Smoll QoL request:
Seeing how many Stories/Floors a house has before you buy it.
Buying houses blind is odd ;)

cheers

New Planetsand other updates are cool!

Still you spend most of the time walking from one screen to another.
Let us quick-jump from screen to screen?

Also the movie scenes (starting, landing, docking etc ...) should be skippable or only appear once.

TBH i would not build it into the extras menu but make older builds seperately available. Because less clutter.

I kept a 4.40 version, but just for sentimentality, i never play the older version because the most actual version always is/was the best one to play!

My savegames survived all updates so far - playing on firefox
Had a backup but never needed it.
I use exporting to keeep the ingame list short.

Room Sorting Method (or Workaround): Number your Rooms = Start your room name with a number and sort them that way!

The jobs&home update becoming a jobs@home update - i like that ;)

Ofc when you employ someone, you will have to pay them extra ...

Cool Game! A real Gem!

Unfortunately Water and Grain is always Zero - both is used to make further products but you cannot buy upgrades with water because it always shows "0".

Nice concept!

Walking speed is terribly slow - jumping from room to room would be better.

Also how do i effectively get +abdomen?

Many Thanks for the bugfix release!

More thanks for implementing my QoL idea for bedroom assignments.
As mentioned i play multiple mansions with up to 13 residents and will be happy when the process of assigning (bed)rooms is smoothed out.
Also cool idea that characters can sleep in bigger beds but prefer appropriate sizes. (Allthought my RL preference for beds is: the bigger the better.)  

Will the mini update have housemaids/hausewives?
Rly liked the suggestion that you can employ characters at your home, having them available 247!

Greets!

Follow up question: Can/will characters that you put into the "Friend Zone" still move into a houshold with the player?

edit: not sure but i guess it is possible to let someone move in  who is friend zoned.

I Wish Taylor Applebrook a good run with the upcoming Update!
Aware the list of fixes/additions might be quite long - so take U time as always!

Played multiple (three) towns in parallel the last days.
Overall i had great fun with managing large Houses - Mansions - Castles!
Did not encounter any further glitches/bugs the last two days.

One gameplay decision i think is not fully comprehensible:
Of course Heavy Characters need sturdier beds, but why can Light Characters not sleep in the bigger beds? i think every character should be able to use large beds including the matress. The restriction should be one directional.

repost: Here is a little qol mockup that could make assigning/managing bedrooms easier:

Greets!

Q: is the "friend zone" permanent or will you get another chance to fall in love?
Will you get another chance to choose between friendship or girl/boyfriend?

intresting find & confirmation that it works fine

Found that characters in your home with "blob" status get moved to the underground lab when you move to another town.

When you travel back to the "original" town characters will move in with you again (keeping what they might have gained in the DUF) 

Regression Catalysts also work as they should - the character gets transferred to Gentle Meadows in their Original Town!

!Everything works, maybe it is useful for someone to know about the exact behaviour.

OF New Towns Glitch

When you move to a new town you can no longer manage your active models from the previous town. The "view profile" button is dead and in the top 50  models get the postfix "(unknown)".
"Run Ads" oddly still works. 

Luckily when you go back to the town the active OF models live, everything works as normal for them again.
(Not checked yet what happens when you have OF models in multiple differnt towns.)

This is not gamebreaking but an odd glitch.
Obv has to do with the contact list beeing per town - might be tricky to handle this - could work similar to how DDD works when operating nation wide.

More drastic means for weightloss where already discussed and will be expanded in future. afair

Smoll aesthetic request
On day trips it would be nice to see calories burned when you do a sporty activity.
Would also be nice seeing calories consumed on the day trips.

Bug
Have to report that the "chasing a girl in the house" issue is still present.
You go to a room to meet a girl, the character has moved to another room -> repeating.

Properteis of the character in question:

Height: 156 cm | BMI: 118.8 | Shape: Overall | Fitness: 0% | Status: Barely Mobile

Appearance: Dark brown hair, steel grey eyes, with a bronzed skin tone

Personality: Prudish | Job: Unemployed (Unemployed)

!edit: seems to have to do with the "unemployed" status, checked with 2 other characters.

Workaround if you are lucky: Click something else like browsing the internet, saving the game, go to a location ... then sometimes it unglitches the girl chasing bug.

1. is rly very unrealistic. Real estate properties are also called immovables for a reason.
It will get easier to buy houses in new towns right away when you move to a new town! (As discussed in an earlier thread.)

my 2 cents

So we will be able to have a housemaid / housewive - that is a good idea!

Fitness level already exists so the passive wl/wg system could be linked to that value.

What was discussed is a fitness center which counters the effect that DDD has, for individual charactes, including addiction, but also for the towns obesity rate.

Good to know & nice feature.

possible Glitch and Workaround

(Ex) bosses when fired will not get a new job again, they will stay unemployed.

workaround: When unemployed ex bosses get immobile and back to mobility  again they will take a new job!

explore the underground lab - and it is just luck based at the moment.
(tutorial/wiki for recurring questions needed)

afair/afaik when you delete an immobile character from the contact list, they get mobile again so they can appear in town again.
Havent't thought abot it until now - but that should actually be a way, almost exploit, to quickly slim a character down. Ofc with the downside that you have to be lucky to meet them again.

Maybe you have to let a feeder personality level up before they start a DDD Branch?

3rd bug:  already reported and  fix confirmed for next update.

4th oberservation: you can go to the home information screen and buy/rearrange beds by clicking on the room & "purchase upgrades". This also works while a character is moving in afair.

... may i suggest an esoteric, flower power, "hippie" personality - becoming one with sacred tempeh-pizza ...

You can still back the game and all connected files up by saving the frame (firefox).
Having a downloadable version/container would be cool ofc.

The announced interactive clothing will bring a whole new dimension to the game!
Clothing beeing tied to the wardrobe is a reasonable idea ofc.
Guess we can rely on taylor having something sophisticated planned out in that regard.

Glad u like it ofc!
Having info about who occupies which room, free bedrooms, and the ability to assign rooms on the home info screen could rly help managing large Mansions ... Castles i mean😉

Sounds like a clean solution where you have to put a little more effort into the process ... i like it.

Ok, that's why i would rather have a neutral background that let's you go in any direction you want, without locking you out of some paths but without initial buffs.

is this the calm before the storm (?)

NOT bugged, just less nuanced i would say ...

checked it and it is true - you cannot feed any feeder personality weight loss medication at your home living with you.
You have to ask the feeder to move out, the character then will be moved to Gentle Meadows where you can "Administer weight loss medication".
Should work similar with blobs?

How do i get "BSc Psychology"?
Studying "Health & Social Care" currently, will that lead to Psychology?

The "Feed Her" button has that option! (When you have wl drugs in your inventory.)

QoL idea
"Bed Assignments" while fully working there is no info about free beds and generally could use some Ui&QoL improovement.

It could be integrated, into the "Home information" Screen.
Having info about assigned beds with character names and a button or drop down menu to assign a bed when free.

Crude Example:
 

Hope you like the idea - but have no idea if this is hard or easy to build.

Oddity:
The only item you can use on any ingame character! No matter in which palce or situation they are! + You get a full list of all ingame characters!

You can acquire it in the Underground Facility, quite expensive but once you have it, it is almost too easy to use.

"Metabolic Re-Sequencer

A single-use, high-tech consumable. This device allows you to permanently alter the fundamental way a person's body stores fat, changing their gain pattern to one of your choosing."

 

The list obv can get quite long.
Could it maybe use some sorting mechanic or beautification (?)
Or a redesign of how the Re-Sequencer works and looks (?)
Or is it just fine as an rly odd device that somehow works magical-metaphysical?
