Social events are organized gatherings that bring Zois together for shared experiences. Three core event types have been available since early access launch: Parties, Dates, and Weddings. The v0.4.0 update added ten additional social event types, including Blind Dates, Group Study sessions, and Fitness Club meetings. Events are planned through the Events app on the in-game smartphone and can be customized with guest lists, dress codes, venue choices, and behavioral guidelines. Successfully hosting events builds relationships and creates lasting memories for participating Zois.
There are two ways to initiate a social event:
Press P to open the smartphone.
Tap the Events app.
Find an open timeslot on your Zoi's schedule and click "Make Event."
Choose the event type (Party, Date, or Wedding).
Name the event and set the duration. Parties require at least a two-hour block.
Select the venue location.
Invite guests (up to 10 for Parties and Weddings).
Set a dress code for attendees.
Choose recommended and prohibited actions.
Confirm. The game will suggest preparation items based on your choices.
Interact with another Zoi and choose to ask them on a date, propose a party, or propose marriage. Dates scheduled this way are automatically set for one hour after the interaction. Weddings planned through a proposal are scheduled for noon the following day.
Parties are the most flexible event type. They require no prerequisites and can be planned at any time as long as a two-hour block is available. Up to ten guests can be invited. When naming a party, you can give it any theme: "Housewarming," "Birthday Party," "Game Night," or anything else you want. During the party, your Zoi can greet arriving guests, light candles on birthday cakes, start group activities, and interact freely. Parties always conclude with a group photo opportunity where all attendees gather for a commemorative snapshot.
Dates are romantic events that require an existing relationship. To schedule a date, speak to another Zoi and use the "Romance" interaction to ask them out. Once they accept, the date is automatically scheduled one hour later. During a date, Zois can compliment each other's outfits, hold hands, cuddle, and perform other romantic interactions that deepen their bond. Dates strengthen romantic relationships and create lasting memories between partners.
Weddings represent the most significant social event in inZOI. They require a prior engagement (one Zoi must have proposed and been accepted). Wedding planning involves several decisions:
Guest list: Invite up to ten attendees
Wedding party: Assign roles like best man, maid of honor
Officiant: Choose who performs the ceremony
Venue: Pick any lot, then use the city management menu to access and decorate it
Dress code: Set formal attire expectations for guests
After the ceremony, the newlyweds establish shared housing. If both Zois had separate homes, the game prompts you to distribute assets between the two households. Weddings also end with a group photo opportunity, just like parties.
When planning any event, you can set behavioral guidelines for guests. Actions are organized into categories:
Category | Examples |
|---|---|
Indoor Activity | Watch TV, play video games, read books |
Food & Cooking | Cook meals, eat snacks, bake cakes |
Hobbies & Leisure | Play instruments, paint, play chess |
Outdoor Activity | Swim, exercise, garden |
Child Activities | Play with toys, do homework |
Conversation | Chat, hug, argue, tell jokes |
Mark actions as "recommended" to encourage guests toward specific activities, or "prohibited" to prevent unwanted behavior. For example, a Housewarming party might recommend cleaning and helping around the house while prohibiting sleeping, while a Game Night party could recommend playing video games and chess.
Each event can specify a dress code. Guests will attempt to match the requested style when they arrive. This applies to Parties and Weddings.
The v0.4.0 update, released in October 2025, introduced ten new social event types and one surprise event:
Blind Date: A date with someone your Zoi has not met before, letting new romantic connections form
Group Study: An academic gathering where Zois study together and boost their skills
Fitness Club: An exercise-focused meetup that improves physical fitness for all participants
Seven additional social event types expanding the range of group activities available to Zois
These new events allow other Zois to visit your home, adding variety to daily routines. Separately, the same update introduced a Burglar Break-In event: a random occurrence where a burglar attempts to enter your lot. This is not a social event you plan but rather an unscripted encounter that adds unpredictability to gameplay.
At the conclusion of Parties and Weddings, all attending Zois gather for a group photo. The photo is saved to the Zoi's memories and can be viewed later. Group photos serve as a commemorative record of the event and the relationships formed or strengthened during it.
Plan events during times when invited guests are free. Check their schedules if possible before sending invitations.
Keep the guest list manageable. Ten is the maximum, but smaller gatherings can be easier to direct.
Use recommended actions to steer the mood. Setting "Cook meals" as recommended at a dinner party ensures guests actually cook rather than watching TV.
Decorate the venue before the event starts. For Weddings, use the city management menu to place chairs, arches, and decorations on the lot.
Events can be cancelled at any time through the schedule if plans change.
When building custom lots, leave enough clear space near the door for interactions to trigger properly. Objects placed too close to entrances can block event mechanics.
