#Ranch "skins"/appearances (different zones, holidays etc)

Would anyone else be interested in being able to change their ranch appearance a bit? I was thinking skins we can unlock as we open new zones, especially t5/t6/t7, and ones as prizes.

The last 3 zones have unique visual appearances, so we could make our ranch look like it's in a swamp, up in boreal with the coloured grasses, or down at prickly lake with cacti and rocks. For these I'm picturing trees and vegetation and such around the ranch plot as well, not something we can interact with just a visual element.

We could have holiday ones that we could earn as part of a prize list
• Halloween themed where it's a little darker outside, pumpkin vines and spiderwebs and such on unused ground, spiderwebs on the well and other outside stuff and pumpkins growing up one side of the quest board
• Spring themed with meadow flowers on the ground, all the rabbits at the ranch white instead of regular colour
• Winter themed with snow on the ground and frosty pine trees edging the perimeter (but no xmas decorations - save those for the winter holiday events only)
• other themes?

which could be controlled from the build screen once we've unlocked them

idk I just feel my ranch has been very same-y for two years, and I'd like to mix it up a bit but without it looking cartoonish.

Thanks for the suggestion, it’s very clearly explained.
Purely cosmetic ranch appearances sound like a great way to add visual variety without affecting game balance.
Basing them on existing zones or biomes fits the game world really well and keeps the style consistent.
Unlocking them through progression or events, and managing them from the build menu, also makes a lot of sense.
I’ll include this suggestion in my feedback report so the dev team can take a look.

I just want my ranch to look like the naturalist camp. Complete with the waterfall, the picnic area, the pier and the boat. Some pretty decorative trees etc. Like a border around that you can't build on.

Id settle for being able to change the wall colors and floor design though.
