Big Ambitions Preview Build 3178 Adds Swimming and Fixes Freezes
The latest Big Ambitions preview build activates swimming and calisthenics at Sunset Park while resolving game-freezing bugs and delivery errors.
Big Ambitions preview build 3178 opens up new activities at Sunset Park and addresses multiple stability issues that caused game locks during interior design and closing sequences.
New Sunset Park Activities
Swimming and calisthenics are active at Sunset Park. Players can locate the pool entrance to swim or use the calisthenics machines for workouts.
Stability and Progression Fixes
The update resolves game lockups that occurred when closing the game after offline play or custom games, as well as freezes triggered by opening the Interior Designer mode while exiting a building. It also fixes the Get a job tutorial objective failing to complete if players secured employment before the quest began.
Delivery and Business Adjustments
Delivery Job mechanics see several corrections, including a changed default summary position, the removal of For Sale versions as items, and fixed hover outlines for vans. Contact information for businesses that relocated to Industry City has been updated to restore functions at locations like the Factory Supply Depot. Factory machine prices are adjusted, and purchasing agents and BizMan deliveries can now be closed again.
Map, Layout, and Visual Fixes
Access issues to 16th and 17th on 10th Avenue are resolved, and the Moving Service works on new buildings. The patch addresses the 15th and 9th Avenue window flickering, fixes Ika Bohag layout issues, corrects building positions in VoogleMaps, and stops shirt clipping when energy and hunger hit zero.
Why this patch matters
Build 3178 solves progression blockers and freezing errors while expanding recreational options in Sunset Park.
