Update Notes For v0.58.03 - Moving Cities
Households can now move between cities!
There is a new button on the top dashboard to export your household:
This will open a pop-up with details on how much money will be exported:
Notice "Liquidated Assets" are only worth 50% of their actual value! This naturally creates an optional mini-game where you can attempt to sell your real estate, businesses, stocks, etc for as much cash as possible before moving cities. Of course, you'll have to pay tax on the capital gains but you should still come out ahead:
Once you've exported the household, it's time to start a new game. Click the Import button on the Character Creation screen and your household is ready to start their new lives with important stats intact:
I've also made it (relatively) simple to create a mod from your exported households and upload them to the Steam workshop if you want to share it with everyone.
