Please leave my animals alone!

Can't wait for the sheep to turn into snowmen at Christmas - now there's a thought. The pine trees could get fairy lights and tinsel, Greg would have to be Santa and convert the delivery truck into a sleigh drawn by eight reindeer (goats with antlers). Tom could become Tiny Tim and Alfred Marley's ghost (he's halfway there already), Ecko's already buried him!
Change the chickens into turkeys, gift wrap the mystery boxes. The pigs could be little sugarplum fairies in pink tutus.....
SuperCell I so hope you're listening!!!

Lol, those are actually really awesome ideas. I would love that to happen in December.

I think the animals are kinda cute, but they were better in their Summer outfits - those ones looked a little less in-your-face than the Halloween ones do. The ones that bug me now are the semi-transparent sheep. My eyesight's not that great, so they look like faded blobs to me

My chickens are next to the cows, so every time I try to collect eggs there is the cow with the big hat blocking my chicken. I always have to collect milk so that witch cow can move for me to collect my eggs.

I do seem to prefer them au natural. But it does not bother me that they are all dressed up.

What's that you say John? Bah Humbug!! Come on I'll challenge you to a snowball fight, Worm's a jolly good shot ...

lol. The little people I could go for, but SC don't heed the ramblings of yet more costumes for the animals...!!! Enough is enough... The idea of an on/off toggle for the fancy dressed up animals is still the best option by far...

Lights and tinsel on the trees is good...

Never mind Bah Humbug, I love crimbo, and you'll be able to see our back garden from the moon in a few weeks...!!! Mind you, the way the electric companies are putting up their prices at the moment, we might be able light only a single led in a few years time...??? lol.

just replaced all our outdoor Christmas lights with solar led's - so hopefully no electricity needed

I second that!!!

FANTASTIC IDEAS Woozle! However, I would hold back some of your genius thoughts until you get on the SC payroll

[Gimmick]

And those CHICKENS! Omg I feel SOOOO bad for them as they are stuffed inthe midst of a pumpkin and in the connection server screen thingy, it's lit inside! So the must be burning to a crisp Yes, I'd rather have SC LEAVE MY ANIMALS ALONE than to wrap them up in such silly and presumably UNCOMFORTABLE attire! It reminds me of Paris Hilton... Here, if SC actually WANTS to make money, they should make the additional clothing for a pen of animals 5 damned or some gizmo like that. I'm TOATLLY with you; LEAVE MY ANIMALS ALONE!!!!! LOL

I think a good compromise would be an option in the settings to allow people to toggle the holiday decor, but I imagine that's really easy in theory and very difficult in practice.

As a retired programmer I can assure you that it is actually incredibly easy. Half hour, tops. Your basic un-themed farm and naked animals are all still right there just being modified by a temporary subroutine. Toggle to bypass that sub and *poof* basic farm back just like that. This post is probably longer than the amount of code needed!

I'll start now...bah humbug. I feel sorry for my pigs. They look so uncomfortable with that stuff wrapped around them. I don't celebrate halloween so i have no idea what that is supposed to be. And my poor sheep with all those chains! They look like they are as frightened as anything.

They pigs are wearing mummy costumes, and the sheep are wearing ghost costumes. They have gray paint on them to look ghostly. The ball and chain is an old depiction of ghosts: supposedly the chains are how they make noise in houses or something...or some would say they are the ghosts who died while in chains, ie in prison, or in those insane asylums of the 19th century, or slaves... I prefer the ghosts like the one in the fishing area, which is a chicken in a sheet!

I was soooo relieved to see the ridiculous summer outfits the animals had to wear disappear, now I've turned on Hay Day to be greeted with even worse ones!!! Can't these things just be optional?

P.S. I know it's just for fun, but I still don't have to like it, and I don't celebrate Halloween either. Other than that, I love Hay Day!

I agree with you. Not everyone celebrates the holidays and an option button for outfits would be ideal. I really don't want outfits on my animals.

Maybe you should put your idea in the requests section of the forum.

Yup, it's driving me crazy. I've actually had to rearrange one farm because it was happening every time I tried to collect eggs. Also, the hats on the sheep do the same thing.
It's one thing to dress 'em up, with no game-play interference. It's another to introduce a bug (?) that disrupts game-flow, and THIS aspect of it does.
