Major Update 3 - Apartment buildings and empty land, UI and QOL!

Introducing the Final Major Update! 🚀

Buying apartment buildings and empty land, UI overhauls, Quality-of-Life improvements, and another big performance boost!

🛠️ Major Features & Changes

• Updated UI for My Properties: Cleaner look and better navigation.
• Improved Performance & Data Loading: Fixed stuttering. The game is now lag-free most of the time, even on max speed!
• Buy Apartment Buildings: Individual units will now go up for sale randomly, allowing you to buy an entire apartment building over time.
• Buy Empty Land: You can now purchase empty land and build your own property from scratch — whether it's a single house or a whole apartment building!
• Speed Up Upgrades: You can now pay extra to have property upgrades completed faster.
• Upgrade Risk Balance: Slightly increased the chance that an upgrade attempt will not be successful (adds more risk/reward).
• Property Star Ratings: Properties now display a star rating calculated from their total upgrades and overall condition.
• Lawn Mowing Buff: Reaching level 3 in Lawn Mowing now boosts your tractor speed by 30%! (More gig updates coming soon)
• New Contact - "Builder": Added a new contractor contact for your construction needs.
• Parking App Notifications: Added helpful notifications in the app to show you where to park.
• Economic Adjustments: Decreased the interval for rent changes.
• Renamed Rented Property "Rating": Changed to "Mood" for better clarity on how your tenants feel.
• Wear & Tear Aging: Property wear and tear is now slightly affected by the overall age of the building.
• Realistic Financial Markets: Gold now behaves much more like in real life, and precious metals will react dynamically to world events!

🖥️ UI & Quality of Life Improvements

• UI Scaling Fixes: Updated default UI scale for 1366x768 resolutions.
• Auto UI Recalculation: Changing resolution will now automatically recalculate the default UI scale to fit your screen. (You can still manually adjust it in settings anytime).
• Property Filtering: You can now filter what types of properties you want to see inside the My Properties menu.
