4) The City Economic Simulation DLC will provide you with the options to modify the capacity of apartment and commercial buildings.
Apartment Capacity Modifier
Use this slider to modify the capacity of all apartments. 100 is the standard value. Lowering it will decrease the number of people each apartment houses. This means that more apartments need to be built and the real estate business will be more profitable.
Commercial Capacity Modifier
Use this slider to modify the capacity of all commercial buildings. 100 is the standard value. Lowering it will decrease the amount of office space each commercial building provides. This means that more commercial buildings need to be built and the real estate business will be more profitable.
Support scripting for Apartment and commercial building capacity modifiers:
[ENVIRONMENT]
Apartment Capacity Modifier=<10-200>
Commercial Building Capacity Modifier=<10-200>
5) Improved terrain texture for the most close-up zoom mode.
6) Enhanced Firm Info mode (see the attached screenshot)

12) When you offered a new job position to an executive who is already working in your company, it will be considered as an internal transfer and there will be no negative consequences.
13) Minor improvements:
a) For the player’s own salary as a CEO, in the previous versions, the salary will decrease automatically if the player company’s profit plunged and the salary will stay at the lower level forever until the player manually sets the salary again. In this latest version, the game will keep the previous salary manually set by the player and restore it to that value when the company’s profit rebounds.
b) When the WASD mode for scrolling the city view is enabled. The hotkey for opening the corporate detail report is changed to Ctrl-D from the single key 'D'. And the hotkey for opening the save game menu is changed to ALT-S from the single key 'S'.
c) Updated the background of the corporate income statement and balance sheet.
14) Bug fix:
>removed Network Tech from the tech research list as it is not used by any software products.
>the semi product DVD is excluded when Digital Age DLC is not enabled.
