day]] lasts 96 real-world minutes. Players can adjust the length of an in-game day in the game [[settings]]. This allows players to effectively speed up or slow down the rate at which their Zois age through the life stages.

While the speed of aging can be modified, it is not possible to completely stop Zois from aging or dying of old age.

Based on the default settings (96 minutes per day) and the durations listed above, a Zoi living a full lifespan would require significant real-time play (potentially over 75 in-game days, translating to more than 5 real-world days of continuous playtime).

==Character Creation==

Not all life stages are available when first creating a Zoi in [[Create-A-Zoi]]. The following stages must be reached through gameplay:

*[[Newborn]] (achieved through birth)

*[[Toddler]] (achieved by a Newborn aging up)

*[[Adolescent]] (achieved by a Child aging up)

The remaining stages ([[Child]], [[Teenager]], [[Young Adult]], [[Adult]], [[Middle-Aged]], and [[Senior]]) can be selected directly in Create-A-Zoi.
