Let us know what you think of today’s new trailer in the comments below or over on Twitter.
You can also have ‘mud fights’ it’s said on the what seasons are you quiz!
LOVE the new toddler hairstyles so far, glad they got more. The whole pack is worth the price and is waiting for download in my Origin folder. Can’t wait to play!
Apple cider stand is from Pets already 🙂
I don’t recall apple cider stand being part of Pets… it’s not among the food stands I’ve seen.
There’s no apple cider stand in Cats and Dogs.
A week long for each season seems a bit short…
Agreed, I’m hoping that’s adjustable
That’s just the default duration. But Grant said in Twitter that we can adjust the length of each seasons.
