Beautiful places on your farm :-)

Additional, I forgot to mention...

As my re-arrangements increased the last time I decided to spend some diamonds for a 4th layout. 

I tried out several ideas but nothing really stuck, so here is were I placed my school day decorations, simply next to the chickens with the know-it-all chicken-headmaster not having much success educating the eat-it-all-billy-goat 

Dear Eturtle

Sure I try to explain my MO. As I wrote, I have currently 4 layouts. For some time 3 layouts were sufficient but for several different themes an additional layout was necessary. 

Look at the screenshot. Layout number 1 is my "changing" layout. Before I take action I save the relevant layout. (This would be number 2, 3 or 4)
After saving my farm I copy this layout in layout number 1, so that I'm able to start from the very layout I want to change. 

I prefer to make the changings in little steps and after a while I save it. Be aware that you can use two mode, the "Edit-Mode" and the "Play-Mode". The Edit-Mode is important if you want to store deco, machines, trees, bushes and so on. Furthermore the layout is a little bit "transparent", you can spot everything, also lost fields e. g. 

Now place the machines and the deco in a way you prefer. If you are satisfied, place all trees and bushes as well. Note, you can only switch from Edit-Mode in Play-Mode, if all machines, stables from the animals and trees and bushes are set. This is sometimes a little bit tricky, if you've stored many. 

The Play-Mode has an advantage over the Edit-Mode if you have to place many fences or path. The Play-Mode starts every time from the last item you used, the Edit-Mode doesn't. You start always from scratch and you have to scroll. That's a little bit inconvenient. Due to this I skip mostly to the Play-Mode and save my changes often. You have to try and to figure out what suits you most. 

If you have a lack of experience with the layouts and the different mode it's possible that it is a little bit odd the first time. But I promise you, do it and get used to it. Learning by doing. You loose nothing as the farm layout you want to change is saved in the first place. If you are not satisfied, skip to your original layout. Everything will be as it was.






 

My new-arranged Sushi Bar and Deep Fryer....

donkeyfan and Eturtle I have finally gotten a chance to play the game for more than 10 minutes these past couple days and have taken a gander at both your farms. I think they're both wonderful!

For eturtle, 🎵"school days, school days. Dear old golden rule days..."🎶 Or maybe I'm the only one that knows that song? My mom used to sing those first couple lines once in a while way back when I was a youngster. I hated it! 😋 I think your school area looks great! And your chicken is getting to look at his models as well! I also want to say that I Love how your blue peacock sleeps on the golden road! So neat 😍 And maybe they all do, not sure, but I caught a glimpse of the blue one at least. Or is he called the green peacock maybe. I don't know! 🤷‍♀️

Donkeyfan, your donkeys seem to really enjoy the tomato and wheat area! When I was there they went right straight to it. It looks very nice and neat. As does your whole farm! All those separate areas on your farm designed, it seems, individually-- it's like each one of those would be a layout in the editing place. So instead of 4 layouts, you actually might have about 24! A lot more patience than I have that's for sure!! 😘 😻 👍
 
Inserting here a pic of my artist chicken. Okay, so the trees are a bit in his way, but I think he can see the gist of it! 😉

thanks for visiting my farm ClassyCats, I like to visit yours but I don't see you in my friends list, no ClassyCats ?
and no, I don't know that song, hahaa, what is not to hate about the golden rules ;-) 
the white peacock (princess Pea) sleeps way up at the stone wall,  and the green one (Kylo Wren) sleeps in hiding, I could not find him so far.

FullAck, that's the plan. Less work to do when changing the theme. Perhaps some slight adjustments.  

ClassyCats

Thank you very much for your compliments. 

I have definetely more time for all of this, no doubt. My current theme is "finished" for the time being. Halloween 🎃 and winter are themes I have to deal with when the time comes. I'm looking forward to it. I'll invite you to visit me when I'm finished. 

Found your farm, I was looking for a 'cat' name so Blue Mitten did not jump at me
you mentioned you like your Christmas decorations, you have a cute Christmas tree corner. I have some seasonal decorations all your round as well... I must say I deeply regret not buying the igloo, at the time I wanted to work on my willpower and staying strong. And I have only one Christmas bell, can't even remember seeing that one a second time around... I see so many cute decorations on your farm, the relaxing spot with the lounge chairs invite to watch the birds at the bird bath. Very cute! And I giggled seeing your haunted beach. made me think of Donkeyfan  

I decided not to remove the swamp with the log and tried to fit it into my interior...

I prepped my farm today for the upcoming Halloween 🎃 theme. For that purpose I created some dead trees around my farm and I changed some path. I switched from "Pebble Road" to "Stone Road".

Tomorrow I think I can't withstand any longer and will buy from Maggie the Halloween design.

Hello! It's been awhile but I just rearranged my farm layout, so I thought I'd post a few pics. Here's a small section.

What a lovely Zen Garden! It looks so inviting to take a stroll to admire the plantings and then have a cup of tea with some rice balls :-) Great decorating! 

Since we have used our allotted storage space for including "attachments" here on the forum, we now need to use a third party image hosting site to include an image in our posts. Here are some websites you can use: justhayday.boards.net/post/1441/thread

The site I use is postimages.org

Go to postimages.org
Tap "Choose Image"
Select the image from your device and tap "Done" (in upper rt corner)
Your image will upload and you will see various links when you scroll down. (You don't need to sign in or create an acct)
Copy the link in the "Hotlink to forums" area.
Paste that link in your post.
(It will only show the link until the post is submitted, then will show the image).

very nice! 

I am thinking I have to re-design mine
