We were told this was fixed in the latest hotfix, but sadly that is not true.

This ZOI was created in 0.8.0, so he has ALL of the information properly filled-out.
Thank you for addressing ASAP as I want to export that guy before starting a new save with the recent update !

Oh my friend it’s the same for me too! :face_with_spiral_eyes:

I can confirm that it’s the same in my game. Hope this gets addressed soon :slightly_smiling_face:

Sorry to bump this, but it’s kind of a major issue to not be able to export zois to use in a future game.
Been waiting on this for a while now and I really want this fixed ASAP so I can return to the game.

Thank you for addressing quickly.

Me too! The CustomZOI cheat was fixed for NPC townies but now I can’t save my own Zois as Zoi Presets.

Still happening as of 0.9.4 - 2026.07.09

Thank you for addressing !

Still not fixed as of 0.9.5 – 2026.07.15

Can we put a bit of priority on this? I cannot export any family members of my new family, and I need to do that for any new games I envision. Thank you !

How to reproduce:

  • Activate cheats and type « Showzoiinfo true » and note the ID of this the zoi (say 21666).
  • Then you do « Customzoi 21666 »
  • You get the CAZ to edit your zoi but you have access to more options
  • Click « Zoi preset » at the bottom left
  • Then « Save » at the top right.

PS: Still doing the same thing when trying to export a fully “filed-in” zoi from in-game (See OP for more info on the Zoi’s “filled-in” fields) :

Jut so it is clear, even if I make a brand new game, I have the same issue.

I think I have found a work around

If you customzoi 000000 (where the 0’s are your zoiid) and try to save the preset, you get :

HOWEVER, if after getting to the Zoi screen from Customzoi 000000 you do the following:

  • Click “Back” at the top left (This brings you back to the game)
  • Redo the CustomZOI 000000,
  • click zoi preset,
  • and finally save ?

It will work.
So it looks like you need to do it twice.

So my conclusion is that the informations (name, trait, characteristics, and ambition) of the Zois are not saved and you need to run customzoi twice to fix this.
Once ‘fixed’ you can go about town and export as many zoi presets as you want, no longer blocked.

Man this one was a tough nut to crack.
Hopefully the dev team can figure out WHY it does that and fix it for good so we don’t have to do my trick.
