I visited my NeoHome this morning and couldn't see some of the things in my NeoGarden. Today, the Sponderolas and Colour lillies and White lulus and Zoba mints and Dunkydoos have all but vanished, and I think Sillie daisy also went on a reducing diet, as did Gardenias and Kau slips and Exploding pod plants. Ouch! TNT have shrunk them! It certainly makes it hard to design and maintain a garden! And this isn't the first time. I once had a hedge of Rowzez, and then suddenly I had a straggly line of little rowzez-like weeds. I had to go back and buy lots more Rowzez to make up for the damage. And Perfumed mallows and Pebeanjay flowers and Star of paradise flowers and Glass roses were also downsized. Anyone know why TNT are doing this? And especially why they're doing this, instead of making the broken items, e.g. Mighty Marigolds, work? Are Dragonbuds, Orb plants, Bluebells, Furrns, and Yolkalias next?

I just hope they don't touch the Fishing garden items. I haven't finished my garden yet

Good use of the Fishing items! But I was really trying to create formal gardens for my NH and I had some very nice arrangements which are now all shot to flinders. It's so frustrating to have to rebuild, and it seems like even more of a waste of time than mapping out every single scroll rack in my copy of the Scroll Repository would have been -- because it's all going to change again anyway. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I want to bother to fix the gardens, maybe I'll just put my pets up for adoption and donate my stuff to my little brother and close my account. I know I'm whining over something really stupid, but this just about kills the game for me.

Has it happened again? A bunch of my gardens were destroyed the first time and I never went back and fixed them: now I'm glad I didn't.

But I agree. Gardens are very hard to make as it is. I don't need the stress of having to totally redo them every few months when TNT decides to shrink some more flowers.

Heh, well, they have been messing with NeoHome items too. Like the little Veespa petpet bed, they shrunk it, and the disco sink, now it has a red square around it. And the playpens, after years they are suddenly huge. I pity anyone who used them as tile. Which they looked cool as. My mom has a yellow bedroom set. They shrunk the couch, while the dresser is as long as the bed and the chair is really small. Huh?

Gardens can be frustrating to plot and set up because as you move flowers closer to the front of the garden they become HUGE and anything further back looks absurdly small. I'd rather they resized or changed the way things look in the gardens so it's more "equal" in proportion.

Neohomes I have the same problem. Some furniture is so tiny and other pieces are way too big. The quiguki rug from last year's advent I love, but if you put it in your neohome it's kind of silly looking, it's so big. Same with this year's tiki decoration. That thing is humungus! and the face on it doesn't show. Really weird looking. I think alot of the furniture needs tweaking for size so a table isn't bigger than a sofa, a rug isn't either miniscule or huge compared to the other items in the room.

These are the reasons I completely destroyed my neohome. I found it way too frustrating to try to design anything when nothing seems to be the correct proportions in relation to the room itself or in relation to other items. If they ever were to redo things so that items are the correct size, I may reconsider making a neohome, as I do like a ton of neohome items and I think it has the potential to be a fun project to work on.

Oh, YEAH! You are so right! One spiky bush in the front looks two or three times too wide compared to the back!



Yes, things aren't scaled perfectly. There's nothing quite like buying a "Iron large drawer" and thinking it's going to be the same size as a "Blue and orange drawer" or a "Orange jelly drawers" -- they look interchangeable when you buy them in a shop, but wow, not at all the same in a NeoHome.

OMG, I hope TNT doesn't start resizing everything, think of the NP people have invested in their Neohome collages! If TNT did to the furniture what they've done to the flowers, all those special places in the NeoHome spotlight would be wrecked! EEK!

Simple solution: Stop making sizes for furniture. Let the user resize the furniture to their size of choice.

Well, it's a simple idea, but I don't know about coding it

Yeah, even when I can get furniture to scale with other furniture, it's still much smaller than the room on average. I agree that there should be a simple resize option where you can click and drag a corner of an item and squish and stretch it to your heart's content. I can't see how easy that would be to implement, but I've seen it done elsewhere often enough.

Aw, that sucks. I've had problems with Neohomes/Neogardens too; I had one on my old account, but for some reason the Checked Green Elephante Bed, which was my favorite item and absolutely perfect for my pet's bedroom, got broken and not fixed. Over. Four. Months. Of. Waiting.

Dx

And so much of the stuff is misproportioned. I have not started a Neohome on my current account and probably never will.
