Can My Zois Have Children? Having Babies in inZOI Explained

Expanding a Zoi family with children is a core part of the life simulation experience for many players.

Can Zois in the game Have Children?​

Yes, they absolutely can! There are a couple of ways to add younger Zois to your household, either through gameplay or during initial setup.

Method 1: Pregnancy (The Natural Way)​

The primary way for Zois to have biological children during gameplay is through pregnancy. Here's how it works in the current Early Access version:

  1. Marriage Requirement: Currently, the "Suggest Having a Baby" interaction is only available between married Zois. See How to Get Married Guide.
  2. Relationship Level: While not explicitly gated, a positive romantic/family relationship between the spouses is generally needed for the interaction to appear readily or succeed. See Relationships Explained.
  3. Gender Requirement (Current): As of Early Access launch, only heterosexual married couples (one Male, one Female Zoi) can initiate the "Suggest Having a Baby" interaction leading to pregnancy. Same-sex couples cannot conceive naturally in the base game currently.
  4. Initiate the Interaction: Select one married Zoi, click on their spouse, navigate to Romance interactions, and choose "Suggest Having a Baby".
  5. Confirmation & "WooHoo": If the interaction is accepted, the Zois will typically go to a bed for a censored "Set the Mood" (WooHoo) sequence (often obscured by hearts/effects).
  6. Pregnancy Test: Afterward, the female Zoi will often get a notification or a moodlet prompting them to Take a Pregnancy Test (usually by interacting with a toilet). Clicking the notification or the toilet will trigger the test.
  7. Confirmation: A pop-up notification will confirm whether the pregnancy was successful.
  8. Pregnancy Stages: If successful, the pregnant Zoi will go through pregnancy, typically lasting around 3 in-game days. You might notice mood swings, specific urges (like cravings), and eventually, a visible baby bump. Editing the pregnant Zoi's appearance is usually disabled during this time.
  9. Giving Birth: After the 3 days, a notification "Give Birth" will appear near the pregnant Zoi's portrait. Clicking this (or waiting for it to happen automatically) triggers a short cutscene (often implying a hospital visit), after which a Newborn Zoi appears in a crib in the household. You'll be prompted to name the baby.

Method 2: Adoption (Coming Soon!)​

Recognizing the limitations of the pregnancy system, Krafton has planned an Adoption System.

  • Availability: This feature is scheduled to be added in the May 2025 Update, according to the Development Roadmap.
  • Functionality: While exact details aren't confirmed, adoption will likely allow single Zois or couples (regardless of gender combination) to add babies or potentially older children to their household through an in-game service (perhaps via the Smartphone or a dedicated agency). This will be the primary way for same-sex couples to have children within the game mechanics.

Method 3: Creating Children in Create-a-Zoi (CAZ)​

When you first create your family, you aren't limited to just adults.

  • Adding Children: In CAZ, after creating your initial Zoi(s), you can click the "+" icon to add more family members. You can set their age group to Child or Teenager.
  • Setting Relationships: When adding members, you define their relationship to the existing Zoi(s) (e.g., "Son," "Daughter," "Sibling").

This method allows you to start a game with an already established family unit including children, skipping the baby and toddler stages if desired.

Important Limitations & Considerations​

  • Household Size Limit: A household can have a maximum of 8 Zois. If your household is already full, any attempt to "Suggest Having a Baby" will automatically fail. Someone needs to move out or pass away to make room for a newborn via pregnancy.
  • Age Restrictions: Only Zois aged Young Adult or older can initiate pregnancy or (presumably) adoption. Children and Teens cannot have children.
  • Twins/Triplets: While not explicitly confirmed as a controllable feature, early promotional material and gameplay hints suggest that having twins (or more) might be possible through pregnancy, likely as a random chance event.

In conclusion, yes, your Zois can definitely have children! While the base game's natural pregnancy currently requires a married heterosexual couple, the upcoming Adoption system will provide more inclusive options for family building. And, of course, you can always start your story with children directly from Create-a-Zoi.
