The Art of Hiding Tennis Court Farms

I only got 5 and they're out in the open.

I would really like to see a picture of this, intrigued to see how people can hide something of that size.
  • they are surprisingly easy to hide.

    i just started to redesign my town a bit and hid tennis courts at the same time and i was able to hide quite a bit with the very little redesigning i did.

    some will go in the back yards of the rich peoples houses as well.

    LMFAO!! Purely Speculative. So true, so true :)

    Pics or it didn't happen!
  • I got 70 of them. 6 are out in SH, the other 64 are in a single-file line on the far right side of my Springfield. I am in the process of redesign, so I hope to hide at least some of them. I don't know how I'm going to hide even half of them, but it's an interesting challenge.

    Well come on, Jim! What's the point of pictures if the courts are hidden? They would just be pictures of random buildings! :D

    I could post a picture of a pay phone booth, and say i hid a tennis court behind it. Would that verify it happened? Lol

    I have courts hidden behind each of the SH business centers, behind the Wax Museum, behind the... Hey i forgot where they all are!

    I also hide all my Christmas trees and elf stuff that pays money. And the training walls. And those psycho grinning train engines! Lots of hidden stuff.

    I think in total i got 6 hidden courts and three in sight. But if they open more SH land, I'll make a tennis center with them. There's some great designs here combining them with the country club. Looking forward to more land.

    Because some people prefer realistically designed towns, rather than a collection of decorations. Trying to conform to the self-imposed limitations of realism adds and extra level of difficulty.

    This is why I'm extra happy that my monorail doesn't have a single pillar out in a road. It wasn't easy, but i challenged myself to do it, wasnt sure if it was possible, but succeeded.
  • there is only one solution (not only for the court problem).

    bonus multiplier should still apply when you put the items in storage.

    Please EA, please. It is time! :D

    because if you have hundreds of them and have limited space (to see your stuff), why not hide it where land becomes a premium. Those space aren't going to be used anyways. Why not use it? :wink:


    Even if you do "hide it" the tennis court still takes up land so I don't see a point.
  • Right now, most of my building are hiding training walls and Khav Kalasha Stands. I have a few of them adorning various mansions. The rest of them are in my Springfield Heights junk drawer.
  • I have one. I unlocked the ability to purchase them the day before they were removed. I hope they come back, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
