Once activated, the Smart Zoi Panel will appear at the bottom of the main screen.
You can also use the Enter Directly on Pop-Up feature to provide more detailed information to the AI.
Known Issues and Limitations
As Smart Zoi is still in an experimental phase, players might encounter bugs or limitations. The development team is aware of and working on addressing these known issues, which currently include:
- Schedule Issues: New schedule items may fail to be created if a Zoi stays up too late.
- Journal/Schedule Editing at High Speed: Creating new journal entries or editing schedules is temporarily disabled when the game simulation speed is set to 5x or higher.
- Inner Thoughts Disappearance: A Zoi’s Inner Thoughts bubble might disappear quickly during interactions with other Zois.
- Gameplay Lag: The game may experience lag if multiple (up to five) sleepy Zois are present on-screen after 11 p.m. game time.
Players should be mindful of these limitations, as they might affect the gameplay experience while the feature is being refined.
Commitment to Improvement
The inZOI development team is committed to the continuous improvement of the Smart Zoi feature. They plan to refine its functionality and address reported issues based on player feedback as development progresses.
