This is a guide to inZOI's Build Mode feature. Read on to learn the basics of building a house in Build Mode, tips and tricks, and more information on Build Mode in this guide.
How to Enter Build Mode
Click the Build Mode Icon or Press I
You can enter Build Mode by clicking the Build Mode icon on the lower right part of your screen. You can also access it by pressing I on your keyboard.
Beginner's Guide to Build Mode
- Build Mode Controls
- Click Slanted Arrows to Bend Stairs
- Paint Single or Selected Tiles
- Use Alt to Freely Placed Structures or Objects
- Build Platforms by a Single Stage
- Only Create Fences Last
Build Mode Controls

 |
Select (Drag) Adjust |
 |

 |
Freely Place / Fine-Tune |
 |
Continuous Placement |
 |
Rotate Left |
 |
Rotate Right |

An object spins 45 degrees when rotated via the Right Click or the Z and C keys. If you want to fine-tune an object's rotation, then you'll need to hold Alt while rotating the item.
Click Slanted Arrows to Bend Stairs
If you want to create corner stairs that bend or intersect, you need to click the slanted arrow option that appears when selecting additional options for your stair structure.
Make sure you're bending the stair structure in an open area so you won't be restricted by the game.
Paint Single or Selected Tiles to Create a Color Variety
You can also select a single tile or wall portion and paint it with the color of your preference. From there, select the icon with the plus symbol so that you can add tiles with the same paint.
Doing so will allow for a variety of colors to be painted on your walls or floors, making it more vibrant and colorful as opposed to only having a single color.
Use Alt to Freely Place Structures or Objects
Pressing ALT allows you to freely place structures in your house without worrying about restrictions imposed by the game. Do note that the use of space will still be a factor when freely placing structures.
Use Alt to Connect Roofs and Ignore Grid Blocks
Roof structures will not automatically connect with one another so make sure that you're using the ALT option to freely place them above your house.
Assemble Plants Using Alt to Set Them Down Freely
Plants can also use the ALT option so that they can be stacked into one another, making it more compressed and avoiding a garden aesthetic that seems plain.
Build Platforms by a Single Stage So Zois Can Stand on Them
Platforms can only be raised to a single stage if you plan on Zois to stand on them. Making platforms higher will necessitate stairs to reach their surfaces.
Only Create Fences When Finishing Up Your House
Fences are a bit temperamental and glitchy when building your houses, as they can disappear if you're building other structures. Make sure to build them last so that they won't vanish during Build Mode.
All Bugs, Glitches, and Known Issues
Build Mode Categories
Building Presets
| Building Presets Categories | ||
|---|---|---|
| Property Presets | Room Presets | Furniture Presets |
Building Presets is where you can find a bunch of pre-made properties, rooms, and furniture. If you're not sure what to build, or if you want to look at some inspirations for your builds, then you can take a look at the game's presets.
As a note, the Room Presets category also has sub-categories that let you sort by the different room types, such as bedroom, kitchen, etc.
Building
| Building Categories | |
|---|---|
| Home | Exterior |
The Building tab is where you can find all the individual infrastructure pieces, like walls, doors, windows, etc. This is where you'll want to look if you want to fully customize the exterior of your property from scratch.
Similar to Building Presets, you'll also be able to select different sub-categories to sort through which part of the structure you're building.
Furniture
| Furniture Categories | ||
|---|---|---|
| Bedroom | Living Room | Kitchen |
| Bathroom | Home Office | Hobby |
| Outdoors | Social Event | Other |
As implied in the name, the Furniture tab is where you'll be able to find all the different furniture pieces. It's also separated into different categories, like bedroom, kitchen, etc. so that you can easily sort through the different items.
Again, there are sub-categories for the different furniture types, like chairs, tables, etc., allowing you to find the specific piece you're looking for.
Craft
| All Craft Features | |
|---|---|
| 3D Printer | Custom Furniture |
Craft is where you can fully customize and create a single piece of furniture from scratch. There's also the option to use the 3D Printer which will create an item based on an image that you upload.
Edit Colors and Materials
Build Mode also allows players to customize their furniture. Players can change the color and material, as well as add an effect and apply custom textures using AI to furniture.
As a note, this is different from crafting your own furniture pieces. Craft lets you select the different components, while this only lets you change the color and materials.
