Valentine's Day Holiday Pack Pre-Patch!

Valentine's Day Holiday Pack Pre-Patch for release at 1PM today 2/14/2024. Plus some fixes:
• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused guests to show up to the party without appropriate attire.
• Added reminder text in the customizer to create or select a preset when the Default preset is selected.
• Only one Holiday Pack can be active at a time now. This only affects decorations and story content. All Holiday Pack clothing items will always be available in the customizer as long as the DLC is installed.
• Improved main menu lighting and shadows.
• GBK undershirt is now available for Derek in the customizer if you have the Solar Flare achievement.
• Optimized story and texture memory usage, which in most cases will result in less memory usage, especially on Potato graphics settings. In some cases memory usage is decreased by 1GB+.
• Improved loading of characters on the main menu. They now only appear after clothing and textures have been applied.
• Fixed a couple of issues that would sometimes cause swapping customizer group presets to not work correctly.

2023.12.s.4 "SARCODES"

• Steam Deck support! A nice excuse to add a QoL/accessibility feature here and there.

• Added a Font Size setting. May lead to stranger looks on higher ends.

• MODDING: 'Sort' property for Elements, a string, the format is 'group.order' - ex. 'a1.z1'. Controls the order of Aspects appearance in card and situation info.
