Why patch notes matter for cozy players
Even a gentle shop sim can change how fast plants dry, which order traits appear, or whether pause layouts crash mid-assign. Demo 1.0.2 improved Reduced Watering and succulent starting moisture; retail 1.0.3 continues that comfort direction for crowded shelves and strengthens the comfort toggle again. If you practiced on older builds, revisit How to Water Plants and Reduced Watering.
Order-board changes matter just as much as droplets. Trailing-required orders waiting until reputation 4 keeps early boards readable—plan stock on Trailing Plants and How to Complete Orders before you hit that gate.
Cosmetic fixes (sofa clipping, floor patterns from demo 1.0.2) affect Shop presentation more than progression, but they still change screenshots tied to reputation.
