- Patch #1 Animals, Props, and Relationships🐄🐷🐈 - 15 November 2025
Patch #1 Animals, Props, and Relationships In our first content update, we wanted to give some love to the animals, props, and relationships. Animals will now arrive in your town sporting various colors, some common, some rare. They will also have different sizes depending on their age, so prepare to see some kittens roaming around. A highly requested feature is prop stacking, which you can now do! Now go make some weird stuff and show it off in the Discord. We love to see it. Villagers will now also have more relationship status labels besides romantic ones, such as friend, best friend, enemy, rival, and acquaintance. This all depends on the level of the relationship they are. We hope you enjoy this update!
