I don’t have much to say. I was going through some personal life things… so just some screenshots to share.

A lot had happened amongst the Stragglers in my last gameplay and I can briefly remember in a short summary… since discovering the “setbusinesslevel” cheat I went back to upgrade Lee Know Zoi’s “Kno-Kno Hair Salon”, Lixie Pixie’s “Chicken Bun Buns” bakery, and made Hyun Jin Zoi quit his architecture firm job to start his own florist cafe — old Hanok themed with the hanboks for staff uniforms. I called it “Ferret Flower Cafe”
Hyun Jin Zoi’s hanok style flower shop cafe restaurant with staff all in hanboks. Hyun Jin Zoi seemed to be so lonely so naturally I decided, it’s time to adopt a kid for the family. With the kid adoption, however, the apartment just didn’t seem like a good space for these boys anymore.
I moved them to a beautiful four storey home. I think I have screen recorded it so it will be up on my YouTube soon. All credit to the creator, I didn’t create it. It’ll be on my Canvas profile’s liked houses.
Ahh, actually just found it. “Modern 4-Level Luxury Villa” by LixyQuinn170.
This creator has so many nice houses! I might do another post one day of all the beautiful gorgeous homes I’ve been playing with on InZOI that I downloaded via Canvas.
What else happened? So Hyun Jin Zoi adopted a child, a boy, named Piggy Rabbit… (guess who he is inspired by! Only Stays will know! LOL)
Hyun Jin Zoi bonding with his adopted son Piggy Rabbit I started thinking, maybe I can adopt up to 4 kids and then fill the entire house of all 8 “members” inspired by Stray Kids…
But anyways, just navigating a gameplay with four adults and one child at the moment. Still waiting to see if there will be other updates soon.
I’m in a bit of a pickle because I didn’t want my young adults to age so I turned on the cheat (stopAging true). But that applies to the entire household. Some say it even applies to the entire city. So I can’t toggle who stops aging and who doesn’t.
It’s something that — I kinda just want the new elementary school children to grow into young adult with the rest of the young adults and stay there. I just want them to stop there perpetually but I do want the kids to go through their normal growth stages until then.
Anyway it’s not urgent for my gameplay and I am still enjoying it without figuring out a work around for now.
What else happened? I’ll just leave some screenshot photo dumps cos I can’t really remember as I’m writing.
Before the move… Hyun Jin Zoi and Lixe Pixie just hanging out… 
The coin operated karaoke place where Lixie Pixie is an extrovert and makes friends easily but Hyun Jin Zoi struggles to sing as well as make new friends.

I loved this scenery at the top of their new home. This was Lixie Pixie on the 4th floor of this mansion in Dowon city. 
Lixie Pixie making friends wherever he goes. Always happy to have random chats with strangers.

My friends,
I am well aware of the early access launch of Paralives on 25th May (well, it’ll be 26th May for Australia) via Steam.
I’ve seen the buzz on social media with content creators and some exclusive creators who have earlier previews, but I wanted to share honestly that I won’t be downloading it yet.
Maybe in a few months —
I’ve just got a lot of personal life stuff going on away from the internet. So far, many of my posts have been scheduled from weeks before, and I am just continuing to play InZOI without much content creation focus in mind. I’m still going to share what amuses me, but generally speaking, I just have to note that my head and heart isn’t in this fully just yet.
Maybe if there is anything of note from the other content creators’ gameplay of Paralives, I might dabble in a little of my own commentary, but at this stage I am not about to download the early access game.
My personal timeline is genuinely around 3 to 6 months away to download it. However, each to their own. And I hope that whoever does immediately download and access the game gives some great input and feedback to their team to improve or adapt the game.
I just wanted to share this little update so my followers know where I’m at with it and don’t have to ask, “Why aren’t you reviewing Paralives?!” — I haven’t downloaded it yet.
If you do get a chance to play it and enjoy it and love it, please feel free to comment and let me know!

Just wanted to share how I’ve set up my employees with my hair salon, “Styling Queen”.
After changing the business level with the cheat “setBusinessLevel 5” (and also, having plentiful funds from the money cheat!), I went in to give my salon staff titles, tasks, uniforms and varied salaries.
Business Level 5 with 5 stars! 
Virgo Earthy is Management Only 
Jamie Morgan, Senior Stylist 
Dalton Graves is a Stylist (and handyman who helps with repairs!) 
Jocelyn Carpenter is a “Hair Barista” — she styles hair but also makes coffee for the customers 
Haven Edwards is the cleaner who also washes hair In this little Utopia, everybody gets along, and they’re not upset about work hierarchies or salary brackets. They are all happy little Zois going about their day.

I created a new family called the “Galaxzy” family.
They are a same-sex couple, Virgo Earthy and Pisces Water. And they have a daughter, Leo Firey.
I did start off ambitiously thinking, “I’m going to create a Zoi based on every sign of the zodiac!” but got a little tired of the Zoi creations — so then it just evolved into this little family.
Eventually they also adopted a little baby boy, River Earthy.
They are millionaires, and they have a traditional hanok house set up in Bliss Bay. (Available via @LixyQuinn170 on Canvas)
The house is SO FUN to play. I barely had to re-arrange or re-decorate. The only thing was my mailbox was placed all the way at the back of the house from how I had initially dropped the house onto the land. Other than that, no dramas.
I’ve dabbled in some other career pathways, but I am finding it more fun to be a business owner. I’ve discovered new cheats as well. In order to hire more employees for a business, simply type “setBusinessLevel” and the number you want, up to 5.
For me, it was a no brainer to immediately set it to the maximum, “setBusinessLevel 5” and the business gets a 5 star rating, and you can hire up to 4 more employees.
Leo Firey was able to visit her school ahead of school hours and play basketball, meet new friends. But once school started, there wasn’t any interactions or gameplay available — though I’ve heard the new update coming is about to change that for high schoolers? (Fingers crossed!)
I made Pisces Watery open a nightclub in Bliss Bay, even though Felix Cookii in Sahaya also has a night club there. I don’t know why I keep coming back to opening night clubs in InZOI, maybe this is something that I would NEVER actually do in real life but it’s just fun to watch my Zois do it. (Just like I wouldn’t even be visiting a night club in real life these days, but it’s fun to watch them do it!)
I’m still trying to get them to go out around the city and meet new friends. It feels more fun when they get invited to different places and explore other relationship dynamics.
This house is a dream! (@LixyQuinn170)

I took so many photos of my little Zoi “Leo Firey”! (She is available via my Canvas profile). She’s such a cute little doll ❤

Felix and NiQii Cookii both aged up to middle aged Zois in my last gameplay.
More wrinkles on their faces — it would be nice to have a BOTOX option! (Just kidding!)
Well… other than toggling with their age settings, I’m not sure what my ideal aging situation would be for this game yet.
I had fun re-styling them both for this next chapter of their lives.
They’re going to have another baby soon, though. It will be a happy accident. Didn’t think she was still fertile at that age — or perhaps an adoption. I haven’t decided yet!

New styling for both 
Still happily married and in love as ever! -
I’ve seen some creators getting confused with their Zoi settings so I just wanted to share some screenshots of where you can edit who they’re attracted to.
It’s in the little pencil icon next to the gender icons. Then you can “set gender identity” and who they’re attracted to.
Not sure why the feature is not that obvious but that’s the way around it at the time of this writing. Who knows if it will get updated. Personally, I don’t mind it being that discreet, but I’ve seen some confusion on other creators’ videos.

In my last gameplay, my Zoi daughter Ruby Cookii aged up from a child to an adolescent — now she’s going to Middle School, instead of Elementary (Awww… I’m tearing up!) — and the little boy (MinTii Cookii) who was an infant, aged up to toddler and then young boy (elementary school).
I’ve been having fun recording their changes in wardrobe and styling and uploading on my YouTube channel.
Husband and Wife (Felix and NiQii Cookii) finally got some time away in Cahaya and booked a date at a Garden Villa. There wasn’t that much to explore in the villa. They did not try for another baby, just had some quality time. I figured they wanted a bit of a breather — finally out of the baby and toddler phases for both kids! Maybe — they will have another baby when the boy ages up again.
Husband Zoi randomly chatting to the market vendor. 
NiQii and Ruby Cookii jamming at home. Ruby Cookii as a teenager is so much more helpful around the house. She can basically do every chore needed. She even applied for work as a freelancer but the rest of the options (as with other Zoi gameplay for young adult) didn’t come through yet.
There’s still minor bugs in the game, as expected, and I took some amusing screenshots like NiQii sitting on an invisible chair at the market.
The Invisible Chair (bug!) The game seems to be trying to allow my Zois to make new friends as they get a lot of text messages and invitations — but honestly, I feel very busy with the little family as it is. Four seems to be my maximum right now for a gameplay, I haven’t yet increased any families to more members than four.
I love their love. Makes my heart warm. -
I’m still learning and experimenting with sharing more content from my gameplay, and I have now set up a YouTube channel @cybertechniqii
I still want to keep this blog as my primary focus, but it’s fun to add some short videos as well.
I haven’t yet mustered up the courage to do voiceovers! And… I’m just not sure yet, what will I say?
Still more comfortable in a writing, blogging format for now.
Now, for the Cookii family updates.
From pregnancy to giving birth. This family is expanding! A daughter and now a son for the happily married couple. I still haven’t aged up the little baby yet — enjoying these moments for a little while longer.
Getting to customise the name and gender of the new bundle of joy! The husband quit his job and started his own business. I used custom settings and my intention is for this space to be a bar, lounge, club sort of venue for evenings. He doesn’t really work that hard, it’s only open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Husband Zoi preparing food for his restaurant customers Cahaya is still such a fun place to explore. And I haven’t yet gotten the couple to go stay at the resort or even explore that much of the other island in this “city”.
The little girl has a lot of tasks in her own schedule, outside of school. Such as going to the basketball court. There’s a lot that’s happening as I do usually have autonomy turned on for them. So it’s like having a fish bowl and letting them swim by themselves.
Having fried chicken for dinner 
She’s just taking a bit of “me” time away from everyone else who needs her… 
I really liked this paining the Husband did, but it couldn’t be sold on Pocket Market, it wasn’t good enough.
