What's new in the game
**A prettier village** - Houses have brick, stone or plaster façades, with shrubs and flower beds in front of them. - Rows of vegetables grow in the gardens, and the larger crossroads have painted pedestrian crossings. **Villagers like real people** - Villagers now look like little figurines: they have faces with eyes, noses and eyebrows, hands and shoes. - They differ by hairstyle (short hair, long hair, a bun), and older villagers have grey hair. - Some men have moustaches or beards. Grandmas wear skirts, and grandpas wear waistcoats over their jumpers. - Clothes come in warm, natural colours, and villagers nod their heads when they talk. **New game mode: Family** - Made for children and families. - No storms, nobody moves away and elections can't be lost. - Associations wait patiently, and the county helps out when money runs low. - Everything that's most fun stays: building, decorating, villagers and festivals. **Village council** - On every payday, one card shows money, satisfaction, the most important warning and up to three decisions for that week. - Each decision has its own button, e.g. "Repair" or "Calendar". - Fewer pop-up messages, and association requests wait in the council. **Faster to the goal** - Clicking a house, building, field or tree instantly offers the most important actions, e.g. "Repair" or "Buy to rent". - Clicking money, satisfaction or population explains why they change and what changed since last week. - The new ⏭ button skips quiet weeks and stops as soon as something happens. - After every building action an "↶ Undo" button appears, so confirmation is needed only for expensive or irreversible actions. **A challenge for experienced players** - Buildings older than two years gradually cost more to maintain, so money must be spent more wisely. **Smoother and more pleasant** - The new loading screen has tips, and the game starts without stuttering. - Shadows are sharper, and the game uses less battery on mobile. - On mobile, buttons and cards are better arranged. **Accessibility** - Settings have new colour-blind-friendly colours (blue and orange instead of green and red). - There is also a choice of animations (follow device, reduced or full).
