Fun Tip: try screen casting TSTO

Hi all!

I recently visited a friend without home internet service, so everything he does on the web is thru his phone. But, he uses it like a touch screen remote while watching everything on his big smart TV. He's screen mirroring.

So i tried it with TSTO, and wow! The town is huge!! It was a fun new twist to play on a 50" screen. So many graphic details i was seeing for the first time! (Really helpful if you're far sighted like me)

Of course the resolution isn't larger, so you can't zoom out more, which i do really need. I can't redesign my town easily enough anymore, the areas i want to move are just too large. Hopefully they'll improve this someday, but i doubt it.

Anyway, i just wanted to mention it. I'd never tried it before and it was fun when i did.

Obviously every phone has a slightly different method to enable it, but i hope you are able to try it. Discussion is welcome on this subject.

Happy tapping!

    I have used screen mirroring on my 60" smart tv when I want to show off my town to someone else. However for some strange reason, they are never as excited about TSTO as I am, so it isn't very long before the tv is back to regular programming. It works with both my phone and 8" tablet. I usually play on the tablet so I don't really need to use screen mirroring. It is pretty cool, though.

    No they aren't are they? Don't they recognize we spent more time creating this than Michaelangelo did on that one little ceiling job???
  • Well I have done it with my 50 inch TV through mirroring and my family say ‘switch the channel over please’! No appreciation for TSTO.

    I wouldn’t benefit from doing this on anything approaching a regular basis, but it was kinda neat to the TSTO screen mirrored on my TV. This was indeed a fun tip. Thanks for the post.

  • I tried it before for fun. But cannot play well as cannot really see where I am tapping :smile:
