The Nutcracker Farm Beauty Contest, new Christmas Guests, Darryl's House Decorations and more

 (Above, Marie on a Horse and The Nutcracker Prince when they are not set on the Snow Base.  Their animations by themselves are wonderful... they change completely when they are placed together on the base as you will see below.)

(Above, the Festive Angel and Wind-Up Reindeer when they are placed on the Base together with their Christmas Backdrop which actually represents curtains on a stage.  On the base, the Backdrop glows with multi-coloured lights.  The Festive Angel attempts to nudge the Reindeer into action in vain... finally does so by blowing her horn.)


(Above, the original Snow Base premium decorations in the form of the Snow Magician and Bunny Snow Girl.  He removes his top hat with a flourish and produces confetti snowflakes.)

Please be patient with me.  There are quite a few new options in Seaside that I wish to address, but have not had time today.

As of Saturday, 8 December, you will find a complete section for the new Nutcracker Farm Beauty Contest, including Theme list, at the end of this post.  As of Thursday, 12 December, have been able to add the items that now finally appear in the Lucky Wheel.  They were a little late in changing the Decorations available there.

At this point, I simply wish for players to be aware of the new options to merge furniture items in the Factory using Snowflakes gained by inviting the temporary Christmas Guests.  Two of these are Theme items for Darryl's House in the Farm Beauty Contest.  Another is an old Seaside Decoration that is included in the Theme List as well.  There are three star levels of Guests and you invite them by tapping on the little icon on the bottom left of the ordinary Guest Map of Mootopia.  When any passport is used, you can refresh to obtain another by paying 150 TC or wait until reset.  Unfortunately, you receive only one Passport per day, to be used on whichever Star group you choose, unlike regular Passports, where 1 and 2 Star are each issued on a daily basis and 3 Star every week.  I have listed sets of Orders from all three Star Levels below.  Please understand these are the Orders I received on my farm and Orders will vary slightly from farm to farm.  It does give a fairly good idea of the items they will need as well as the quantities, however, which is why I include them.

My instinct would be to use your Passport for the 3 Star Guests once they are unlocked.  Chip gives 8 Orders and four Rewards.. if, however, you are a lower level farmer who struggled always with extra tasks, the fact that the Guests require items that are needed elsewhere at present may make your choice a more cautious one.

Note that the Christmas items that can be merged in the Factory include new items of furniture for Darryl's House but there are Seaside items, including the Xmas Tree.  The old Xmas Tree is really a base for the ornaments that can be merged in the Factory as well.  These were available in the same fashion, through the Factory a couple of years ago.  It is good that they have renewed the option.

The Nutcracker Farm Beauty Contest for the first time in any Beauty Contest is including items for Darryl's House in the Theme List.  Some of these can be merged in the Factory but others must be purchased.

Please note that two of the four Darryl's House items that are included in the Theme List can be created by merging them in the Factory.  The other two are cash purchases from the internet, as opposed to using existing RC.  You therefore can increase theme by 2 votes from each of 3 Characters per day (a total increase of 6 points) by merging the Christmas Armchair and Christmas Table in the Factory.

The Nutcracker Farm Beauty Contest
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Introduction
xxxxxxxxxx

This post is designed to allow you to gain as many Votes as possible from the four characters by maximising your own Farm to achieve the highest number of Votes in every Category.

The Farm Beauty Contest can be confusing and difficult for new player.  Often, they are unaware of their own ability to increase the Votes from the 4 Characters to the point where they can obtain the Reward Decoration without any votes from their Neighbours.  It requires a little planning.  This post was created to show you how to do precisely that.  Every aspect of the Farm Beauty Contest as well as the rules by which each Category operates is covered here.

Remember ALWAYS that the votes you receive from the Characters are based on your current 'Snapshot'.  If you change your farm to obtain more votes, always take a new photograph or Character votes will not change!  You do not need to take a photograph more than once, however, if you set up your farm for maximum Character votes at the very start.

One more point about the 'Snapshot'.  If you play on more than one device, you may see your Photograph only on the device you were using when you submitted it.  Do not fret about this!  It remains valid for the duration of the Contest, even if you do not see it on your other devices.

Working now on the Theme List with values in terms of Theme Votes as well as where and how to obtain each.  This Contest gives multiple vote values to many old Decorations and each of the new premium Decorations always give multiple numbers of votes for Theme.

The quickest way to maximise theme votes, therefore, especially for a new farmer, is to pay cash for one of the new premium decorations.  They can be expensive, however, and for many farmers, earning the Reward Decoration for 4000 Votes in the Farm Beauty Contest is a long process that requires patience.  Do be aware, however, that the premium Decorations not only count for multiple votes, but give special Rewards often in the form of RC, Yellow or Blue Mystrons as well as giving the best Gift Box both to the host and to the visitor when cleaned.  Sometimes the judicious expenditure of cash in a 'free game' is worthwhile.

For a new farmer, the easiest way, however, to raise your Character vote total probably is by obtaining a couple of farm expansions and by raising your Landscape Point total to at least 2100.  I need to confirm the precise number of points now required to maximise your Landscape Point votes, but it really is worth the effort and you need not spend any premium cash to do this.  There are coin paths that will do the job.  See my section on Landscape Points below.

Knowing where you can capitalise on your own Character Votes is key to success.  For a farmer not to improve his/her farm for the Contest and then beg for votes from Neighbours ultimately is not the best strategy.... why not make the most of your own farm first?  At least then you can guarantee that you win the Reward decoration in EVERY Farm Beauty Contest as Landscape Points remain constant as do Farm Expansions.

Note from Freyashawk:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I created this site 5 years ago shortly after the game first was released.  I maintain and update it with all new Quests and new options, as well as posts like this to help players with every aspect of the game.  I may not be the best farmer in the world, but if this site is useful to you, please vote for HM. Freyashawk in the Farm Beauty Contest.  Your vote for the farm is a vote of confidence for the site.  It is not a matter of personal ego but rather the desire to make players aware of the site.  When HM. Freyashawk places in the top ten in the Farm Beauty Contest, it reminds players that both this site and my Facebook familyfarmseaside.blogspot.com page for this game exist and, one hopes, can help them with any aspects of the game when needed.  Every vote counts for rank and I appreciate your votes greatly.  I know that it requires an effort on your part to vote for HM. Freyashawk each day.  I only hope that this post helps every farmer attain the total needed for the pretty Reward Decoration. bu

I had to archive my two original Facebook Family Farm Seaside Groups because of some unpleasantness.  Dealing with Stage 3 cancer has forced me to make my own health a priority and it is not worth fighting certain battles at this point in time.  I remain dedicated to my original goal to help as many farmers with this game as I can and to remain as active as possible in the game but I find hostile confrontations neither amusing nor satisfying.  I have no desire to 'win' a confrontation with any individual and would rather simply withdraw to a safe place to continue what work I can.

Old Decorations Reissued
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The current Christmas Rush Activity Stage activity is offering the Candle Decoration, an old Calendar Reward, and now a Theme item in the contest.

The current Christmas items that can be merged in the Factory with Snowflakes earned from the Christmas Guests include the Christmas Fireplace Decoration as one of its rewards.  As this was the Reward from the 29th Farm Beauty Contest long ago, this is a great opportunity for newer farmers to obtain one of the classic Farm Beauty Contest rewards.

Purchasing the new Theme Decorations
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The three new Premium items offered in special sales bundles are Marie on a Horse, The Nutcracker Prince, and the Winter Tree Duo Background.  These are all stackable Decorations for the Snow Base and give multiple votes each day for theme.

Marie on a Horse gives 3 Votes from 3 of the Characters each day, a total of 9 votes for theme if you have not reached the maximum for Theme. The Nutcracker Prince gives 2 Votes from each of  three Characters for theme each day, which makes a total of 6 votes for theme if you have not reached maximum.   The Winter Tree Duo Background likewise will give 2 Votes from each of 3 Characters daily for theme.  All three therefore are worth a total of 21 votes daily for theme.

The Snow Base on which they can be stacked can be purchased unfinished in the Market for 3000 Coins.  You can own a total of 4 Snow Bases, but duplicates of an item do not give more Theme points.  The Snow Base is worth 1 Vote each from the three Characters daily but what this means is a total of 3 Votes.  If the developers worked this out correctly, the three new premium decorations with the Snow Base should give you maximum points for Theme without any other Theme items.

I have included photographs of all four sets of premium animated Decorations on Snow Bases above.


Note to new Farmers
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I believe that the Farm Beauty Contest still is unlocked at Level 30.  Even at that Level, it IS possible to maximise your Farm to obtain enough votes from the Characters to receive the Decoration Reward for having 4000 Votes.

You must start on the first day, however, with the best possible configuration, if you are at the lower levels and have not played long enough to have acquired many of the Theme items.

Even if you are not that concerned about your own results, you can register and help other farmers with your votes.  Even if you feel you cannot obtain a total of 4000 or 6000 votes, do your best to organise your farm for maximum votes to practice for future Contests.  If you are a low level farmer but are willing to spend a little money, purchase of the new theme decorations should make a big difference in theme totals, which could make all the difference in terms of reaching the goal of 4000 votes by the end of the contest.

COUNT YOUR TOTAL EACH DAY.  Most important are the Character Votes.  If you are reaching a total of 200, you will obtain the Decoration.

Tips:  Where Landscape Points are concerned, try to find a Buddy who is at a high level who will send you paths as Gifts.  If you are able and willing to spend RC, the Macaron Path and Pebble Paths can boost Landscape Point totals faster with less effort, but if you can place enough of the other Paths and make certain that your Decorations are within their sphere of influence, you can reach the necessary total for maximum votes in that category.

The theme list is to be found in the little red book in the Farm Beauty Contest Menu.  I publish a list of all Theme items in my post with details as to where and how they can be obtained.  Some Theme items originally were released as Mission Rewards.  In many cases, these old Missions can be activated from the Lighthouse and you can obtain the Decoration without paying RC for it.  Others can be purchased directly from the Gallery using Blue or Yellow Mystrons.  Try to do it at the start, however whenever possible and make certain that, should you improve your farm's configuration, you take a new screenshot immediately!  You do not have to take more than one screenshot during the course of the contest UNLESS you obtain items that improve the Character vote totals.

Every day counts!  Count the total number of votes you receive from the four Characters at the end of the first day of the Contest and then see how you can improve this number if, multiplied by 20 (days), you do not have 4000 Votes as the projected total.


OBTAINING THE REWARD DECORATION
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You need a total of 4000 Votes by the end of the Contest to receive the significant reward which is the Decoration.  Almost any farmer should be able to maximise the Votes of the 4 Characters to obtain this even without a single vote from a Neighbour.  You basically need a total of 200 Votes per day, although the Contest is giving an extra voting period and that reduces the total needed per day.

If you care about this, register your farm on the first day with maximum votes from the 4 Characters using the guidelines below.

For the Avatar, you need 300 votes per day, but with the recent changes in Character Votes, it is not impossible by any means to reach these totals from the Character votes alone.  If you are receiving 300 votes per day from the four Characters, you will obtain the Avatar by the end of the Contest.  To obtain 300 Votes per day from the Characters alone, you need to have reached Level 90.  If all other categories give you the maximum number of votes, Level 80 - 90 will leave you short of 300 by only 1 Vote per day, however.

VOTE CATEGORY CHANGES
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

There are two significant changes from former Contests that became active in recent Contests.  The first is the addition of Pets as a Vote category for Grandma in the form of 'pets with fancy equipment'. The second is a decrease in the totals for the Levels required for Dad's Vote for 'high level farm'.

Pet Category
xxxxxxxxxxx

The total number of Votes that can be given by Grandma for Pets is 12.  Equipment (the collars, scarves and bow ties and so on) that you forge in the Factory each count for 1 Vote.  Apparel counts for the other Votes and it does not matter if it is premium Apparel or Temporary Apparel or even duplicate Apparel.  All will count equally.  A Buddy Pet does NOT count.  That was a glitch.

PETS MUST BE OUTSIDE THE PET HOUSE TO COUNT!

In other words, to gain 12 Votes from Grandma each day for the Pet Category, you need a total of 4 Pets, each wearing a piece of equipment and 2 pieces of apparel.

Some Pets cannot use three accessories.  For example,  the Kangaroo, although you can dress them in hats, do not have the second accessory and the Kangaroo cannot be equipped with any collar or other accessory that can be forged in the Factory.  You therefore need to make certain that the four active Pets do not include a Kangaroo at the point in which the photograph is taken.

For players without premium accessories:  First make certain each has equipment.  Go to the Apparel Menu and find the 7 day hats and accessories for each pet that can be purchased for 100 TC each.  Equip four Pets each with a Hat and whatever other accessory that Pet can use and then let them loose outside.  Take your snapshot for the full 12 votes from Grandma!

High Level Farms
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This has changed a few times through the years but I only know for certain that Freyashawk at Level 117 received 15/18 votes for 'high level farm' from Dad.  At Level 120, HM. Freyashawk received 16/18 votes from Dad for 'high level farm'.   At Level 129, received 17/18 votes...  but maximum is not reached now at 130.   At Level 145, another player received 18/18 but I believe the actual level requirement for maximum votes in this category may be lower.

Basic Rules
xxxxxxxxxx

It is your current photograph of your Farm or 'snapshot' that determines the Votes from the 4 Characters in the game every day.  In previous Contests, a Theme decoration often would be counted if it had been placed on the Farm, even if it had not been registered yet.  I believe this still is true, although it is a good idea to register all theme items as quickly as possible as you do receive rewards for registration.

Balance and variety always is the key in these contests.  You need a variety of Crops, Animals, Trees, Machines and Theme Decorations on your farm to maximise the votes from the 4 Characters.  If you design your Farm for maximum votes from the 4 Characters, you should not need ANY Votes from your Neighbours to obtain the Theme Decoration Reward that requires a total of 4000 Votes by the end of the Contest.

Duplicates never have counted where Crops, Trees, Animals, Machines and Decorations are concerned.  I doubt that has changed.  The only change really is that duplicates of Pet Equipment and Apparel DO count.

Crops
xxxxx

Have at least 16 different Crops on your Farm to obtain maximum Votes from Darryl for 'variety of Crops'.  You may need less but Crops are easy to plant.  They do not have to be mature when you take the photo to count.

Trees
xxxxx

Try to have 16 different types of Trees ON YOUR FARM when you take the photograph.  Trees in the Tree Nursery will not be counted.  Again, you may need fewer than 16 types but it does not hurt to be safe to obtain maximum votes from Grandma for 'enough Trees'.

Animals
xxxxxxx

Beehives and Butterfly Houses as well as the Bat House are considered Animals so every different TYPE of Beehive or Butterfly House counts but duplicates of any type of Animal do NOT Count. You should not need a total of 16 different types of Animal to obtain maximum votes from Felicia for Animals but again, if you have 16, use them.

Machines
xxxxxxxx

In Contests in the past, you only needed a total of 12 different machines to obtain maximum Votes from Dad for Machines but this may have changed.  Players claimed that the Salad Machine gave 2 Votes instead of 1, but never confirmed that.  In any case, duplicates do not count and if you can cram 16 onto your Farm before you take the photo, better to be safe than sorry.

Expansion
xxxxxxxxx

Both Felicia and Dad give Votes for 'Big Farms'.  The good news is that you do not need many expansions on your original farm to obtain 16/16 from each of them.  A farmer who does not have even the 23 x 23 Expansion will obtain maximum 16/16 votes in this category!

Theme
xxxxxx

Only Grandma does not vote for Theme, so you have Theme Votes from three out of four farm characters.  The Theme List always can be found in the little Red Book in the Farm Beauty Contest Menu.  I will include a list below as well with the price of each Decoration if you can purchase it and how to do so in each case.

As I wrote in an earlier part of this post, it appears that purchase of the three new theme Decorations, with the addition of a Snow Base, should give ANY farmer maximum votes for Theme.  At least that is how it should be, based on the value of these new Decorations.

Gallery Registration
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Register as many items as possible BEFORE you take your photograph to maximise this Category.

Both Darryl and Grandma give Votes for Gallery... furthermore, you obtain rewards from the Gallery when you register any item.


Landscape
xxxxxxxxx

'Beautiful Paths' is the term for your Landscape Point total.  As three of the four Characters vote for this Category, it is a very good idea to have Paths on your Farm and place as many Decorations as possible within their 'sphere of influence'.  I have covered the details of Paths and Landscaping elsewhere on this site.  The better the Path, the more points you receive when Decorations are placed next to it or near it.  The Macaron Path, Pebble Path and Snow Path each are worth 50 Landscape Points.  The Snow Path no longer is available but the other two can be purchased in the Paths Menu for 1 RC each.  The Wooden Path is worth 35 Landscape Points and costs 50000 Coins.  Next best is the Forest Path worth 25 Landscape Points with a price of 15000 Coins.  If you have Buddies, however, they can send Forest Paths and Stone and Flower Paths to you.  To send, go to the Special Gifts Buddy Menu.  You can send a Stone and Flower Path to a Buddy for 4000 Coins and a Forest Path for 12000 Coins.  You actually can send a Macaron Path to a Buddy for 1 RC.  There are Buddy Level requirements for sending some of the Special Gifts.

Remember that Landscape Point total is the total of the value of ALL the Paths PLUS the Decorations that are close enough to those Paths to boost Points.

In the past, you needed less than 2300 Landscape Points to achieve maximum... not certain what the current requirement is but here are some farmers who have less than that and their results in the current contest:

1059 Landscape Points: 16/24 Votes

1421 Landscape Points: 19/24 Votes

1484 Landscape Points: 20/24 Votes

1720 Landscape Points: 21/24 Votes


How to Maximise Landscape Points
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


First of all, you will not be able to move any Paths or perhaps even set any new Paths now if you have Pets roaming about your Farm.  You must place all of them in the Pet House before you can set new Paths or move existing Paths, including Water Paths as well as those on the land.


Remember that placement of Decorations and Bases is everything.  A Decoration or Base will give additional Landscape Points only if it is placed near a Path that has not used its maximum number of Points yet.  For example, the Macaron Path can give a boost of 50 Landscape Points when Decorations are placed close to it.  Once that amount is reached, however, piling more Decorations or Bases near it counts for nothing.  Use the Move Tool to hover over various spots to see how your Landscape Points will be affected.


Pet Category
xxxxxxxxxx

This is a fairly new Category and only Grandma votes for it.  To gain 12 Votes from Grandma each day for the Pet Category, you need a total of 4 Pets, each wearing a piece of equipment and 2 pieces of apparel.  A Buddy Pet on your Farm at the time you take your photograph will NOT count.  That was a temporary glitch.

You can purchase apparel for a temporary period in order to take a snapshot that will give you more Votes for this category.

High Level Farm
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx


Only Dad gives votes for a 'high level farm'.   At Level 130, HM. Freyashawk receives 17/18 votes for a high level farm.


Here are some recent results:

Level 40: 6/18 Votes
Level 47: 6/18 Votes
Level 48: 7/18 Votes
Level 63: 8/18
Level 76: 10/18 Votes
Level 79: 10/18 Votes
Level 129: 17/18 Votes

(Thanks to my neighbours who sent this information to me about lower levels)

Darryl's House Items
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Please note that two of the four Darryl's House items that are included in the Theme List can be created by merging them in the Factory.  The other two are cash purchases from the internet, as opposed to using existing RC.

Christmas Armchair: 1 Vote each
  You can merge this in the Factory using Snowflakes.

Christmas Table: 1 Vote each
  You can merge this in the Factory using Snowflakes

Christmas Wardrobe: 1 Vote each
  This is a cash purchase from the internet.

Darryl's Christmas Tree: 1 Vote each
  This is an Exhibition Item.  You will find it in the second tab when you access the special Darryl's Christmas Menu.  It requires a cash purchase from the internet.


Christmas Rush Activity
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

As of Tuesday, 4 December, there is a new Activity Stage Activity, which is to collect Christmas Socks.  You can do this by making or collecting the following:

For the new Activity Stage activity, as usual, there are four items that earn points: Love Cake (1), Mistletoe (4), Christmas Stollen (5) and Christmas Ham for 30. You can use the bronze star version of the Christmas Ham recipe which means: Place 5 Oranges, 5 Carrots, 1 Grilled Flank Steak in the cooker and set timer for 10 minutes. The Bronze Star will activate but you need to add the 3 Apple Juice before you can tap 'Finish'. So it takes a total of 10 minutes to make this dish.  If you wish to make the Blue Star version, simply set the timer for 15 minutes after placing the first three ingredients.  The Blue Star will activate, and you can add the Apple Juice and tap Finish instantly.

If you make an error and place ALL ingredients in the cooker and set timer for 10 minutes, the Apple Juice will burn, but as long as you tap 'Finish' when the Bronze Star activates, you will have a successful Christmas Ham.

The final Reward is a stocking that hangs on the wall of Darryl's House.  The Christmas Candles Decoration is a theme item in the new Farm Beauty Contest.
