Saphyre Cyberstar Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Most of us had some stress trying to get our home or style we are looking for here in bellisseria, for many of us it took weeks, hang in there you will eventually land a houseboat. i hope you can get one soon, but since demand is still high might take a bit 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VenusWish Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 This thread started in June. It's now December how many of these homes have been made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do not lose faith. More properties are being worked on, the moles are working as hard as they can for us while maintaining quality. I don't think any of us who have been lucky so far got our home quickly, it took days, weeks and for some months to get the Linden Home they love. With more themes being hinted at there may be house boats abandoned in future opening them up to those wanting one, like yourself. You might even change your mind while you're waiting and grab something else and want to keep it. I bought premium myself for the new Linden Homes and I didn't get mine right away but I am so glad I persevered It will be worth the wait I promise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nika Talaj Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) The first Belli home release was last April. I don't know how many have been made. It's easier to talk about how many have been released, rather than made, because it looks to us like a very large number of (new theme?) homes have been made that will be released at some point "soon". Very roughly, you could say that so-far-released Belli is a grid of about 20x21 regions, and each region is about 20 homes. Which would be about 8400 released homes. That is REALLY off the cuff, of course. You can make your own estimate looking at the map inworld. Remember, even though not a resident, you can rez vehicles and boats and scooters and what-all and explore Belli, which IMHO is the most fun thing to do here. You can also join the Bellisseria Citizens group and the Events group and participate in all social events that you find out about. Please do! I see a few houseboat regions that are ready for release, no idea when they'll get to them. And, of course, there's some number of abandons happening all the time. If the new theme, being previewed later this week, is very attractive to people, in all likelihood we'll see a LOT of abandons of all types of homes by the end of December as people free up accounts to try for the new theme.

Why so few if you have had consent need from April to today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva Nova Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Nika explained it quite well it comes down to sheer volume of premium accounts wanting the new homes, and many new accounts being created to get the new homes, like mine (and yours). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're asking the wrong people, we're all just residents like you But my personal take is that 8000-ish (correct me if wrong, folks) Belli homes in that period is not bad at all. Consider the following facts: > The Linden Home portion of LL's LDPW team is not large, say something like 5 or 6 employees. > Most of the construction is done by Moles, part-time resident contractors. Coordinating that kind of labor is a huge task, in itself. > So far, each released Belli region has been custom crafted. Even the interior regions do not appear to have come from a template (not sure about the terrain maps of course; life is too short to topo-examine Belli). People have hand-landscaped every region, tho of course that is less of a task when a region is made up completely of houseboats, docks, and small reefs. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I see what is done like so many new hours of YouTube made everyday available to most of the world. Other digital companies have similar stories. Transmitting 4k World Cup streams around the world. Private company with fiber optics lines, cloud servers, so on. Sorry if I find not being able to copy a digital home to meet demand in over 6 months puzzling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florence Reverie Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I would really, really love a camper by water. If anyone decides to release one, please IM me: Florence Reverie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pussycat Catnap Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Most of last week was houseboat sims. This week so far we've had campers on the water. My alt released 2 of them today... The rest of the week is likely going to be more campers on the water if they stay in the same set of sims. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not take the time to become a premium member, just to quit. Really have done everything I can think of to make it work.

Now, if you're looking for the PERFECT Belli home, that can take a while, depending on your idea of perfection. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venus, I am releasing a camper by a wide river today, in a sand region, it is not a boat, but it gets close to. I will announce it here when I get home. Just be patient, there are releases every day thanks to our Moles' amazing work. It was difficult before, but now there are so many chances...
