My favourite updates of Dreamlight Valley

As friends will know, Dreamlight Valley is my special interest as an autistic person. I play it every day for as many hours as I can, and neglect all my other games because this one is the best.

My parents have even tried getting me other games just to get me off Dreamlight Valley, but I'm a DV lover for life!

With all the new updates, here are my favourite things about the game as well as things I hope they bring out in the future
.
Storybook Vale

As a book lover I absolutely adore this expansion pack. It's the little details that make it absolutely divine, such as the bookshelf walls and the trees filled with books, the origami creatures and the new items you can purchase in the store.

New recipes

The new recipes have been inspired by Greek dishes and they are so much fun to make! I especially love making Spanikopita which is my absolute favourite thing to have at any Greek restaurant.

More space 

Space was a huge issue as in the main Valley, you can only have 600 items and that was soon reached with all the decorating and houses we were filling our Vallys with. Knowing that there were more characters to come, it was a little unnerving as there just wasn't the space, but with the new expansions and the addition of the floating islands, there's now plenty of room!

I adore how Merlin wanted his library to be moved to a floating island, and so I'll definitely be creating a cosy, book filled island for him.

Things I hope will happen

The forgotten 

The forgotten has been hanging around for a while now, and I so want to be able to give her a name and a proper home in the valley! Maybe the treehouse can be repurposed as that's not really being used.

I also want to be able to interact with her and have her be part of the story again because the whole point was for her not to be forgotten anymore!

Bring Peter Pan and Winnie the Pooh to the Valley

I would adore building the 100 acre wood in the Valley, and I do love Peter Pan. We have the Skull Rock, so it's strange that Pan, Wendy or Hook hasn't made an appearance yet.

More moonstones!

This is a huge issue for DV fans. We just don't get enough moonstones, and even with the dream snap rewards there just isn't enough to get the items you want. I've been after the Pizza Planet for ages now and still haven't enough moonstones for it. If the purpose is to make fans spend actual money on moonstones, I'd ask the creators to please reconsider. We're all broke and we just want to play our game without additional financial stress. The price of the expansions are bad enough!

Make the items more interactive 

It's fine having all these decorations about, but we can't really do much with them. I'd love for the record player to play music, or to be able to fill the bath tub! It'd be great to have a SIMS like experience in the Valley.

All in all though, I adore this game so much and I will never stop playing it. It's the first thing on my mind when I wake up, and the last thing I do just before going to bed! I'm a Dreamlighter forever!
