{{see also|inZOI|Household|Relationships|Zoi}} | |||
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. | |||
===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]] 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. | |||
# 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 - Transfer Family Members.png|thumb|300px|right|Selecting Zois and assets to transfer between families.]] <!-- Placeholder filename, replace if actual image available --> | |||
To move Zois between two existing households, effectively splitting or merging them: | |||
# Open the [[Smartphone]]. | |||
# Go to the '''[[City Map]]''' app. | |||
# 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 '''[[Meow|assets]]''' (funds) 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. | |||
==== 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|Pregnancies]] 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|baby]] is born. | |||
* [[Baby|Babies]] and [[Infant|Infants]] 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. | |||
