FAQ
Short answers for features that often drive buy-or-wait decisions.
This tracker treats Build mode and ParaMaker as live core systems, while Vibes and Story Cards are tracked as live or expanding systems based on current guide coverage.
Weather and seasons, pools, career depth, school episodes, farming, town editing, and transport questions are all worth watching, but not all have the same confidence level.
Multiplayer is handled as a low-confidence FAQ watch item here. It should not be presented as a promised roadmap feature unless official sources change.
