Although having a pet cat or dog has been a longtime feature in Stardew Valley, the significant 1.6 update has allowed players to own more than just one pet. Not only that, but developer ConcernedApe added turtles as an entirely new type of pet to this charming farming simulator.

Adopting more pets isn’t as easy as it may sound, and you’ll have to prove that you can take care of more than just one creature at a time. If you’re ready to take that leap and want as many pets as possible in Stardew Valley, we’ll explain how you can adopt more animals in the 1.6 update, which is now available for console and mobile.

How to adopt more pets in Stardew Valley

Aside from the pet that everyone gets at the start of a Stardew Valley playthrough, players can adopt additional pets once they’ve reached maximum friendship levels with their main pet. Players will get their first pet for free during their first spring once they’ve earned at least 1,000 gold. Marnie will appear outside their door with a dog or a cat, depending on which animal they chose as their favorite during character creation.

Raising friendship levels with your pet is quite easy, but it takes a while to reach 5 full hearts. You can raise your friendship level by petting them and filling their water bowl. Petting them raises it by 12 points while filling their water bowl using your watering can grants six points. The maximum level is 1,000 points total, so it will take you some time before you can reach full animal friendship.

Keep this up, and you’ll eventually spot a message saying that your pet loves you, meaning you’ve maxed out friendship levels. You can also check how far you are in the Animals menu, as well as check if you petted your animal on a particular day. Once this happens, you should wake up the next morning to a letter in your mailbox from Marnie explaining how she’ll now allow you to adopt additional pets after seeing how well you’ve taken care of your initial pet.

Before you can get another animal, make sure you’ve built an additional pet bowl. To do this, visit Robin’s Carpentry Shop and purchase the Pet Bowl. It costs 5,000 gold and 25 hardwood, and it will build instantly. With that done, you can now talk to Marnie and ask to adopt a pet.

Tales of the Shire is a The Lord of the Rings-themed take on Stardew Valley

A Hobbit gardens in Tales of the Shire.

Private Division revealed a new game set in the Middle-earth universe called Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game. The title, developed by Wētā Workshop Game Studio, is a cozy life simulator set within the world of the books by J.R.R. Tolkien.

In 2022, No Rest for the Wicked publisher Private Division first teased that it was working on a game based on The Lord of the Rings with Wētā Workshop, the visual effects studio whose initial claim to fame was working on Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. Wētā Workshop has technically had a game studio since 2014, but Tales of the Shire will be its most significant release yet.

All companions in Baldur’s Gate 3 and how to get them

Wyll with horns dancing.

There's a lot to see in Baldur's Gate 3, but you're not going to get far without a few good companions by your side. Thankfully, you'll stumble upon a wide assortment of NPCs that'd love nothing more than to accompany you on your journey. These friendly faces fill several different roles -- from mages and healers to archers and warriors, there's bound to be a companion that augments your playstyle.

Many of these companions also come with their own series of quests and unlockable skills, turning them into more than just faceless characters to help you in combat. In fact, you can spend hours unraveling their narratives, and depending on your actions, your companions might look very different at the end of Baldur's Gate 3 than when you first met them.

Where to find the bookseller in Stardew Valley

The bookseller in Stardew Valley

Books are not completely new to Stardew Valley. Prior to the 1.6 update, you could find lost books that gave some background details about Pelican Town but didn't give you any in-game benefit. Now, there is a new collection of books that grant your character some nice buffs or abilities. You can find a few of these new books hidden in the world, like the new Powdermelon seeds, but there are some exclusive ones you need to buy from a new bookseller NPC. Despite not making any business sense, they are only open for brief windows of time in a specific place. Here's when and where to find the bookseller.
