Contents hide How to increase skills in inZOI inZOI skill list

Skills in inZOI are abilities and aptitudes developed by your Zoi to help them grow in everyday life and progress their careers. These are improved by taking part in specific activities directly related to these skills, unlocking new interactions and actions as they are levelled up.

For example, if you level up the Programming skill, you can then sell your apps and programs for profit. The more proficient a Zoi is at Programming the more money you’ll earn. Alongside, higher skill levels unlock new items and recipes along with the ability to influence other Zois in dialogue and interactions.

Skills cover a huge range of abilities, from practical aspects of life like cooking and housework to more creative pursuits like art and instruments by way of cognitive abilities like critical thinking and rhetoric. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the basics of skills and provide a full list of all skills and how to improve and level up each of them.

How to increase skills in inZOI

To increase a skill in inZOI, you’ll need to engage, complete, and partake in activities tied to that skill. Let’s take an example. If you’re looking to level up the Gardening skill, activities like watering plants, talking to plants, and growing and pruning plants will contribute towards increasing the skill.

While your Zoi is engaged in a skill-related activity, you’ll see an icon for that specific skill above their head with a gauge that denotes progress towards the next skill level. Hitting higher levels unlocks new interactions with a handy pop-up message showing up on screen whenever that happens. For example, if you improve your Zoi’s Cooking skill, you’ll unlock new recipes.
