What else is new?
- This update is the first of the ‘Freeplay Series‘ which means more than one update will have the same theme so Spring into Life is the first Family Farmhouse theme update which will continue into the next update. This allows the makers to add more items with a similar theme to the game without being restricted by how much they can fit into one update.
- The in game lighting has had an update called ‘Enhanced Lighting‘ which improves the lighting on house lots, you will be able to see light streaming through windows and the warm glow of fireplaces as well as the shadows moving through different times of the day:
This feature can be turned on and off in the options settings, under graphics:
NOTE: older devices will not have this feature, you will only see the classic (original) lighting option
Lights also have more options when you click on them. Auto lights are now called sensor lights, you can turn all lights in a house on or off at the same time and night lights turn on at 7pm and off at 7am:
- The Paperboy will be giving double rewards between 13th-17th March, 28th- 31st March and 17th-23rd April

Thanks for sharing about upcoming events! Love the new enhanced lighting option! I can’t wait to try that.
Is it possible to explain ->What else is new? This update is the first of the ‘Freeplay Series‘ <- a bit more? I read it several times and still not sure what it means.
It just means that there will be more than update in a row with a similar theme so this one and the next one will both be ‘family farmhouse’ themed.
I’m so glad they’re updating big parts of the game. I’m glad they have a function 2 off some features since I don’t like overworking my device. I hope they have a toggle 2 turn off automatic actions since that’s sometimes such a big hassle. Theres so many things Freeplay should update & I’m glad the team always has their minds set on it.
will there be enhanced lighting for the midtown cafe? I don’t see it
Enhanced lighting is only available on house lots.
