IMPORTANT: Spooky Pack new DLC coming soon!
- Thread starter Bo Marit
- Start date
Great pack, and more than any other release I think it takes into account how players are actually using objects. Almost everything has separate parts, thinner parts, and "generic" applications. The new metal roofs and fences will get a lot of use here. The only downside was a lack of fall trees...
Also I hope the rain effect means someone at Frontier is working on weather.
Thanks for an amazing update! [up]
Edited to add: The Christmas wreaths are under building, but the Fall/Halloween ones are in scenery. I'm not sure why... I actually think the new sorting makes more sense but similar objects aren't being displayed in the same areas. As we get more items this could get more and more confusing. Glad we have a search feature.

Just went through the entire list of added items. Love all the animated parts and I really love how many pieces will have functionality outside of the haunted house/castle theme. The rats and the spiders are awesome! Totally worth the price. Thank you Frontier team for all your hard work. [heart]
People are saying the Huntsman has no holding brake pieces so you can stop the car at a scene or variable speed pieces. Is that true? That's a big issue if that's the case... Really limits what you can do with it.

No rides have a holding brake, all continuous
That's disappointing... Would have been great to slow the vehicle or stop it in places...
The content isn't bad. Love most of the animatronics and there's some nice scenery and effects.
The things I don't like is that the mist and smoke are exactly the same as what we had before, only these are colorable. To me that feels like something that should've been added to the mist and smoke we already had outside of the DLC, so this feels like a cheap move to me. Overall I think this pack is just a little bit too expensive, but it's not terrible. Don't know if I'll be purchasing another theme pack after this because of the price, amount of content and because it has re-used (but colorable) items.

Glad we got this kind of ride, but yes, that would have been even better of course. (especially to stop them)
Overall a great pack, but a little bit too overprized I feel, its 10.99€ while basegame is about 36€ regular and 25€ right now. So 10.99€ is a very high price, that is a BIG minus for me, way too expensive for what you get in general, also because:
- only two little track-rides included
- no variations of both trackrides possible (other car-designs)
- speed of vehicles is not adjustable
- its not possible to stop cars by trackpiece or trigger, and restart them by timer (stop moving for 123 seconds) or trigger
So I basically have very mixed feelings with this pack and Frontiers way of continuing the game, next DLC I wouldnt buy again ...
To FRONTIER: please adjust trackrides to have control about speed and stopping by sections ...

I love the books so much!! [heart].
The windows, curtains and furniture have so many uses. I also loe the castle pieces with the moss on them.

This pack looks super great, even if it does have a few glaring flaws (key items like the sofa s not being re-colorable, no speed controls on rides, confusing pitch/yaw/direction controls). I barely even play the game and I'm considering buying it. I just love spooky themes.
---> I guess this cannot be done because of the excitement rating though; So not without reason.
yeah and.... wallpaper [heart]
and so much more
+ so many recolourable things
and good sizing
...
(edit: please make the sofas recolourable though = perfection!)

I love everthing about the update but I have 2 probelms with it right now that i hope they can resolve soon.
Furniture not being recoularable when it makes complete sense, things like pumpkins, that wouldnt make sense (but hey I love they can be even if it doesnt, so dont change that please) are recolourable while the tables, sofas and chairs are not. I really need the sofas in red for my art deco theater, so I need to wait for hopefully an update about that.
(they look completely out of place in purple lol)
The second thing, the update about taking out the option of testing a transport rides. While its good we dont NEED to test a transport ride before guests can go in, the option of testing WHILE building it should still be there. Im building a train that goes through some buildings an caves, and its a a little bit of a pain having to make a full circuit and wait minutes on fast forward so the terain passes just through the part i want to test.
Even if its only to see if the train looks good from that vista, the option of testing SHOULD be there.
This kind of example, this is a pain to make without the testing while building option. Had to build the whole track, put entrances to station and then wait a ton of time for the train to dispatch, even on fast forward, becuase in the transport times there are no dispatch time options like in the coasters, so you need to wait the minimum time the game wants.
Other than that, great DLC, the pieces here are amazing.

I love the house the art deco look is sweet I find it funny in a way though, not a single bit of halloween theme to it XD
Good show though, shows the pack have lots of use outside of the haunted theme....

Yep hopefully they're still willing to adjust/update the new assets where necessary. A few official spooky scenery/building/shop blueprints wouldn't go amiss also [cool]

Made it this past two weeks and when i saw the furniture on the first stream I thought it was going to be perfect for it, so I waited for the update to add the sofas, only to find they were not recolourable lol
I love this dlc. but it would have been cool if yall re made the spooky rides and shops and even the scary mascot from rct3. and a walk in hunted house like in rct1 and 2 would also be a cool remake also could yall make a spooky park maps in career mode?[big grin]

For me there's a lack of animatronics and dark ride gags. I was expecting more... Like vampires, witches, zombies, werewolves, monsters, mummies, more pop up or pop out scares. I was also hoping you could resize the animatronics. I feel the animatronic spiders are too small. I also was hoping for omnimovers and other types of dark ride vehicles. I was also hoping for carnival style dark ride facades that we can build our dark rides into.
It's an ok start for dlc, but I hope they add more to it.

You do get white pumpkins, different shades of orange, yellow and green.
So I feel like I'm missing something here, but are there really no arches and store front pieces for the new haunted house or castle building sets? Feels like a really odd thing to miss since literally every other building set has them. I went to build a shop stand with the haunted house items, sort of expecting it to have all the standard pieces and was genuinely surprised to find that the arch wasn't large enough to cover the whole bathroom/medic front, leaving large empty spaces on the sides, nor was there a piece designed to fit the shop windows.
