Album
  • Card album - Every fish, insect, frog and find of the lake has a card, 44 in all, photographed in the game. The notebook pages are now an album with a numbered place for each, and the rare ones are on holo foil. The card you look at tilts with the mouse and turns over when you click it.

Fishing
  • Fishing from the dock - Sit at the end of the dock, or on 8 new spots along its sides, and keep fishing. Look out over the water and press E or 4.

  • Fish prints by hand - Hold up a catch and press R to lay Terry's rice paper over it, then rub it with the mouse. The Old Fellow prints in gold.

Together
  • Gestures - Hold B to see every gesture and its key. Press 6 to open your arms for a hug, and Terry hugs back.

  • Building together - Press G on a friend's card to invite them to build at your cabane. Every board they nail has their name on it.

  • Visiting - Knock on a friend's shut door and they are told who it was. You can also leave today's flower at their sign.

  • Crosscut saw - Terry's saw comes with the hatchet (F). A friend takes the other handle with E and you pull in turns. The tree comes down twice as fast and you both get the boards.

  • Regatta - Push off two boats at the same time and they race across the lake. The first one in wins.

  • Archery - With others at the range, you take turns shooting rounds of three arrows. The best round wins.

Cabane
  • New in the catalogue - A hammock, a bell, a zipline and a pulley with a bucket. Anyone can ring your bell, and you are told who did.

  • Walnut trees - The round trees standing alone in the grass are now walnuts. Their boards are dark brown.

  • Cabane page - Your notebook draws your cabane in pencil, board by board. It keeps up to three, one standing at a time.

The lake
  • Swans and gulls - Most nights a swan sleeps on the bank, and one has three cygnets that ride on her back. A gull lands on the newest thing the lake left on your beach.

  • Four-leaf clover - Each day one sprig near the camp has four leaves. Look at it up close to pick it.

  • Picnics - Ants and a sparrow come for the crumbs, and a wasp for the jam (wave with 1 to send it off). Pick blackberries by the archery range and pass them round with F.

  • Storms - Sit out a storm under a roof and it goes in your notebook. A photo taken on a flash catches the lightning, and the fish bite better that evening.

Terry
  • Map and lanterns - Find every secret and Terry draws you a map of the valley. His lantern wish can now be done with a friend, two lanterns side by side.

Notebook
  • Settings - The notebook has a settings page: music and lake volume, camera speed, walk or run, where the fishing text shows, and a switch for camera shake.

Your camper
  • Things to wear - You can earn swim trunks and the camp scarf, tuck a feather or a flower in your hat, and wear up to three friendship bracelets. Your rod's cork darkens with every catch, and your hat's brim frays over the days.

The lake
  • Boats - A boat left where it landed is back on the camp beach the next morning. Press R before pushing off to set the rudder.

Terry
  • Gifts - Terry now hands you his things himself. He calls you over, gets up and holds them out, and you take them with E.

  • Terry's house - Rebuilt with a real window and shutters, a box of geraniums, a plank door and a hurricane lantern on the porch.

Notebook
  • Souvenirs - F opens a sheet with all your souvenirs. Click one to take it in hand.

Your camper
  • Holding things - The rod, net, camera, rope and everything else sit properly in your hands. No more twisted wrists.

Fixed

  • Camp tree - It no longer jumps to a new size when the host changes.

Your camper
  • Necks - The s&box update of 13 October gave everyone a neck. Terry and the campers have their old look back.
