If you are going to insist on doing these events...

How about giving rewards that would actually make the game, CAS or Builds more fun if we participate. 

*Note: The examples below cross many packs and require certain packs to be able to use them. This is intentional. If you don't have the pack, for example Dogs & Cats for the collars and costumes it would be something that stays in the game files and unlocks when you purchase the applicable pack. 

**Note: This is a single list of suggested items. I have quite a few other ideas. Since this isn't going to go away might as well suggest things we might actually like.

Halloween - Suggestions I would do myself if I were running things. Month long event, running through October. 

• Activity Items - It's not such a foreign concept that we might quite objects that actually do new things in game rather than endless recolors and reskinned things we already have.
