Enhanced lighting and shadow quality
Phone contact management improvements for easier relationship tracking
UI layout presets let players save their preferred interface arrangement
Multitasking while walking reduces time wasted on routine activities
Improved graphics on lower settings makes the game more accessible to budget hardware
