NEW CONTENT AND IMPROVEMENTS:

– Flex your creativity and compete in weekly, community-wide photo challenges with DreamSnaps! Each week, earn a variety of prizes for participating, including Moonstones, furniture, and clothing items!

*** Please note: Touch of Magic Clothing and Furniture are not compatible with DreamSnaps and cannot be included in submissions in order to keep the feature a fun environment for all players.

– General stability has been improved on Nintendo Switch. We continue to explore further means of optimization for future updates.
