I know it only happened to me once, but I want to know when it’s safe for me to play InZoi without the threat of the game forcefully moving my households out of their home and then being deleted by the game without my input.

Hey there =) When did this terrible bug happen to you? Was there any of the major updates involved? :thinking:

3

This used to happen for me as well quite some months ago. At least 5-6 or maybe even more.

At the beginning of the early access of Inzoi when I moved in other families which I was not playing actively they sometimes used to just disappear. As I am mainly playing rotationally and sometimes do not visit a family for many weeks before I am back at that household, this was really annoying when the family was gone.

I cannot say if it is fully safe now. But what I can say is that I am playing in my current rotational save in Bliss Bay since end of February - I started with 12 singe Zois - so 12 single households. By now they are partly married to each other and some have children, thus the household number is now down to 8. And since February none of my Zois went missing.

Not that I know of, but I know it happened only once last year around May, since then I only played with one household rather the usual rotational household style I usually play with.

Hi yeah, turns out it was fixed in the June update, sorry I rarely come to InZoi forums to check these things.

Hi again, yeah um this forced deletion thing it still happens but with “ambient background zois” so yeah still a problem.

@cartoontrain94 with that you mean not Zois living in houses, right?

Late reply since a recent update resolved it but yeah.

Glad it’s been resolved now. Please mark the post which helped you the most as “solution”, so other users with similar issues can get help faster :smiley:

Clarification: After I move them back in.

1.There was a bug that allowed more than 8 ZOI… this used to happen a lot with the “Collins” family.
2.There was another bug that deleted households that was fixed by 0.2.0 or 0.3.0 (But remained present on old saves, or used to based on old patch notes).

So #1 is fixed, but you can install the bigger household mod that brings the limit back up to 14 zois.

For #2, the only solution is to export all your Zois of the affected family before the bug strikes, then recreate that family in CAZ (just add your members, recreate their clothes if you didnt export those, reselect the traits/characteristics and preferences (so note those).

Lots of work for #2 , but nomally this is supposed to be fixed
Make sure you uncheck the fact that they can divorce though. That’s new as of 0.10.4 and already a pain.

@Samuriko thanks for explaining the background. I was not aware of #1 and never noticed this. I definitely was impacted by #2 but really quite a while ago. It used to happen in my saves last year but since the save I started in February 2026 it never happened again. So might be that this was already fixed by then.
