Beta Update v0.5.2 Release Notes
We are excited to be releasing another game update this morning with various bug fixes and new functionality!
Terrain Paint is here!
You read that right - you can now use terrain paint when you are building your lots! We have 12 different terrains available at launch for you to choose from. And the best part? They're completely free.
When you select the terrain, you'll see the new brush tools which allow you to change the size and opacity of the terrain paint tool. If you don't like something, you can comd CTRL/CMD and remove the terrain paint or press the reset button.
We're excited to see how this enhances your lots!

Cooking Skill: Feel Fuller When You Cook!
Your cooking skill will now boost your hunger when you cook a meal! The higher the cooking skill, the higher the boost. This means you will be able to restore more hunger with a higher skill.
Not only that, when serving group meals, other players will be able to take advantage of your cooking skill and feel the boost to their hunger too.
Bug Fixes
- Skills will now decay over time again
- Gardening skill will not boost the skilling speed for Engineering, and vice versa
- Female personas will now hold cooked food correctly - no more floating plates!
- Spawned objects, such as pizzas, will no longer occupy a surface once they've been eaten/disposed
- Friend requests and trade requests no longer sit in the action queue and will initiate immediately, regardless of what other action you are doing
- Other players on non-visible floors should no longer skip animations
- Personas will no longer teleport back to the starting point when grabbing a snack
- Personas will not vanish as early when going up to upper floors on multi-story lots
- Door sound will no longer loop on multi-story lots
