To begin with, good job on introducing something like this to the game. I fully support the particles, however a few problems with them has been noticed, and staff may or may not know about them.
1) Particles on PC.
- It is mentioned that the particles will not work on the Facebook Client. However, when I was on the Facebook client, setting up the Sandstorm particle, it looked like a big blob of white and it was extremely laggy. This happened, even though I had all animation settings turned "off".

- Also an image of what it looks like inside the shop on PC, with all animation settings turned "off". Again extremely laggy.

Particles Below Layer 2 Furniture
Also to add to this, if you look at the image within the below spoiler, you can notice that the Particles show below Furniture Layers 2 and above. Although the image was taken on PC, its the same for mobile, but slightly less obvious.

2) Going Offline.
- If you go offline while inside the house with the particles and come back online, the particles will be off and will no longer be working.
- To fix this, the owner is required to turn them back on.
3) Turning Particles On.
- If the particles are turned on while the player is not in the House, they will not see them.
- Seems to only work if the player is in the House at the time of the particles being turned "on".
- Destroys the entire purpose of having the particles.
Please Note:
I am using the Chrome browser for Facebook and an iPhone for the mobile version.
I guess if anyone sees anything different to what I have experienced they can post below.. But otherwise, these are the problems that should potentially be worked on and fixed.
Also please note, I love the particles, its just a shame about these slight bugs, that I just wanted to make sure Staff know about.
4) Clicking Particle Effect Settings
- When you click the Particle Effect Settings and then click back off. And then click a statue/hat display/item display (any furniture it seems with a menu) the "Apply Changes" button will not appear, so you cannot save changes to those furniture.
- Does not fix if you leave house and re-enter.
- Only seems to fix when you relog.
- Happens on both PC and my iOS device.

Clicking Particle Settings, this is the menu of it.
Click back to the Statue/Hat Display/Item Display Menu.
The "Apply Change Button" is gone and only returns after relog.
