People will be able to get more restful sleep in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. At the end of July 2020, The Animal Crossing Dream Suite returned. However, it wasn’t entirely perfect. Some bugs crept in with it and would occasionally make the game shut down and crash while they were “dreaming.” Now, 1.4.2. is here to fix that.

The downside is, it doesn’t seem like there is any new content in this update. Rather, it is all about fixing problems that came up as a result of past patches. Like mail will be delivered properly again, and the “sumo ring” is back to normal.

Here are all of the official changes in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons patch notes for 1.4.2, direct from Nintendo.

Ver. 1.4.2 (Released August 20, 2020)

The software has been updated if you see “Ver. 1.4.2” in the upper-right corner of the title screen.

General updates

The following issues have been addressed:

  • From Ver. 1.4.1:
    • Fixed issue where the “sumo ring” would not display properly.
  • From Ver. 1.4.0:
    • Fixed issue where the game would shut down under certain conditions when dreaming.
    • Fixed issue where shining soil would improperly appear behind buildings and other places.
    • Fixed issue where specific message cards sent from animal residents the player is close friends with would not arrive in the player’s mailbox as intended.
  • From Ver. 1.3.0:
