Countdown to content removal (floor decorations)

A removal of 'Winter holiday content' took place on Tuesday 7th January 2014. Only Christmas content was removed. More information can be found here.

Let me take you back to 3rd January 2013...

A pop-up appears to every player on every TeamLava game, and it informs that all holiday content from 2012 will be removed on the 7th. Chaos ensues as players frantically try to decide what is and what isn't 'holiday content', before invading Design mode to buy up items expected to go and desperately trying to master seasonal recipes.

It was a bit of a shambles in all honesty. Only four days notice of a whole raft of unnamed items and dishes being removed with no promise of any returning at any time in the future. So as that time approaches again, here's a guide as to what you should do.

The definition of 'holiday content' is a dodgy one - Valentine's Day, Halloween and Christmas clearly all fall into this bracket, but what about Summer, Autumn, Carnival and Cruise themed items? So for the sake of taking no chances I'm going to class anything added this year as at risk.

Every week I'm posting a list of items released in 2013 for a certain category, comprising of the nine tabs of Design mode and the recipes. It's the turn of the floor decorations this week, and it's a very well populated category...

Last updated Thursday 2nd January 2014.

(*) These floor decorations were a 2011 or 2012 removal, but have been re-added in 2013. They are expected to be removed again this year. The Christmas decorations among these are set to be removed shortly.

(**) These floor decorations were unlockable through goals, and consequently may already not be available to some players.

(***) These floor decorations are 'in season' so may be removed in the near future in a removal of the same format as the Halloween content removal.

So a massive 84 floor decorations in all are in the mix for removal at the start of 2013. I suggest buying any item in this table that you want in the near future, as there's no telling which ones will be removed.

Now some housekeeping... There are 19 floor decorations which were removed in the Halloween content removal on Friday 15th November 2013 so are not included in this list. Likewise, the 15 limited time offers in 2013 are not in the table, nor is the Phonograph which was a goal prize in the Gran-Gran goals which for some reason cannot be bought.
