Premade Families
Overview of premade families in inZOI, the non-player families created by inZOI Studio that populate each city with pre-established traits, desired lives, and backstories. Covers their role in the simulation, how they interact with player households, and their presence across Dowon, Bliss Bay, and Kucingku.
Premade families are non-player families created by inZOI Studio that populate every game world with pre-established fixed attributes. These families are always present in every new game, living in designated Lots and Housing across Dowon, Bliss Bay, and Kucingku. They serve as the foundation of each city's community, providing a populated world for player-created Zois to interact with from the very start.
How Premade Families Work
Each premade family comes with fixed attributes that define their personality and lifestyle:
Traits: Each family member has a pre-assigned personality trait from the 18 Enneagram-based types
Desired Lives: Pre-set life goals that guide their autonomous behavior and ambitions
Relationships: Established bonds between family members (spouses, parent-child, siblings)
Jobs and Careers: Some premade Zois hold jobs at businesses and organizations around the city
Homes: Pre-built lots with furniture and decorations matching the family's lifestyle
Role in the Simulation
Premade families serve several important functions in the inZOI simulation:
They populate cities so the world feels alive and inhabited from the start
They provide potential friends, rivals, romantic interests, and neighbors for player Zois
Their Karma levels and behaviors contribute to city-wide dynamics like Rumors
They hold jobs at various employers, filling roles that keep the city's economy running
They participate in Social Events and public activities
Interaction with Player Households
Players can interact with premade families in many ways:
Build Friendships and Romance relationships with premade Zois
Invite premade Zois to Social Events and parties
Work alongside premade Zois at shared employers
Become neighbors and visit each other's homes
Date, marry, and start families with premade Zois
Premade Zois operate under the same autonomous behavior system as player Zois. They go to work, maintain their homes, build relationships, and pursue their Desired Lives independently of player direction.
City Distribution
Each city has its own set of premade families that reflect the city's character and culture:
City | Setting | Family Character |
|---|---|---|
Dowon | Seoul-inspired urban metropolis | Families reflect Korean urban culture, K-pop influences, and corporate lifestyles |
Bliss Bay | Santa Monica-inspired coastal city | Families reflect laid-back beach culture, surfing lifestyle, and entertainment industry |
Kucingku | Bali-inspired tropical island | Families reflect Southeast Asian resort culture and island living |
Playing as Premade Families
While premade families are designed as NPCs, players can switch to playing any premade family through the household management system. This allows players to experience the pre-built backstories and starting situations that inZOI Studio has crafted. Playing premade families can be a good way to learn the game's mechanics in a pre-furnished home with established social connections.
