🧼 Cleaning
Dive into the upgraded charm of your Little Sim World experience with an all-new sophisticated cleaning system! 🧹 Watch as key furniture, from the cherished Stove to the relaxing Shower, ages gracefully, accumulating a gentle layer of grime with each use. But fret not, we've seamlessly integrated the solution we all… love? – A sparkling "Clean" interaction! With a simple click, your character can restore the sparkle to your surroundings in an instant.
Delve into the immersive tiers of filth, marked by a visual cue displayed after each interaction. With this latest update, we've not just elevated the aesthetic realism, but we've also sprinkled an engaging dimension to your daily routines! 🫧
🏆 Inspiration and Interest Rework
Say farewell to conventional inspiration points, and welcome a revamped system that transforms your characters' interests into a gateway of endless possibilities. As you progress through the levels of Inspiration, they no longer accrue mere points; instead, a unique facet of gameplay unlocks at each level, rewarding your dedication with tangible benefits. 🏆
The excitement doesn't stop there – upon reaching levels 5 and 10 in any interest, a selection of perks will trigger for you to choose from. These benefits, carefully designed for customization, offer substantial bonuses, empowering your character to excel in various aspects of their virtual lives. The Inspiration System and Interest Rework aren't just updates; they're keys to unlocking the full potential of your experience! 🎨✨

🛑✋HOLD UP! Because there are even more changes!
Agora em Português! 🇧🇷 ¡Y en español (LATAM)! 🇲🇽
Little Sim World is in its first iteration of including more than one language, and we decided to kick things off with the introduction of not one, but two new languages! We are aware that there are still some localization issues and wording that might have been lost in translation, so we will keep eagerly working on fixing those as soon as possible.
Quick Sell or Ship items
The red post box found around the city can now be used to sell items. We have placed more letterboxes and spread them around the city for your convenience.
- Use the “sell” interaction to sell items with the post box.
- You can use two separate sell options:Quick Sell: This will sell your item instantly for a lower price than the Pawn Stall is willing to offer.
72hs Shipping: This will sell your item for a larger price than the Pawn Stall is willing to offer, for the trade-off of waiting for 72hs for your Crowns to be deposited into your account.
Urgency Bubbles
There are now thought bubbles displayed over the character's head when the needs are low, to alert you and remind you to replenish them.
- At 20% of any need, a yellowish bubble pops up with the relevant icon to remind you to replenish the need.
- At 10% of any need, an extra red spikey bubble pops up to alert you that the need is dangerously low.
App Upgrades at Berry’s
You can now unlock new apps at Berry’s by visiting the app upgrade pedestal in the centre of the shop.
- App upgrades are unlocked by reaching some level of inspiration that unlocks them for purchase.
- Visit Berry’s during open hours and interact with the central counter to apply for an app upgrade.
- Once purchased, the app will be available for use in the top-left corner of the screen.
New Interactions and objects across the world
We have added many more items to the sidewalks of the city, such as:
- Post Boxes
- Ads
- Recycling Bins
- Dumpsters
We have also added many new interactions that you can find all around the city:
- Kick a vending machine, with the possibility of getting a free item…or breaking the machine!
- Make a wish at the fountain to get a wish fulfilled… maybe!
- Stretch at the gym to alleviate muscle soreness.
- Nap on the couch.
- Take a cold shower to recover a small portion of your energy, allowing you to go deeper into those late nights.
- …and many more!
Clothing sets on pedestals
Apart from the clothes on offer on pedestals, you can buy entire outfit sets now! Find these featured sets, in unique colorways, at Banana21.
Free Camera Zoom
We have added the free camera zoom back into the Settings so that you’ll now be able to choose between fixed levels of zoom and free camera zoom. Visit the Game & Interface options and simply choose the option that fits your playstyle the best. Fixed Camera Zoom is selected by default.
Changes
More Lessons and changed look
Even more lessons have been added to the lessons app. Find the app in-game to see the brand-new tutorials. Likewise, the pop-up has changed slightly to allow for a better user experience. New lessons include:

The weather and HUD have received a big update offering both visual and gameplay implications:

- Each season has a different overlay colour to accentuate the vibe of that season.

Passing Out Changes
When passing out from low health, we have incorporated some new changes to provide a better user experience:
- After the screen fades to black, the birb icon displays to show that the character is respawning.
- Ambulance sirens can be heard during the black screen.
- Once respawned, the character will be placed back in front of their house with all needs refilled to 50%. Needs above 50% before passing out are left as-is.
