Welcome to your complete walkthrough for building a character and setting up a family in inZOI. Whether you’re aiming to recreate a realistic home or craft a quirky group of Zois, this guide will walk you through every step of the process—from customizing facial features and traits to designing outfits and defining relationships. Let’s dive into your journey of bringing your dream Zoi world to life.
🧍 Getting Started with Character Creation
When you begin a new game, you’ll land on the character creation screen. Before you dive into customization, you can press the “Back” button to return to the main family setup screen—this is where you’ll adjust how your Zois are related.
🎮 Camera & Interface Controls

🧾 Setting Basic Info
Start with naming your character—enter a custom first and last name or generate one randomly. If you’ve played The Sims, the interface may feel familiar.
Select your Zoi’s:
-
Age group: Child, Teen, Young Adult, Adult, or Elder
-
Gender
-
Personality: Choose an archetype (e.g., Socialite) that influences their behavior and values
-
Life goal: Pick an aspiration that defines what your Zoi hopes to achieve—each comes with helpful descriptions
🎭 Using Presets & Fine-Tuning
Choose a base character (preset) to start with, then move into deep customization:
Face Customization
-
Pick from facial presets
-
Style the hair (length, color, highlights)
-
Use Symmetry Mode for balanced edits or go detailed for maximum control over features like:
-
Eye size/spacing
-
Nose shape
-
Jawline
-
Lip curve
-
🎨 Skin & Facial Details
Under Skin Options, pick a tone—go realistic or get wild (yes, Shrek green is a choice).
You can:
-
Use sliders or drag directly on the face
-
Add moles, freckles, scars, and custom face paint
-
Customize eyes with unique iris colors
-
Apply makeup (mostly geared toward female characters)
💪 Body Customization
Adjust your Zoi’s body shape with presets or tweak muscle tone, weight, and even body hair color (blue? sure, why not!).
Though there’s no hyper-detailed body editor, you’ll have plenty of control to bring your vision to life.
👗 Outfits & Personal Style
Outfits are divided by occasion—each with presets and customization options:
-
Everyday
-
Formal
-
Party
-
Sleepwear
-
Sportswear
-
Summer/Outerwear
Customize individual pieces like:
-
Tops (recolor or use AI-generated textures with prompts like “flower pattern”)
-
Bottoms, full sets, outerwear
-
Accessories: Hats, eyewear, earrings, wristwear, underwear, and shoes
You can also use the Craft Menu for advanced edits: recolor and retexture clothing elements in detail.
🏡 Creating Your Family
Once you’re happy with your character, it’s time to build their household.
-
You can add up to 8 Zois in one house
-
Create new characters from scratch or use random templates
-
Use the Relationship Menu to define roles:
-
Roommate

Romantic partner
-
Parent-child

Siblings, etc.
(Available options depend on age)

Relationships can evolve during gameplay, so nothing is permanent!
