UPDATE: So I moved back to Cahaya with my main zoi and he is gay for sure. I checked the dudes I usually spoke to and some new ones and they were still only into females. After creating a new gay male and/or a lesbian female, after adding either to my family it fixed my problem in Cahaya. All the dudes I previously spoke to are now interested in all genders and now strangers who I don’t know yet are interested in romance with the same sex.
Summary: Add a new gay family member and it should fix the problem!
UPDATE: So I moved back to the city and ended up making a new family of one gay to merge with my existing family and after I did that all the male who were only into female only were finally interested in female, male, and nonbinary!
I feel like if I did the same thing in Cahaya it might fix the bug. As bad as it sounds, I could add a gay member and then remove them forever to fix my problem of finding love in the wilds. Sorry bro, no hard feelings. Hehe.
I’m walking around town and checking everything out and talking with the NPCs and literally every single male is only attracted to female. I haven’t ran into a single male that has either a female/male interest or just male interest. Has there even been an update for the LGBTQ thing or are they still working on that bug?
Some forums state that it took a long while for gay/lesbian npcs to show up but I didn’t see any proof. Does anyone know about this?
Below is what I found according to AI. It’s frustrating that the only thing you can make gay is yourself with no hope of finding someone to relate in the wild like in real life. Like, “Here you go, you can make your character gay now but good luck actually trying to build anything with him/her.”
It’s almost an insult, especially with no one on the INZOI team responding to or announcing any new updates on the matter.
AI Overview
Yes, InZOI implemented an update around June 2025 that allows player-created ZoIs to form romantic relationships regardless of gender
, addressing the previously existing bug where gay ZoIs would not spawn or form relationships with NPCs. However, as of at least early March 2025, and even after the update, there was still no feature or way to have randomly spawned NPC townies be gay or non-heterosexual, with the focus being on the player’s own character.
What the Update Addressed
-
The June 2025 update enabled your own created ZoI to form romantic relationships with other ZoIs, regardless of gender.
-
The game initially seemed to have a bug where only straight relationships were possible or advertised, and the lack of non-straight options was a significant concern for players.
What Hasn’t Changed (As of Early June 2025)
-
The update did not enable the spontaneous spawning of gay NPC townies in the world. The primary focus was on allowing your own created character to have same-sex relationships.
-
Future Possibilities for NPCs:
Some players suggest that any addition of gay NPCs would be a larger code rewrite and may require a toggleable option rather than being enabled by default for everyone.
In Summary
If you want your own created character to have a same-sex relationship, you can now do so. However, if you were hoping to see randomly appearing gay townies in your world, that feature was not included in the June 2025 update.
