when my zoi is supposed to go to work, the supposed work schedule disappeared and they end up not earning money. i work as a hatching support volunteer (sea turtle conservation, 3 days/week). at first, my zoi would work for 2 days a week, after i got married my zoi’s work schedule disappeared and it became 1 day/week.

just wondering does anyone encounter work schedule issues? also my schedule would suddenly pop up random visits to beach/park, i didn’t even scheduled it in the first place.

Hello,

**Marriage changes the Zoi’s priorities** :  
The game automatically adjusts routines to include **social or family activities** , which can reduce work days.

**The planner is semi-automated** :  
inZOI uses a system where certain events (work, appointments, leisure) are **auto-generated** based on the Zoi’s lifestyle choices.  
If autonomy is enabled, the Zoi may **schedule outings on their own** , even without player input.

**Volunteer jobs (like hatching support)** behave differently:  
These roles aren’t paid like regular jobs and have a **more flexible schedule** , which can be affected by other commitments.

## ✅ What to Try

- **Manually check the planner** :  
Open the Zoi’s phone → Planner app → edit or delete unwanted events.  
You can also click on the map → “Edit Planner”.

- **Disable autonomy** :  
In the game settings, turn off autonomy to prevent the Zoi from adding events on their own.

- **Re-add work days manually** :  
Add the work days back into the planner to ensure the Zoi attends regularly.

- **Watch out for post-marriage bugs** :  
Some players have reported bugs after marriage (e.g., missing family members or events). It’s a good idea to **save before and after major life changes**.

- 📱 ZOI phone → ‘Schedule’ app
- 🗺 City map → ‘Edit Schedule’ button at the top of the screen 1 2
- ✅ Steps to add or modify working days
- Open the schedule via your phone or the map.
- Click on the ‘+’ in the desired time slot.

**Choose:**

- ‘Make Event’ → to create an event (appointment, party, wedding, etc.)
- ‘Select Location’ → to send the ZOI to a specific location (such as the workplace).

**Once the event has been added:**

- You can adjust the duration using the arrows.
- You can move the event on the timeline.
- You can delete it if necessary 2.

### 💼 What you need to know about jobs

When your ZOI gets a job, the working hours are automatically added to the schedule as blue bars.

You can change these hours if the employer allows it.

There are two types of jobs:

- Active: you accompany your ZOI to work.
- Passive: your ZOI goes alone and you do not control it during working hours.

This is very helpful, thank you! I have a question. I have a ZOI who works at the Sawara Law Firm, and she lives in Cahaya. I do not see the Sawara Law Firm as an option when selecting a location. Where can I send the ZOI so she goes to work?
