■ Business Gameplay: Boss From Now On
With this update, Zois can now open and run their own businesses. Choose a business preset to set the types of services and activities supported by your business. Take on various managerial duties, from hiring and paying employees to finding a customer base.
Start your own business today!
Business Presets
[Business Types] Select presets based on business types to automatically set customer activity. Different presets are available for various types of businesses, including cafes, bakeries, restaurants, and bars, and each preset automatically configures a management environment suited to that business type.
[Business Activities] Use the Manage Business menu to select presets based on the services provided by your business. These presets will automatically set activities to match your establishment's needs, from "Drink Coffee", "Eat" and "Read a Book" for cafes to "Order" and "Drink a Beverage" for restaurants.
※ More business presets will be added in future updates.
Franchise Management
[Multiple Store Management] Multiple businesses can be owned by a single household, allowing players to run several establishments within the same industry or a franchise that spans multiple industries.
[Managing Businesses] Businesses are managed independently of property, allowing them to be moved to other properties or passed on to the household’s eldest member upon marriage or separation.
Employees
[Employee Hiring and Placement] You can hire acquaintances or household members as employees. As your business level increases, you will be able to hire more employees. Select an employee to view their main skills and assign them tasks that suit them best, be it kitchen duties for Zois with excellent cooking skills or service roles for those with rhetoric skills.
※ If a hired employee already has an existing job, they will automatically resign from it before joining your business.
[Salaries]Employee salaries are calculated based on business level, salary rank, and working hours and are paid out after business hours. Employees can negotiate salaries through conversations, and long working hours may affect your relationships with them.
[Employee Autonomy]Employees will automatically perform tasks assigned to them, including taking orders, cooking, preparing drinks, displaying items, handling payments, cleaning, making repairs, and watching the counter as needed.
※ Employees must be Young Adults or older and will automatically clock in and out according to business hours.
Business Operations
[Manage Business Hours] Businesses open on set business days and hours. Business hours can be set to carry over to the following day.
[End of Day Operations and Accounting] At the end of each business day, both employees and customers will automatically vacate the premises. Profits will also be calculated and logged at this time.
Customers
[Customer Visits] Customers will automatically visit your establishment during business hours, staying for a set duration to use the services provided. Businesses with higher values will attract more customers.
[Target Clientele] Attract the customer base that best suits your business by setting the age group of your target clientele.
Satisfaction Management
[Customer Satisfaction] Customer satisfaction serves as a key indicator of business value growth and is measured based on various factors, including your relationship with the business owner, furniture quality, suitable prices, the frequency of using business activity services, employee responsiveness, and overall service quality.
[Real-Time Feedback] Customer satisfaction will be displayed in real-time through customer thought bubbles. Customer reviews shown at the end of each business day also serve as a source of detailed feedback. You can also ask customers for “Feedback” or gather tips by using the self-interaction option or by selecting “Search for Tips to Improve Customer Satisfaction” on a computer.
Profit Management
[Automated Settlement] Profits are calculated and logged at the end of each business day. Each business's total income, total expenses, and net profit can be viewed in the Profit Summary menu, allowing you to adjust your business strategy accordingly.
[Flexible Pricing] Service costs can be set in tiers from the Manage Business menu, allowing you to apply discounts or premium pricing to entrance fees and item prices.
※ Higher business values lead to higher customer expectations, increasing the basic level of service demanded by customers.
Running a Successful Business
[Customer Attraction and Service] The success of your business rests on your ability to attract and satisfy customers. Boost customer satisfaction and business value by placing the right furniture, using the right employees, and setting the right prices.
[Business Value Growth] The value of your business increases according to the level of customer satisfaction. Businesses with higher values attract more customers, allowing you to hire more employees and expand your business even further.
※ Higher business values lead to higher customer expectations, increasing the basic level of service demanded by customers.
※ You cannot use City Travel if you are engaged in any business-related activities.
This includes owning a business property, having a registered business, or being employed by a business.
To use City Travel, you must sell all businesses and business properties, or resign from your business employment.
※ With this update, new business properties have been added to existing cities. When continuing a previous save, you must perform a Refresh Property Manually to ensure normal gameplay. You can also manually refresh properties by going to Game Options - Gameplay - Other - Perform Refresh Property Manually.
■ Crime
Not all Zois have to lead honest lives. With this update, Zois can now scam and steal their way into a life of crime, opening the door to a path paved in both danger and delight.
※ Crime-related features are currently in the early stages of development and will be updated with additional content in the future. Currently, only Young Adult and older Zois can commit crimes.
Thieves
Become a thief and break into property to steal items!
Various thief interactions have been added, including "Pick Door Lock", "Break Down Door", "Open Safe", and "Sabotage Surveillance Camera".
The success rates of thief interactions are influenced by Handiwork, Programming, and Fitness skills.
Some properties may have traps such as surveillance cameras and alarms installed.
Scammers
Scam other Zois for a chance to strike it rich!
Various scammer interactions have been added, including "Attempt Voice Phishing", "Scam In-Game Items", "Impersonate Charity Worker", and "Hold Fake Seminar".
The success rates of scammer interactions are influenced by the Rhetoric and Critical Thinking skills.
Crime Interactions
Zois that meet one or more of the following conditions will unlock the first crime interaction available at Crime Skill Lv.0:
Owns 2,000 Mew or less, or is struggling due to excessive debt
Is under significant psychological stress from lack of family support or ongoing family conflict
Has the Rulebreaker trait or the Malicious characteristic
Suspicious Job Agency
The Suspicious Job Agency has been added, allowing Zois to take on shady jobs and collect crime information.
Use the Agency's Bulletin Board to purchase crime information.
Crime Scores
When a Zoi witnesses a crime, they will report it to the police. The responding officers may then issue an immediate fine or take the Zoi into custody.
Performing crime interactions increases a Zoi's crime score.
Wanted Status
Thieves who successfully escape the scene of a crime may be placed under a wanted notice for one day and will be put under arrest if they encounter the police during this time.
The wanted period lasts up to one day.
■ Trials
A life of crime has its consequences. Some Zois may find themselves under arrest and forced into trial after meeting certain conditions. Outcomes are determined by choices made both before and during the trial, and Zois can appoint lawyers to improve their chances in court.
In addition to being a form of punishment, trials add additional depth to a Zoi's life.
Arrests
Zois with a low crime score will receive a fine if they are arrested.
Zois whose crime score exceeds the threshold can be immediately arrested by the police.
Zois placed under immediate arrest can post bail to secure time to prepare for their trial.
After being arrested, Zois who post bail will be released, while those who do not will remain in a detention center until the trial begins.
Appointing Lawyers
You can appoint a lawyer by selecting your Zoi.
Free lawyers provide limited assistance, while elite lawyers offer better chances of reduced sentences or acquittal.
When a lawyer is appointed, a trial preparation mission will be assigned, and its results will directly influence the opportunity cards that appear during the actual trial.
Trials
Trials will usually result in a guilty verdict. Not-guilty verdicts are difficult to secure and require special preparation. Failed attempts at acquittal may lead to even harsher sentences.
Depending on the outcome, Zois may either be acquitted, fined, or placed under police custody.
The trial proceeds automatically, but choosing the correct answers for the opportunity cards that appear during the trial can help reduce your sentence.
Courts
New court properties have been added. Zois scheduled to stand trial must visit these properties on their designated trial dates.
※ In this update, trials for “Traffic Accidents” will not take place. As before, Zois will be sent directly to jail. This will be improved in a future update.
■ Gameplay
New features have been added to make each Zoi's day flow more naturally, including multitasking and group actions that allow multiple Zois to perform actions together.
Urges and emotes have also been refined to be more realistic, offering players with a more detailed and immersive experience.
New Features
Group Interactions
Zois can now be grouped together.
Zois within a group will prioritize interactions and conversations that involve other members of the group.
Certain cooperative interactions can only be performed by Zois in groups.
Group members can applaud and cheer for other Zois in the group.

Zois can now perform certain actions simultaneously. These include the following:
Talking while eating.

Eating while watching TV.
Pathfinding has been improved for Zois in conversations.
Zois will now move to the position that best suits the situation.
For example, Zois will prioritize sitting at a location that allows them to face other Zois.
※ Known Issues
Multitasking features for autonomous actions will be added in the future.
Currently, multitasking is only supported for autonomous actions that involve talking or checking smartphones.
Multitasking features will be updated to feel more natural.
Animations that play during multitasking will be updated to feel more natural
Updates will be introduced to make multitasking actions involving other Zois to feel more interactive
The types of situations that support multitasking will be expanded.

Holding an item while talking may cause the held item to temporarily disappear
Reading a book while talking may cause unnatural animations where the reader repeatedly opens and closes the book

The Baking skill has been added, giving Zois the ability to make baked goods separate from the Cooking skill. Fire up your oven to bake a variety of desserts, ranging from cookies to cake.
Drink Mixing
Zois can use mixers to concoct various drinks ranging from freshly-made fruit juices to colorful cocktails. The types of drinks that a Zoi can mix depends on their age and the objects currently available to them.
Crime
The Crime skill allows Zois to commit various crimes ranging from theft to scams. This skill is currently under development and can currently only reach up to Level 5.
New Properties
A Flower Shop has been added to all cities.
You can purchase bouquets by selecting the Flower Shop Basket at the counter.
We plan to improve this in the future so that bouquets can be purchased directly from staff.
