St. Patrick's Day 2015: The city is looking a bit greener these days, and we also have a special new limited edition holiday item available (rotate it for different rainbow colors)! Get the details on how to get your hands on it before they are gone for good after March 19 @ 11:59 PM by clicking on the clover icon at the top of the game screen.
FEATURE
The phone icon that loads your properties window now makes a lot more sense - it actually launches your shiny new phone! Right now you have a standard black phone with a blue background, but future updates will bring customizations. You can open the phone from anywhere in the game and it launches with 5 apps (more are in the works). It can be opened/closed from the phone icon or by pressing the 'o' key.
FEATURE
Properties App: This replaces the previous Manage Properties window and now lets you see your stats even while inside.
FEATURE
Tools App: This is a feature for power-builders that unlocks after you open your 3rd casino. We know it can get tedious manually fixing broken items and picking up the special garbage that your janitors miss. So, you can now take care of all of that instantly with one simple click and a small convenience fee.
FEATURE
Friends App: You can now see a list of all of your friends and when they were last online. Clicking on their avatar opens their profile window. You can also see where they are in the game right now if they are currently online.
FEATURE
Camera App: Everyone these days has a camera at the ready in their phones, so why not in the virtual world as well? You can now take photos (also known as screenshots) anywhere in the game. You can then get the direct URL to the photo or share it on social networks/e-mail.
FEATURE
Photos App: This is where you can access your collection of photos and take action on them (get the link, share, delete, etc). Everyone can store up to 25 photos, and citizens get room for 100.
FEATURE
Your phone also comes with a clock that shows the same game-time for everyone. This is now the time that is displayed everywhere in the game (such as the poker lobby) to make it easier for people in different areas of the world to communicate times.
FEATURE
In addition to the new limited edition item, there are 7 new decorative light items available for casinos and crews.
FIX
Fixed a visual Blackjack bug that sometimes caused stats to get out of sync.
FIX
Changing global/crew chat settings now updates correctly.
FIX
Global chat is fully hidden when checking the box (no more reload needed).
FIX
Fixed a few issues that sometimes prevented the bush man from showing up when he was supposed to.
