Dowon Soldier career never starts (Bliss Bay Navy works) — v0.10.3

Platform: Steam / Windows

Mods: never used

The Soldier career in Dowon is unplayable. An employed adult Zoi has no way to leave for the off-site / rabbit-hole job (Military Manpower Administration). There is no “Go to work” option on scheduled workdays.
The same career line works in Bliss Bay (Navy): the Zoi leaves, the shift starts, and work choices appear.
In Dowon there is also no attendance penalty and no firing for missed days, so the work shift does not seem to start at all.
Both Zois are adults with completed high school and university.

Thank you for reporting this. Does this bug happen on an older save file (= pre-v0.10.0) or with a brand new one? :thinking:

After the September update (v0.10.0 / now on v0.10.3) I started a new household / new game. The Dowon Soldier career still does not start there.
I also have Bliss Bay where the Navy career works (Zoi leaves and work choices appear).

I think it’d be helpful for the team if you upload an affected save file here too. There are also other ways to send it to the team directly if you want it to stay private: How to Send User Files to The inZOI Team (Updated) → If your save file folder is too big, please check out my guide to figure out which save file you can send instead: How to locate which Save File to send [Guide] :smiley:

Bliss Bay Navy, current save, Friday morning (work hours, ~9:00 a.m.):

  • Career: Navy / Soldier. Taxi is on the street.
  • Clicking the taxi only shows walk / run / pose / clean / call. No work option.
  • Clicking the Zoi → Workplace actions only shows “Take time off” and “Use sick leave”. There is no “Go to work”.
  • The rabbit hole does not start.

Screenshots attached (taxi + workplace menu).

I no longer have the older broken Dowon Soldier save from after the September update. In a later brand-new Dowon game the Soldier rabbit hole did start once. This Bliss Bay save still exists if you need the file.

Yes, if you still have one of the save files, please consider uploading it here or via one of the other ways mentioned in the guide. I think this can help the team a lot :smiley:

Save is over 30 MB. Google Drive link (view only)

File: 20260904-015811.zip — current Bliss Bay Navy save (Soldier, no Go to work on Friday morning).

I think view-only isn’t the right choice, because the team might need to download the save file. Btw, I checked out the link and didn’t see the specific save game files, only the zoi portraits and family portraits :thinking: I’m not a pro when it comes to google drive, so maybe the save files appear once you change the permission.

The save file is in the zip: 20260904-015811.usvx (about 6.9 MB), plus the folder with portraits.
Drive preview only showed the Portrait images. Please Download the whole zip.
Viewer download is enabled.

Yes, it seems to work and the file is inside. Thank you for sharing =) I hope it gets fixed soon :folded_hands:

Thank you. I’ll keep the Drive link available.
