These balls, you dirty birds... I have seen complainers guided to another thread to complain, so is there a speculation thread? I found this thread and it was helpful until I started reading speculation that misguided me, so I started doing my own investigating and stopped reading. I came back to the thread remembering Leora had data I wanted to review, and I still see speculation which reads to me like certainty, but I know better now.

Leora Jacobus Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Hurray!! I am likely to keep this one and abandon my other houseboat on the Squichy Pickle instead. This has a 32x32 plot with a nice view and - very important to me ... I can choose the Evening Star and have it the RIGHT direction - balcony and window towards the SEA. I will take my time to move though ... will abandon on Saturday so not to disturb the coming release of River Run. I think I will not parrtake in that - River Run is to inlandish for my taste.

Technically, pretty much anything you see in this thread regarding what will be released when is speculation, unless it's stated by a Mole or Linden. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the view in itself isn't much better than the one I had but though Picard's Wharf is only houseboats it is an organic part of the new Pickle Isle whereas I personally always felt the Squishy Pickle to be a sort of houseboat- ghetto artificially made up out of the form that was supposed to be an island. So I tried to concentrate on the view and the water and ignore my surroundings. Here I can turn towards land and see trees, I can walk down the pier and into Siros, that is a VERY nice region. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leora, I remember how you were nostalgic for the distant sea view from your Winchester balcony in your early catch and release days. Yesterday, I landed a house during the Siros release. I longed to get a house in River Run right on the river. My corner location is across the street from River Run. There were so many people hanging out there after the release that I thought it was part of Siros. I was feeling slightly disappointed about not being on the river bank. When I came to my senses today, I realized I have a lovely view from my Winchester balcony and second storey of the Continental (my favorite house). My house backs up to a rocky hillside with a hidden pond on top. I think I'm finally home. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a youtube post...forgot who posted it, someone did make a Belli home with boarded up windows inside and looking like a drug used interior. What region that was I don't know. I hope someone can find it. Surely the reference meant Houseboats more side by side than what Leora has now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echopraxia Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Seen quite a few traditionals tonight and zero houseboats. Are houseboats just that popular in comparison to traditionals or are there just less of them to go around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are houseboats just that popular in comparison to traditionals or are there just less of them to go around? As a HB hunter (retiring today!) most of mine were abandoned plots. All unique. They are like gold dust because they are guaranteed water parcels. A lot of residents have trads and a boat or had a trad, tried a boat and saw what the fuss was about! You will see less of them in the dropdown compared to trads at least for now. Typical day without release I see about 7 - 10 trads pass by and only 1 - 2 HBs. The easiest way is to wait for HB releases I know (easier said than done!) Also remember that the position of your HB is set so if it's a square one it brings different living circumstances than a rectangular one and there are only a certain amount of each type available currently on the map so it narrows down considerably that way. Good luck in the search! Hope you all find your homes! Edited September 13, 2019 by Chloe Dolores 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe McAlpine Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 My experience: is its harder to get a housbeboat than a house. And it makes me a little sad to hear such derogatory words about my region. I was so happy to get a houseboat. And it's on the Squishy Pickle.(see the nice picture from @karynmaria) I also have a nice view and a weekend feeling. It is for the very rich SL Residents 😉. A place to spend the weekend recovering from your stressful life on your homestead. Yes-thats the fact. However, if you follow this thread it is hard not to be unsettled (right word?). Sometimes I tought -grab your bagage and try to find a better place. Perhaps I am not brave enough and I have only one premium. It is not so easy to find a houseboat at all. I´m curious it there will be more houseboats in the future and how they integrate into the landscape. Maybay I`ll move and risk beeing homeless for a while-we will see. So until now, I am living on my Squishy-Pickle- Houseboat and enjoy the peace, the silence and relaxe. (Btw 2: In Germany this word has also a slightly different meaning due to the history and it hasn´t changed so much in the meantime Be carfully how to use it.) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
