[carousel][/carousel][p]Whether you're designing a haunted mansion or a cozy autumn retreat, this pack brings the seasonal flair you need.

If you want to use the Halloween add-on, you first need to turn it on in the main menu. We're left it this way so if you aren't a Halloween or gothic furniture fan, you can keep it turned off.

The add-on will also be available all year round so if you want Halloween in July, you can turn it on with a flick of a switch![/p][h3]
