Extremely high quality furniture but these themes are more like a lost romance anti vday, sad garden, astrology, mythical theme. It lacks any concept of Halloween spirit. This has been for all of the actual furniture releases so far. It's kind of shocking to see because I thought this was going to be one of the best Halloween theme relases we'd ever seen when I saw some the gems theme launch, then the free gifts VIP gets monthly (the haunted house/witch gear), then even the monthly exclusive alcove staircase (it wasn't like the usual ones always released, it was grand, shaded perfectly, and you could see purpose with it), plus some of the cash package releases. In the two cash packages, you all came out with coven items (throne & fireplace), that were detailed so nicely and felt like real halloween, then the devourers items (throne & fireplace) that again had very nice detail and felt like Halloween. While they were incredible items, I passed on both of those cash packages because all of the furnture released for the houses has nothing to do with Halloween whatsoever. I cannot decorate an entire house with only 2 items that fit a Halloween theme, then try to pair them with purple, fuscia, blush, pink, teal, violet, easter-pastel items and pretty flowers pots, garden items, and teapots. Maybe if the teapot had blood in it, I guess, but yeah.. If the furniture releases were real Halloween theme, I would have likely gotten 2 of the 100 dollar packages for the coven and 2 for the devourers 100 dollar packages because I could have paired those items nicely in a house with the furniture release. However, I had to pass altogether. I do not want to mistake this feedback as if the releases are not good because that's just not the case. These are high quality items, very nicely detailed, they just aren't approriate for this season. People look amazing in white dresses, but not if they are a guest at the wedding or going to a funeral. People look great in suits or tuxes, but not if you are going to a baseball game. There is just a huge disconnect if this were the case. A bright purple flower pot to decorate in a front yard? Are we supposed to put that on our end table that sits in grass? A lamp post that looks like in a posh neighborhood, yet there isn't even a road there, plus it's supposed to go in front of an abandoned house? The lamp post looks more expensive than the entire structure of the house. Tbh, I would have even built my own road to put them down if they looked spooky or matched what Halloween is all about. I feel like all these releases are put on a spreadsheet no matter what the theme is > "seats, lamps, lanterns, flower pots, npcs" and that's what it is. I have seen some of the most incredible items come out recently, and I want more of that. C'mon BVG let's turn this around and get us going wild for Halloween loool. I want to highlight, gems might be one of the best Halloween themes weve ever seen.. VIP monthly gifts, top notch.. ME were amazing.. Cash package items, incredible!!! Just the actual furniture releases need help. And we'd still even want those items because they are incredible, high-quality items too, just at any other time in the year rather than now <.3
**Side note too** I see we are going to get an amazing bone throne. I hope we see an actual release of furniture that has bones, skeletons, whites & blacks, all sorts of items that we can actually use inside of Halloween rooms. It's great to get unique items, but we need other items that fit Halloween too. I also wanted to point out where I think the diconnect is happening by telling you all what we want to see, but what we're actually seeing (I know all of you will not agree with this, I am just saying what I hear from regular YO's year after year that I know and play with). Not all of these example words have been done in themes, I am just using them to relate to what we want verses how we receive/progress what we're seeing in many cases:
We want..Spooky Swamp > We get..Dead Secret Garden
We want..Witch Coven > We get..1-800-PsychicNetwork
We want..Sinister School of Magic > We get..Astrology Academy
We want..Phantom Graveyard > We get..Memorial Garden
We want..Gravedigger's Hollow > We get..Cemetery Park
We want..Zombie apocolypse > We get..Urban Decay
We want..Creepy Dollhouse > We get..Dusty Victorian Nursery
We want..Pumpkin Patch of Shadows > We get..Autumn Harvest Farm
We want..Haunted Seaside > We get..Old Romantic Coastal Ruins
We want..The Bone Parlor > We get..Rustic Gothic Lounge
We want..Twisted Toymaker's Workshop > We get..Vintage Toy Store
We want..Witch's Sanctum > We get..Mystic Reading Parlor
We want..Skeleton Soiree > We get..Masquerade Party
We want..Crypt Keppers' Den > We get..Ancient Ruin Study
We want..Wednesday's Manor > We get..Dark Academia Loft
We want..Ghoul's Banquet > We get Dark Elegance Feast
All themes to the right side are good in their own right, just not during Halloween. We should do those like in March, September, etc.
Thank you for listening to my long novel
