No Halloween Decor in update? Is this not the "Halloween update?

I've posted about it a couple of other places, but I'm disappointed too. I just assumed that when this update went out, I could go buy Halloween decorations. At this rate, I'll have to buy them one day and take them down the next!

not just the announcement page. on the general forum theres also a sneak peek thread at the top. and on the newspaper in the game, theres also an ad on the sneak peeks which will bring you to the FB page.

And what exactly is wrong with that ? You don't have to read these threads nor do you have to respond to them. That's the beauty of a forum compared to chores you have to do.

That's what a forum is for, discussions asking questions etc. It is not some stuffy static archive to research stuff. Questions can have different answers depending on how people play and the knowledge they accumulate of the game. Apart from the changes made with updates requiring players to change tactics. The game when I was a level 40ish player is completely different from the current level 40s. Therefore don't just assume we know everything because we weren't there.

Remember we were all clueless newbies once and let's cut them some slack especially here on the light side of the forums.
And while we are on the subject of reading, maybe a quick refresher course of the forum rules can't hurt.

Let's get back to the Halloween theme which indeed wasn't included in this update as it was only the fall theme. But I am sure we will see them spooky sheep sometime soon.

I don't care about the dressed up animals, and since not everyone celebrates Halloween, it makes sense to keep the time down on those to only a few days. But decorating is optional. Making the decorations available for purchase doesn't force anyone to have Halloween decorations up longer than they'd like. And it gives others of us the option to go ahead and decorate (with less than two weeks left before Halloween) if we want to.

Absolutely agree. On my other farm game I have an entire farm dedicated to Halloween! Many of us love the theme. If I had played this game last year id have pulled out all the decos from storage, but this is my first year. I'm completely bummed and disappointed to still be waiting. Makes no sense that we cant even buy items yet.

Am also disappointed that the "update" consists primarily of one more way to race through bee bushes. This just probably means the gift shop will go from being a fav to one more building (like the grocery) I avoid. You KNOW everyone is going to want a dozen candles. Really, really disappointed. :(

But you can leave them up for as long as you want :) Who is to say it is not ALWAYS Halloween on -->YOUR<-- farm? :) If anyone asks you why you have your Halloween stuff still out in November, just say

BOO! bwah ha ha ha :) :) )

We do big arts and vignettes for Veteran's Day. We leave them up WELL PAST 11 Nov. :) It's our farm and it makes us happy

i just think its no point complaining. its indeed late for a halloween theme and yet sc already knows how anxious some of us are given the sheer number of threads talking about it but if they do not want to give it to us still, they must have their reasons.

Well that all depends. SC does listen to suggestions, feedback and constructive critisism. And we are here and already made sure they see these threads with many people requesting the Halloween to be introduced earlier. However sometimes things aren't always possible immediately.

Take last year for example, many complained the Halloween theme was around for too long after the event was over. (Something like 3+ weeks after halloween). Some don't like the animal costumes at all so they listened and learned. The Halloween theme will be around for a shorter period of time this year.

Lots of breaks but still no 👻👻👻🎃🎃🎃🎃

Yep! Excellent point!

It was Spring on my farm until about an hour ago. The blossom looks a little silly now the autumn colour has arrived. :D

Maybe they are including new features. Like, the ability to opt out of the holiday themes that so many have asked for.

I love the holiday stuff myself, but I'd be very happy if those who hated it could opt out.

This is such a good solution! Beneficial to supercell pockets as well as players' thirst for Halloween fun (or dislike of it). Win, win win.

You should really make sure someone in charge sees it.
