Out of curiosity, what is it supposed to say in the laucnher where it says "Version"

Mine says: 18.0.126.021001, is this the up-to date version?

Curious. It says I'm only at 1.5, yet I have it set to automatically update  ???

It's not popping for everyone.  Hit the refresh button or wait for it to come to you.  My sister got it automatically but I had to refresh and we're in the same house on two computers in the same room.

I was excited until I didn't notice anything about fixing the combined rabbithole issues. Poo. Better luck next time?

Though I'm really happy that I can actually leave my computer alone while opening my files because things will stay paused. (And fixing the skilling bug and stuck bills too)

They said that they fixed the pausing issue before and it didn't happen.  Can anyone confirm that yet?

I hope that pausing issue is actually fixed, but I'm prepared for it not to be fixed. Anyway, what I hope is that the rapid skill gain is gone. Does anyone know if it's gone in games that were previously affected? Fingers crossed for yes.

EDIT: Any idea how the buying another house works? Can you move people from the active household there? That should be fascinating!

I'm in the middle of downloading but I don't remember which ones of my files have the skill gain.  I may try to get the skill gain and see if it works.

We won't have any ideas on how stuff works until more people get access to the patch unfortunately.

My understanding is you have an active household and you can just choose to have buy mode on both lots.. not one or the other.

Hmm. I'm a bit confused by that. Guess I'll have to see in-game.

You don't live on one home or the other.  You live in a town and they can interact with both lots like they are your home.  You don't lose access to a second one.  You just gain buy mode for a second one.

Edit: My download finally started so I'll know more really soon as Artie gets him several lots of his own.
