    I am looking at my collection of Halloween and Christmas buildings. Love them, particularly the rent/upgrade rates, etc. However, the tropical juice bar next door (necessary for need revenue, of course) looks a tad out of place.

    Thought, what about offering special holiday-themed commercial buildings. Then thought... hmm... I might like a Halloween one, but what about someone who has just Christmas buildings or such?

    THEN, I thought "how about decorations that can be changed?". They might work similar to "improvements". It might be a one-time, permanent change or it might be something you can buy, change, but then also maybe change back (you can offer more than one type of "skin" though only one per building). I would be happy just being able to change the decore, but I suppose you could make them add some kind of storage capacity or such (similar to residential improvements, perhaps adding extra capacity or even reducing the amount customers need -- maybe supersizing the offering so they don't need as much?).

    It would be neat to decorate the buildings for the seasons or regions. Could be an improvement offered and added to the building in place of normal improvement.

    Also being able to change them back should be an option. Some people might like to change them back to normal after the season. But it sounds like a great idea.

    Maybe they could be timed. The decorations could last for so many days or through a specific date. Then the building would revert back to normal configuration. (Yes I know that would be a programing pain. But, would be fun to have and would not have a bunch of Winter decorations in July, or Summer features in January.)

    I would be fine if they did this so you could buy a certain amount with metro money to make your city unique. That might be a way to raise money for bp so they can continue to upgrade our game while at the same time give us an ability to customize our city to our own liking. :) Perhaps they could sell skins, or remodels of the buildings that could be put on or taken off according to the season.

    This would be helpful when we get the new playfield. It would add some new options.
