Summary
This Open Beta update for Schedule I focuses on expanding the NPC ecosystem and modernizing the character customization backend. Players can now encounter four distinct special customer groups—Hippies, the Party Bus crew, Businessmen, and Bikers—each featuring unique named NPCs and new environmental behaviors like dancing, using laptops, or revving motorcycles.
Technically, the update completely replaces the legacy avatar system with a new 'AvatarObject' framework to support future user-created content. Additionally, the Hyland Medical interior is now fully accessible and purchasable, while several businesses have received significant buffs to their money laundering capacities. Performance has also been addressed through optimized NPC ragdoll physics and a refactored icon generation system that significantly reduces memory usage in late-game saves.
