Two days after launch, August 22, 2025 brought a broader hotfix — most of it aimed at City Trips, the new travel system that has become the update's biggest source of problems.

Build versions

• Windows PC (Steam): 20250822.6919.W
• Mac (Steam): 20250822.6920.M

Gameplay

• Fixed Zois occasionally being unselectable, or interactions being unavailable.
• Fixed abnormal screens and the City Map screen repeatedly appearing during City Trips.
• Fixed the Resale Store owner not appearing in the travelled-to city.
• Fixed infinite loading when starting a City Trip after pressing the City Map shortcut (M) with the trip pop-up open — ESC now closes that pop-up.
• Fixed Zois refusing to move when continuing a game saved mid-"Deliver" at the Resale Store.
• Fixed missing interaction icons during the Turtlebot Race at the Cahaya Resort.
• Fixed the time-skip pop-up looping endlessly when continuing from a save made during a traffic accident.

• Fixed the new background not applying when editing mannequin appearance in Build Studio.
• Fixed funds going negative when expanding a swimming pool without enough money.

Mods disable on patch

For stability, all mods are automatically disabled whenever an update or patch is applied. Re-enable them afterwards — see our modding guide.
