I would be happy to help at a little game of hide and seek!!!! We will hopefully if you post some screen shots find it for you.

I wonder if this will help you ...

I wonder if you replace the totems image to village_monk's modded image it will make the totems bright and bold and hopefully you'll be able to see the missing totem. Remember if you do this just to back-up the original image.

I have attached the image of the totems from Village_monk's Easter mod below.

ok, thanks everyone - how exciting to have a go at hide and seek! right I have no clue what you mean by a mod and how to do that. I am also not sure how to post a screen shot. you wouldn't believe I used to work in IT!

Will try the screen shot in this post and see how I get on. Well I just looked up how to do it and I dont have a web page so anyone got any clues how I can get you all to see the screen shots?

for details on how to do it go Here

great, thanks for the info, might take me a day or two to do all the cutting and pasting, but will deffo post screen shots as it's driving me mad!

Would it be possible that a totem might be hiding directly behind another and then when I pick up the one in front the one behind is stuck to it?

I dont think that is possible, but it is possible for a totem to behind a totem that you already have.

i have been thinking about this some more and one of my elders gained skill from the gong but it didn't makie them an elder at the time. they later went on to become an elder. from memory I think this was before I 'lost' a totem

so do you think this could be what happened? When they became an elder their totem didn't appear because it was as an indirect result of them being given skill by the gong? Would that also mean that if they became a master in a fourth skill that the totem would appear then?

Mystery solved?

thanks keza132.

It's hard to say what would happen. The gong does unexpected things at times. If you do try to make that villager master a 4th skill, please let us know what happens.

Unfortunately I don't know which one it was and I think they would probably have died by now. What I will do is try it again if I get the same situation as I now know what I am looking for - gone permitting, of course!

Thanks for everyone's help.
