anyone not getting more presents to drop? Theory.

Lovely person and neighbor if you're talking about Sue. That sounds like her to me.

Hopefully this won't be a duplicate post - I tried to post something a few minutes ago but something glitched.

Before you take the measure of selecting naughty for gifts dropped behind things, please keep in mind that this may not be intentional. Yesterday I made it a point to make sure I dropped presents in front of stuff or in an open space, but it didn't seem to matter and a couple of gifts ended up behind things. It was not intentional at all and completely beyond my control. Luckily I was able to tell the neighbour that happened with.

Ha! I just mentioned you Sue. Ok will reconsider, but I'm stuck, can't find 5 gifts, so I can't give gifts. I go to the ocean and they always land there in plain view.

EDIT: was it Mathm? I guessed that was you

If you click on your inventory button, you can make your buildings see through. I did that way back, when we had the whacking day event with the snakes.

Awww thanks John!

No - the neighbour Math was speaking of is not me.

can someone confirm you choose placement? i thought they dropped randomly near the LZ. i haven't tried aiming, i just drop 'em

Now we have to find a little itty bitty package? And probably not out in the open? It is hard enough to find green snakes moving on green grass.

And you can control the placement?

you can if you drop in the ocean. I've been testing for two days.

I have a feeling that Sue would be a wonderful neighbor to have, but this neighbor is Starstrucsims and she always sends me a pm about where to find her prezzies. It was totally her idea and I want to give her credit for coming up with it. It may be something that others want to try with the challenge of trying to find presents this event.

you can zoom anywhere to drop. I've only been testing with the ocean with feeder towns and they are always exactly where I dropped them
