InDev access to the furniture update is now available. Furniture will be released into the InDev through batches. This means that THE FURNITURE UPDATE IS NOT CONTENT COMPLETE AT THIS TIME. This is to ensure we test as much as possible. During these batches we will also be looking to add in new tenants, though some of these may need to be held back until the Free Build update has commenced, as the property may not contain enough space to host the furniture requirements for them.
As always, thanks for your patience with this. It’s been a content heavy update - which I think is reflected in the game files now being a chonky 1gb (up from 300mb previously). Remember, this is by no means the finished product, this is just early access to the update which continues to be worked upon.
How do I get involved?
Glad to have you involved. Follow these steps to access the In-Dev Beta Branch:
- Right Click on your Landlord's Super install in Steam and select "properties"
- Click the Betas tab and then select InDev Indevelopment access
- The InDev build should start to download on steam!
Please do keep in mind that the In-Dev branch is going to be very unstable and buggy. But also remember to report these issue to me over on the steam forums.
While every effort has been made to test old save data, the update is significant and It is therefore advisable to create a backup of your save data before trying the new build.
Thanks,
Greg
