Farm Town Hills - A Farm Design Optical Illusion

When you start out in Farm Town you get a nice, square, flat farm to work with that has no diversity in the geography. Not very realistic, but ideal. However, if you want to add some hills to your farm, there are some clever users that have found a way to do so. Or at least make it appear as if this is so. It is an optical illusion created by the way in which items are placed next to each other that makes it look like you have a hill.

How To Make Hills in Farm Town Method 1: Crates and Flowers



First place a box down, then a flower in front of it to help cover the box. This will represent the bottom of the hill that is at a lower level. Next, to create the illusion of the top of the hill, you will need to place another flower one space away from the box, and one space up. This is a difficult process to describe but if you view the above image, you should see how this all comes together. After setting up the first box and set of flowers you will probably not "see" it just yet, but after adding several it will become more apparent. Finish this easily by closing off to a border of your farm.


How To Make Hills in Farm Town Method 2: Hedges

Making hills with hedges looks pretty nice, and you don't have to plant flowers in front of them like you do boxes, which we did in order to hide that it is a box. The hedge looks like a very good organic structure that could be the side of a hill. Again, we take the same concept as before and apply it to these hedges.



As you can see, I'm standing "on top" of the hill in this picture. This one shows the end result a little better than the previous picture because it is closed off on the ends. The most important part is to not place anything behind the shrub so that it gives away that it is not elevated. Also, placing the flowers on top make it quite convincing.
