inZOI [v0.9.4] Hotfix Details Patch Notes (9th July 2026)
InZOI's latest hotfix pulls back the auto-meal feature and tightens up how your Zois behave when left to their own devices.
Krafton has rolled out v0.9.4 for inZOI on 9th July, and it's largely a stability pass with one notable retreat. The headline change is the temporary removal of automatic meal preparation. Your Zois were preparing food at odd moments and in unintended situations, so the team has yanked the feature for now with plans to overhaul it later.
Beyond that, the autonomy system has been refined. Your Zois were chatting too much and not reading the room properly when their needs dipped, so this patch steers them toward interactions that actually make sense for the moment. It's a quality-of-life tweak that should make household life feel less chaotic.
The bug fixes are solid groundwork: Zois no longer freeze mid-action, high school graduates won't randomly appear as non-graduates, and milestones won't ghost-complete themselves. There's also a fix for infinite loading when switching families, and Mac users get relief from flickering in the character creation window. Note that all mods disable automatically on patch day, though you can re-enable them afterwards. See the full list of stability improvements and crash fixes below.
