InZOI is a massively popular simulator that has given tough competition to The Sims. While InZOI is naturally much more demanding when it comes to what PCs can run the game, the payoff is huge, since players can experience better visuals and more immersion than any previous The Sims game has had. It lets players build families, careers, and homes that evolve with time.
InZOI has many customization options built in, with the character creation being one of the most extensive ones. However, some players may want something more. This can be in the form of more options, visual changes, or even quality of life upgrades that the developer hasn’t added but some dedicated fan has. To help, here’s how to use mods in InZOI.
How to Install Mods in InZOI
Using mods in InZOI is as simple as downloading them and then enabling them on your computer. However, a key software that is needed is the InZOI Mod Enabler, which can be downloaded from Nexus Mods.
Downloading and extracting the file will give a folder named the “blue folder”, which you need to place in InZOI’s installation directory. Once you’ve moved the blue folder to the correct directory, open it and browse to the content directory and then the paks directory. Create a new folder that you can title “mods” for convenience’s sake in the pak directory. This is where you’ll save all your mods.
There are three different methods to install mods in InZOI, and which method you use depends on the type of mod you download.
- If you download and extract a mod file from Nexus Mods and it contains a blue folder, you can simply move the folder to the InZOI installation directory. This is all you have to do, since the file will do everything else automatically, letting you use the mod without any issues.
- If the mod contains .pak files, then you have to copy them to the mods directory you created.
- 3D printed item mods need to be moved to the directory InZOI creates to save your 3D printed items in. Most mod descriptions contain the instructions and the full directory paths to ensure you don’t make any mistakes.
You can also download the InZOI mod manager to make the installation and management of .pak mods easier. The software only works for .pak mods, but can be a lifesaver if you want to try multiple mods and don’t want to risk causing issues.
