I liked the new deco, although it doesn’t exactly fit with either my personal beliefs (although the sentiment is awesome—neither does what the modern Halloween has become, lol), but it also didn’t really fit my farm.

I did know enough about the Mexican tradition to know it’s very different from what I know as the traditional “spooky” Halloween, so I wasn’t quite sure where to put that deco.

I looked it up and saw that ok, people visit grave sites, so maybe it can go where the other tombs are. But…people go to clean up their loved ones’ graves and the deco we have in the game already has the dusty decaying spiderwebs, lol. It’s just a weird mix…. Eh. I need to open more land, lol.

Thanks for the awesome signature, Legend!

A friend without forum access updated today and since then the game crashes instantly at startup on an Amazon Fire HD 10. Could anyone here confirm?
Official FB Page has quite a few comments like that (game doesn't start after update), but support is obviously not aware of any issues (yet) and was no help at all.

Thanks for any input.

My baby farm is on a kindle fire and yes the game crashed after updating. I contacted support and was told it was a bug and had been fixed. I reinstalled the game and logged into supercede. I have my game back but it does not have the updates. No passion anything on baby farm. But I'm level 57 so not really upset about not having the new stuff.

I'm glad that the effort Supercell put in to solving the issues has worked for you.

Passion fruit become available at level 88, so you won't see anything of them on your baby farm yet.

A good test for whether you have the update is can you see the new birdhouse and peacocks on the animal homes/animals tabs? I can see them on my level 49 farm.

...Hay Day is quite an elderly game, and gets increasingly complex with every update. On the last couple we've been given inadvertent sneak peeks. I love yesterday's Tweet: "Pretend you didn't see them". I'm trying really hard to do that, but I can't!

Indeed, Hay Day is an aging game and there are challenges to develop and sustain an aging game. I'm reminded of what Clash of Clans Game Lead Eino Joas said about CoC which I think also applies to Hay Day. I'm excerpting from this interview which was published on January 16, 2019.

I struck up a similar conversation with Clash of Clans team lead Eino Joas. Like the Clash Royale team, the Clash of Clans developers are challenged with keeping an older game sustainable in the long-term through regular updates. But Clash of Clans has been around for even longer, since 2012, and that makes it even more difficult to continue surprising players.

"We have millions and millions of players who love this game and would like to continue to play," Joas said. "The challenge for us is to find ways to get them fired up and inspired about it year after year. I don't think we'll stop doing that. That's exactly the goal we want to achieve. It's going to be hard because we have to constantly reinvent, but also not reinvent because people want more of the same in a way, but you also have to offer them surprises."
