Hi Nick

Some more questions about the interior/furniture for the ranch and island cottage.

Will there also be doorframe walls like what you see in Natalie's house?
These will be useful for creating rooms.

Thank you (^o^)

walls with a window opening would also be nice to be able to buy. been busy figuring out how to extend the ranch house out back all the way to the river to enlarge the house so a wall with a side facing the viewer with exterior appearance would also be nice one day

Great idea, Dutchgirl. I am also wishing for large rectangle rugs with various patterns, like you see in some houses in the commons, or houses we visit during xmas event etc. (same in size as the zebra rug we have) Would be a nice asset to our ranch and island houses.

That too. Rectangle rugs. These are comfy in real life.

Hi Nick,

Just downloaded this game in preparation of flash ending and I'm wondering if there is any way that the developer's could make the cameras perspective closer and more like it is on the website version?

With my vision as it is, even going full screen doesn't help that much and chat is even that much harder to see. I'm a longtime player and a big fan of this game but this is going to be a big issue for me.

I am trying to find the many ranch suggestions I posted on forum last year.

Some suggestions were for a door to open plus a doorbell that works,,also pick our own color for the door ,,blinds for windows and or curtains..,,,change the exterior color of house/roof.(choose from list of colors as well) oh yeah and a chimney with active smoke coming out of it..).Name our ranch (Barb's Ranch)on a big sign. Planter boxes of various sizes..

The list was endless...

Also good suggestions from ppl above....as well!!!

Walls with door frames is a great idea! I'll note it down and see if we can add some in a future update. Thanks for the suggestion!

That's a neat idea! I'll note this down. Sounds like you've got some serious ranch renovations planned :D

I would love to see another opportunity for players to have an upcoming NPC named after them, with the outfit of their choice from current inventory. When this was initially offered the one time it was done for an extra life incentive, game content was rolling out more quickly. This time, depending on Georgia, it could be less time consuming in the short run, and something that could be offered for a premium purchase. I understand it was a very popular redemption item at the time.

I would even be happy with an Attic for our treasures or a basement for our junk. lol That way we don't have to have an extension for our house.

Very fair concern! However, there are ways! If you're using Windows 10, there's a Magnifier app built in that you can use.

And I believe a similar thing for Mac:

I hope that helps!

A doorbell is a great idea, and I think it's pretty feasible with the system! I've made sure it's noted down.

Blinds and curtains you can choose the colour of would be excellent additions as well! We'll see if Georgia can whip some of those up.

I've been meaning to add a few things you can set a custom tooltip on, like a big sign or whathaveyou. Great ideas!

Nick just a question regarding opening the zip file for the download version. I had a free trial for a popular app, but it expired. Are there other zip openers that you could recommend?

It was a very neat incentive! Thanks for bringing it up again. We'll see about doing it next year.
