Living life in the seemingly real and detailed simulation world of InZOI certainly requires financial resources to run smoothly.
From paying monthly bills, buying food, furniture, to owning dream vehicles, everything requires the game’s unique currency, Meows.
But, how can you earn this InZOI money or Meows effectively? It turns out the game provides various methods, ranging from stable career paths and channeling creativity to riskier choices or even relying solely on luck.
This article will be your complete guide to the various methods of making money in InZOI.
InZOI’s Currency: Meows
Before we discuss the methods, let’s get acquainted with the currency.
Money in the InZOI game is called Meows. You will see the amount of Meows your Zoi (your character) possesses and will use it for various essential transactions in their daily lives.
Managing Meows well is key to a comfortable and prosperous life for your Zoi.
Various Ways to Earn Meows in InZOI
Here are the methods you can try to fill your Zoi’s Meows coffers:
1. Getting a Steady Job (Most Stable & Common Method)
This is the most standard and recommended way to earn a regular and stable income in InZOI.
- How to Apply: It’s very easy! Simply open your Zoi’s smartphone, then find and click the “Careers” button or icon. Various available career path options will appear there. Choose one that suits your Zoi’s interests or goals.
- Guaranteed Acceptance: Unlike the real world, job hunting in InZOI (at least for initial jobs) is guaranteed. You don’t need to worry about interviews, educational qualifications, or prior work experience. Your Zoi will be hired immediately.
- Two Types of Jobs:
- Active Jobs: In this type of job, you as the player likely need to actively control the Zoi during their work hours. This might involve completing specific tasks or job-related mini-games.
- “Rabbit Hole” Jobs: This is a passive job type. The Zoi will go to work on their own (usually disappearing from the screen during work hours) and will return home after finishing, bringing their salary with them.
- How to Get Promoted:
- For Rabbit Hole Jobs: The main key to promotion is ensuring your Zoi goes to work in a good mood, well-rested, and full. Their ‘unseen’ work performance is judged based on these conditions.
- For Active Jobs: You must try to complete all assigned tasks or targets during Zoi’s work session as best as possible.
2. Making and Selling Items (Creative & Flexible Method)
If your Zoi has an artistic soul or creative skills, this method could be an interesting option:
- Concept: Similar to some other life simulation games, Zois can create various items if they have relevant skills, such as painting on canvas, writing books on a computer, or creating music with instruments.
- Selling Process: After an item is finished (e.g., a completed painting), you can choose the option to sell it directly from the inventory or perhaps through a gallery/shop.
- Inconsistent Income: The amount of Meows you earn heavily depends on the quality of the produced item. A masterpiece painting will naturally sell for much more than an ordinary one. This method offers flexibility, but the income is not as stable as a steady job.
3. Committing Criminal Acts (Extremely High Risk!)
This method exists in the game but comes with very serious consequences.
- STRONG WARNING: This method is highly discouraged due to its fatal risks and potential negative impact on your Zoi’s life!
- Requirement: The option to commit crimes is only available to Zois with Bad Karma status.
- Getting Bad Karma: This status can be acquired if your Zoi intentionally and repeatedly acts rude, mean, or unpleasant towards other Zois in public spaces (outdoors).
- Examples of Criminal Acts: Some possible criminal actions include forcefully shoving others or attempting to rob an ATM machine.
- Fatal Risk: This is the worst part. Committing crimes is extremely risky. Zoi can be arrested by the police and thrown in jail, which will damage their reputation and career. Even worse, there is a risk of death; for example, the possibility of being electrocuted to death while trying to rob an ATM. Think very carefully before choosing this path!
4. Applying for a Bank Loan (Emergency Option)
If your Zoi is truly facing financial hardship, a bank loan can be a temporary solution:
- Situation: This should be considered a last resort when financial conditions are very difficult.
- Process: You can direct your Zoi to visit the in-game bank and apply for a loan.
- Not Guaranteed Approval: Keep in mind that the bank needs to review and approve your application. Not all Zois will automatically receive a loan; factors like financial history or employment status might influence the bank’s decision.
5. Winning the Lottery (Pure Luck Based)
Want to get rich quick without effort? The lottery is the answer, but don’t get your hopes up!
- How to Play: Find a lottery ticket kiosk or vendor available in the city, then buy a ticket.
- Winning Chance: Like real-world lotteries, the chances of winning the grand prize are extremely small. It’s purely a game of chance. Never rely on the lottery as a primary way to earn Meows. Consider it occasional entertainment if you have spare Meows.
Conclusion
There are diverse ways to earn money (Meows) in InZOI, each with different levels of stability, earning potential, and risk.
A steady job is the most stable and secure foundation. Making and selling items offers flexibility for creative Zois.
Meanwhile, criminal acts are strongly discouraged due to their fatal risks. Bank loans are an emergency solution, and the lottery is merely a game of luck.
Choose the method that best suits your Zoi’s situation, the personality you want to build for them, and your risk tolerance as a player.
Managing Meows wisely will help your Zoi live a better life and achieve their dreams in the captivating world of InZOI.
