I’ve been working through player feedback and this update focuses on making some of the bigger financial events easier to understand, along with cleaning up a few things behind the scenes.
Balloon Payments & Emergency Financing
• Balloon payments now give you a clear warning before the month is processed.
• You can review the amount due, your available cash, and any likely shortfall before deciding to continue.
• Emergency line-of-credit messages now explain how much was borrowed, the new balance, the effective APR, estimated interest, and how repayment works.
• Important financing messages are now easier to spot in Mail.
• The LOC rate shown in Banking now matches the rate used by the game’s calculations.
In-Game Identity Update
• Company, tenant, software, bank, buyer, and security names have been updated to create a more consistent fictional business world.
• Existing saves will automatically update to the new names.
• Names created by the player, including companies, properties, trusts, foundations, ranches, and offices, will not be changed.
• Property values, investments, leases, loans, and other gameplay numbers are not affected.
Thanks again to everyone who has been reporting issues and sharing feedback. I’m working through things as quickly and carefully as I can, and the feedback really does help make the game better.
