share your discoveries about the new update!

was pleasantly surprised this morning (1st of october, NZ timezone) to find not only halloween themed things...but also CHERRY BLOSSOMS!! I was so jealous of northern hemisphere folks getting blossoms at launch and now I get to experience the hemisphere-appropriate "spring halloween" weirdness! (although I'm most excited about finally getting to have a proper summer christmas in AC for the first time...)
 
I still don’t have any stuff from the update yet. I installed it last night (sept. 29) and kicks was on my island but he didn’t bring any bat wings and I hadn’t played the game until after I updated. And this morning (sept. 30) I had Leif but he didn’t bring any pumpkins. And the nooks didn’t have any candy or pumpkins either. Hopefully I’ll start getting stuff tomorrow

You won't get anything until october 1st. :)
 
So weird that the update was advertised to start today when it starts tomorrow, it would have saved a lot of confusion
 
If I ever get a second island I'd probably do a similar theme! Like, I love Halloween, and I see a lot of traditional "horror' type islands... but sometimes I prefer the cutesy Halloween stuff, y'know? Like, I'm not against gruesome, super scary horror (goodness knows it's what I prefer as a writer) but for aesthetics I tend to like this kind of Halloween stuff- pumpkins and bats and black cats and candy and bright oranges and purples and stuff. I think Nintendo really nailed it with the Halloween decor this year! I thought I'd be bummed since I doubted we'd get the Halloween furniture from previous games (and we didn't get it, like I expected) but I'm not disappointed at all! I LOVE what they did release~

I'm the same way! I love the cutesy Halloween/Harvest type stuff. I think that it's all super versatile and it all has a super cozy feeling. I can't wait to get the whole set and work it into my island.

Same! Though now I need to completely redo my witch's house area, which already looked great, because it NEEDS more pumpkin stuff 😅

Also, dunno if anyone else has done this yet, but I gifted Sylvia a pumpkin (I have so dang many of the orange ones, lol) and she said she was excited to try making stuff, lol. I highly doubt she's ACTUALLY going to make a pumpkin item and display it- so it seems pumpkins can also be used for the stack method of gifting!
 
I want to leave a few grown pumpkins in the ground because they look ok.
Would they vanish over time, or could I leave them indefinately?

They’re just like Lilies of the Valley from what I know, if you don’t harvest them; they’ll stay fully grown and you can run through them without breaking them!

I TTed from the 1st of October to the 1st of November, and the pumpkins I had planted were perfectly fine (and fully grown) so they seem to operate like fruit trees- you can leave the fully grown ones until you're ready to pick 'em, IF you decide to pick them.

That's what I like about them.
I can walk over them. :)

Awesome.

I've kept eight different colors in my yard.
They're cyoot. ;)
 
Pumpkin seeds will be sold yearround via Leif, so there's no reason to think the pumpkins will ever disappear from the grounds you plant them in
