inZOI Multiplayer Mod: Is There One?

Does an inZOI multiplayer mod exist?

inZOI mods are published through CurseForge and installed from the Mods menu inside the game. That is the place a real multiplayer mod would be listed, and it has none. Videos and posts that show several players in one inZOI town are footage of Krafton's own test builds, described on the main page.

Why modders have not added multiplayer

Until October 2026, inZOI mods could only add or change content: outfits, furniture, faces, animations and game data. Script mods, which can change how the game behaves, arrived with v0.11.0 on October 15, 2026. The patch notes describe Lua scripts written in the ModKit's script editor.

Script support is a few weeks old, and multiplayer is much more than a script. Two copies of a life sim have to agree on the clock, on every Zoi's needs and relationships, and on who is allowed into which home. Krafton's own roadmap says its online build has to keep "migrating and matching the base game" after every update and calls the work broad and technically challenging. A fan mod would face the same problem with less access to the game.

Krafton's roadmap from January 2026 does include two mod items aimed at online play: a test of "multiplayer-linked modding" in the ModKit, listed as research for October 2026, and letting players "enjoy official inZOI mods together in online multiplayer". Neither has been released.

What Krafton is building instead

The official route is a mode the studio calls Canvastown, shown at an event in Shanghai in September 2026. From the studio head's posts that month:

• The goal is an online life simulation where players gather and live together in a town.
• The features in testing include 20 or more players living in one town, multi-story housing, door locking and removing unwanted visitors, and several players building a house at the same time.
• Script mods are part of the plan: the team used them to build mini-games such as car racing for Canvastown.
• Only a small dedicated team works on it. Most of the studio stays on single-player.
• The next step is small-scale tests to judge whether playing together in a town is worth building further.

No test date or release date has been given. The release date page has every dated statement.

Downloads to avoid

Because nothing real exists, anything sold or shared as an "inZOI multiplayer mod" or "co-op unlocker" is one of three things: a fake, an unrelated file with a misleading name, or an unofficial tool that injects code into the game. Be careful with:

• Files hosted outside CurseForge that ask you to run an installer or turn off your antivirus.
• Paid "early access" to a multiplayer mod.
• Tools that need your Krafton or Steam login.

inZOI checks mods after every game update: a newly installed mod, or any mod after a patch, shows "Validation Required" and cannot be switched on until the check passes. Something that works around that check can break saves, and it will stop working at the next patch in any case.

What you can share with friends today

• Canvas. Upload and download Zois, homes, rooms and lots. A friend can move into the house you built, just not at the same time as you.
• The same mod list. Agree on a set of CurseForge mods so your games match.
• Screens and stories. Photo mode and saved households are still the main way inZOI players play "together".
