Holiday Events 2019! (0.8.6.0)

Let the Festivities Begin!

We’ve got over 51 new festive items for you. 31 of them are exclusive to this event, and the rest will stick around all year.

This year we wanted to roll out a popular suggestion - christmas string lights. Now you can decorate your condo with various string light items with ease using the new Targeter tool.

Collect Holiday Coins, the currency used for exclusive holiday 2019 store. Grab them by playing games, grabbing presents around the Plaza, talking with Plaza event characters, or by fishing them up!

We’ve also added a few New Year’s items to celebrate 2020.

Events end on January 10th, 2020!

I can’t imagine how laggy that would be

This is really gonna help with the Christmas condo build.

the plaza is so pretty.

honestly i just love what you guys do. the purple/orange around halloween, the light blues around winter, and then the red green for christmas, the snow/christmas themes around the plaza are tops, the santa hat is just the best. i swear plane wars is even performing smoother or i just may be feeling the bliss.

i’m being sappy and stating obvious facts i know but the devs level of love and attention to detail is very very much appreciated.

Surprisingly it doesn’t lag much, most of the time

When it does lag and it then has to catch up to what the computer is actually showing it will just show everything at a much faster speed.

So instead of having a zombie slowly jog up to you it will sprint up to you at the speed of sound and slap you 500 times in one second.

And in snowball fights instead of having just one lone snowball occasionally thrown at you you will just see an avalanche of snowballs flying towards you
