I had a lost remote and I have found a solution! Maybe this will help you.

I made a bright background for it, but still could not find it. Then, by accident, I saw it. Look where it was:



The only way to see it was through the tiny, tiny gap between the top of the screen and the tool tray. No wonder I couldn't find it even with the bright background. It was always covered up no matter what!

I had to make a mod to make the tool tray partly transparent before I could finally drop someone in the right place and retrieve the remote.

Anyway, I hope this helps someone!

I have done so, and I located the remote, the problem is that it is Directly behind the inventory bar, so I cannot place my little people on it to get it because the screen moves and the inventory bar is on it again please can u advice, Thanks

have you downloaded the mod that makes the tool tray transparent?

no, where can I find it, I managed to remove it somehow, the problem is the remote is on the MOST LEFT of the screen, I cannot manage to drop someone on it to get it, if I did, they drop on the right of the remote, they never drop directly on it :S

You're welcome to use this one I made:



Just save it and then rename it to "main_BG.png"

Remember to save the real image to a safe place before you use the transparent one, so you can replace it after you grab the remote!

Yeah, it can be hard to drop the people on the remote, especially since the screen refuses to stay still. Keep trying.

yes this is no longer the problem I managed to remove the inventory bar the problem is that the remote is in the most most most left of the screen so my people cant reach for it

Have you tried with a kid? They can usually reach to pick up weeds and collectibles where adults can't.

yep The kid also couldn't reach for it

Anything thing?

I had the same problem and even with the transparent inventory bar (thanks Tuna Puzzler) it took many attempts with my tiniest tiny person before I could get the remote.
I was trying to get the remote before seeing the post about the transparent bar and my little Eva found a wrapper I didn't know was there!

I'm thinking of keeping the transparent bar on permanently. I think it's a shame there's all those lovely graphics on the edge of the screen and we can hardly see them.

This is my first post on this (or any) forum so I hope I've done it right!!
