New feature: Recognition Awards
Themed issues build your recognition in the media industry and can lead to "Recognition Awards". These are earned through cumulative work, so the more themed issues you publish, the greater the chance of winning one of these.
Revisited Historic Events
These are being revamped and rewritten. The first 2 years of the game are being done first, and these are already added in this patch (1998-1999). Historic events are non-random events, based on actual things that happened on that date. Some will ask you to take a stand or make a decision, others have a general effect. A historic event is triggered at least every other in-game month.
Angry Letter Forgiveness has been tweaked, so it is slightly easier to raise the limit beyond chapter 2.
Crash fix: "Your mom called" event had a typo in it.
Crash fix: Burglary event.
Should work with existing save games.
