Every once in awhile a building will not hide but mostly they do. I also have hidden my chicken coops and dairy sheds on some other farms by putting them in a large house.

No one has said it loads a tad slow, that was my observation. It may be in my head since I know it is stacked!!
I love that green glove!!
i have hidden up to 18 facilities and all the animal barns, mines etc in the modern mansion on all 15 farms...the green glove is brilliant!!

I have tried using the green glove, something as simple as putting the small pond over the mulch paths, Doesn't work... I am not happy at all with the green glove, it doesn't work. I would like a refund, I have sent numerous messages & still haven't recvd a response.

For some reason the glove doesn't work with paths and fences - you can get paths under two sometimes three sides of water but not all of them. The only ones that work reasonably well if you fiddle seem to be the roads as they are bigger - lay them down first and put the pond on top.
I wish they would make it work with the ornamental non harvestable trees too like the small pine - I would love to get them on top of the grass hills!

>> The description of the Gloves states to allow layering of "Paths & Ponds", & "allow everything except plants"... The reason I purchased them does not work as described, I have requested a refund several times & haven't recvd a response. I don't decorate for competition & don't like to hide my bldgs. I would like to see the descriptions changed to reflect what they actually do. I'm still very disappointed, I want my 90 FC so I can purchase something I can use. Thank U for your input maggie, much appreciated. Have a Great Day... (")(^o^)(")

Yes I was disappointed the glove doesnt work with paths or the fences - I am sure it is meant to as you say. I still like it but it would be nice if this glitch??? was fixed.

I have been able to overlap fences, as in the gap is not big enough to put a whole fence, but using the green hand it will go in. However, you do have to place the fence on the farm first and then move it into position using the green hand, have not tried with paths, but will have a go now! I LOVE the green hand

Thumbs up

I'm a farm decorating freak and I LOVE the design tools. I can overlap buildings and all decorations. I can place the items I just mentioned on top of crops if I so choose. I can overlap ponds and water ways. I've only "hidden" one animal facility and it worked like a charm. I'm thrilled about the prospect of being able to stack my overcrowded facilities to free up more real estate. It now takes days to accomplish what used to take weeks.

The only items i still need to use the paths with are flowers and trees, but I'm sure the purple or orange glove will take care of that in the future.

BRAVO DEVS!

I had requested a refund once set around wondering why I had not received it yet and then found I had an email from them asking me a question before they could complete the request. The email was in my Junk mail, if you have not already, you might check that.

As far as the glove conversation, I am still on the fence about it. Seams to me from reading in here the main reason people are getting them is to be able to hide some of the facilities, I can see this as space serving method, but what happened to the idea of using them for decorating the farm? Then they say well if we hide them, then we can decorate the farm with all the other things. I guess I will just stay on the fence and eventually fall one way or the other.

I have used it for overlapping mountains to move them closer together with less space between the peaks without having to use paths to do so. I love it. I used it to set my facilities closer together to make them look like one building as some do have a similar construction. I have also set a few animal buildings out on the edge of the farm to make more room for crops. And of course settin water items over paths as well as overlapping them to make them look like continuos warterways.
Personally I love the gloves.

One request for the devs ... PLEASE release the Halloween decorations earlier than usual. I need to stock up on scary caves.

Thanks!
