  • Streamlined Settings: Players can now toggle "No Thru Traffic" or "Barricade" settings directly from the pinned panel.

  • Integrated DemolitionNon-unique neighborhoods can be demolish ed via the pinned panel, featuring a new safety-check to prevent accidental bulldozer use.

Visual & Performance Polish

  • Crisp OutlinesNeighborhoods and vehicles now feature smooth, high-fidelity outlines, including corrected geometry for circular neighborhoods and the stadium vehicle.
  • GPU Optimization: Enhanced GPU utilization provides significant performance increases, especially in high-traffic scenarios.

  • Clearer Indicators: Barricade icons now use AQR Orange to distinguish them from red traffic alerts.

Bug Fixes & Tutorial Tuning

  • Ghost Neighborhood FixResolved a critical issue in Paris, Rio de Janeiro, and Toronto where failed neighborhood spawns caused severe performance degradation.
  • Focused Tutorial: The tutorial now ignores advanced settings (Barricades, No Thru Traffic) and also ignores the Coffee Break mechanic to keep the learning curve focused on core fundamentals.
