Family Office Simulator · published
Another Family Office Simulator update is live.
This one is a broad quality and clarity pass built around a simple rule: the game should explain the decision before it takes your money or asks you to commit.
ACREPILOT AND FINANCING
• AcrePilot listings now include improved Offering Briefs with clearer operating, yield, asset-class, and risk context.
• You can now Preview Financing before submitting the first seller-facing offer.
• Enter a hypothetical purchase price and compare all-cash and eligible lender options without beginning a negotiation.
• Financing previews now show cash to close, remaining checking, interest rate, amortization, monthly and annual debt service, DSCR versus lender minimum, origination fees, recourse, prepayment terms, CMBS lockouts, balloon maturity, leverage, and exact eligibility blockers.
• Preview Financing is read-only. Returning to the offer keeps your proposed price, does not submit anything, and does not remove the listing.
HR AND STAFFING
• HR now shows the estimated salary, benefits, employer payroll tax, and loaded annual cost before you open a role.
• Property Manager hiring now includes the current outside-management comparison when one is available.
• Direct Search and Recruiting Agency options now explain exactly when their fees are charged and what each search is expected to produce.
• Employee workload is now distributed more fairly across available same-role staff instead of favoring roster order.
• HR now retains employee workload history so you can review what each employee actually handled over recent closes.
• Employee retention risk now explains the factors driving the displayed risk instead of leaving the percentage unexplained.
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
• Tenant-level rent and renewal controls have been cleaned up and made easier to understand.
• Occupied-rent previews now show the proposed rent, timing, market comparison, expected monthly and annual change, eligibility, and move-out exposure before confirmation.
• Renewal and Routine Delegation statuses are clearer, including why an action requires owner review.
• Fixed a Routine Delegation text-overlap issue that could appear with longer messages and larger UI scaling.
Existing saves are supported. No new game is required.
Thank you to everyone who keeps sending saves, screenshots, and detailed explanations when something feels confusing or wrong. A lot of this update came directly from those reports.
