CUCKOLD SIMULATOR's long awaited 0.4.0 update is finally here. The more astute among you might notice that 0.3.0 has been skipped - that is intentional since this is by far the largest update to date. You should delete your old save data and start from the beginning, both to avoid bugs since a lot of things were changed, but also see some of the new content.

Major New Content

• Tyrone's Blicky has been added, along with a special event on Night 7. You'll want to restart your game to experience this one…
• Next phase of the Main Story has been added, along with two new areas.
• Wayne has moved into the neighborhood. Go have a neighborly chat with him.
• Inventory System has been added (see below for more info).
• Anime Girl Genocide Chapter 2 has been added. This should be very exciting for all three of you who care about this subgame.
• 9 new achievements added: Genocide But Faster, My Masterpiece, The Heist, Makin' Bacon, Pig Roast, Making a Mess, Betrayal, Paid in Full, System Error.

Inventory System

New inventory system has been added. Press B to open it. Cuckold many now collect many cool items in the world, including wearable cosmetics, such as the following:

• COVID Mask: DLC item.
• Top Hat: Located in a most fitting place.
• SNEED Hat: Two methods to get this - both require out-of-game file editing.
• Genocider's Halo: Complete Cuck Souls.
• Genocider's Wings: Complete Cuck Souls without taking any damage.

Not-So-Major New Features

• One new Funky Pop added (total of 9 now).
• Toggle option added for mouse y-axis input.
• Cuckold now wears actual glasses instead of sunglasses (might revert this)
• A new product has launched in ChinaTown and is available in select vending machines. How exciting! Time to consume!
• ATMs have been added in various parts of the world.
• An awful world map has been added. Press M to open it.
• New cinematic intro for GloboCorp the first time you go to work.
• Stats System has been added, but it doesn't do anything at the moment.
• Since the lot of you have apparently never received a piece of mail in your life, the mailbox will now glow when you have mail. Hopefully this will stop you from continually asking me "how do I check my email".

Performance

• Engine finally updated to 2019.4 LTS. Expect bugs. Report them.
• General performance improvement across the board, particularly for lower end devices.
• New video option "Fast Rendering Mode" is added and enabled by default. Gives about a 30%+ performance boost on it's own, for most setups. Play around with it and see.
• New video option "Toggle Post Processing Effects" is added and enabled by default. You can disable this for a massive performance boost, but the game will look even worse than it already does. Worth disabling if your framerate sucks, otherwise, leave it enabled.

Save System

Steam Cloud is now fully supported and enabled. Also, the save system has been slightly overhauled, now it is split into multiple elements.

• SaveFile2.es3 - The bulk of the savefile that contains almost everything.
• /saved-inventories/ - New directory that holds the inventories of various entities.
• /permaflags/ - New permanent directory that contains accomplishments that will carry over between saves.

Clearing the save file is now defined as deleting SaveFile2.es3 and /saved-inventories/

Bug Fixes/Miscellaneous

• Some fonts have been replaced with better looking fonts.
• Laptop web browser look has been improved.
• Federal Agents now appropriately glow.
• VSync should no longer enable itself on it's own.
• Sliding on Cuckold's Car is no longer possible (RIP).
• Various rendering issues involving culled backfaces resolved.
• Video options menu overhauled, all broken options removed.
• Despite overwhelming light pollution from neighboring cities, you can see the stars and moon at night now.
• Improved cityscape backdrop for Boss' Office.
• Performance issues in Police Station resolved.
• Wife has gotten a new ankle tattoo.
• Achievement icons mostly updated.
• The Steam launch option "Configuration Menu (advanced)" has been removed.

Known Issues

• Certain objects may show up as pink intermittently, please submit a bug report if you see any.
• Lighting in all areas gets weird after going to Police Station.
