In the coming days, we’ll continue adding new content to ContractVille, along with bug fixes and improvements. [/p][p]As always, your feedback means a lot to us. [/p][p]Thank you for your support! 🏗️✨ [/p][p][/p]

[p]Hello Contractors![/p][p]As we mentioned in our previous announcement, we are continuing to work full steam ahead on bug fixes.[/p][p]In this update, we have made improvements to the auction, navigation, and construction sections, as well as resolving a few issues related to lighting in terms of optimization.[/p][p]We will continue to add new features to the game and make bug fixes in the coming period.[/p][p][/p][h2]Highlights[/h2]

• [p]Major navigation improvements for more consistent pathing.[/p]
• [p]Auction now factors in more build elements and shows your total cost.[/p]
• [p]Better access to windows hidden behind ladders during construction.[/p]

[p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][h2]Performance & Optimization[/h2]

• [p]Fixed a performance issue related to ceiling lights, identified via optimization feedback.[/p][p]I'm posting our optimization form here once again. If you're experiencing optimization issues, you can help us identify the source of the problem by filling out the form. Thank you very much for your feedback.[/p]
• [p]Various NPC performance improvements and bug fixes (ongoing).[/p]
• [p]A Shadow toggle has been added to the Ceiling Light interface.[/p][p]Players can now choose to disable shadows from light sources for better performance, or enable them for more realistic lighting and shading effects.[/p][p][/p][p]We would like to show you this comparison from one of the save files you sent us.[/p][p]You can see the FPS difference regarding the lighting optimization improvement in the image below.[/p][p]Both images were captured at 4K Epic settings with DLSS/DLAA settings.
  [/p][p][/p]

[h2]Auction[/h2]

• [p]Roof, Porch, Balcony, Garage, Pool, and Outdoor Furniture (Garden) now affect auction calculations.[/p]
• [p]Total cost is now visible directly in the Auction panel.[/p]
• [p]Added an Info Box to the Auction tab with key tips and details.[/p]
• [p]Done-stage changes now count: After moving a build to Done, any modifications you make will now correctly reflect in the auction (previously they didn’t).[/p]
• [p]Interaction lock (reason): Items that now affect the auction and are paid as part of the sale are locked from interaction during the auction phase and after the house is sold, so priced content can’t be altered.[/p]
• [p]A visual error that caused us to see different values than previously calculated when opening and closing the auction panel has been fixed.[/p]
• [p]Roof construction is incurring more consistent expenses, and this is reflected in the price based on the expenditures. This also applies to the balcony, porch, and garden.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Gameplay & Building[/h2]

• [p]You can now access the nails of windows hidden behind ladders during construction.
  When holding a screwdriver and standing on the ladder, the ladder’s opacity lowers so you can see and interact with the window.[/p]
• [p]When Build missions (including Mail, Parcel, and Contract types) are canceled or replanned, any Consumable Cost spent up to that point is now refunded.[/p]

[h2]Navigation Improvement [/h2]

• [p]Pathfinding has been significantly improved. Vehicles now follow lane-based routes for smoother and more realistic navigation. [/p]
• [p]When a route is set on the opposite lane, the system automatically adjusts based on your current direction, guiding you to make a proper turn at the next intersection.[/p]

[h2]Missions[/h2]

• [p]Fixed an issue where Amid, Isabella, and Lin (the last three missions) could, for unknown reasons, reactivate after completion and get stuck in a loop.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a bug preventing “Amid Decorate Contract” from reaching 100% completion.[/p]

[h2]UI/UX[/h2]

• [p]Outside Decoration (Optional) panel (under General Mission Progress) now includes items for Garden, Roof, Porch, Balcony, Pool, and Garage.[/p]
• [p]Resolved “Missing string table” errors in the Comments tab.[/p]

This time, we're rolling out important bug fixes along with two major additions: the Pool and the Garage![/p][p]To celebrate this milestone, ContractVille is 50% off as part of the ContractVille Daily Deal!
Now's the perfect time to jump in—or to gift it to a fellow contractor.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]🎥 Don’t forget to check out the video we’ve prepared for this update![/p][p]We’ve put it together to give you a closer look at what’s new.[/p][p][/p][p]Let’s dive into the full update notes...[/p][p][/p][h2]Pool[/h2][p][/p][h3]🏊 A Summer Touch to Your Garden[/h3][p]Bring some summer vibes to your builds![/p][p]With the new Pool feature, you can now add a refreshing touch to the garden of your house in ContractVille. Whether you're going for a cozy backyard or a luxurious villa, the pool is the perfect detail to complete your design.[/p][p]This new feature allows more customization for outdoor spaces and adds a seasonal, decorative element to your houses.[/p][p]These are ornamental pools, not for swimming, but perfect for elevating the atmosphere of your outdoor spaces. And that’s not all:
We’ve also added a variety of decoration items specially designed for your pool areas![/p][p]From life buoys and sun loungers to umbrellas and more, you can now fully customize the look and feel of your poolside. Whether you're going for a relaxing retreat or a vibrant summer setup, the choice is yours.[/p][p]Just like balconies and porches, pools come in three sizes: small, medium, and large. Pick the one that best fits your plot!
💡 Tip: Don’t forget to leave space for your pool when designing your layout in the planner.[/p][p]Once you've made your choice, you’ll see exactly how much space it occupies, making it easier to plan ahead.
And of course, as with all ContractVille features, the Pool is fully customizable. Choose your favorite pattern, decide on a color, and build the pool that best matches your design vision.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Garage[/h2][p][/p][h3]🚗 Your Car Deserves a Home Too[/h3][p]Add a Garage next to your house and give your vehicles the space they deserve![/p][p]Just like the Pool, garages come in three sizes —small, medium, and large— so you can pick the one that best suits your plot.
💡 Make sure to plan ahead in the planner—your garage will need dedicated space next to your house.[/p][p]As always, the Garage is fully customizable. Choose the type and color that fits your build style. Whether you're going for a clean and modern look or something more rugged, it’s all up to you.[/p][p]And of course, we didn’t stop there—this update also brings a variety of garage-themed decoration items!
From shelves, ladders, and trash cans to tires, a lifting jack, air tank, fuel tank, and stools, there are plenty of ways to give your garage that authentic, lived-in feel.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]In addition to the Pool and Garage update, this patch also brings a meaningful improvement to NPC Workers.[/p][p][/p][h3]🧱 NPC Workers Now Think Ahead[/h3][p]Your feedback matters, and this one’s for all of you who’ve asked for smoother workflows![/p][p]From now on, NPC Workers no longer wait for a manual command to start the next job.
Once you hire an NPC Worker and assign them to build, they’ll automatically move on to the next task without needing additional input from you.[/p][p]We’ve listened to your requests and hope this change makes your building process more seamless and enjoyable.
Smarter workers, smoother builds![/p][p][/p][h3]🔧 And There’s More…[/h3][p]Alongside smarter task handling, we’ve made several additional improvements to NPC Workers:[/p]

• [p]Reduced NPC Worker Costs by 60%
  Hiring help is now more affordable than ever—making it easier to grow your team early on.[/p]

  We've added more understandable and context-appropriate audio cues—like grunt sounds—to help you catch issues more intuitively.[/p]
• [p]Door and Window Assembly
  Yes, they finally do it! NPC Workers can now install doors and windows during construction.[/p]
