Carnaval Simulator – Update 2.6.0
A Fresh Start for New Players
Update 2.6.0 focuses heavily on improving the new player experience. The tutorial has been completely revamped, and Career Mode has been restructured with three brand-new introductory levels replacing the old ones. These new levels gradually introduce core mechanics and act as extended tutorials.
Because of these major Career Mode changes, progression has been reset for all players.
Floral Floats Arrive!
One of the biggest additions in this update is the introduction of Floral Floats. At the start of every new save, players can now choose between traditional carnival floats and floral floats.
Floral floats introduce several unique mechanics:
Hamlet bots and result calculations
Flower materials
Tractorless float support
Hide your cart entirely
A new internal Flower style has also been added to support this content.
New Props and Themes
Ten new props have been added:
SWAT Helmet
SWAT Body
Police Baton
Four new Shields
One new Shape object
Beret
Rubber Duck
In addition, two new internal themes have been introduced:
Medieval
City
Controls Overhaul
The entire input system has been rewritten. Controls now properly support physical keyboard layouts, allowing players using AZERTY, QWERTZ and other keyboard configurations to play without issues.
Interface & Gameplay Improvements
Many user interface elements have received visual updates and improvements. Other changes include:
Star ratings have been removed from levels.
Weight warnings can now become bold red in specific situations.
