I also know that they are just giving us ideas to add flavors to this upcoming EP. But for me, isn't this a pure evidence of false advertising, which is illegal. Nevermind. Don't want a fight here, I just really want a meaningful argument between sides.

Probably more for the aesthetic than anything for the trailer. Nothing to worry about this time. ;)

I'm not sure how anything in either Spooky Stuff or the holiday pack would be 'vital' to another pack anyway, it's all decorations, lol. My guess is they're probably new swatches/items so that people who don't have the packs can still have the decorations (just different colors/variants), and people who do have them get a few extra swatches/designs.Win-win all around, except for those who assume more options are bad, because they're 'recycled' or whatever again, lol.

Probably to show you what you can do with those items, fitting the autumn feel with Halloween. I wouldn't be too worried, just having them in there isn't mental idea, it's very fitting to have those in that scene.

Why are there Spooky Stuff items in the seasons trailer? DLC for a DLC? Again?

But you can already create your own custom bundle in origin. 1 EP. 1 GP1 and 1 SP. Yes that right, I think they'll not do official bundles from now.

Don't forget Spooky Stuff has 4 Gameplay Objects and new recipes.

I would imagine that, since we already have Spooky Stuff, we aren't going to get much (or any) "Halloween" decor in Seasons.

I saw a couple of new Halloween items in the trailer including a mailbox.
