The crazy thing is I've been watching TV not paying attention to the computer. It was continuing to count down. I randomly clicked the drop-down menu and saw Bellisseria. Clicked it and next and the check box assuming had well and truly missed it. Low and behold there it was. Still don't believe it. Wasn't alerted and almost missed it! Proof Auto Refresh doesn't always work (or was just pitching a fit). Either way yes, got one. Still would love one on the sand/beach but for now this will do. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that reason I started to pay closer attention during the release hours. I grabbed a pretty nice one in Millers Pond by paying attention and seeing the house before the alert. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alumna Cornell Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Hello everybody! I've been following this thread while considering going premium. I've just managed to nab a traditional house in Bellfry which I'm going to release in a couple of minutes. To be honest, it's a dull plot - flat and with only 4 trees out back. I'm hoping for a houseboat or something a little more varied. Here's a pic of the back. I'll abandon the land at 15:30 UK time - not sure if that 7:30 or 8:30 SL time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree when the plot is not the greatest you want to move on to something better, I have a plot that I am giving up just for that simple reason sorry to say it seemed to be no thought in the landscaping around the property a bunch a large trees and nothing else no bushes, pretty flowers, maybe a seating area something like they are doing with the newer released areas. Now I have designed so much of the inside that I really can't do much with the outside to a point it is just depressing. I stay mostly in the hubby's house because of this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alumna Cornell Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Is Bellfry one of the 'older' new areas? Looks very different from places I've wandered around with a river/canal or beach that are really nicely landscaped! Seeing that some of the other properties on the street look like people have been in there for longer than a day I guess the house was abandoned before I got it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough the 3 regions under it, and it's direct neighbor San Jocoso are some of the most beautiful of the older areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you "wear" her on your arms? Could you push her in a pram? Or can you only be with her where you have Rezz rights and enough spare land impact? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasar Ochs Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I've been trying to get my first Bellisseria since June. I've seen less than 5 pop up in that time but was always too slow to nab it. Idk man, this is so bleak. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you "wear" her on your arms? Could you push her in a pram? Or can you only be with her where you have Rezz rights and enough spare land impact? I can only carry her or wear her, yes. I can't rez her anywhere really outside of my parcel as she is too land-impact heavy at anywhere between 79 LI to 130 LI. As yet prams still haven't been created for the animesh baby so nope, I just carry. But she's seen a lot of Bellisseria in her young virtual life this way, and shall continue to do so. As for the new location I was initially worried about traffic or potential lag but so far so good, FPS are holding steady despite all the dots on the map. If it gets painful shall take whatever measures I can (view friends only, etc, but only as necessary). I did love this area as it was being created but really wanted something right on the beach. No matter, for now this is close enough. And to my word I still only have one Linden House and my 2 other alts have none. I might search intermittently but I think my days of refreshing daily are over at least for now; lag depending. Thanks @iBrat, @Shield Markus, @Zoee Clarity ❤️ 👍 🤗 **For the record if anyone's interested while I've been online tonight (and it's now almost 2:00am AEST) I've seen around 6 houses, the majority (4 from memory) were AFTER Donovan's release. So for those that think a region release means you've missed out, think again. Sadly no house boats spotted for those seeking them, sorry. Anyway, thanks again! I'll try and get some time after work and class to decorate and invite people over! *much hugs, goodnight for now as I'm off to bed, and good luck!* Edited August 14, 2019 by RaeLeeH 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice spot wish we were neighbors least I would have someone active next door sometimes I feel no one is alive that lives around me. Oh wait do you have a prim baby also? I just read a post above me sounds like you have something that is heavy on prims like me. Edited August 14, 2019 by tootsiepop1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootsiepop1 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) Love to know how the system determines when a house after being released goes back into rotation some are instant and others take awhile. I am glad if I do need to release my home again I still have my husbands and my newly acquired group houseboat in which my friend stated to do with whatever I want with it as she has had no time to even play.
