New Game

When you start a new game via the "New Game" Button on the Home Screen you get to decide between two modes with varying difficulty:

Landlord & Creative.

You can also censor pests (Roaches) and drugs if you are not fond of these things or have a phobia.

Game Modes
Landlord: Default game mode which can be a challenge sometimes. Requires more micro-management and a tad more of a grind to make money in the game. Creative: A more relaxed game mode with less money grinding and micro-management. Specific changes are mentioned below.

Time pauses in renovation mode
While renovating an apartment, either for a job, or one of your own properties, the time will be stopped. This way you can’t accidentally miss lease negotiations (see “Rent”), or solving problems for your Tenants (see “Tenant Requests”), or for example miss an Elite Contract that pops up while you are renovating. It also cancels the “have to be done in X days” requirement on a job, but only as long as you are renovating! When you leave the renovation mode the requirement will be effective again. (see “Jobs”)

Increased job payments
After finishing a job you get paid. In creative mode you get more money for a job well done. (see “Jobs”)

Increased experience gain
While playing you gain experience through several actions. In creative mode you get more experience for the things you do, (see “Level-Ups”)

Reduced number of random events
In the daily life of a Landlord several random events can occur. Usually accidents like broken equipment, radiator, or fuse, but also things like earthquakes or a pest infestation  (see “Tenant Requests”). Sometimes you’ll also get the occasional call of the building manager (see “Building Manager”). All these things will interrupt the usual day-to-day workflow and can become a challenge. In creative mode these occurrences are reduced.

Censor pests and drugs
In the Tenants you will see roaches infesting a property and also have Tenants who are addicted to alcohol and behave accordingly. There’s also some items connected to drugs and a renovation job that requires you to renovate a property with a drug spot. If you do not want to see these things you can censor them with these two options.

Important: You can change the pest- and drug visibility afterwards in the game. But you cannot change between the game modes!
