Career
New careers have been added to all cities.
Dowon & Bliss Bay: Researcher, IT Developer, Architect, Music Producer, Journalist
Cahaya: Travel Agent
For the new careers, Zois will first have to apply for an interview then impress the interviewer to be accepted to begin work.
School and business have been separated from careers as independent categories.
As long as the schedules do not overlap, these three categories can be assigned to the same Zoi simultaneously.
Schedules are prioritized in the order of school first, career, then business last.
Zoi card displays the Zoi’s occupation in school, career, business, or freelance category.
Salary is given on a daily basis.
Zois can register for paid leave, sick leave, and remote work on the computer.
Companies can sometimes provide company-wide holidays but also assign overtime work.
The amount of leaves is determined by the Zoi’s job position.
Team projects have been added.
Zois can collaborate with co-workers to work on team projects from day 1 through day 4.
Progress can be tracked on the dedicated phone app and the mission UI.
The amount of contribution at the end of a project will determine their grade and rewards.
New workplace interactions have been added, and after work missions have been added.
Arriving to work late will cause your Zoi to be marked as tardy or absent and will negatively impact their evaluation.
If a Zoi’s performance is insufficient, they may be fired from their position.
Zois can retire after meeting the required amount of time spent in that company.
Once your Zoi announces its retirement, a retirement party social event will take place.
After retirement, your Zoi will become eligible for pension funds.
Zois who are fired, leave their workplace, or retire will receive severance pay.
Loading a save file from before this update will automatically sync previous career information to its updated version.
Freelance
The following freelance jobs have been added.
Delivery: Deliver a good given by the client to its designated recipient.
Creative: Create writing, music, program, or media as requested by the client.
Publishing: Publish your created work to earn commission based on its performance.
Sell Online: Sell your created work using the computer for a much lower price than if you had submitted to a client or published it.
A license must be obtained on the computer to begin freelance work.
Once obtained, the grade of a license will be determined by the Zoi’s reputation in that line of work and the number of successful tasks.
Holding a higher grade license will allow your Zoi to take on more difficult tasks with higher compensation rates.
A dedicated app for freelancers can be used to check license status, available jobs, and the status of current tasks.
Business
New business types have been added.
Hair Salon: Place hair salon chairs to change other Zois’ hairstyles.
Empty employment slots in employee management are displayed more clearly.
Objects that are recommended and those that are required are better distinguished in business presets.
Crime
Some crime interactions are visible even if the Zoi has not yet reached the required crime level.
The Zoi must still reach the appropriate skill level to use each crime interaction.
After obtaining level 5 in crime skill, criminal masks can be obtained from the suspicious job agency.
