The in-game economy system in inZOI is quite realistic: to live, build a house, and plant a tree, you'll have to think about income. There are many ways to earn money in the game, from regular office jobs to outright robberies.

Work
The most straightforward way to a stable income is to get a job. This can be done via the smartphone in the "Career" section. For now, the game doesn't offer many career paths, and hiring depends on a Zoi's skills and age. But the most important factor is the availability of job openings in the city. No one said finding work in a fictional world would be easy. You'll have to start at the bottom and gradually climb the career ladder.
Zoi can work in two formats. The first is an active career, where the player participates in the process and controls the character at the workplace. The second is passive: the Zoi disappears into a "rabbit hole" and returns with a paycheck
The income is steady, but you won't be able to buy a car or villa in a single day. Still, it's a consistent and legal path to career growth..

Selling Items and Gifts at the Flea Market
As romantic relationships between Zois develop, they begin exchanging gifts. Among these presents are décor items and accessories that can be sold. All such objects are listed on a virtual auction, and players assign a price to each item. After that, the object is marked with a special tag indicating it's up for sale at the flea market, even though it's physically still inside the Zoi's house.

You can use the same method to get rid of unnecessary household items. You can even list trash, though the chances of someone buying it are minimal. This kind of trade brings in modest income but helps free up space and gather startup funds. For fun, try squeezing money out of the gifts from admirers.
Earning Through Hobbies
In inZOI, leveling up the programming skill allows a character to start creating games. To do this, they’ll need a computer and some patience. A Zoi with enough experience eventually begins developing their own software. Once the task is complete, a USB stick or floppy disk with the finished project appears in their inventory — and that item can be sold.

This is one of the ways to monetize hobbies. Other options include selling paintings, books, or music. The principle is the same. With skill progression, the Zoi produces a quality painting, song, or story, which can be sold.
Tip: to earn money from paintings, you'll first need to clear the easel — otherwise, the workspace will remain occupied until the item is purchased. The finished canvas can only be removed manually in build mode.
Crime
Rude behavior on the street, insulting passersby, and general aggression unlock criminal actions. When a Zoi's karma drops, new evil options become available. Among them are illegal ways to get rich.
It becomes possible to rob ATMs. A failed attempt might result in jail time or even death by electric shock.

Loans
If you’re completely out of money but have big plans — try taking out a loan. But you won’t get the funds just like that. The bank will review the application and decide based on the Zoi’s current financial situation.

Lottery Ticket
Lottery tickets are sold at street kiosks in the game world. Try your luck — maybe you'll hit the jackpot. In practice, just like in real life, the odds of winning the grand prize are extremely low.

Money Cheat in inZOI
If you want to skip the survival phase and jump straight into a life of luxury, the developers have added a built-in money cheat in inZOI. In Live Mode, open the Psicat Guide and press the Use money cheat button.
Each press adds 100,000 units of in-game currency. The money cheat is available by default — no console commands or text input required.
