In the 0.8.0 update, the lights in the house remain on when Zoi falls asleep and do not automatically turn off.

  • Game Version:0.8.0

  • Platform: Steam windows

  • Mods: (Choose one: never used / removed / active)
    :round_pushpin:If you have used mods before, please list them: never used

  • Hardware Specifications & Operating System (OS version, CPU, GPU, RAM, storage…):AMD Ryzen 7 5700X GPU:3070 8GB RAM 32G

  • Steps to Reproduce: In the previous version, the lights would automatically turn off as soon as the Zoi fell asleep. However, this feature seems to be broken in the current build. The lights now stay on even when the Zoi is sleeping.

The lights remain on all the time during the day in my coffee shop as well.

I have the opposite problem, the light don’t turn on. It only happens in the house but not on public spaces

In the past, the house lights would automatically turn off when Zoi fell asleep.

My house is also always lit up.

so strange

The update most likely broke the automatic light shutoff. I also have lights on in my house while everyone is sleeping.

Yes, mine is the same

Can confirm this bug. The lights stay on in all of my save files, even though the whole household is asleep.


Yes, the same is true for my latest save file.

I can confirm that I have this error in the game as well. It appears that only desk lamps and backlighting are turning off automatically, but ceiling lights are not turning off


Can this problem still be solved?

  • Game Version: recent

The screenshot shows everything. This is the second family I have played where this is an issue.

Thank you for reporting this bug :slightly_smiling_face: Unfortunately, a lot of users, including myself, are currently experiencing this issue. Here’s the main thread regarding it: In the 0.8.0 update, the lights in the house remain on when Zoi falls asleep and do not automatically turn off.

→ Can someone from the team please merge them? Thank you in advance :folded_hands:

Hi @kzivkovic1 :blush:

Your post has been merged into the existing thread since it discusses the same issue of House lights staying on after a Zoi falls asleep instead of turning off automatically. This helps keep related information in one place. Thank you! :heart:

Still happening as of 2026.06.07, Version 0.8.6, brand new game as of yesterday.

Lights on the first floor all turned off :

Those of the second floor did not.

Thank you for addressing !

  • Game Version: 0.9.1

  • Platform: (Steam windows)

  • Mods: (Choose one: never used)

The automatic light shutdown has stopped working when Zoi goes to bed or leaves the house.

Can confirm this :slightly_smiling_face:

Please merge the following threads into one:

In the 0.8.0 update, the lights in the house remain on when Zoi falls asleep and do not automatically turn off.

[ 0.9.0 - Early Build ] Lights still do not auto-turn OFF/ON when sleeping or waking up.

Thank you in advance :folded_hands:

Yes confirmed as well. I tested it this morning before work.
