If you've spent hours crafting the perfect character or designing an amazing house in the inZOI demo, you're probably wondering how to keep those creations once Early Access drops. Well, you're in luck! We've put together a friendly, step-by-step guide on how to transfer your inZOI demo character to the Early Access version, so you don't have to start from scratch.
Why You Should Care About Transferring Your Creations
Whether it’s your character, a custom house, or a cool piece of furniture you designed, all your hard work deserves to be preserved. When the Early Access version of inZOI arrives, you’ll want to hit the ground running with everything you’ve already built. Transferring your creations ensures you can continue the fun without losing any of your awesome work.
Let’s dive into how you can easily transfer your inZOI creations from the demo to Early Access!
Two Easy Ways to Transfer Your Creations
There are two main methods to save and transfer your characters and builds from the demo to Early Access: saving to your Canvas account or creating a local backup. Both methods are pretty straightforward, so let’s go over each one.
Option 1: Save to Your Canvas Account
Saving to Canvas is by far the easiest and most reliable way to ensure your creations make the jump to Early Access. Here’s how to do it:
-
Upload to Canvas:
-
In the inZOI demo, after you’ve created your character or designed a house, look for the Canvas button in the top right corner of your screen.
-
Click on it! This will upload your creation to your Canvas account, storing everything in the cloud. This means your stuff is safe and sound, even if you uninstall the demo or switch to a different version of the game.
-
-
Complete Your Character or Design:
-
When you're happy with your character or house, be sure to hit the Complete button in the bottom right corner of the screen. This will finalize your creation and save it as a Zoi Preset.
-
Your preset will be ready to use whenever you switch to Early Access!
-
-
Access in Early Access:
-
Once Early Access goes live, just log into your Canvas account in the Early Access version.
-
You should find all your saved characters, furniture, and designs in your Canvas gallery. From there, you can easily download and start using your creations right away!
-
Why Canvas is the Best Option: Using Canvas makes sure your creations are always available to you, no matter which device or version of inZOI you’re playing on. It’s cloud-based, so there’s no risk of losing your work.
Option 2: Local Backup
If you prefer to back up your creations locally, or if you’re worried about compatibility between versions, this method is for you. Here’s how to save your creations to your PC:
-
Save Your Presets:
-
If you've created a character or piece of furniture, make sure to save it as a Zoi Preset. To save furniture items, use the Save Furniture Preset option, and for full interiors or outdoor areas, use Save Property Preset.
-
These presets will be saved to your PC in the following location:
Documents > inZOI.
-
-
Transfer Your Files:
-
After installing Early Access, head to the Documents > inZOI folder.
-
Copy the files from your demo backup into the same folder within the Early Access version. The files should be ready to use!
-
Heads Up: Local backups are helpful, but they can sometimes run into compatibility issues between the demo and Early Access versions of the game. If you want to avoid any headaches, we recommend using Canvas instead.
What You Need to Know About Recovering Your Data in Early Access
Once you’ve saved your creations, transferring them to Early Access should be a breeze. When you load up the Early Access version, all your files (whether saved to Canvas or locally) will be organized by category. This makes it easy to find your creations and jump right back into your gameplay.
Here’s What to Expect:
-
Organized Creations: Whether it’s characters, furniture, or entire builds, everything will be neatly categorized for easy access.
-
Smooth Transition: If you’ve used Canvas, the transition should be seamless. Simply log in, and your work will be there, ready to go!
Pro Tip: Always Keep Backups!
Even though inZOI does a great job of saving your creations, it's always a good idea to keep an extra backup of your favorite designs and characters. It’s a small step to ensure you don’t lose anything in case of an error.
