Today's update is a bit of a big, mixed bag. Lots of fixes this time, and lots of tweaks and new content. The although it might seem like the smallest part, the new facial feminisation surgery option look the longest to implement. All those tweaks to outfits and the wardrobe only took a day or so.
Surgery
The new surgical option is primarily aimed at transwomen characters, and is part of the ongoing push to add more and more options for body modification (and not only for trans). This option also works for non-trans characters, to make your features more feminine, if you wish. And, as ever, I continue to work on all the NPC content around these options. That's the hard part.
Supply
Also time consuming was working on all the mechanical tweaks around bundling and drug sales in Working the streets. This follows on from the previous update around the value of bundled goods, and allows much more flexibility in your sales. The Supply & demand requirements are now being systemised across all types of products and sales values, which gives a more consistent experience (before they were more or less arbitrary).
As you might have guessed, this is a prelude to a major overhaul of Working the streets, which will include many mechanical changes, new options, new opportunities to buy and sell and other bits and pieces, on top of the work to make everything consistent across the board. This is necessary for two things: the new mission content that's in the works, and putting Working the streets systems into the Projects and the Airport (it all needs to be working properly in the slums before replicating it elsewhere).
