What else?
- The makers have made a few quality of life improvements to the game to make building easier:
- Multistory Object Functionality– tall objects can now be placed inside, you can place items such as trees, plants, double height pillars and even a basketball court in mezzanines or on balconies:
- Home Store Category Visibility– for newer players who haven’t unlocked all the categories in buy mode yet you will now see some of these categories but they will be locked (greyed out) with instructions how to unlock them. To start you will see categories such as Patios, Infants and Toddlers but they are working on showing more in future updates:
- Multistory Object Functionality– tall objects can now be placed inside, you can place items such as trees, plants, double height pillars and even a basketball court in mezzanines or on balconies:
-
- Wall Lamp Placement– this is my favourite change! Before you could only place a wall lamp on a square and you were unable to use that square on the floor for anything but now wall lamps now have the same placement functionality as paintings so you will be able to place items in front of them:
Check out my video on these improvements here
- You will also be able to get double rewards from the paperboy between the 31st March- 6th April and 14th- 18th April:
