Hello, @cmaney6! Could you add to your post’s Title something that points out this involves an abnormal amount of Zois showing up? Or maybe because we know this happens with more than just the Dinner Event now, you could rename it to something like ā€œToo Many Zois Show Up to Eventsā€ (doesn’t have to be exactly this).

It might help people posting about the same issue find that it’s already been reported more easily. I see duplicate posting for this error quite a bit.

  • Game Version:

  • Platform: Steam Windows

  • Mods: Disabled

  • Hardware Specifications & Operating System (OS version, CPU, GPU, RAM, storage…): Lenovo Legion 15I

  • Steps to Reproduce:

The child zoi went to the beach after school. I left him there to see what his mum was doing when she got back from work and found the house full of random zois. They all had landlord over their heads and were all complaining of having depleted needs, hygiene, food, sleep. There were some trick-or-treaters in there, too.

None of them would leave, so I used build mode to get them out, checking where they were standing, moving a piece of furniture to that spot, then checking that they were gone.

A few of them hung around outside and came back inside in the morning.

This is making the game unplayable as the zois fill the house. The baby was lying on the floor screaming, but her parents couldn’t get to her. The strangers were eating food, taking baths and showers. It was chaos. Plus the relationship bubbles that kept popping up meant that I often couldn’t see what was going on.

I had the same issue during a trick or treat event. But only two zois were labeled as landlords that actually dont belong to the houshold. But ive been having issues with triggering the halloween event. (ill make a seperate bug report for this)

Screenshot. This is a Zoi that does not live on this property.

It was definitely triggered by the Halloween event.

I tried letting the situation play out, leaving zois to die off. This caused a lot of upset with the children being particularly upset by seeing zois die.

Things did settle down with fewer zois left due to deaths. But as soon as the Halloween event started, loads of zois piled in again.

Hello, so this is related to this issue here Dinner event Bug , and it’s been added to the Known Issues List Dinner event Bug - #18

The reason why you’re seeing Zois labeled as ā€œLandlordā€ is because that’s what ā€œcandy-giversā€ during the Halloween Trick-or-Treating event are called. It’s only supposed to be the person who owns the house and is selected to give candy, but because of this glitch, more people show up than they’re supposed to, and they are given that role.

This glitch is not exclusive to the Halloween Event. It’s a random glitch that can happen with any event.

Thanks, that’s what I thought it was. The first time it happened, it was triggered by the dinner event. The second time it was trick-or-treat time.

I’m going to get rid of the sweet (candy) buckets and avoid events until it’s fixed. My laptop does not like having to manage so many zois.

  • Platform: Steam (Windows)

  • Mods: Never used

  • Hardware Specifications & Operating System (OS version, CPU, GPU, RAM, storage…):

  • Steps to Reproduce:

  • Please provide the entire save file(s) from the date when the issue occurred.
    :round_pushpin: Instruction: How to Send User Files to The inZOI Team (Updated)

  • Details:
    :round_pushpin: Please share the date, error message, or screenshots/videos for issue verification.

  • As soon as the Halloween event began, where children receive candy, numerous ā€˜homeowner’ Joys and ā€˜children’ Joys visited my Joy house, causing chaos. The issue resolved after the event ended, but if this error repeats, it could interfere with gameplay.

  • Additionally, before and after the event, I observed a child Joy randomly visiting an undamaged refrigerator and repairing it. The refrigerator was intact both before and after the event.

I’ve had that too.

That suddenly my house is full.

But it also happens with other things.

Like when the zoi“s want to have dinner after work and have a meeting at 8 pm, and suddenly 6-7 more zoi“s show up.
