The Art of Hiding Tennis Court Farms

nosajed

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.

Somewhere around 12-15 are cleverly hidden around my Springfield.

I only have 12 courts.
All in the open, but out at sea:

So, ummm... where are you hiding all your training walls then?

I've got about 50 with about 40 of them hidden. The only property that has multiple visible right now is the country club, which has 4. They fit nicely behind most of the Heights buildings and the larger Springfield buildings like the wax museum or Claus Co. It was actually easier than I thought it would be to place them once I finally got started (still decorating but everything is laid out). Lots of buildings hide two like the Shop or most mansions. I wish I had picked up like 15-20 more. Now that would have been a challenge.

You're close to mine too neighbor. I have 50 along my SF boardwalk where I made a gigantic stadium and I have 50 hidden around my town.

With 250 of them, I give up on the idea of hiding...

Why would you need to even hide them?.....

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?

I only got one. Is there any other stuff that gives hidden bonuses?

I lined my Springfield Heights with them (have about 30 including one I paid d'nuts for) since all of the high rises (especially the parking garages and the Business Centers hide them well. Plus I like to have those tall buildings at the back of my properties since they block so much else out.

@Toddestan : While I was hiding my tenniscourts, I put some trainingwalls in storage. I planned to put them somewhere else later on, but I noticed my righteousness didn't go down. Just out of curiosity I storaged all my trainingwalls and my righteousness is still 100%. Maybe it will go down later on, but for now, I'm happy!

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.

Ahhhh yes, a purely speculative thread. I see a lot of great ideas and posts, but no pics. I guess it just didn't happen then.

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!

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.

Hi!

Not that I know of. There are lots of things with multipliers, but the multipliers are all shown when I click the info button for that item in the store.

Tennis courts had that multiplier visible (with the info button) for a few days, but then the multiplier text changed and the multiplier was -- as you say -- hidden. Yet, they kept giving multipliers for subsequently-made tennis courts.

First time I've ever seen that happen.

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.

Bueraner04

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!

Even if you do "hide it" the tennis court still takes up land so I don't see a point.
