Desired Lives are long-term life orientations selected during Character Creation that define a Zoi's overall life direction. Each Desired Life recommends specific Traits, Values, and Skills that align with that lifestyle. While Desired Lives do not restrict gameplay, they influence Urges, Ambitions, and autonomous behavior when Smart Zoi is active.

How Desired Lives Affect Gameplay
Urges: Zois receive Urges aligned with their Desired Life more frequently
Ambitions: Certain Ambitions pair naturally with specific Desired Lives
Smart Zoi: When the Smart Zoi AI generates daily schedules, it considers the Desired Life orientation
Value Growth: Values associated with the chosen Desired Life develop faster
Life of Self-Discovery
The Life of Self-Discovery is a unique option with no specific recommendations for traits, values, or skills. It provides maximum flexibility for players who want to develop their Zoi's personality organically through gameplay rather than following a pre-defined path. This option works well for players who prefer emergent storytelling.
Choosing a Desired Life
When creating a new Zoi, consider the following:
Match the Desired Life with the Trait for consistent personality development
Skills listed under each Desired Life indicate which activities the Zoi will gravitate toward
Multiple Desired Lives share Cooking as a key skill, reflecting its universal importance
Romance-focused lives benefit from Charm and Rhetoric skills
Career-oriented lives benefit from Critical Thinking and Programming skills
