Inzoi: How to Have a Baby

Bringing a new life into your Zoi household is a meaningful milestone in Inzoi. While the process is straightforward, there are specific steps and requirements to ensure a successful pregnancy and birth. This guide will walk you through each phase, from conception to welcoming your newborn.

Requirements for Pregnancy

To initiate a pregnancy in Inzoi, certain conditions must be met:

  • Marital Status: Only married couples can attempt to have a baby. The option to “Suggest Having a Baby” becomes available under the Romance interaction menu once two Zois are married.
  • Gender Pairing: Currently, only heterosexual couples can conceive. While same-sex marriage is supported, the adoption feature for same-sex couples is planned for a future update, expected in May 2025.
  • Household Size: Ensure your household has fewer than 8 Zois. If the household is at capacity, pregnancy attempts will fail.

Initiating Pregnancy

Once the above criteria are satisfied:

  1. Suggest Having a Baby: Navigate to the Romance interactions and select “Suggest Having a Baby.” If the partner agrees, a cutscene will play, depicting the couple’s attempt to conceive.
  2. Pregnancy Test: After the interaction, a red exclamation mark will appear above the female Zoi’s portrait. Click it to have her take a pregnancy test. A positive result confirms the pregnancy.

Pregnancy Progression

Pregnancy in Inzoi spans three in-game days, divided into early, middle, and late stages. During this period:

  • Physical Changes: The pregnant Zoi’s belly will visibly grow.
  • Mood Modifiers: Expect mood swings and potential morning sickness.
  • Interactions: New interactions become available, such as:
    • Announcing the pregnancy to other Zois.
    • Asking the partner to feel the baby.
    • Shopping for baby items online.
    • Viewing ultrasound images on the phone.

Note: Editing the appearance of a pregnant Zoi is disabled until after childbirth.

Giving Birth

On the third day:

  1. A notification will prompt you to “Give Birth.”
  2. Clicking this will trigger a brief cutscene showing the Zoi in a hospital bed with the newborn.
  3. Post-cutscene, the baby will appear in a crib within your residence.
  4. You’ll be prompted to name the baby.

Post-Birth Considerations

  • Crib Placement: The crib is automatically placed but can be moved in Build Mode.
  • Baby Interactions: While you can’t carry the baby around, interactions like feeding and soothing are available.
  • Future Updates: Features like adoption and more interactive baby care are anticipated in upcoming updates.
