Halloween 2013 disaster

I'm totally willing to wait. I can still collect goo from friends, but my town is nearly unplayable. Things not nearly as bad a those folks who have Lisa in the ocean and cant progress the questline. Just disappointed the event has been marred by these glitches and cant enjoy the update like folks who havent been affected. Heard that the firehouse was placed in the files and then taken away so I know its coming up. Fingers crossed. My town needs a massive redesign after this debacle. I stored so much stuff in hopes it would fix the gameplay but to no avail.
