11Overview22Grouping Zois shipped in v0.5.0 on December 23, 2025; the March 26, 2026 v0.7.0 anniversary update expanded the activity library. The system lets multiple Zois participate in shared activities together rather than performing actions in parallel. Group Interactions complement the existing autonomous behavior and multitasking system by enabling cooperative gameplay where Zois deliberately interact with the same object or activity.44The v0.7.0 update introduced a substantial library of group activities spanning fitness, music, intellectual pursuits, and seasonal fun. Some activities require specific objects (a picnic mat, an outdoor tub, a snowy area), while others can be initiated wherever Zois are gathered.66Confirmed Group Activities88The v0.7.0 patch documented these specific group activities:1010ActivityNotesHave a Pillow FightConfirmed group action. Requires multiple Zois in a shared bedroom or seating area.Build a Snowman TogetherOutdoor cooperative activity available in winter weather and during the snowy festival window.Enjoy Lower-Body Soak TogetherRequires a compatible outdoor tub or hot tub object. Multiple Zois can soak together.Snuggle and TalkAvailable on picnic mats. Cooperative cozy interaction.Give Kiss PerformanceScripted wedding interaction added with the v0.7.0 wedding overhaul.Dance on the TableAvailable on shorter rectangular tables. Multiple Zois can climb and dance together.1313Categorized Group Activities1414In addition to the named interactions above, v0.7.0 added structured groups of activities tied to specific skills and venues. The exact named activities within each group are not all enumerated in patch notes, but the totals are confirmed:1616Group TypeCountNotesFitness Group Activities12Cooperative workouts, group exercises, and fitness drills. Best run at gyms, parks, or outdoor fitness equipment locations.Instrument Group Activities6Multi-Zoi musical performances tied to the Instruments skill. Best at homes with multiple instruments or at karaoke venues.Critical Thinking Group Activities4Cooperative intellectual pursuits, study groups, and problem-solving activities.1818Birthday Parties as Group Events1919Birthday parties were upgraded to a full social event type in v0.7.0. Compared to the standard party event, birthdays gained:2121Door permissions for guests: Hosts can configure who is allowed in which areas of the house during the party.Birthday cake interactions: Guests can sing, applaud, and gather around the cake to celebrate the aging-up Zoi.Late RSVP cancellations: Invited Zois can RSVP late or cancel close to the event time. The system handles these gracefully.2423Later group workflows add practical coordination. v0.10.0 makes group members move to a chosen destination; members too far away travel there independently. A Zoi with a high Friendship, Romance or Business relationship can be invited to stay overnight, leaving the next morning. v0.11.0 social events begin only once all participants arrive, then move them to assigned positions and run activities faster; important-event and player-organized-event participants do not leave. These are controls for groups of Zois, not evidence that this feature launches an online multiplayer session.2625Connection to Other Systems2827Multitasking lets individual Zois perform multiple actions in parallel. Group Interactions are different: they are coordinated cooperative actions where multiple Zois participate in the same single activity.Social Events covers the broader event system. Birthday parties, weddings, and other gatherings can incorporate group interactions during the event.Smart Zoi autonomous behavior may initiate group interactions when multiple Zois are nearby and have compatible needs or moods. Smart Zoi handles the choreography of who joins and when.Memory System records significant group activities as memories. A successful pillow fight or snowman build can become a positive memory tied to the participating Zois.3029Version History3231VersionDateChangev0.5.0December 23, 2025Initial multitasking and grouping systems added. Grouped Zois prioritize interactions with group members, and some cooperative actions require a group.v0.7.0March 26, 2026Group Interactions feature added with named cooperative activities (Pillow Fight, Snowman, Lower-Body Soak, Snuggle and Talk, Dance on Table) plus 12 fitness, 6 instrument, and 4 critical thinking grouped activities. Birthday parties became full social events with door permissions and late-RSVP support.3433Tips3534Place a picnic mat outdoors to enable Snuggle and Talk for couples. The shared outdoor environment also supports several fitness group activities.Outdoor tubs and hot tubs unlock the Lower-Body Soak Together activity. Multiple Zois can soak simultaneously.Build a Snowman Together is winter-only. Wait for snowfall or place the activity during the in-game winter calendar window.Pillow fights work in shared bedrooms or seating areas with multiple Zois present. Children and teens often initiate them autonomously.Birthday parties with the new door-permission system let hosts restrict guests to certain rooms (for example, keeping the kids' play area separate from the adult lounge).3736See Also3938Social Events covers the broader event system.
