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:
- 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.
- 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:
- A notification will prompt you to “Give Birth.”
- Clicking this will trigger a brief cutscene showing the Zoi in a hospital bed with the newborn.
- Post-cutscene, the baby will appear in a crib within your residence.
- 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.
