I would love to be able to turn all decorations in any direction also it would be sweet if they could touch, probably asking for too much there lol... but why can't they turn/face in any direction?

Did you see the video the team made for the last round of Developer's Q and A?Quote:

i will try to find the link
I did not see the Q and A, but think, if not everything could swivel 360, it would at least be nice to have a bench that faces the river.
Cami said they don't design the back view of the deco so it would mean they'd have to start doing that and redesign the existing deco. She didn't sound keen!
Previously though during one of the 'Ask me anything' sessions, there was another technical reason stated, but I'm struggling to remember what it was. Annoyingly it seemed reasonable.
What they would have to do is design two different benches--the one we have which rotates 90 degrees giving us two directions, the other that would offer the "back" view that gives us the other two directions. I would be more than willing to buy "front" benches and "back" benches. I agree that it is really sad that we can't sit and look at the river.
Indeed, I believe it has only been the benches I have yearned to turn for eons :rolleyes: since the town opened, at least
maybe we can put it on the next developers q and a... Just the benches?
OMG, it's nice to see I'm not the only one who's been annoyed by this. I've always wanted to set up a sitting area with the benches by the dock! LolQuote:

I agree that this would be a problem. However, personally, I would be delighted to give up the space taken up by all those instruments I never wanted in exchange for the back views of the brown and white benches.Quote:

The placement of the objects is based on a grid, and thus can't be placed on top of each other.
I hope this helps! :)
