After the big update, there may be issues with the mods that have not been updated. It is recommended to turn off all mods before starting a new game.

The tourism pack is actually for a later stage of the game. We still hope our players have enough time to deal with the basic survival problems in the early stages. After your town is stabilized, it is time to try the tourism pack. Tourism is intended to provide wider access to immigrants and more ways to earn Silver Coins.

[h3]Key Features:[/h3]
The basic gameplay is building scenic attractions and using the item Souvenir to promote your town and attract tourists. You can gain Access Points by satisfying tourists' requests. Use Access Points to unlock more attraction structures and commercial structures to increase Town Attractiveness. Finally, you will earn more Silver Coins and attract more immigrants from tourists.
The Town Attractiveness is composed of 4 positive factors and 1 negative factor:

1. Happiness and Health.
   
2. Tourist Satisfaction.
   
3. The number of built attractions and commercial structures.
   
4. Decorations in scenic areas.
   
5. Pollution buildings in scenic areas.
   

New Art Resources:

• Added 9 attraction structure models.
  
• Added 10 commercial structure models.
  
• Added the regular tourist model.
  
• Added premium tourist carriage model.

• Tourist Requests: click tourists to check their requests.
  

Feature Adjustments:

• Added the Attraction Structure section to the bottom menu bar.
  
• Added the Access Point Shop where players can redeem items or structures.
  
• Added an immigrant source. Tourists can immigrate to your town, but Town Attractiveness affects immigration numbers. Immigrants from tourists don't carry the plague.

• Town Attractiveness will increase when decoration structures are built in scenic areas.
  
• Health and Happiness also have impacts on Town Attractiveness.
