Small Improvements

• No Injuries and No Unhappiness options in sandbox mode. These will be toggleable at any time, including for current games.
• Options to change whether indie superstars are generated and new companies are formed in-game.
• During drafts, highlight partners and mention them in superstar info.
• Allow cash ins on Lower Midcard or above titles.
• Option to send all signings to the main roster during buyouts.
• Run segments that require specific title prestige like Option C with a higher prestige title as well.
• Change AI to not book 'he' pronoun superstars for generally female championships.
• AI will vacate generally female championships if held by a superstar with 'he' pronoun while simulating.
• Tweak AI to have longer feuds, not repeat matches as much, book vacant titles right away, vacate titles right away if champion is unavailable, reduce frequency of pole matches, lower frequency of creating and disbanding teams and increase frequency of signing superstars, don't book you're fired segments.
• Sandbox/local multiplayer/story saves and Ratings War won't be removed when a free trial ends but will be made unavailable. This way, after upgrading, you can still access your saves.

Balancing

• Add popularity decay if active main eventers are not used at a monthly event. The decay depends on their popularity, with a higher decay for faces of the company.
• Morale change will be reduced for match win/loss and feuds started if all talent are faces of the company. This will prevent high morale changes in situations like a 1500 popularity FotC beating a 2000 popularity FotC.
• Adjust popularity changes for faces of the company in segments to be logarithmic, like they are for matches.
• Slightly reduce chances of hot matches and segments.
• Slightly reduce popularity changes for segments.
• Slightly increase popularity decrease for match losses.
• Improve trade AI so offers for unavailable and retired talent have a lower chance to be accepted.

Bug Fixes

• Fix bug where 'option c' segment wouldn't work if you ran it on a monthly event.
• Fix a bug where if a battle royal was auto booked, the participants were made unavailable for booking upon deleting it / auto booking again.
• Fix bug where multiple match feuds wouldn't show in event history.
