Linden Homes Preview

[LittleMe Jewell]

The more I look at them, the more I'm thinking I might grab a houseboat using one of my alts and a house using another of my alts.  Then I can have both worlds to decorate and enjoy.  I can probably knock a 2048 plot off of my current mainland holdings.

As you can see the Linden home is larger than the one I'm currently living in which I purchased from Barnesworth Anubis. 

 

I hope you are not going to move out your beautiful little gem of a house for one of those 2007ish looking LL houses!

Sure am!! I love the challenge of taking something and making it my own. I did that with the Barnesworth house and I will do it with probably all of the new LL homes. Just wait and see what I do with those!

But thanks for calling my home a little gem.

Yep that Barnesworth is an artist. 

I am sure your new decorating project will be equally charming. 🙂

We may hear more about the new Linden Homes and SSP during the upcoming VWBPE 2019 conference next month...

Linden Lab – Above the Book
Patch Linden (Senior Director, Product Operations) and Grumpity Linden (Senior Director, Product) will be going live at 2pm SLT on 4th April 2019 at the VWBPE Main Auditorium talking about what’s new at Linden Lab.

Should be very interesting to hear more.

I got up this morning and decided to test the size of the bedroom of my favorite of the new Linden Homes. So here I am with a prim attached, which is the exact size of the bed I have rezzed in my current home, standing in the bedroom. As I thought, there's plenty room for my bedroom furniture and to construct a small bathroom.

So much for one person's opinion that you could only get a bed in the room.

I don't know the English/american bed measurements. Is yours a single size? I bet I can get in my four poster bed and 2 nightstands there. Wardrobe against the new bathroom wall. That is one of the larger beds I have. Of course I can't put in all the other furniture, like the vanity table.

It looks like a standard double bed. It's not as large as a king though. If you want to visit my current home and see the bed for yourself.. compare it to your avatar, here's the slurl http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Barcola/52/146/25

Is a four poster as big as a king?

Depends. Four poster just means it has tall posts and a canopy. So it can really be any size.

Okay. Here is a larger bed. This one is from Bazar. I don't think anyone would think this is a small bed as her stuff tends to be a little bit on the large size. Here's a pic of me lying in the bed. My avatar is right at 6 feet tall for reference.

And now that bed in the room from two angles.

 

Hope this helps you to plan.  

[Marianne Little]

I think we can clearly say that the bedroom with a small bath can fit several kind of beds. The bedroom was not meant to be divided, so without the new wall, it can even fit one of those large round beds.

The house looks a lot better with Shading turned on. Prok’s pics just showed textures flat.

That is partly because of that one's steadfast resolution to only use off-the-shelf, store bought computers.

@Blush Bravin  could have a job as a personal shopper for people looking for houses.  Wear a whole bedroom or living room or kitchen and move from room to room so her client can visualise their furniture in different homes before making a choice.  Hey Blush theres a guy looking for dungeon... His name is Mr c Grey.  Could you assist him in seeing his furniture in different options

and post the pics of course

Have you been to the preview yet? You really must if you haven't. The houses are lovely with wonderful details. Really first rate IMO.

These new houses do look quite lovely, and I can feel myself a little tempted. I haven't had an actual home (as opposed to store or whatever) in SL since . . . 2009? Maybe 2010? It would be fun.

But I do wish LL offered things that weren't quite so suburban? (And no, not a hobbit hole or elven tree house.) I'd be far more tempted by a really nice (and largish) loft or urban townhouse or Recency terrace or something like that. Or a Parisian garret!!!

Maybe the houseboats are a little different? I don't honestly know what's available.

I tend to use store bought computers - well mostly anyway.  I  typically will buy from an online store and customize it a bit.  I also always make sure I'm buying something fully capable of being in SL on high settings and also ensuring the setup will run multiple viewers at once, along with a ton of other apps all at the same time.  Most of the reason I buy fully setup systems is that I'm just too lazy to do a full build on my own, though I did have my son do one for me once -- he loves doing that kind of stuff.

The houseboats are definitely interesting and different from typical suburbia. If you haven't at least popped over for a look, you should.

LL has already said that there will be multiple themes, like there are multiple themes now.  They are just starting with the preview stuff.  Who knows, maybe as they roll them out down the road, one of them will be to you liking.

Like Lil said, the houseboats have a very different feel to them. Go give them a look. And with 4,000 regions being the goal for the New Linden Homes, I'm sure we've only seen the tip of the iceberg so to speak. It's going to be interesting to see what else they come up with over time.

I was going to paste in a photo of the "other" houses (green roofs with red "chimneys").  As they were VERY different (two sims had them) but alas they are GONE today.   Ah well. Eventually the mystery will likely be solved.
