It focuses on building and nurturing family bonds through conversation and emotional connection. The three milestone levels are:3838LevelRequirementsLevel 1Form a family (get married); Have a positive family conversation with your Partner 3 timesLevel 2Have a positive family conversation with your Partner 20 times; Have a sentimental family conversation with a Family member 10 times while Touched or SentimentalLevel 3Have a positive family conversation with your Partner 50 times; Have a positive family conversation with a Child 30 times4040Completing each level rewards Meow Coins. Level 1 requires marriage, so building a romantic relationship to the point of a proposal and wedding is the first major milestone. Level 2 has a mood requirement: you need to have sentimental conversations specifically while your Zoi is Touched or Sentimental. The Volunteer trait's frequent Sentimental emotion makes this requirement much easier to fulfill naturally.4141Level 3 requires 30 positive conversations with a Child, meaning you need to have children in your household. Pregnancy, adoption, or moving in with existing children are all paths to meeting this requirement.4343Aligned Skills4545The Life of Familial Devotion aligns with five skills centered on communication, domestic management, and family care.4747SkillHow to Level UpRhetoricGreet people, hold conversations, practice speeches in the mirrorMedia ProductionTake selfies, make videos, post content onlineCookingCook meals at home, watch cooking shows on TVHouseworkClean the house, do laundry, wash dishes, organize furnitureParentingCare for children and toddlers (note: may not be fully implemented in Early Access)5050Rhetoric is important for the conversation-heavy Loving Family ambition.
