Things have been rather quiet around Winter Resort Simulator 2 over the past few months – maybe even a bit too quiet. Many of you have been wondering whether anything was still happening with the game. That’s exactly why we’re here now – to give you an update!

The main reason for the recent silence was the release of SubwaySim 2. Finishing such a large project took a lot out of our team. So we’re even more excited to now return to Winter Resort Simulator 2 with full energy after this intense period.

While we can’t reveal too much about the future of the game just yet, we’re here to deliver something that’s been a long time coming: the official release of Update 16!

At last, the time has come: Update 16 is leaving beta and is now available for all players. Alongside various bug fixes, the update also includes several handy quality-of-life improvements – especially for our modding community.

➡️ Highlights

• Riedkopfbahn now automatically couples/garages when both sections are open and the same spacing is set.
  
• Riedkopfbahn now starts correctly when both sections are coupled.
  
• Ski huts operate independently of the time of day.
  
• Skiers now only despawn shortly before the area closes – meaning evening skiing is finally possible.

• A button to prepare all pistes at once.
  
• Simuverse rebranding.

• Bug fix for SnowGroomer MP synchronisation.

➡️ Modding

• New API function: EntryLaneWaypoint.isNPCApproaching(),
  
• New API function: ModListener.onObjectDeselected,
  
• New map option: skiResort.skierUseTerrainOnly for DonChris Ski Hall,
