October 14: Build 443

Use the Build 443 reference for the named new items and unlock rules. Start with the task guides when you need the changed controls:

Existing dresses can look or score differently

Small components have more influence on colour and material requirements. Trim tilt and placement fixes can alter older borders. Preserve the old build and screenshots when comparing a result.

Earlier: Build 410

Build 410 introduced clearer clickable component names, inventory panel-location hints and thread-colour selection at the sewing spools. It also fixed a tutorial softlock. These remain historical changes, not the latest update. See the preserved Build 410 entry.

Reading a tutorial recorded before October

The sewing and accessory walkthroughs cite inspected sections of a September 25 video. Use their timestamped demonstrations alongside the newer control notes; do not assume an older camera gesture still applies.
