Revision 1

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

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.
