- Mod Compatibility: Fixed a display error that prevented food items from appearing correctly on sales counters when using Object Mods.
- Interaction Fixes: The “Portion and Set Table” command now functions as intended when used at bar tables.
- Trial Stability: Addressed a progression blocker where trials would stall if a Joi event occurred simultaneously.
*Note: This fix may not apply retroactively to save files where the conflict has already been triggered. - User Interface: The “Save Zoi Preset” button will no longer remain unresponsive if mandatory fields are left blank.
- Navigation: Vehicles will no longer come to an abrupt halt when the “Go to the Business Property” command is selected while driving.
- Creator Credits: Fixed a bug that stripped original creator metadata from Zoi and Style Presets.
- Visual Indicators:
- Corrected camera behavior to ensure “inner-thought” speech bubbles remain visible at various zoom levels.
- Eliminated instances of empty speech bubbles appearing during gameplay.
- Restored missing dialogue icons that occasionally failed to trigger during conversations.
- Gameplay Balancing: Adjusted the law enforcement system to reduce the excessive frequency of arrests for minor infractions.
Important Stability Note: To ensure a smooth experience after the update, all installed mods will be automatically disabled. You may manually reactivate them through the settings menu once the patch is complete.
