Group Interactions
April 25, 2026 at 11:21 AM
Initial version
Group Interactions are a social feature added in the March 26, 2026 v0.7.0 anniversary update. 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.
The 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.
The v0.7.0 patch documented these specific group activities:
Activity | Notes |
|---|---|
Have a Pillow Fight | Confirmed group action. Requires multiple Zois in a shared bedroom or seating area. |
Build a Snowman Together | Outdoor cooperative activity available in winter weather and during the snowy festival window. |
Enjoy Lower-Body Soak Together | Requires a compatible outdoor tub or hot tub object. Multiple Zois can soak together. |
Snuggle and Talk | Available on picnic mats. Cooperative cozy interaction. |
Give Kiss Performance | Scripted wedding interaction added with the v0.7.0 wedding overhaul. |
Dance on the Table | Available on shorter rectangular tables. Multiple Zois can climb and dance together. |
In 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:
Group Type | Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Fitness Group Activities | 12 | Cooperative workouts, group exercises, and fitness drills. Best run at gyms, parks, or outdoor fitness equipment locations. |
Instrument Group Activities | 6 | Multi-Zoi musical performances tied to the Instruments skill. Best at homes with multiple instruments or at karaoke venues. |
Critical Thinking Group Activities | 4 | Cooperative intellectual pursuits, study groups, and problem-solving activities. |
Birthday parties were upgraded to a full social event type in v0.7.0. Compared to the standard party event, birthdays gained:
Door 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.
Multitasking 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.
Version | Date | Change |
|---|---|---|
v0.5.0 | December 23, 2025 | Initial multitasking system added, allowing some action overlap. Primarily autonomous-only at this stage. |
v0.7.0 | March 26, 2026 | Group 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. |
Place 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).
Social Events covers the broader event system. Multitasking covers the parallel-action system. Interactions lists individual social interactions. Marriage and Wedding covers wedding events that use group interactions. Calendar and Birthday System tracks birthdays that trigger party events. March 2026 Update details the v0.7.0 anniversary release.
