Will Halloween really come tomorrow
There's usually a bit of downtime after a big event before new content is released. Odds are Halloween won't hit until Thursday. Perhaps on Wednesday if we are really lucky.

Quote from the Simpsons wiki page:
"The Simpsons: Tapped Out Halloween 2014 content update is an upcoming content update/event which will be released on October 7, 2014, immediately after the ending of the Clash of Clones event. It will be the game's third Halloween event, after Halloween 2012 and Halloween 2013."
That is user submitted and pretty obviously based entirely on the Vulture article, which while encouraging may be a whole lot more vague than people are giving credit.
It's from the Vulture interview with the writers of the game. If it wasnt true, SOMEONE would have corrected it by now.
Bear in mind COC was a week late, which would explain why they're not giving any downtime. The THOH ep airs in a couple weeks, they dont have much time. If they leave it a while, halloween wont end until mid november, crashing into Thanksgiving.richardaca969 wrote:

Sure, but the quote itself may not be as specific as people are thinking. As was pointed out earlier, the update has always come the week before the Halloween episode airs, which would place it at least another 2 weeks away. Now, that's probably not likely as the episode is airing later than it has for the past couple years. For another fun fact, before the past couple years the Halloween episode usually aired in November.richardaca969 wrote:

I expect it to hit tomorrow just as you do. But the statement itself was not a statement quoted by the article writer from the body of the interview questions and answers. It was said in the prologue to the interview, by the article writer himself, with no indication as to where he got that information from. Like you, I ASSUME he got the start-date info from the Simpsons person being interviewed. But ...- Oh, goodness....
Yes, I fully expect the Halloween event to start tomorrow. There should be an app-store update that removes and replaces.
EA wants to make money, this is a very specific seasonal update... they WANT this update on your device ASAP... $$$$$$
There used to be massive spoilers, but EA has kind of figured out not to release the game files so early. Skyrim-mrp wrote:

Good to see you back Fuzz :D
Hey man 8) I'm still hanging around :wink:
Cheers for you input guys, mostly seems based on this article, I have no idea what vulture even is?- It will come after COC ends. The real question is when is it ending? Will tomorrow really be the end of the event? Or will tomorrow be the last day of the event meaning Halloween will come on Wednesday.

Valid question, but I doubt you'll see a hotfix patch ending the event, only for a massive app-store update to show up a few days later.
They are more than capable of doing this all at once... We have seen this before, you'll get a hotfix in the morning, app-store shorty afterwards.
The content is ready to go.
People will complain in the morning that they saw an in-game update, but nothing changed...
EDIT: Surprised there hasn't been a FB teaser posted, but I remember Christmas landing without much pre-fanfare.- Posted this in the other thread about the upcoming Halloween Event.
Anyone know what the entire message says? - I would imagine they will post a teaser on FaceBook in the next few hours.
- Everybody seems to be convinced CoC will actually end tomorrow and Halloween will actually start tomorrow too, but nothing is guaranteed until it happens. You could have some last-moment glitches that prevent roll-out, maybe EA wanting to drag out CoC for an extra day to see if more people buy the Bart deal, whatever. I'm pretty confident we'll see Halloween launched tomorrow and I'm hoping for it, but best not to get your hopes up too high before the fact.
