Before I start I just want to mention all of the tests I have already done:
I’ve removed every single mod (disabled from mods section AND manually moved to desktop).
I’ve tried “disabling” cheat mode, still didn’t work.
And finally: Created a whole new save file (with mods still disabled and manually moved to my desktop), disabled cheat mode (I’ve tried the interaction with cheat mode enabled and disabled) and finally I tried the interaction again multiple times, and it still didn’t work…I’ve tried taking control of the other Zoi to get them into the passenger seat directly and that wouldn’t work either…
The Issue:
Everytime I click on a Zoi to “Have Zoi Get in Car” option while my Zoi is in the drivers seat, the other Zoi will get into the car passenger seat and then promptly get out of the car. It’s very frustrating bug sense I use this feature to get all of my Zoi’s friend groups to travel places together without having to walk separately to the destination as they do with the “Call Over” feature so it would help me out a lot if someone could maybe suggest any other tests I could do or if anyone has come across this specific issue themselves and solved it. Thank you!!
So I just tried in Dowon with the SUV and it works.
(This might sound a bit weird, but my Zois, for example can’t read novels in Dowon and it’s a known issue that one of the fridges doesn’t work properly ö.ö)
So what you could try is
another household (preferably an NPC household and one of them buys their first car, I explained below)
another world
another car
What’s also maybe possible is, did you merge Zois into a household where they each had their own car in the previous household?
Thank you across all of the different tests I’ve used at least 4 different cars (the cheap car, the $55k, the $33k? and another one with the fresh save file) I did this across multiple different families and with the freshly new created save file where I created a random character and got them their first car and had the same outcome: Zoi gets in and then immediately gets back out.
The only thing left to check off is trying a new world which I’ve been doing all of these tests in Bliss Bay and haven’t tried a different world yet…
However now I’m just contemplating uninstalling and then reinstalling again (moving all of the important data to my desktop FIRST)… do you think this might work?
When you put your inZOI folder under Documents to a save place you should be safe.
Did you also check the blueclient folder and cleared the cache? I often read even when you remove/disable mods, there can be remains of them, so a new install maybe would be a good idea.
Ah, and do you have manually driving enabled? Maybe it’s on automatic and the game already drives the car even though it’s not moving yet and therefore the other Zoi can’t get in?
Or maybe interrupt the driver from getting into the car first and let the passenger sit first?
Is it only the passenger seat or the seats in the back too?
So I can’t let the passenger in the car first because the driver automatically “parks” the car and it disappears everytime they get out and I just tried to turn of manual driving and that also didn’t work…
I think I want to try what you were saying about deleting cache files in Blueclient before I ultimately try uninstalling and reinstalling again but do you mind giving me the directory to where I would find that? Is it “Local Disc (C:)> Program Files> Steam?
Thank you! After all I realized it only works within the same household I guess it depends on each Zoi?? Idk I’m really not sure but I already uninstalled and reinstalled and the overall problem is still the same except the members of the household can apparently get in the car just not outside of the household..
I’ll try to make another save file as well to test if this happens in a world outside of Bliss Bay but this is all I’ve seen for now
Ah I comletely missed you were talking about Zois from different households! And it worked before? So weird. Maybe it got removed after the update where we also couldn’t park our cars anymore?
Q: Can we get parked cars back? Cars don’t park outside now, & that feature was so nice for realism & we were able to interact more with car that way, like open trunk, get in car door we pick, wash car, take car pictures etc. (And it would also be nice if car didn’t disappear right away when we exit it, when we take it into the world- at least could it linger for a minute in case we want to interact with it again?) (And could we get more car colors or car color wheel?) (submitted by u/lightosim)
A: The change happened because cars are now tied individually to each player, which unfortunately removed the parked car feature. I completely understand the need for this, and while it’s not something we can solve quickly, we’ll continue reviewing it and discuss possible solutions with the parking development team.
As for keeping the car in the world a little longer after exiting, adding a simple delay might be possible. But there are concerns about potential issues that could arise if interactions with the car are still happening during that time. It’s something that requires further discussion, even if implemented in a limited form.
Regarding car colors and a color wheel, we’ll also be discussing internally how this could be added. For now, though, please understand that our main priority is improving inZOI’s overall core simulation, so these features may take a bit longer.
Ohh okay that makes a lot more sense I wonder why they changed that… It makes a lot more sense for multiple Zoi’s to get into the same car especially when the “call over” feature only allows them to walk to the destination even if they have a car so might as well allow us to pick them up too and have them all go to the same place instead of walking separately… I don’t think I’ve tried to put Zoi’s from different households in the same car until recently because I remembered when I was able to do that but i just thought it was a bug… so many cool features I liked a lot were taken out in updates I used to love having the different sections on the beach accessible in Edit Schedule especially the outdoor gym and the beach areas that are closer to the water… now I can’t even take all of my Zoi’s together
have a problem that started about two weeks ago. Before, when we were driving a motorcycle or a car, we could click on any vehicle and choose the “Have Zoi Get In” option.
Unfortunately, now when I select “Have Zoi Get In”, the driver immediately gets out of the vehicle.
I really miss this feature a lot — I used to
drive all the time.
Please, please, please… you are amazing. Do something about it.

Unfortunately, having more than one Zoi in a car / motorcycle, etc. is quite bugged lately. If you want to, a member of the team might merge this thread with the existing bug report. This helps shed more light on the bug, so the developers notice it.
Since this post concerns a bug rather than a technical issue, I will change the category accordingly. This report is related to an existing post regarding a Zoi entering a car or motorcycle and then exiting it. I will merge the two posts for easier tracking and updates of the reported bug.
Thank you for understanding .
I’m still unable to let other players enter my vehicle. Whenever I ask someone to join, my character immediately exits the vehicle. I really hope this gets fixed soon, as I love traveling everywhere by car and helping friends, like driving kids to school — it used to be perfect. Thank you in advance!
