# November 9 — Purchase Agreements, Navigation & Rent Roll Update

Another Family Office Simulator update is here!

This one addresses something a player recently pointed out that needed fixing: accepted property purchase prices could effectively stay locked indefinitely while you worked on financing or built up your cash.

That's not the kind of realism I want in FOS, so I've made some changes.

## ACREPILOT — PURCHASE AGREEMENTS NOW HAVE DEADLINES

When a seller accepts your purchase offer, you now have a defined window to complete the deal.

- **Closing deadlines:** Newly accepted offers remain available through the end of the following in-game month.
- **Extensions:** You can request one additional month, but the seller has to agree. Approval isn't guaranteed.
- **Clear warnings:** You'll see when an agreement is approaching expiration, including a warning before closing the final available month.
- **Better history:** Expired agreements are recorded in Negotiation History. The seller can then return the property to the market under new terms.
- **Decide Later:** You can leave an accepted-offer screen and continue managing your family office without accidentally withdrawing the agreement.
- **Clearer explanations:** Seller extension decisions and the consequences of letting an agreement expire are easier to understand.

These rules apply to newly accepted offers. Agreements already accepted in older saved campaigns aren't suddenly given retroactive deadlines.

The goal is to make property negotiations meaningful without adding unnecessary paperwork or artificial penalties.

## OPEN APPS — MORE CONSISTENT NAVIGATION

I've also improved how the taskbar handles your open applications.

Open apps now appear in the same consistent order as the Desktop launcher, regardless of which application you opened first.

Keyboard navigation and focus handling have also been improved, particularly when several applications are open.

## DWELLINGDESK — RENT ROLL READABILITY

The Rent Roll received another round of polish.

Tenant names, column headings, financial figures and selection controls should now be easier to read.

I've also improved contrast while preserving the table's existing layout and the amount of information you can see at once.

## EXISTING CAMPAIGNS

**You do not need to start a new game.**

Supported existing campaigns remain compatible, including previously accepted purchase terms under their original rules.

The update went through independent review, financial and save-integrity checks, packaged Windows testing and private Steam testing. I also reviewed the purchase-contract gameplay and updated interfaces through Steam before approving the release.

Thanks to everyone who continues to play FOS and point out where things could be better. Player feedback has been a big part of making this a deeper, more realistic simulation, and I appreciate it.

If you run into an issue, please let me know in Steam Discussions or contact [email protected]. Your installed BuildID, screenshots and an exported save are especially helpful when troubleshooting.

Thanks for playing!
