Why Does Zoi Cough?

There’s no single definitive cause—illnesses usually appear randomly, but certain factors can increase the odds:

😷 Seasonal changes: Hot weather may trigger allergies, while cold weather can lead to a cold. Both come with coughing.

😷 Poor living conditions: If your Zoi is constantly sleep-deprived, malnourished, or stressed, their chances of getting sick rise. Just like real life.

How to tell if your Zoi is sick? A "Cough. Cough." notification will occasionally pop up above them. They’ll play an animation. A cold also applies mood debuffs.

If you’d rather not spend money, check public spaces—like police stations—where first aid kits often spawn.

For those who want to instantly cure the cough and prevent future illnesses, there’s a tastier (if pricier) solution: the Vaccine Donut. For 100 Meow Coins, it wipes out the and grants temporary immunity.

What Happens If You Don’t Treat It?

Most of the time, nothing serious—your Zoi will recover on their own after a while. But ignoring it entirely isn’t wise because:

🤒 Debuffs stack: Slower skill progression, delayed career growth.

🤒 Rare but deadly: If left untreated for too long, a cold can kill your Zoi. (Allergies, though? Harmless.)

A cough in inZOI isn’t game-ending—just a reminder that even digital beings need care. Keep a First Aid Kit or Vaccine Donut handy, and your Zoi will stay healthy, happy, and unstoppable. Follow these basics, and no virtual bug will ruin your fun.
