Unfortunately these items are not where I would like them, but until all 100 of my friends figure it out I guess this ill have to do.

If they are forum regulars they'll eventually pick up on the signals, and know what to look for.Hopefully of this goes well one of the moderators can sticky this or something.

Maybe use a morse code type of thing:rectangle hedges = dashesgrey trash cans = dotsTile = T = dash = hedgeCorn = C = dash dot dash dot = hedge can hedge canChannel 6 = 6 = dash dot dot dot can = hedge can can can canStage = S = dot dot dot = can can canItems required are cheap and don't take up too much space.Reference:http://www.learnmorsecode.com/pix/CW.gif

Morse Code with the hedges and cans is brilliant!! That said, it feels like the average user is Ralph and doesn't read the forum. You have to spell it out and even convince them why to tap. For my friends nobody tapped my boardwalk with just an arrow so I had to write out in fences "for lots XP, tap B. tiles" before they regularly tapped them.

Hehe, true enough.Personally, even if something like the morse code thing became the norm, I wouldn't use it in my Springfield, as I am not fussed about what my neighbors tap, as long as they are visiting and tapping something. If they do happen to hit the tile or whatever, then that's just all the better. :)I do however watch for signs like that when I am visiting someone else. I always check for the Squidport tile first, then go hunting for the others, even if that means spending a few extra moments looking around (though admittedly if I don't find what I am looking for after so long, I will just try to find long-term buildings to click, if nothing else). Sure, it may take me like an hour to get through everyone, but eh...I don't really mind.

Only of more players visited the forum. It would've made this far easier lol

By the way, the topiary angel has a harp ... Would that work as a symbol for the stage?

I can get in on this. Please add me I will follow the signals. I can't get my neighbors to tap my damn corn!

The broken down washer/dryer for Cletus' Farm, a weather station for Channel 6, 4 Squidport/wooden fence pieces arranged in a square and the graffiti hand brick wall for the Stage. I'm not overly fussed on the brick wall but after going through the decorations list I couldn't find anything else remotely music/sound related looking. Feel free to love or hate or change any of it. I'm just throwing out ideas haha. Sorry it's so big, it didn't want to resize for some reason

Thanks for taking the time to come up with some very good ideas. I think they are very good, but let's see what else gets presented. If nothing else comes up and people give a positive reaction it'll definitely go up :D

yeah... the only problem is that I have maxed out the SP tile, don't have the stage, and the corn is still growing.. :-)
haha...

Ok, joking.. your idea is good, but what is missing is the direction.. I mean, with such big SF I have seen, scrolling all around the map to look for the Farm, the SP tile, and the other stuff will take a while if not placed closed together...

but in any case I', placing the SP fences with the Stop, and the farm\washer

I think Cookie covered the direction issue by using the square area where the marker items are placed as a sort of compass.

The only trouble I see with these signals/markers (even my suggestion) is that most folks don't want to clutter their pretty towns with oddball/out-of-place items. Same reasoning applies to grouping the "stackables" together. Not everyone wants their station, farm and stage right next to their Squidport.

Yes, it makes it easier for visitors, but at the cost of individuality and/or having an aesthetically pleasing Springfield
