That's evil- wonderfully so. 😛 Edited June 11, 2019 by Kitten Kaos 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some stopped and thought they were sold out, but it was not. I assume Auto-refresh will make it go smoother. To use Auto-refresh has been widespread both here, and in inworld groups. I am sure it's plenty more who know how to use it now, with this release. And it's a small release. I think you are right, they will be gone in minutes. 10 - 15 minutes? The problem for me and many others (comments on forums on the release day) was that once you appeared to HAVE a house or houseboat and went to the next page where you "picked it up" -- you got an error message. I was NOT using autorefresh, just pressing F5. This happened continuously for me with two different error messages. One message suggested that someone else got "my" house (sorry out of stock when obviously they were not as many sims had no dots in them and it was at the very beginning) and the other that the form just wasn't working. This was the first time there was actually a feeding frenzy and there ARE ways to make this work better. Hopefully the website folks will have made some improvements as it was definitely not the fun experience that the first release was. I can can't see how auto-refresh will solve this issue. And yes, likely the houses and houseboats will be gone very quickly. I am still in the not very "soon" camp. Moving the term from "soon" to "soonish" doesn't sound like FASTER to me.

Kat Shadow Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 In hindsight: we'll undoubtedly get a 24 hr heads up again from Patch. From a marketing perspective, releasing at or just after the SL16th makes most sense. I see one or two trad houses abandoned per day, anyone can get lucky so just keep that chrome working it like a drag queen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it could be a "perfect plot Mole alt" abode (much deserving), it could also be that there will be more houseboats in that area as Patch said he wanted to do "something different" with this roll. Time will tell. The map look different now. Nothing in Whiskey Bay, SSPE107 and SSPE92CW. SSPE107 is named Bellisseria Bay. It does not show up on the map, but when I run the mouse marker over the mini-map, the sim between SSPE106 and Whiskey Bay is named Bellisseria Bay. But where are the houseboats? I hope they come back. They were so nice. And what a prominent address, living in Bellisseria Bay?

It's disappeared couple of times though, and then come back again. So I reckon some work commencing there soon too, which would line up with what you can see on the SSP map of the same regions..although it won't show on the world map yet. Edited June 11, 2019 by Evangeline Arcadia On SSP map there's no land there, another chunck of land is further down off the coast - slight error on my part:) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Little Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I made some very crude illustrations. The orange/red is houseboats. The brown is the piers. The dark blue is the 32x32 boat plots. Have you noticed that the boats is placed so you stare into another boat from the largest windows? But if the boats was placed differently, the large windows in the front would look out over water.

In my case, I've got two sides open to water, but only 2 of the styles actually look out those directions. It would be so nice if I could rotate the boat. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That photo was an EXAMPLE of what could happen. There is lots of room in those EMPTY ocean - bay areas to add more "atolls". Sorry for the confusion. If you look closely at my "insert" you can see that those are obviously houseboats that forks are living it --- all that visableclutter :D.

It wasn't you who was confusing, it was the look of it. It looked like it was finished. Maybe they used it as a building plot and moved them.

We have done that often here from time to time. So what I posted was NEVER there! :D. Something like that might be there in the future but there have been no hints at all. I was just wondering about that lone houseboat over by the lighthouse (posted above my post a bit) and thinking that was pretty odd unless it "connected" somehow to more houseboats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also the main reason I'm not a fan of the houseboat square lots ... if they did turn them it would also make more room for those that want linger boats without having to turn them sideways... just seems less awkward overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, I'm on a parcel with 2 sides looking to water and 2 of the boat styles work for that, one of which is the boat style I had already chosen. It does mean that I'll likely never switch the 2 styles that have me looking at my neighbors - and also really glad now that I got the actual location that I did with the square parcel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might happen on a weekend, but I think this coming weekend is too soon. They are still placing houses and houseboats, still lots of landscaping to do, and all those new houses and houseboats have to go through their final testing. The last time, that testing alone seemed to take about a week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That testing process may take less long this time due to a lower volume of houses, but also experience and perhaps even improved testing procedures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sum Littlepaws Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 i think/hope this coming release won't be so small .. I did not expect so many regions are involved! I gave up my traditional, hoping to snap a houseboat "soonish"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritigern Gothly Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Considering the size of the parcel, the location, and the rez/mooring/landing zones, I'd hypothesize that this will be a party zone! There is a square parcel at the end of the airstrip, that could be a bar of sorts, or a helipad, or just a rez zone for planes. Anyway, there's no doubt that this one is big. the area is located in 3 different regions so even if it is not going to be a party sone, it is designed to play a central and important role in Bellisseria's community, I am certain of that much. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was joking about this, but then I got to think, what if these are actually AIRSHIP homes, which would appeal to people who are into steampunk, dieselpunk and those that simply kinda like that kind of aesthetic? I know, it's a stretch and quite unlikely, but... just... what if? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
