Available Now vs Planned Later
Here is the practical split between what you can treat as playable now and what still belongs in the planned-later bucket.
| Topic | Available now | Planned later | How to read it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Release status | Early Access started on May 25, 2026. | The finished 1.0 release does not have an exact official date here. | Do not treat Early Access as the final release. |
| Live Mode basics | The official Development page lists current examples such as open-world town play, career progression, skills, needs, having children, bills, and modding tools. | More content is planned during Early Access. | Use the current list as examples, not a complete permanent database. |
| Future feature examples | Do not treat pets, cars, seasons, swimming, gardening, fishing, or town creation as current just because they appear in plans. | Official planned examples include weather and seasons, family tree, dogs, cats, horses, cars, bikes, boats, houseboats, swimming, gardening, fishing, and town creation tools. | Treat these as planned until official updates list them as playable now. |
| Which roadmap info is current? | Use the current Development page for now-vs-planned status. | Older roadmap pages and older media dates can still appear in searches. | Do not copy old roadmap wording without checking current status. |
