IMPROVEMENTS 

COMPANION FRIENDSHIP: Gather your furry, scaly, and feathered pals – friendship levels are here! Spend time and interact with your companions to level them up and get rewards. Bring companions along to collect bonus resources – each kind of companion will pick-up a specific type of resource: 

• Squirrels will help with Fruits
• Rabbits will help with Vegetables
• Turtles will help with Seafood
• Sunbirds will help with Flowers
• Foxes and Crocodiles will help with Fish
• Raccoons and Whimsical Creatures will help with Gems

Some companions, especially notable named Disney companions, may not fit conventional categories and may bring special reward once you reach max friendship. But that’s not all! Depending on their level of friendship, companions can help expand your player inventory and provide extra resources when equipped to your Avatar. As a cherry on top, you can now give a unique nickname to any regular critter that doesn’t already have a preset name, making them truly your own. Additionally, all companions will now appear in a dedicated section of the Collections Menu – perfect for keeping track of your loyal sidekicks!

DECORATING
