Hello to all of you, Simulator lovers! We're coming right at you with a brand-new patch!

We hope you're all doing well and enjoying the latest updates we've been sharing about our game. We wanted to take a moment to address some changes that have been made to the game's development plans since our last announcement.

As you may recall, in our previous announcement post, we shared some features that we were planning to include in the game. However, after further consideration and review, we have decided that these features will not be included in this patch, and will be moved to the next one.

While we won't be including the previously announced features in the game, we are excited to share that there are some new updates and features that we'll be unveiling below.

We appreciate your ongoing support and understanding as we continue to develop the game. As always, we welcome your feedback and thoughts on the changes we've shared today.

So let's roll in the changes!

Collectables

Roam around London to discover and gather new collectables! At the moment, we're including one kind of collectable to test out this system, coins! To pick them up, just interact with the coin and after a certain time you'll get a “Dirty Coin” item.
Clean them up by using a Brush! These are obtainable at D&Y.
Find some rare (And ULTRA RARE) coins throughout the world and do… some stuff with them 😉 (The next feature on this list will get into detail with this).

The Museum

After lots of building and architectural work, a new building has now been added to our beloved city, the museum. Its located above D&Y, north-east of your home!
Here, your character will be able to deliver their collectables and earn some rewards by doing so (Disabled at the moment, rewards will step in once Inspiration is in as well). The rarer the collectables, the bigger the rewards!
To deliver your coins, interact with the Curator NPC that's by the building's counter.

The Pawn Stall

What do I do with the things I don't need anymore? Here's the solution!
With the Pawn Stall, that's positioned between the grocery store and the coffee shop, you'll be able to sell all the things you don't need anymore (with the exception of food and drinks).
And, considering we now have collectables in-game, you'll also be able to sell your extra ones.
All the items your sell here will give you 25% of their value.

Interactable Bubbles

We've added a new feature to our bubble feedback system, now you can interact with some special bubbles and increase your experience earned while levelling up interests.
Yellow bubbles are the way to go! (The attached image includes some iterations on other bubble colours, we wanted to share this because it looks cute hehe~)

And that's about it! We're aiming to have everything that we shared with you all in the previous announcement ready for the next patch.

We hope that you enjoy the latest update and that it helps to make your experience with the game even more enjoyable. As we move forward, we want to express our sincere appreciation for all of the feedback and support you've provided us for all this time we've been working on Little Sim World. Thank you again for being a part of this incredible adventure with us.
As always, enjoy our patch notes!
