Get started with the official toolkit for inZOI modding. Build original content, publish it to CurseForge, and share it with the community through a smooth, Creator-friendly workflow.
Create, publish, and inspire - together.
Publish your mods with ease! Directly upload your work from the inZOI ModKit, test it in-game, and once it's live, use the dashboard to get simple, insightful analytics.
Import inZOI's 3D models straight from the inZOI ModKit and into Blender or Maya easily. Modify, remix, or create from scratch, then import into the game.
Once approved, your mods appear in-game for all PC players to explore and download directly from their menu — a true connection between creativity and fun.
Join a thriving modding community! Connect on Discord for expert support from CurseForge, share ideas, and create together in the inZOI modding open space.
Yes, in order to publish your mod, you must sign in with a CurseForge account.
You can! Modders may publish and submit as many mods as they'd like. Each participant can only win one judged category prize and one mid-contest reward during the contest.
The Next Top Modder will have 25 winners! You can win through one of our main categories, or as the community favorite.
The contest consists of category winners, mid-contest prizes, and community favorites. CurseForge or the community (all depending on the type of reward) will judge and select the winning mods. Learn more about our process on The Next Top Modder Terms and Conditions page.
At the end of the contest, the community will vote on their favorite mods from selected finalists through a voting form shared with the public. Check our Discord and other socials for more details when voting opens!
inZOI mods are created using the inZOI ModKit. Once your mod is ready, use the "Upload to CurseForge" widget inside the editor. Your mod will be automatically submitted for moderation and uploaded to the CurseForge website once reviewed and approved.
Since the first The Next Top Modder contest, lots of new modding content has been added to inZOI! This includes the ability to create hairstyles, makeup, and facial features for characters. Interactions have also been added, allowing you to provide richer expressions through animations, interactions, voice, and conversation systems. For Builds, you can now create custom doors, fences, windows, stairs, and more!
No, your entry must be something new and published after the contest start date.
Yes, you need to be at least 18 years old to participate and be able to claim the reward via our Reward Program.
