Have you ever wondered how to really shake things up in your inZOI world? The rumor system in this game lets you influence relationships and create drama in ways most games don’t. Unlike typical life simulation games where social interactions feel scripted, inZOI takes things to a whole new level with its AI-driven characters who react uniquely to the gossip swirling around them. This guide will show you how to spread rumors in inZOI, unlock the ability, and see how your words impact the world around you.
First, Lower Your Zoi’s Karma Level
Before you can start to spread rumors and juicy gossip, you’ll need to understand how Karma works in inZOI. Not every Zoi can spread rumors—only those with questionable morals get access to this feature. To access the rumor system, you first need to lower your Zoi’s Karma level. How to do it? You need to perform actions that would be considered rude or inappropriate.
So at the starting point, every Zoi begins with Neutral Karma. However, suppose you keep doing things that reduce your karma, like throwing away trash in inappropriate places, sending prank texts, pointing and threatening other Zois, or ignoring requests for help. Each of these actions pushes your Karma meter toward the negative side. The more you do, the faster you’ll unlock rumor capabilities.
