Overview
Part-time jobs are a planned feature for inZOI, scheduled for Q3 2026 according to the 2026 Roadmap. The feature will let Teenagers and other Zois take on flexible work, earning Meow and building skills before entering full-time careers. Part-time jobs will expand career availability across all age groups, not just teens.
What the roadmap says
The Q3 2026 section of the official roadmap states: "Teenagers can take on part-time work, earning Meow and building skills before entering the full workforce. Expanded career availability across all age groups." This suggests part-time jobs will:
Be available to Teenager-stage Zois, who currently have no career options
Provide a lower commitment than full-time careers
Offer Meow income and skill development
Potentially extend to other age groups for flexible work alongside full-time careers
Specific job types, pay rates, and scheduling details have not been announced as of February 2026.
Current teen income options
Until part-time jobs are added, Teenager Zois have limited options for earning Meow:
Item | Description |
|---|---|
Busking | If the Zoi has developed the Performance or Instrument skill, they can play for tips at public lots. |
Selling paintings | Developing the Art skill and selling finished paintings on the Pocket Market. |
Selling crafted items | Items created through Handiwork or other crafting skills can be sold. |
Household contributions through chores and housework | -- |
These methods require skill development and are less reliable than structured employment, which is why the community has been requesting part-time jobs since launch.
Related career features
Part-time jobs are part of a broader career expansion planned for 2026. The 2026 Roadmap also includes:
Feature | Description |
|---|---|
Q1 | Enhanced full-time job system with multiple jobs, interviews, remote work, and performance evaluations |
Q2 | Freelance careers (writing, photography, game development, blogging) |
Q2 | Taxi driver and elderly-specific careers |
Q3 | Part-time jobs and teenage careers (this feature) |
Together, these additions should give Zois at every life stage meaningful work options, from teenage part-time employment through elder careers.
