[[Category:Relationships and Social]]

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.]]

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.
