11Overview22inZOI does not use a traditional achievement system with popup trophies or a global checklist. Instead, the game tracks player progress through several interconnected progression systems that function as its achievement layer. These include Ambitions (lifelong goals with three-tier progression), the Collection Log (a completionist catalog of gathered items), the Desired Life system (character archetypes with aligned goals), skill milestones, and the Shared Memories relationship log. As of March 2026, inZOI does not have Steam achievements. The developers have not confirmed whether Steam achievements will be added before or at full release, though community requests for the feature have been frequent since Early Access launched in March 2025.44Ambitions77The Ambitions system is the closest equivalent to a traditional achievement system. Each ambition is a lifelong goal with three progression levels containing specific tasks. Completing each level awards Meow currency, and finishing all three levels unlocks exclusive interactions that only that ambition provides. Ambitions become available when a Zoi reaches the Young Adult life stage.99At launch, inZOI shipped with 10 ambition categories containing 22 individual ambitions. The v0.5.0 update (December 2025) added three new categories (Lifehacker, Collecting and Crafting, Business Flourishing), bringing the total to 13 categories with over 27 ambitions.1111Ambition Categories1313CategoryAmbitionsFocusFinancial SuccessWealth, Luxury MansionAccumulating savings and raising property valueCareer SuccessNext Gen Leader, Competent TalentProfessional advancement and business acumenPhysical TrainingFitness Master, Master SwimmerAthletic fitness and swimming competitionsFamily HappinessLoving Family, Parenting ExpertFamily bonds, partner conversations, childcareHarmony and PeacePlant Lover, Tranquil MindGardening mastery and inner tranquilityKnowledge and LearningWalking Encyclopedia, Knowledge SeekerMulti-skill mastery and intellectual pursuitsCreative ExpressionGreat Painter, Voice of Heaven, Pro MusicianArt, singing, and instrument masteryPursuit of LoveNation's Sweetheart, Partners in LoveRomance, charm, and True Love relationshipsCommunity ContributionPhilanthropist, Cheerful NeighborDonations, friendships, and community serviceSocial DisorderNotorious Villain, Famous HackersCrime-focused chaos, hacking, and arrest milestonesLifehacker (v0.5.0)Cleanliness Champion, Master ChefHousework and cooking masteryCollecting and Crafting (v0.5.0)Collection Expert, Godlike Angler, BlacksmithMining, fishing, and handiworkBusiness Flourishing (v0.5.0)Savvy EntrepreneurBusiness value and employee management1515Progression Structure1616Every ambition follows the same three-level structure. Level 1 goals are entry-level tasks (buy equipment, start an activity). Level 2 goals require sustained effort (reach mid-range skill levels, repeat actions multiple times). Level 3 goals demand mastery (reach skill level 10, accumulate large Meow totals, or complete high-count requirements). Progress is saved when switching between ambitions, so players can swap freely without losing their work.1818The Zoi Card (press O) displays active ambition progress at a glance. This shows current goal levels and completion percentage. As of v0.5.0, the rewards screen shows improved visuals detailing exactly what was earned at each stage.2020Collection Log2222The Collection Log is a family-wide tracking system introduced in the v0.3.0 update alongside the free Island Getaway DLC. It records every gathered item any household member has ever collected, organized into six categories: Fishing, Farming, Mining, Jewels, Tools, and Info.2424Access the Collection Log by clicking the book-shaped icon below the Property notification board on the right side of the screen. The log displays silhouettes for undiscovered items and full-color icons for collected ones, with hints about where to find missing entries.2626Collection Milestones2828MilestoneDetailsSet completionFilling all entries in a subcategory (e.g., all freshwater fish) unlocks exclusive furniture rewards.Category completionCompleting an entire main category (e.g., all of Fishing) unlocks more significant rewards.Full completionFilling the entire Collection Log across all six categories may unlock a hidden bonus reward.3030Since the log is shared across the household, different family members can specialize in different gathering activities. One Zoi might focus on fishing while another handles mining and a third manages gardening, all adding to the same log.3131Desired Life3333The Desired Life system provides 16 character archetypes, each pre-selecting a combination of traits, values, aligned skills, and a default ambition. Choosing a Desired Life sets up a character with built-in goals that serve as long-term milestones. For example, a Zoi with "Life of Creativity" starts with artistic traits and the Great Painter ambition.3535All 16 Desired Lives3838Desired LifeDefault AmbitionCore FocusLife of AbundanceLuxury MansionEconomic stability and comfortLife of AdvancementCompetent TalentContinuous growth and self-improvementLife of PerseveranceFitness MasterPhysical challenges and overcoming limitsLife of ContributionCheerful NeighborPositive impact on communityLife of CreativityGreat PainterInnovation and artistic expressionLife of ExcitementFamous HackerThrills and unpredictable momentsLife of Familial DevotionLoving FamilyStarting and nurturing a large familyLife of FreedomNation's SweetheartLiving without external constraintsLife of HarmonyPlant LoverCoexistence with natureLife of RespectabilityNext Gen LeaderUpholding beliefs and leadershipLife of RomanceNation's SweetheartRomantic relationships with multiple ZoisA Life of Self-CreationNone (freeform)Complete creative freedom, no presetsLife of SimplicityTranquil MindMinimalism and reduced consumptionLife of StabilityWealthFollowing norms and social conventionsLife of TranquilityTranquil MindInner peace, free from stress and conflictLife of WisdomKnowledge SeekerAccumulating wisdom through learning4040The Desired Life is only a starting template. Players can change the pre-selected traits, ambition, and skills at any point during gameplay. Selecting "A Life of Self-Creation" leaves all fields blank, giving full control to the player.4141Skill Milestones4343Each of the game's skills has 10 levels, and reaching certain thresholds unlocks new abilities, interactions, or item access. These level-ups function as skill milestones.4545Milestone TypeExampleSkill level thresholdsReaching Cooking level 6 unlocks new recipes; level 10 completes the Master Chef ambitionTool tier accessHigher Collecting skill unlocks use of Gold and Diamond pickaxesCareer promotionsSkill requirements gate career promotions (e.g., Rhetoric level 6 for Next Gen Leader)Competition eligibilityPerformance level 10 increases win chances in singing competitionsAmbition completionMany Level 3 ambition goals require reaching skill level 104747Relationship Milestones4848The Shared Memories feature, accessible through the Relationships tab (press R), records significant events between two Zois. Marriage, becoming business partners, major conflicts, and other relationship landmarks are logged in a Relationship Log that shows how each Zoi feels about past events.5050Key relationship milestones include forming a family, reaching True Love status, achieving BFF status with 10 different Zois (required for the Cheerful Neighbor ambition), and completing partner conversations for the Loving Family ambition. The v0.4.0 update also introduced funeral properties and urn generation, making death itself a tracked family milestone.5252Memory System (Upcoming)5454A full Memory and Diary system is planned as part of the 2026 roadmap. This system will allow Zois to recall past interactions and have those memories affect future conversations. The Shared Memories relationship log is considered the foundation for this broader feature. The developers have confirmed that the diary will log significant life events, daily activities, and personal milestones, though the full implementation was not available during Early Access as of March 2026.5656Steam Achievements5959As of March 2026, inZOI does not have Steam achievements. The Steam store page shows zero achievements for the title. Community discussion on the topic has been active since before the Early Access launch, with players requesting traditional achievement popups tied to gameplay milestones like career promotions, relationship events, collection completion, and building accomplishments.6161Developers have not made a public statement confirming or denying plans for Steam achievements. Community sentiment generally expects achievements to arrive closer to the full 1.0 release rather than during Early Access, since the game's core systems are still being expanded.6363Tips6565Use the Zoi Card (press O) to track active ambition progress without opening extra menus.The Collection Log is family-wide, so assign different household members to specialize in different gathering activities for faster completion.Switching ambitions does not reset progress. Feel free to experiment with different ambitions and return to previous ones later.Check the Collection Log hints for undiscovered items. Silhouette descriptions often specify which region or mining spot type to target.Desired Life is just a starting point. Change any component at any time if your playstyle evolves.
