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

There are a lot of complaints about Halloween theme lasting for too long. Looks like they listen to our complainers, and keep in mind not everyone like the Halloween theme.

I hope this is not seriously the reason. There must be many, many more people wanting to celebrate Halloween, and longer, than those who dont like it. Take a look at Disneyland for an indicator .......

Heck, Macy's already has up Christmas trees. People complain about that too, but it hasn't stopped them from putting them up!

I'm one of the few who's happy that the halloween theme is still not here.
If they just would add an option to disable it if you dont like it, everyone would be happy.

I am happy it's not here yet. Not that I don't like the decorations or the misty fog, I really dislike any costumes on the animals and would gladly go without the rest to not have those.

I too am disappointed with the update. Having to decide between wax and honey per each comb just throws salt on the wound of these bee bushes expiring took quickly.

I have mixed feelings about the missing Halloween decor. On one side I was really looking forward to seeing the fun decorations I could buy up and play with... on the other side I'm content knowing I don't have to buy diamonds today to buy it all up. If we will only have a few days to use the decor I will most likely skip it all together. Maybe sc has so much money they don't need anymore lol. Ah well going to play my other games which already have Halloween events going. )

Same. I'm still hoping for the wrought iron fence, but I'm not sure I'll bother with anything else now. Not going to spend diamonds on something that'll only be on my farm a few days.

Even if they didn't want to start Halloween "too soon" they could have at least made the decorations purchasable at the beginning of the month.

I don't understand the big deal why SC chose not to start Halloween Deco/Theme sooner or even with today's update. Its mid October...What good is a a week of Halloween Deco?

First, thank you, Hay Day, for separating "fall" from "Halloween"!

In reading through the posts in this thread, I've noticed that there are very few references to the animal costumes. What the farmers who are clamoring for Halloween really want are the decorations. They have been saving their diamonds, vouchers and coins for DECORATIONS! They are ready to spend MONEY!! They would have been adding and adding and adding to their farm decorations all through the month of October. (Frankly, my animals are relieved that they don't have to put on their costumes yet.)

Those of us who have lobbied for Halloween to arrive later (and leave earlier) would have been delighted if our "fall color" arrived earlier at the same time as the Halloween decorations became available for purchase for those who want them. Personally, I'm hoping for some "fall" decorations like cornstalks, bushel baskets of apples, heaps of fall leaves, and piles of non-jack-o-lantern pumpkins that I can buy to decorate my farm until winter.

All that being said, there's no guarantee the same decor will be available next year.

If you want it, buy it. You may not see it again, unless your preference is simply to cut off your nose to spite your face.

I did that last year with 2 games. I bought gems and paid premium prices for Halloween, Christmas, and just about every holiday because I like my game to be pretty and well decorated and most games only offer holiday themed decor during those holidays... anyhow, I bought with those same thoughts of using them this year and let me tell u what... I haven't logged any of those games since the beginning of summer and still have no interest in playing them. I have plenty of games I've spent real money on and lose interest in. I doubt this game will be any different because there will always be someone newer and better.

Thanks for the tip.. but no thanks. Buying decor for a few days use is really silly if that constitutes spending real money. If the decor is low priced I may... maybe at clearance prices lol.

You can always bring the decorations out earlier than SC rolls them out for next year. When you buy limited decorations, they stay stored. So, if you had a hankering for Halloween next March, for example, you can bring everything out and decorate then. Or use them creatively in potty forts or other works of art.

One of my neighbors already has her Christmas stuff up. I think she has had it up since September, so there's no reason to hold back and you can keep things up for more than a few days if you'd like.

I used the spooky tree, iron fence and grave for a cemetery in my town right when the town was introduced.

Oh and some items cost diamonds, yes. But others cost coins. Hopefully you can find some nice things to get in the coin department.
