Freelance careers were added in the May 2025 update, offering Zois the freedom to earn income through creative work without a traditional employer or fixed schedule. Freelancers create sellable products using their Skills and sell them through the Pocket Market or at community spaces.
Available Freelance Paths
Freelance Path | Key Skill | Products Created |
|---|---|---|
Painter | Art | Paintings on easels, sold via Pocket Market or displayed |
Author | Critical Thinking | Written books, sold through publishing system |
Musician | Instrument | Composed music tracks, sold through various channels |
Programmer | Programming | Software and programs, sold through Pocket Market |
Video Creator | Media Production | Videos, sold and shared through various platforms |
How Freelancing Works
Unlike traditional Jobs and Careers, freelancers have no fixed schedule, no employer, and no promotion ladder. Income is entirely based on the quality and quantity of products created and sold. Higher Skills levels produce higher-quality work that sells for more Meow.
No commute or work hours required
Income varies based on skill level and product quality
Products can be created at any time from home
Multiple freelance paths can be pursued simultaneously
No risk of termination for missed shifts
Selling Creative Work
Freelancers sell their products through several channels:
Pocket Market: List items for sale online; buyers purchase and items are delivered
Market stalls: Place items outside the home lot for passersby to buy
Direct sales: Sell paintings, books, and other items through in-game interactions
Business: Display and sell creative work through an owned establishment
Skill-Income Relationship
The quality and value of freelance work scales directly with skill level. At lower levels, products sell for modest amounts. At maximum skill levels, masterwork items can fetch prices competitive with high-tier career salaries.
Skill Level | Product Quality | Approximate Value |
|---|---|---|
1-2 | Basic | Low Meow returns |
3-4 | Good | Moderate Meow returns |
5 (Max) | Masterwork | High Meow returns, comparable to career pay |
