Description
CAREER FOUNDATIONS
A Mod for Deeper Zoi Stories
Your Zoi’s life did not begin when you pressed Play.
Career Foundations lets you create a richer backstory by giving your Zoi an established career, starting rank, career skills, household funds, and professional connections before their next chapter begins.
A seasoned firefighter can start with experience. A parent can return to an established career. A professional moving to a new city can bring their history with them.
Not every Zoi should have to start from zero.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
• Browse careers available in your Zoi’s current city.
• Choose from career-specific ranks, pay, schedules, and progression.
• Select different work schedules for eligible part-time careers.
• Choose between full-time and part-time options for supported careers.
• Add starting skills that reflect your Zoi’s professional experience.
• Optionally provide career-based household funds.
• Optionally add workplace relationships and professional connections.
• Reset mod-added career progress, skills, funds, and relationships at any time.
REGIONAL CAREERS
Career Foundations now includes expanded career support for Dowon, Bliss Bay, and Cahaya.
Cahaya careers include Farmer, Miner, Collection Log Researcher, Motorcycle Taxi Driver, Sea Turtle Protection Activist, Tour Guide, Yoga Instructor, and Travel Agency Administrative Clerk.
Amusement Park careers include multiple work paths, including Convenience Store Employee, Office Administrator, and Field Worker.
Career availability, employers, descriptions, schedules, and position names are matched to the appropriate in-game region wherever possible.
A MORE POLISHED EXPERIENCE
The interface has been redesigned with a cleaner, brighter glass-style layout, improved readability, career artwork, skill previews, career-level badges, responsive buttons, and smoother navigation.
The Career Foundations launcher can be dragged anywhere on screen and supports different window sizes and resolutions.
Age-aware pages explain when Career Foundations is unavailable for younger or elderly Zois, while welcome-page updates introduce the mod’s expanded regional content.
YOUR STORY STARTS HERE
Career Foundations is not about giving every Zoi an advantage.
It is about making their lives feel believable.
Some Zois are fresh graduates. Others have spent years building careers, gaining skills, forming relationships, raising families, and finding their place in the world.
Those experiences deserve to be part of their story.
Career Foundations gives your Zois a past, so you can focus on their future.
BETA RELEASE
Career Foundations is still actively being developed and improved. Bugs or unexpected behavior may occur.
