Hey Flippers!
Hotfix #9.0 is now live, delivering a massive optimization pass for the Steam Workshop, giving you total control over your Before/After photo storage, adding fresh item variants, and resolving several prominent physics and mapping bugs.
🛠️ Steam Workshop & Memory Fixes
For those of you with massive custom item libraries, this update is a game-changer. We have completely overhauled how custom assets are managed:
No More Overload Crashes: Fixed the critical game crashes caused by loading an excessive number of Workshop items simultaneously.
Blazing Fast Load Times: Modded furniture and items will now load into your game significantly faster.
Upload Cap: To ensure long-term stability and performance across the community, the maximum file size for uploading new Workshop items is now capped at 3MB.
Menu Cleanup: Moved the Workshop configuration settings from the Gameplay tab over to General Settings for a more logical UI layout.
📸 Total Control Over Your Portfolio
High-resolution photos can eat up a lot of storage space, and not everyone wants to watch the full recap after every single project. We’ve added three highly requested Quality of Life toggles to the Before/After Photo System:
Toggleable ShowReel: You can now completely disable the cinematic ShowReel at the end of a job or house sale. Turning this off also stops the game from generating and saving unnecessary textures to your portfolio.
Resolution Settings: Added a dedicated option to manually select your preferred resolution for Before/After photos.
Storage Saver: Added an option to completely disable saving Before/After photos to your local portfolio, saving you precious hard drive space.

🔧 Bug Fixes & Adjustments
Placement System Precision: Fixed a physics bug where items could slightly overlap when placed side-by-side, which previously caused accidental gaps, alignment holes, and clipping issues between furniture pieces.
Family Residence Map: Fixed the faulty positioning of the garage door that caused it to incorrectly clip through the ceiling and bleed into the first-floor living space.
Jump Ropes: Fixed a bug where switching a jump rope to its hanging version made it impossible to change its visual variants afterward.
Carpet Rendering: Resolved a visual rendering glitch affecting specific carpet variants.
Cabinet Cataloging: Added missing item keys and catalog photos for the dark material versions of three specific cabinets.
Plushie Polish: Fixed a minor typo in one of the collectible plushie names.

Hotfix #9.5:
Tiling & Paneling: Fixed issues with tiling and paneling. Everything should now work correctly without glitches.
