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

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

yes opting out would be nice!

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 may have to do that! :) Only I don't like leaving decorations up past Halloween. And I wasn't on Hay Day last October, I don't have any decorations to put out (or not put out). I'm waiting on them to be made available so I can buy them! :)

Maybe the update process is getting to labored, and they decided to just do a "Fall" update that they could maintain until December, instead of doing one for Halloween and then another for Fall?

If that were the case, I'm sure Nick would have said so, rather than promising it "when the time is right."

Also, it leaves a lot of diamonds on the table. Decorations are money for SC!

Good point. It's more likely its just a little delayed instead of simply nonexistent.

Well, there's your problem. I love Halloween, but I don't want to see it bleed several weeks over into November either. As someone else said, after the 31st it's time to prepare for Thanksgiving.

Problem is, I get the feeling SC has purposely delayed the Halloween content to allow for November bleed over when, IMO, they should have released it earlier in October and cut it off maybe November 3rd or so.

If that's what they're doing, they're cutting the time from the wrong side! I don't want Halloween decorations up much past November 1 at all. At this rate we're going to get them a couple of days before Halloween and keep them through a chunk of November. Or we'll get them a couple of days before Halloween and they'll be gone a day or two later. Either way, :(

Supercell, if you're listening, PLEASE consider making the decorations available asap (now would be great) and bringing down the non-optional decorations (ie, the animal costumes) as soon after 11/1 as possible.

Allow a little clarification about 2 different things: Content update (download via AppStore and PlayStore) and Halloween theme

Last year Halloween theme is part of content update and removed with another content update. Last month we have seen the theme activated without a content update, hence there is no need to plan a content update to follow a particular theme.

Finger crossed we will meet the ghost again.

That wasn't the intent as it won't be around that long, some people do not like the costumes and there are some different sets of costumes out there for different times of year.

I have passed this on so maybe next year it is different yet again.

Ok I've been thinking about why they haven't done the fall & Halloween themes together :confused::confused:

I've come to the conclusion that all the tec people in Helsinki are blokes ( yep you know where I'm going with this ) and we all know that men can only do one thing at a time .... Quite impossible for them to multitask 😜

So there it is ...... Simple wasn't it 😄
