inZOI Hotfix v0.5.1 Resolves Business and Police Progression Blocks

inZOI Hotfix v0.5.1 fixes persistent arrest dialogue bugs, business lot revenue payouts, and water taxi positioning errors.

inZOI Hotfix v0.5.1 addresses progression roadblocks across gameplay systems, business management, and build mode. The hotfix resolves issues involving persistent police followers, missing trial opportunity cards, and broken business revenue payouts.

Gameplay and Business Fixes

Purchasing business lots operated by NPC Zois no longer blocks entry during business hours. Revenue from paid lectures during business operations pays out correctly, and business lot information updates immediately if a managing family is deleted. Interacting with fruit baskets after canceling beverage preparation works as intended, and dropped fishing rods can be picked up from the ground. Water taxis no longer spawn Zois from below the ground at their destinations.

Quests, Law, and Interface

Police NPCs no longer follow players indefinitely after arrest dialogue ends. Imprisoned Zois can be released while performing other actions. Opportunity cards appear as expected to let trials proceed, and the Ascend popup no longer stalls progression when selecting Continue. Family trees display correctly after moving to another city.

Build Mode and Character Customization

Modkit clothing items regain the functional color wheel feature in CAZ. Build mode corrections stop lights attached to lower floor ceilings from shifting when moving the roof above them. Four variations of Snowflake Lights display distinct appearances instead of sharing identical models.

Why this patch matters

Hotfix v0.5.1 cleans up gameplay snags tied to businesses and law enforcement, smoothing out daily simulation loops for active players.
