Pregnancy: Difference between revisions

'''Pregnancy''' is a key feature for [[family]] and generational gameplay in ''inZOI'', allowing [[married]] [[Zois]] to have [[children]].

== Requirements ==

*   The couple must be a '''married male and female Zoi'''. Unmarried Zois cannot try for a baby.

*   The Zois must be living together.

*   The couple must have a strong [[Romance|romantic relationship]].

*   The household must have '''fewer than 8 Zois''', as pregnancy will automatically fail if the household is full.

*   Currently, only female Zois can become pregnant.

*   [[Adoption]] is not available in the initial Early Access release but is planned for a future update (projected for May 2025). Same-sex couples cannot have biological children via pregnancy in the game at this time.

1.  Have one married Zoi initiate a social [[Interaction|interaction]] with their spouse.

2.  Navigate to the '''"Romance"''' category in the dialogue options.

3.  Select the interaction '''"Suggest Having a Baby"'''. (Note: Using the standard "Set The Mood Next To Bed" interaction will '''not''' result in a chance for pregnancy).

4.  If the spouse agrees, the couple will typically go to a bedroom and attempt to conceive (often depicted via a cutscene or effect like hearts/blur).

5.  Success is '''not guaranteed''' on the first try; multiple attempts may be necessary.

== Confirming Pregnancy ==

*   After the "Suggest Having a Baby" interaction concludes, a '''red exclamation mark''' may appear on the female Zoi's portrait in the UI.

*   Clicking this exclamation mark provides the option to '''"Take a Pregnancy Test"'''. The Zoi will then use a toilet to perform the test.

*   A '''pop-up notification''' will appear, announcing whether the pregnancy test was positive or negative.

== Pregnancy Period ==

*   A confirmed pregnancy lasts for '''three in-game days'''.

*   The pregnant Zoi's '''belly will visibly grow''' larger each day.

*   During pregnancy, the Zoi may experience specific moodlets, discomfort, or feel sick (with an option to vomit in the toilet). However, their basic [[Needs]] do not seem to deteriorate faster than usual.

*   Appearance editing for the pregnant Zoi is disabled until after birth.

*   Pregnant Zois gain access to unique interactions, such as:

    *   Announcing the pregnancy.

    *   Inviting others to feel the baby move.

    *   Discussing baby plans with their spouse.

    *   Looking at ultrasound pictures on their phone.

    *   Shopping for baby products on the computer.

    *   Experiencing food cravings.

*   If a couple gets divorced while the Zoi is pregnant, the Zoi will remain pregnant.

== Giving Birth ==

[[File:inzoi_give_birth_prompt.png|thumb|The prompt to give birth appears when the pregnancy term is complete.]] <!-- Placeholder filename - replace if actual image is available -->

1.  After three days, a '''red exclamation mark''' will appear on the pregnant Zoi's portrait with the prompt '''"Give Birth"'''.

2.  Clicking this initiates the birth process.

3.  The Zoi may give birth on the spot or automatically go to the hospital. A short cutscene typically follows, often showing the mother in a hospital bed holding the newborn.

4.  If the player misses the birth prompt (e.g., the pregnant Zoi is not in the active household), the birth happens automatically, but the player misses the cutscene and the naming opportunity.
