The mechanics of karma and souls in inZOI is reflected in the main aspect of managing the simulation city - its development. The more good deeds Zoe performs, the more favorable the situation in the metropolis is for settling new families.
If the city has a bad social situation and the number of restless souls is growing, then the number of living population begins to decrease. In the guide, we will analyze ways to prevent the desolation scenario: how to influence the state of karma in inZOI through independent management of Zoe, city parameters and donuts.
How does the karma system work in inZOI
The system is based on the actions of all inhabitants of Zoe's city, they determine the assessment and current status of the character. The gradation of the state of karma includes six stages:
- Horrible - the extreme degree of bad karma, in which Zoe can easily commit a crime and start a conflict with a stranger. The character will be closely watched by citizens and law enforcement agencies, and after death, he will remain among the ghosts for a long time.
- Bad - Zoe has access to all kinds of negative karmic actions, but he hasn't crossed the line yet.
- Negative - the ward has already stepped onto a bad path, but his line of behavior can easily be corrected.
- Normal - neutral stage, the balance of good and evil deeds is approximately equal.
- Neutral - more good deeds have been done than evil deeds.
- Good - at this stage, all positive interaction options are available to the characters.
- Excellent - the highest level of good karma, which increases luck, improves health and makes it possible to win the lottery.
Depending on the current status, the character is more inclined to be kind or mean to others, because there are many more options for a certain line of behavior among the actions.
Some interactive items unlock additional karmic actionsFor example, villain Zoe might use a laptop to commit fraud, but a legitimate character would never even think of doing so.
Apart from the differences in behavior, another important aspect in the karma system is Zoe to soul ratio in the city. Characters with bad karma become ghosts after death and prevent new families from settling, so in the long term, a city with a bad karmic situation is threatened with complete devastation. And an employee who failed to cope with the job - a reprimand from the director of AR-Company.
How to change character karma in inZOI
Zoe's karma is mostly adjusted manually: take control of the character and perform an action that affects karma or interrupt an action that is already in progress. To understand how choosing one or another option will affect the status, pay attention to the color of the icon next to it.
How to improve karma
If you want to raise your karma a little, do any action with a blue indicator:
- Click on the Zoe you are controlling and find the appropriate options in "Personal Actions", "Smartphone" or "Interaction Actions".
- Click on another character, greet them and bring up the More menu. In the list, expand the Action item and select any option with a light icon.
- Find an ATM on the map and perform the karmic action "Make a donation". Some other interactive things can also be interacted with and influence personal status, for example, write a compliment to a colleague via a laptop.
How to worsen karma
The principle of decreasing karma manually is similar to the process of increasing it: take control of Zoe and commit a series of bad deeds with a red icon. However, there is a way to immediately ruin your reputation - buy a Devil's Donut in the Meow Shop for 100 Meow-monetto set the karma to the "Terrible" level.
How to reset karma
Citizens are extremely wary of characters with a bad reputation, so the process of correction can be delayed. In addition, Zoeys with bad habits continue to quarrel with others until the player takes control.
If you don't want to spend a lot of time resetting your karma to "Normal", buy it in the Meow Shop Neutral Donut.

- "I want to become healthier!"
