Please Read if You've Been Experiencing Game Breaking Bugs


Hey, everyone.

I'm starting to work on 1.1 and I really want to iron out some of these larger bugs that people are having. But I can't do that without more information from you. If you've been experiencing any bugs that majorly hurt the gameplay experience (crashes, characters not loading, characters not eating, etc.), could you please answer the following questions for me?

1. What is your game-breaking bug?

2. What were you doing before the bug happened? Be as detailed as you can.

3. How long were you playing before the bug happened?

4. Was any spam-clicking or bloating involved? If so, which one?

5. Submit an image/video of your bug, if possible.

6. Submit your computer specs, if possible.

7. Any other info you think might be relevant.

UI scaling seems to break in anything but 16:9 ratio. It isn’t completely unplayable but it’s very difficult to play in anything else.

I’ve got some Unity experience so I know it’s relatively easy to fix so long as you know what you’re doing so I’ll just show you what 21:9 ratio looks like trying to play this game.

The main things that happen to me is at the start of the game with a pre-loaded character. The clothes tend to be missing or clipped extremely but if I go out to main menu and come back in it usually loads fine the second time. Also, trying to export/import a character when you try to make a new one that may be similar…the changes don’t save for me so when I go to play with the semi-new character…it’s like it didn’t change anything? I am only playing with the character I made previously, not this newer version. 

The last thing is when I want to quit to desktop. It freezes 50% of the time.


I have a M18 Alienware R1, processes the game at a great speed. All these little bugs are definitely fixable, I have patience. Overall, I have enjoyed this new version thoroughly.

Look forward to seeing future improvements! 

I can't even play the game past character creation. It simply won't register me clicking "Finish". It's the same when I try to exit to restart.

Does the settings button work in the main menu?

If so, click that, go to options, then click "Open Save Data Location". Then open "characterIDs.es3" in Notepad. Are there any words? Or is it blank?

There are words in it, but even on the new release it simply refuses to let me finish my character. When I try to leave, the same thing with the Exit button. I desperately want to play it, but for whatever reason it is simply broken for me. I tried deleting past character attempts, changing the display, and messing with the graphics. Everything I could think of, but nothing has worked.


Edit: After re-downloading, turns out spam clicking works, somewhat.

1. I can't select anything in the character creator past skin colour, so no face or clothes.

2. Just adjusting the character's traits.

3. Maybe 5 minutes

4. Spam-clicked the options after nothing happened

6. Windows 10, Geforce RTX 4070 12G, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, 16 GB RAM

7. Tried several chars, also tried deleting and reinstalling

By any chance, did you get any errors or warnings when extracting the .zip file?

I don't think so

scrib did you delete the link for the 0.5.2 build?

It might be the same bug as the 2a one mentioned by @StylishSuidae, but it’s quite severe since it causes the game to hang (needs to be manually killed):

  1. Entering using the keyboard, at Greta’s Grocery, an amount of items whose total value exceeds the currently available amount of happiness points causes the game to irrevocably hang.
  2. Just open Greta’s Grocery, select any item and type into the item amount field. Note the bug is not reproducible using mouse interaction since the + button will be disabled when the maximum amount of the food currently affordable has been reached.
  3. Happens fully reproducibly after any amount of playtime. Workaround is to avoid that field entirely and use only mouse interaction.
  4. No.
  5. (Will do if explicitly requested.)
  6. AMD Laptop iGPU/dGPU from around 2016 (GCN 1.0) using Linux amdgpu/MESA open-source drivers, game is running under WINE

1) I had multiple crashes to desktop, one I was able to repeat

2a) the first one, I was trying to type in a number of chocolate chip cookies to make, I was able to enter 99 fine, but when I hit 9 a third time to try to craft 999, the game crashed. This happened twice.
2b) the second one, I was just feeding really fast with the space button and the game just crashed


3a) I don't know, maybe an hour before the first crash? Only maybe a minute or so before the repeat
3b) a few minutes

4a) No

4b) Yes, I was using the space bar to spam feeding the chocolate chip cookies from a)

5) Not possible

6) CPU Ryzen 7 7700x

GPU RTX 3070 EVGA

RAM: 32 GB DDR5 5000Mhz Corsair

Install drive: Samsung 980 PRO 2TB SSD

7) I have it installed as a non-steam game, and when the game crashed from feeding, it also crashed my steam client.

Oh also, the shops haven't updated in like 3 days in my game. I'm on day 13 or 14 I think.

After a certain size the apartment disappears and the character walks around, also they are like flabby disks.

miss the old backstreet dealer with random packagesmaybe add a 1 time refresh for the normal food store

1. My computer screen went completely blank, though the background music was still playing, and I had to restart the computer to use it again.

2. Clicking the serve button very fast while using high calorie/low stomach value food (like chips or the mints). I'm pretty sure I had an amount of Savor It badges as well. This was still in the Apartment.

3. A couple of hours

4. Spam clicking

5.

6. Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz   2.70 GHz; 8 GB of RAM; Windows 10 Home Version 22H2

7. Maybe I made too many particle effects happen? Also this has only happened once, I was clicking REALLY fast

Bug I noticed is the arms when getting to a certain size. They sort of just detach from the citizens body and just clip through their face, as seen above. also, the body shape 2 section of the citizen maker doesn't seem to work. Not sure if that is cause it hasn't been implemented yet or not.

The badges that I give to my citizen sometimes multiplies. Usually happens when I come back to the game tomorrow after a few hours of playing and leveling up (I play this game for a long time on real life mode since I enjoy the slow pace of the gain :p). For some certain badges like the 'I'll take seconds' badge, this bug breaks the game cuz once it multiplied to 14 (or a number higher than 10. Can't remember sry) which caused the stomach capacity to go into negative and resulted in my citizen to be able to consume infinite amounts food and not be stuffed.
Also, this makes the 'BP available' points to go into negative for some reason.
As for the spam-clicking, I do sometimes spam on the belly to make some space for more food, but I don't know if that matters in this case.
Forgot to take a screenshot, my bad. I'll be sure to take pictures next time it happens again.

For me I doubt it's a bug but I'm a tad unsure, but when I try to unzip the game there are a few assets that for some reason prevent the full unzipping, the only asset I remember not working is earrings of some sort and about 2 others before is stopped the unzip

Did you try using 7Zip to extract it?

nope,  not sure if you can do that with a zip file, but i will try

ok that works, Thanks!

Mainly just clothing clipping and food not appearing in my inventory for a while

(1) maybe it's not so much a bug as a curiosity that if you enter the store at 12pm before the change to 12am, the grocery store will not be reset and will still have the same goods as before.

(2) my character is bigger than the room, weird but true.


I still think it's a very good game and don't rush to update it so you can take it easy and make everything work as you want :)

When character becomes the size that should be immobile she is still able to "walk around", which becomes her turning the larger she gets. when in the orbital stage, her body will freak out and twitch all over the place. (though this could be an issue with editing the character document, I was doing a lot of this when it happened. I also like that the document is editable btw)

I have the same problem and don't you think he increased the maximum weight limit per level because my character ate 999 megabratwurst and 65 gingerbread houses and didn't grow much from his original size? (city level)
