inZOI v0.4.5 Hotfix Notes Fixes Autonomous Actions and Need Recovery

The v0.4.5 hotfix for inZOI resolves issues with day length settings, autonomous theft, crop growth distance, and diner POS registers. The patch also disables installed mods automatically.

A hotfix update designated as version v0.4.5 rolled out on November 26, 2025, across Windows PC Steam, Mac Steam, and Mac App Store platforms. This patch addresses several progression and logical bugs reported by players.

AI Behavior and Interaction Fixes

Outlaw-trait Zois no longer perform the "Steal" interaction autonomously. Text message frequency has been reduced for new games to prevent players from receiving an excessive volume of messages on day one. Notification board icons have also been updated to better reflect specific visit event types.

Simulation and World Bug Fixes

A fix resolves a desynchronization between need recovery rates and interaction speeds when altering day length settings. Zois now fulfill bathroom and hunger needs autonomously in a more timely manner. Crops no longer halt growth when the camera is zoomed out past a specific distance, and umbrellas can no longer be stored inside inventories.

Object and Economic Exploit Fixes

Zois lacking staff status are restricted from using the POS machine at the Sodam Diner in Dowon. An issue where Zois received the "Successful Divorce" moodlet despite a failed divorce conversation has been resolved, alongside intermittent crash triggers.

Why this patch matters

Version 0.4.5 corrects critical logic bugs regarding need recovery and economic exploits at diner registers, though players must remember to re-enable their mod lists following installation.
