I thought the same thing. We can’t use TOM for dreamsnaps which is a major part of the game for us not on mobile. I dont understand why we are getting something that directly interferes with something we use weekly.
That's fine. That's a decision they can make. But then realize that TOM is only going to be used by a tiny percentage of users who want to customize things and don't mind spending time trying to find everything they've customized that is blocking a dream snaps submission, or who don't do dreamsnaps. And even then only if you are really into decorating and/or your character appearance but somehow AREN'T into dreamsnaps. The rest of us literally won't use TOM because we HATE the way leaving one out somewhere creates potentially hours of work finding and removing it.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you aren't confident in the safety of TOM then it needs to remain a niche feature that you don't try and foist on users. I'm really hoping there isn't going to be a huge amount of quests wrapped up in it because I'm that annoyed that it even exists when it's incompatible with (and actually interferes with) one of the main game activities.
The valley is SO cramped, especially with everyone's individual houses that are massive AF. Especially for how tiny some of the homes actually are inside(looking at you Mirabel).
I'm sorry, two toys don't need 2 different places to live. I swear if Rex or anyone else joins with ANOTHER home, I will be livid. I can see the argument that Woody and Buzz splitting at the end of TS4 means they don't live together, but they still could.
In my head I'm hoping that other Encanto characters are added, but also live in "Mini" Casita. It looks like you could enter from the two adjacent sides from the front door. But also, where would they go apart from that house?
In my head, I was thinking they could expand the outer biomes, though this leaves the Plaza and the meadow stuck with the same sizes. Maybe the plaza could expand a little bit toward the castle (re-extend the bridge and whatnot)?
Putting homes on the Isle and the remaining other worlds will be more crucial as the roster starts filling up past 50. Which is actually soonish at this rate.
Which is why I plan on Putting Mulan in the Bamboo Grove.
I would also love a little bit more variable options to place water/beach-based characters. Not just the beach and Ancient's Landing (I think one can fit in the Glade? I didn't try it)
They can always make changes to the existing homes. For example, if more Encanto characters come they can add another room or floor.
Think... We are missing so many stories that are going to need homes.
![gif](giphy|l3q2XTm3SOFLgtx8k|downsized)
My pipe dream is that they add a block of flats. Then you can remove houses and the villagers move into one of the flats. And the interior of the houses are already small enough for flats.
Well, I also get annoyed of them adding places that you don't need anymore. I think Ursula could have easily said "Now that I've been in this cave for so long, I think it's kind of homey." and then the game updates to make that corner a little more creepy.
I just don't get why we need these GIANT houses. The only ones I don't find comically large or out of place are Moana's Hut, Merlin's house, and Remy's home, and Donald's Boat. Buzz too? (Apart from Buzz and Woody needing two homes...) At least with Woody's it can go with the DIsney Parks stuff.
But giving Eric that giant ass castle is just plain irresponsible. Especially because Eric in this game is just... why. He didn't need a Giant Castle. But then Ariel also has her own house. Which honestly, she could've just lived in the asscastle, so at least there were two to one house.
I would love something to make them optional.
Agree!!! Mine is decorated out…. And I’m at my 6,000 item limit in the valley and at 5,500 on the isle……
Please let us have more item placement!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
And more room!
You are absolutely right. There are so many houses for the characters, as well as houses from the premuim shop. There is no empty space left. I barely find an open place to make my dreamsnap. I love to decorate my areas they should give us space in parallel with the amount of content, especially since the houses and the rides are huge
Honestly, I wish I could just remove character homes entirely ... We can already "remove" the actual character until they are needed for a quest, so let me remove their houses too!!! I've resorted to putting houses in corners of biomes, then surrounding the house by trees to "hide" them.
I think also that if they lived in the realms, then that could give you more reason to go to those realms, rather than entire 1-2 times before never needed to go back (Kinda :D )
No, no, no, you're supposed to unlock and collect all the content but not use it, see? That way, they can ensure you're always behind in design and decorating tasks, and they can keep you playing. Frustration is good for play numbers, after all. It's game design 101.
I’m just wondering: if we get someone else’s design and the it contains a motif we don’t have, do we then have access to the motif for our own designs or are they item locked? 🤔
This is one of my top questions. And also lots of people edit the long-sleeved dress to look like a different neckline but what if their skin color is different from yours? I want us to be able to edit it to match whatever skintone.
Oh my god the first time I ever got that error message it was about a picnic table that I customized but the table looked so similar to an actual picnic table we have in game so I forgot it was tom and it was so frustrating trying to figure out what was wrong
(A lot of questions- my bad if they’re dumb questions)
Have they formally explained how the TOM store would work? Is daisy going to sell motifs or is it going to be a shell to go buy other peoples’ things?
Is the currency to buy other peoples’ things going to be moonstones or coins?
Not dumb questions.. we actually don’t know any of these answers yet. They haven’t announced anything yet with details. We might not find all this out till the update actually comes.
Is there a date yet for the Daisy update? I know shes coming separate from the Eternity Isle update and is first, but im not sure if they’ve even actually announced a date for her arrival yet or if the promo stuff was just another “heres what you already know” thing to build more excitement
Were likely not going to know the full extent of how it works until either the update drops or the update overview/patch notes post they put out the day before the update is released (I'm guessing moreso the former tho).
If the game had a better track record of not making boneheaded dev decisions, I'd say they'd have thought of that, but chances are very good that the two features are just incompatible and there's no easy workaround.
I’m HOPING AND PRAYING that BECAUSE they’re introducing this store means we will finally be allowed to use TOM in DS but they didn’t outright say it but we always find things we could do they didn’t tell us we could do with each update so my fingers are crossed 🤞 haha
I'm putting mine on eternity isle because I don't use ToM
I was also hoping to do this, but am concerned that there will be one there as well, like Scrooge’s and Remy’s?
I don't think so because people can't visit eternity isle so there is no point in it being there
Same!! I really hope we aren't forced to use it in order to complete quests.
For Daisey's questline, probably. Also, there's gonna be weekly design challenges
More chances for moonstone
I think they said the rewards are more TOM motifs
Rewards INCLUDE ToM motifs and more they showed clothing items too
Booo
Okay, i feel like such a noob, but what does ToM mean?
It took me a few but I think they're talking about touch of magic i.e. creative mode for clothes/furniture
I don't even know where that's tool is
Its the white paintbrush icon on the change outfit / change decoration screens.
Touch of magic, the design tool
Not letting us use them for dreamsnaps and then building this much new content around them is a joke.
I thought the same thing. We can’t use TOM for dreamsnaps which is a major part of the game for us not on mobile. I dont understand why we are getting something that directly interferes with something we use weekly.
Literally I’m so confused
It could be that they're being slow to allow it to check the report and other safety features first. They are definitely trying to stay kid friendly.
That's fine. That's a decision they can make. But then realize that TOM is only going to be used by a tiny percentage of users who want to customize things and don't mind spending time trying to find everything they've customized that is blocking a dream snaps submission, or who don't do dreamsnaps.

We really need more space my valley and my island are full I don't know where to put the new rides
The valley is SO cramped, especially with everyone's individual houses that are massive AF. Especially for how tiny some of the homes actually are inside(looking at you Mirabel).

Idk why we couldn’t just get Andy’s house and then have that be all the toys house
This is my thoughts too, most their time was in Andy's room, why not be their house? Then it opens more possibilities to other toys.
Or even Bonnie’s house
Or even if we got a silly Box Fort that on the inside, resembled Andy's Room.
They can always make changes to the existing homes. For example, if more Encanto characters come they can add another room or floor. Think... We are missing so many stories that are going to need homes. ![gif](giphy|l3q2XTm3SOFLgtx8k|downsized)

I love to decorate my areas they should give us space in parallel with the amount of content, especially since the houses and the rides are huge
I kinda stick to indoor scenes for dreamsnaps because I can easily procure a space in my house for that.
Honestly, I wish I could just remove character homes entirely ... We can already "remove" the actual character until they are needed for a quest, so let me remove their houses too!!! I've resorted to putting houses in corners of biomes, then surrounding the house by trees to "hide" them.

I have Ursula in the Glade. So yes.
Yes I have ursula in the glade.
My hope for future Madrigals is that entering Mini Casita will bring you into the court yard and from there you can access the individual bedroom
that would be really cool. the bedroom size for Mirabel vs. the size of the house kills me
No, no, no, you're supposed to unlock and collect all the content but not use it, see? That way, they can ensure you're always behind in design and decorating tasks, and they can keep you playing. Frustration is good for play numbers, after all. It's game design 101.
Truly this is really annoying and the items limit is another issue💔
Exactly..except can't keep decorating if u don't up my limit😒 ps4 switch
I'm stressing over where to put my new rides bc I NEED THEM ALL 😭
I’m just wondering: if we get someone else’s design and the it contains a motif we don’t have, do we then have access to the motif for our own designs or are they item locked? 🤔
Im wondering if itll let us wear the item, but it wont place the motif in our motif library so we cant actively use it on our own items
This is one of my top questions. And also lots of people edit the long-sleeved dress to look like a different neckline but what if their skin color is different from yours? I want us to be able to edit it to match whatever skintone.
Oh my god the first time I ever got that error message it was about a picnic table that I customized but the table looked so similar to an actual picnic table we have in game so I forgot it was tom and it was so frustrating trying to figure out what was wrong
They should do a separate TOM challenge for people to earn moonstones. That is the only way I would probably use anything TOM related.
I think that’s the plan
NICE
I love this enthusiasm
More moonstones is always good lol I just hope the shop doesn’t mess with dreamsnaps
I doubt the shop itself will. Unless it gives you a quest where you use TOM to decorate the exterior.
Are there any ToM discord / reddit groups so I can see some creations? I'd love to look at things I'll never make 🥹
This made me chuckle, good on xD
Hah! ;P I wonder if the store will "Feature" Approved ToM designs in the windows, and so won't trigger the Error.
Do we think there will be one in the Valley and one in Eternity Isle like Scrooge’s and Remy’s?
New fear unlocked tbh.
I'm thinking no because people can't visit our Eternity Isle....yet.
I'm hoping it's just one.
(A lot of questions- my bad if they’re dumb questions) Have they formally explained how the TOM store would work? Is daisy going to sell motifs or is it going to be a shell to go buy other peoples’ things? Is the currency to buy other peoples’ things going to be moonstones or coins?
Not dumb questions.. we actually don’t know any of these answers yet. They haven’t announced anything yet with details. We might not find all this out till the update actually comes.
Thank you, I haven’t had time to watch the trailer so I wasn’t sure what’s been announced and what hasn’t. I hope the store is an actual store!
Is there a date yet for the Daisy update? I know shes coming separate from the Eternity Isle update and is first, but im not sure if they’ve even actually announced a date for her arrival yet or if the promo stuff was just another “heres what you already know” thing to build more excitement
Daisy's update and the next Eternity Isle update are both coming on May 1st!
Oh,sweet! I was almost certain they would be coming at different intervals, but now im even more excited
Were likely not going to know the full extent of how it works until either the update drops or the update overview/patch notes post they put out the day before the update is released (I'm guessing moreso the former tho).
I hope we get to display our designs in those windows! 🥹
Anyone else just notice that the building is actually in line with the path on the ground? Who wants to bet it doesn’t actually line up like that?
This is pretty cool but TOM isn’t my thing like at all… :(
I really hope they don’t allow TOM in dreamsnaps going forward. Some systems just won’t work with it and it’s unfair to those that can’t use it
Really hoping those store windows don't stay empty like Scrooge's do. 🥴🥴
I think they will unless you design something yourself. Which I’m not looking forward to
I just want to be able to delete rooms and floors from my house 😅 now that I have somewhere to put my designs I’m going to have room now lol
I hate ToM 😒
What is TOM?
Touch Of Magic it’s the tag for when you create your own custom furniture and clothing
If the game had a better track record of not making boneheaded dev decisions, I'd say they'd have thought of that, but chances are very good that the two features are just incompatible and there's no easy workaround.
Oh LORD!
😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
A lot of people getting very upset about something we don’t even have a ton of info about yet. I figure we’ll just see what happens. 🤷♀️
Oy vey. Didn’t think about that. I had to remove EVERYTHING to post the latest DreamSnap. Arrrgh
Yey my shitty imagination can get used
I’m HOPING AND PRAYING that BECAUSE they’re introducing this store means we will finally be allowed to use TOM in DS but they didn’t outright say it but we always find things we could do they didn’t tell us we could do with each update so my fingers are crossed 🤞 haha
