1. AI works with probabilities / randomization
Many AI systems in life-sims use probability to create variation.
• The AI might have a small chance to start a “conflict” regardless of your Zoi’s personality.
• This prevents all interactions from being identical and boring.
2. Lack of context or nuance
The AI can’t always subtly interpret that your Zoi is friendly.
• The system often doesn’t perfectly know “friendly vs. hostile,” especially when modeling complex relationships or emotions.
• Sometimes a neutral or small remark is “translated” by the AI into a mini-conflict.
3. Input from previous events
The AI keeps track of past interactions, choices, and emotional scores.
• If another Zoi previously reacted negatively, your friendly Zoi may unintentionally start a conversation that the algorithm interprets as “challenging.”
4. Script vs. emergent behavior
• InZOI may aim to generate “lively stories.”
• In practice, this sometimes means the AI overdoes it in trying to create drama.
• The result: your friendly Zoi appears to start a fight in 50% of cases, even if their personality wouldn’t normally do so.

1. Focus on emotional scores / relationships
• Many life-sims have underlying numbers for how Zois feel toward each other (friendship, respect, etc.).
• Higher positive scores reduce the chance your Zoi reacts aggressively or negatively.
• Work on positive interactions before important conversations: compliments, helping out, small gifts.
• Result: the AI receives context that your Zoi is friendly, making “starting a fight” less likely.
2. Start with neutral conversations
• Instead of immediately choosing interactions that might trigger something, pick neutral or standard options: greetings, talking about the weather, general topics.
• This lets the AI “safely” build the conversation without forcing drama.
3. Watch timing and environment
• Sometimes the AI interprets surroundings or past events as a reason for conflict.
• Start conversations when there are no triggers (e.g., no angry NPCs, no stressful nearby events, no prior fights).
• Result: your friendly Zoi is less “forced” into conflicts.
4. Use “positive prompts” when possible
• Some features in inZOI, especially AI-driven social interactions, allow slight guidance.
• Examples: programming or prompting a Zoi to remain friendly, avoid certain words/actions.
• This “hints” the AI toward friendly behavior.
5. Accept that AI will sometimes be dramatic
• Even with all the above, the AI will occasionally create surprises.
• This is inherent to “Smart Zoi” and emergent behavior.
• The upside: small surprises can make your stories more lively if used in your “InZOI Stories.”

Full control doesn’t exist. But by building positive relationships, choosing neutral interactions, and monitoring the environment, you can greatly reduce unwanted conflict. Your Zoi will largely stay true to their character, and unexpected AI moments will be less disruptive.
