Patch Note #1.1 (Cursor fix, Glass walls)

Knock-knock—or rather, click-click, fellow builders!

We're excited to share some handy updates designed to streamline your experience. Dive into this small patch, packed with fixes and exciting new features.🔥

1. Cursor lag fix — your movements should now be smooth and swift.
2. Refined the camera controls enhancing sensitivity and introducing middle-click panning for better navigation.
3. Copy tool to the top bar for effortless, one-click item duplication, and now you will also be able to copy the color of wall & floor surfaces.


4. Color-change fixes for: Wooden Counter Dishwasher, Gothic Kitchen Cabinet Corner, Victorian Bathroom Hanger, Oakwood Stool, Round Rug

…. and a very highly requested feature …🥁…

5. 😱Window for curved (and also normal) walls: You can now transform walls into glass windows with just a click. How's that for transparency?


🐞🐞If you encounter any bugs or just want to chat about the game, suggest improvements, or connect with other players, our Discord doors are always open (no need to knock).

Thank you for your continuous feedback. Stay tuned for more updates

Patch Note #1. (Internet connection. Bug fixes. Photo mode. Flat rugs.)

Hi neighbors!
Just a quick update as we keep making the game better: here's our first Patch Note.

⚡⚡We've temporarily turned off the option to play offline because, for now, saving your beautiful homes requires an internet connection. We're super sorry for this inconvenience and are working on a fix so you can get back to building your dream spaces without the internet connection. Thanks for your understanding and patience!⚡⚡

[h3]What’s new[/h3]

Photo mode is here!

Shortcut: U key

It should hide any UI elements, including visual indications on the game (like invisible walls, tools, grid).

Mirrored curtains

We added the mirrored version of the curtains for:

- Side Curtain
- Curtain

[h3]🐞BUG FIXES🐞[/h3]

1. Added a new error message when there is no internet connection.
  • should work upon starting Vivaland
  • if players get disconnected mid-session

2. Half-columns (which are wall objects) within the column category, should now be scalable.
3. This bug shouldn't occur anymore: Сar can be placed in the wall if you move it along with the Driveaway
4. Duplicating items with Ctrl shortcut now should copy over the resizing & recolor.
5. When right-clicking on wall lot objects, they should not disappear

[h3]ROOF[/h3]

1. The roof context menu shouldn’t hide the height change arrow of the roof. It happened before when a roof was raised.
2. When a roof was resized while the grid was activated, the roof started moving around. It shouldn't happen anymore.

[h3]UNDO[/h3]

1. Undoing fences shouldn’t turn into walls anymore.
2. If you accidentally make foundation the undo button will fix it the way it were before.
3. Fixed crash upon invisible wall and foundation undo.

[h3]WALLS[/h3]

1. Now, dragging a curved wall, the first time should affect all walls, which are on the same level.
2. Wall placement shouldn’t be invalid on the first floor if there is a curved wall connection on the floor above.
3. Destroying a wall shouldn't drag other walls and items with it.
4. Added minimum width/length constraints to room draw.
5. These issues should not occur:
  • If you click a wall, you can grab items from the other side of the wall
  • Shouldn’t see arrow handles if they are behind a wall

HOTFIX #2 (low fatal error/ screenshots/ towncodes)

Hello, neighbors!

Great news, we have finally managed to solve the problem that was causing the Low Fatal Error. It turned out that DX12 was not working well with our version of Unreal Engine.

We are very sorry that you were unable to play our game until now!

But now we are eagerly waiting for all of you to visit!

Many of you have asked how to remove the interface for beautiful photos, until we've added a separate button, please use the keyboard shortcut by pressing the U key.

By the way, if you want to play with someone but couldn't find a friend, join our Discord channel.

Or leave the codes for your towns right here at your own risk. No one is immune to bad contractors that might appear on your lot.
