We’re celebrating the autumn season with a brand new update!

With new autumn-themed outfits, Halloween costumes, and even a brand new hair dye mechanic - you’ll be ready to jump into fall with your coziest look 🍂

New Outfits
We’re adding tons of new fits for your Gardener, including a skeleton onesie for a cozy Halloween, new dungarees and fall themed sweaters, and even a brand new froggie pinafore. The update also comes with new hats and masks including the Pumpkin Head, Witch’s Hat, and Cat Mask.

New Decorative Items
Looking to decorate your Garden for Autumn? We’ve also got brand new furniture items for you! Including decorative gourds, new jack-o-lanterns, and even creepy toy spiders that will even scare Malakai.

Hair Dye Mechanic
Want a fresh look for the new season? Chat to Caoimhe next time they’re in town to create hair dye! Hair dyes are created with botanicals harvested from your Garden, so you can make unique colours to match whatever style you’re going for.

Patch Notes and Features

We’ve also been working hard on bug fixes and patches, and this update will also address the following:

Features

+ New sequence with Larto, introducing the player to tones.
+ Conkers with three or more wins can now be given a name.
+ Residents will now sometimes refer to the player by their name if they have been given one.

Tweaks

+ Control prompt when viewing stars will read 'Untrack' if the star is tracked.
+ Conkers no longer stack.

Fixes

+ Corrected Hay-scented fern and Scots Pine family names.
+ Fixed holly berries not planting seedlings.
+ Fixed a bug allowing popstick plants to grow without being fulfilled, leading to some project progress issues.

+ Fixed bug allowing non-harvestables to be swapped into the collection.
+ Fixed safe boxes sometimes returning nothing if all journal pages are found.
