The new inZOI v0.5.1 hotfix has been released for Windows and macOS and it's actually a quite significant one if you've been experiencing some weirdness or progression issues. This update isn't adding content but is instead about fine-tuning and making the experience feel a bit more rock solid.
Many of the fixes are for systems you interact with on a daily basis such as businesses, NPC behaviour and family progression. There are also a number of lingering issues related to Zois, navigating the world and interacting with objects that should now be completely resolved.
Build Mode and character customisation have also received some nice clean-up. If you've been experiencing crashes, broken interactions or things just not working as intended, this patch should make a difference.
Gameplay fixes
The bulk of the update targets gameplay systems, especially around businesses and NPC logic.
This includes:
- Fixed blocked entry when purchasing NPC-run business lots during operating hours
- Fixed police NPCs continuing to follow players after arrest dialogue
- Fixed imprisoned Zois not being released while other actions were active
- Fixed trials failing to progress due to missing Opportunity Cards
- Fixed incorrect payouts from paid lectures during business operations
- Fixed food items selling for the same price regardless of quality
- Fixed business lot information not updating after deleting a family
- Fixed broken interactions with fruit baskets on business lots
- Fixed fishing rods that couldn’t be picked up after being placed
- Fixed progression stalling after selecting Continue in the Ascend popup
- Fixed incorrect family tree displays after moving cities
- Fixed Zois appearing from below ground when using Water Taxis
Character creation and build mode fixes
A few smaller but noticeable fixes:
- Fixed disabled colour wheel for Modkit-created clothing in CAZ
- Fixed ceiling lights moving incorrectly when adjusting roofs
- Fixed Snowflake Light variants sharing the same appearance
Crash and stability improvements
Fixed multiple crashes occurring under specific conditions and improved overall stability on both Windows and macOS.
