Hello friends,
It’s certainly been a while since my last post.
September went by like a blur for me. I just needed some time to play without churning any of it into content. I took some screenshots and recordings but ended up deleting it all because, well, when I looked back on it, I simply felt “meh” about it.
There was nothing in my gameplay that I felt was worth sharing. It is hard to describe but I basically had a whole month of self-indulgent gameplay. I rotated through a couple of families and fulfilled their needs, but overall, it was kind of mindless — and maybe that’s all that I needed from Inzoi at the time.
It was a very baseline, just escaping from my real life stressors — work, family obligations, etc.
So I didn’t have much that I felt was worth sharing for the blog. I think, in between the time of my last post and this post, there was a minor update with the restaurant system in the game? Which I did play with a new family — but it was like “test” family — I haven’t mentioned them here to date.
I didn’t find the new restaurant tasks that interesting so I decided not to share it.
Now, recently — and I get a lot of my updates from this creator — I watched @FANTAYZIA’s videos on YouTube talking about a new witch mod, and then that inspired me to attempt to download it as well. However in my current family it hasn’t come up as a significant new world, not like the previews it features.
Meanwhile, in pop culture news — I feel very behind, actually — but in my September month of “burnout recovery” (this is how I would describe my life that month in the context of everything going on with work and personal life) — I watched a lot of Netflix, YouTube, etc, and stumbled upon Pop Star Academy, the KATSEYE documentary.
So, in my most recent gameplay, I decided to try creating a family based on the pop girl group KATSEYE’s members, as well as Adela — another pop princess that I am now very fond of, and who was also in that documentary.
That was my initial plan, however when I started creating my family from scratch, well, I ended up with this list of characters:
- Lara (Adult)
- Adela (Adult, spouse of Lara)
- YC (Teen, sister of Lara)
- Manon (Teen, sister of Lara)
- Meg (Child, sister of Lara)
Then I just got tired and impatient and wanted to start my game. So I am leaving Sophia, who I might rename as Soph or Sophie, and Daniella, who I might also simply name Dani, as future offspring of Lara and Adela Zois.
Yeah. It makes sense to me.
I started them in Cahaya, because I thought that was required for the witchy mod?
Then I ended up placing an art gallery building I downloaded from Canvas.
It has been a lot of fun tweaking the art gallery for Zoi living. Because me, personally, I don’t think I am that great of a builder or decorator. I love just placing a house that pre-designed from other creators. So grateful to the community for that. But in the gameplay, I have certain items and things that I do want for my Zois. For example, I always have a Ramen machine. I always have a First Aid Kit. These have become items that I always want my Zois to be able to reach for. And that’s just me!
I also find that creators who do really intricate designs which are so absolutely amazing and gorgeous — it’s not as practical for me during my actual gameplay session.
So it’s fun to make those personalised changes, but still keep about 80% of the gorgeous design as a world to immerse in gameplay with.
Graphics — I am still not very good with my graphics settings. Please bare with me as I simply accept the low quality graphics of my gameplay. As an elder millennial I honestly don’t even mind it and I am having fun with it. It’s only when I watch other creators’ YouTube videos I’m then struck with, “Oh wow, InZOI graphics are actually THAT GOOD?” — Well, it is on the bucket list for hardware upgrade one day, but I don’t think it is happening for me yet for the rest of 2026.
Anyway, in terms of the witchy mod, I did place one cauldron in the kitchen. But my Zoi could only make drinks with it? I’m not sure if I’ve installed the mods properly. It wasn’t very obvious when I was creating my new family of Zois where were items for witchy integration? Probably I didn’t read the mod instructions at all when I “subscribed” — so, I’ll revisit that one day as well and see if I can figure out where I went wrong with it… or design a whole other new family.
But —
The whole “witch” mod theme is something I can definitely sink my teeth into. And I believe I will be posting more about that with different scenarios and possibly different families too.
I’m just scratching the surface of it.
And hopefully in October I’ll be getting back to more regular blog posts and even YouTube clip uploads.
I don’t know if people want to see like a long stretch of ASMR gameplay? Because I haven’t narrated anything yet. But I feel that would be the easiest gameplay content for me to share.
I think that’s where I’ll wrap things up for now. September ended up being a quiet reset for me — a month of playing without producing, letting myself drift through families and routines without needing any of it to become content. And honestly, easing back into creativity this way feels right.
As I move into October, I’m slowly finding my spark again. The witch mod, the MysticPop family, and my little gallery build have all given me something new to explore, and I’m excited to keep experimenting without forcing a specific direction. I’m still figuring out what kind of content feels natural — whether that’s cozy written updates, simple gameplay posts, or even ASMR‑style clips since narration hasn’t felt aligned yet.
For now, I’m just happy to be back, playing at my own pace, and letting the stories unfold. More updates soon.
