Skybridges. You can now place a skybridge that connects two towers. Skybridge tiles can contain decorations and furniture, and carry utilities, but cannot be leased to tenants.
Cantilevered floor. You can place a floor that extends up to four tiles beyond existing floor immediately below.
Improvements
When placing utilities, hold down SHIFT to auto-fill an entire empty floor (the floor needs to have an existing closet, already hooked up to the rest of the network)
Bug fixes
"New Game" dialog now remembers the last-chosen sandbox difficulty level and lot size
Fixed the custodial room showing a "services full" or "unhappy" notifs
Fixed a bug where removing a storage room assigned to a retail store did not reduce the store's happiness.
Fixed a bug with small plaza tiles not showing up after placement

Vending machines are small additions that will help make your residents happy. It gives them a place to take a quick break and escape from their desks for a few minutes. If there is a vending machine on the same floor, chances are that at break time, you’ll see some office workers head over to grab a snack.
Pay phones provide a place for office and apartment dwellers to converse privately in public. Look for them to head there when they need a break to phone home or to make a call away from prying eyes. Since privacy requires some soundproofing, these will also cut the spread of noises a bit as well. Like vending machines, residents will only go to pay phones located on the floor where they live or work.
Shoe shine stations help residents keep their fancy footwear in top form. They’ll visit them during break-time or free time if they are located on the same floor as their office or apartment.
Common areas are relaxing oases from the rigors of urban life. Residents will seek them out during off hours for a few calm moments. They also slightly reduce the spread of noises and smells.
Custodial supply rooms and broom closets help reduce wear and tear and cut down grime. As your building grows, you’ll be able to unlock a supply room that will allow you to place up to three broom closets. If a broom closet is built, grime will accumulate much more slowly for tenants on the same floor as the broom closet. Gaining more prestige will grant you access to more supply rooms and allow placement of more broom closets. Since you are only able to build a few of these, make sure that you place them on high-traffic floors or areas that quickly accumulate grime!
