What you could try is to change from saving into the cloud to local in steam (if it’s enabled)

And I don’t know about file paths on mac, but if it’s like in windows, maybe your game folder for the saves is not under ‘Documents’ or where the game ‘expects’ it(?)

Also if you haven’t already: maybe try not to ‘save and exit’ or ‘save’ but to ‘save as’ (?)

Hi @nissacashapp and @ceylan.a.2001,
Sorry for the inconvenience. To help us look into this issue in more detail, could you please share your save files with us? You can find the instructions in the guide below:

[Guide] How to Send User Files to The inZOI Team (Updated)

It would also be a big help if you could let us know the following:

  1. Does the same issue occur when you start a new game?
  2. Are you using multiple PCs?
  3. Do you happen to be using more than one account?

Thanks a lot for your cooperation!

Hi @ceylan.a.2001, thanks for your reply and for sharing the file.
To review it properly, we’ll need you to zip and send the entire folder that contains the save file.
Sorry for the trouble — could you please check and send it again?

Hi, I have the same problem.

the files are saved on the, what I believe to be the right place ? Still when I want to keep playing the continue option is not showed in the main menu, I have tried to make a new game, save it, go to the main menu and than the continue option is shown, but no game can be loaded …
Would be nice to have this solve promptly, since is not fun always start from 0 :broken_heart:

Path where game is saved?

After starting a new game and than loading main menu option continue is shown

But when is time to load a game nothing is shown …

Hi everyone, (@here)

After investigating this issue internally, we have identified it as being caused by Mac permission access settings. Please follow the steps below to resolve the issue.

  1. Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Files and Folders and check if inZOI has been properly added.

  2. If inZOI is not listed, uninstall inZOI via Steam and restart your Mac.

  3. After restarting your Mac, reinstall inZOI via Steam.

If the issue persists after following the steps above, please let us know.

HI AR_Flora

Thank you for your feedback, indeed It had “half permission” it appeared but it wasn’t “active”

Just for other people you need to go into the details and activate this little case.

Now all the games I have played are there !! thank you so much :smiley: :heart:
