Krafton has just rolled out the latest inZOI update 0.1.6, and we’ve got the full breakdown straight from their official community post. This hotfix brings some significant improvements to emotional interactions, karma systems, and squashes several annoying bugs that players have reported. Let’s look at what’s changed and why it matters for your gameplay.
Key Features in inZOI Update 0.1.6
1. Emotion-Driven Conversations
One of the biggest changes in the inZOI update 0.1.6 is how Zois now react based on their primary emotions. Previously, personality traits and chemistry dictated most interactions, but now, intense emotional states—like rage, euphoria, or despair—will shape dialogue and behavior more dynamically.
- 22 emotional states now influence conversations (e.g., excitement, fear, humiliation).
- More immersive reactions: angry Zois might snap, while joyful ones will respond warmly.
- Future plans include systems to help Zois naturally calm down from extreme emotions.

2. Karma System Improvements
The karma system has been tweaked to feel less intrusive and more balanced:
- Psycat alerts disabled – No more judgmental notifications when city karma drops.
- Simplified karma ratings – Now categorized as just “bad” or “good” instead of overly sensitive tiers.
- Fewer karma prompts – Reduced frequency so choices don’t disrupt gameplay flow.
- Context-aware karma interactions – Now considers Zoi’s emotions and relationships.
- 50% fewer forced karma events – Changes happen more gradually.
These adjustments make karma feel like a natural part of the world rather than a constant pop-up annoyance.
