Teens To Work v1.0
Your teens can now work at all different jobs — everything from cafes and stores to firefighting and entertainment careers. No more restricting your teenagers Zois!
WHAT THIS MOD DOES
Ever wonder why your teenage Zois can’t work? In vanilla InZoi, for the most part only Young Adults can get jobs. This mod fixes that.
Simple version: Your teens can now work at all different jobs.
The catch: They’ll have to drop out of school to work (InZoi only allows 1 job at a time, and school counts as a job). But don’t worry, they can always quit and go back to school later.
WHY USE THIS MOD
Let your teens earn money instead of sitting at home
All jobs unlocked (part-time + full-time jobs)
Works for all ages — teens through seniors can all work
Zero lag, zero conflicts with other mods(unless they also modify anything related to jobs)
HOW IT WORKS
The game treats school as a “job” — your Zoi can only have one job at a time. So if your teen gets hired, they automatically quit school. Simple as that.
Want them back in school? Just quit the job and re-enroll them. They can switch between work and school anytime.
About Career Jobs:
For professional careers like Law Firm or University, teens can only apply to entry-level positions. They’ll need to earn promotions to climb

KNOWN BEHAVIORS
Expected:
Teenagers working will not attend school (1 job limit)
Teens can switch between work/school freely
Career progression works normally within age limits
Wages are standard (not modified) although I highly recommend to use together with my other mod: Enhanced Salaries
Limitations:
Cannot work AND study simultaneously (engine limitation)
Some promotions require aging up (Adult-only ranks)
No teen-specific dialogue/animations (vanilla limitation)
TROUBLESHOOTING
Q: My teenager still can’t apply for jobs
A: Verify the mod is enabled, teen is HighTeen age (not LowTeen), and game has been restarted
Q: Why did my teenager drop out of school?
A: This is expected. InZoi only allows 1 job per Zoi. School counts as a job.
Q: Can they work part-time while studying?
A: No. This would require engine-level changes beyond JsonPatch capabilities.
Q: Why can’t my teen become a senior lawyer?
A: Career companies only allow entry-level access. Senior positions require promotions.
Q: Does this restrict older Zois from working?
A: No. Age range is HighTeen→Old. All age groups can still work.
