This major update introduces visible first-person smoking animations, synchronized multiplayer interactions, redesigned character poses, and a fully modeled 3D tobacco plant.

• Visible hand positioning when holding cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other smokeables.

• First-person lighter holding animations.

• Animated transitions between holding, lighting, puffing, and exhaling.

2. The lighter is raised into position.

3. The lighter flips open and ignites.

4. The flame is held against the smokeable's tip until it catches.

5. The lighting sequence finishes and transitions back to the holding pose.
