Can always try for something else w/ an alt though I think that I'll give a chance to this home in Neville, I'm making new friends in the neighborhood, and It's also bored and upset to spend weeks taking and dropping homes. As you well say, I could try with a premium alt, but I can't afford a second premium suscription if the alt find a better home (I recently updated my main account to annual premium) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malayaa Morningstar Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Congrats to the people landing the coastline homes woo hoo! Just as a data point for others still trying, will mention that having multiple alts is not a guarantee, my main and my alt tried Monday and Tuesday and I kept one house. Then Patch announced "OK to play Game of Homes" for the rest of the year and that there were hundreds of new houses sitting in the pool... so when the coastline regions started populating I got myself a nice Xmas present and made 2 new alts for a month on Wed. So that is 3 house hunting avis = 15 tries a day on Wed and Thursday, and even with rolling the dice when a new coast region started filling up but still had "Linden Home" parcels, the closest I got was a block back from the ocean behind other homes. I would abandon and try again for that vacant ocean parcel sitting RIGHT THERE, and often would wind up in the same abandoned house LOL. Or an older inland region. I am very happy with the home I kept, and will still be rolling the dice for a month figure since inventory is high, snagging an extra Victorian temporarily is not going to deprive someone of a home or, apparently, overload the servers now...p.s. I found that by turning my draw distance down to just the right number, my inland lakeside house that sits on peninsula between 2 coasts turns into an "ocean view" home hahahaha. These houses are amazing and I am so happy that everyone that wants one, can get one 😍 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I applaud your decision to keep it, and I hope you really enjoy it. As of yesterday evening, there were still some very nice parcels in the queue. In 3 Vic tries I caught one in Beaux Armes that had protected land across the street overlooking the big bay there that is connected to the "ocean". Great place to sit on a wearable chair and watch activity in the bay. The water is in the region, so you could "jump" your boat from your parcel and be sailing in 5 seconds. The next one I found was a very cute site next to train tracks with a little park in back. I waited to show it to my partner before abandoning, it was so cute. I still see all 4 varieties of home on the Bellisseria land page, so anyone who missed Vic release days, opportunities abound Unfortunately, Nika herself did not land any property we'll keep, so over the last couple of days she took one of each type of home to get new content packs. If she's not going to have a parcel we're keeping, she can serve as a content pack storage unit! We won't be hopping for anything other than entertainment for a while, we have nice properties and are happy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, may be time to stop jumping, it will be almost impossible to get one of those on the beach. And as I said in a previous message, I don't want to lose my current home at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Neville/176/136/32.

If you don’t love it, toss it back! Let someone else live their sandy dreams. It’s tough for me as a sand lover to see people get sand and cover it up with grass, lol. There is plenty of lush green grass in Victorians region, many green coasts too! Also, why does it look like none of your neighbors have moved in? So empty.

I know... that was odd. It's an April region. House to the right of me was claimed maybe back then (need to recheck, if not then, some months ago...). Really strange... After I took this pic, I filled up the house. The outside is still a little empty though. For now I am actually on the fence between Victorians and Traditionals. Use-wise Victorians are an inferior product due to everything being touch - they chose to favor the scripts while customizing over the actual residing in the spot (as opposed to say... deleting the scripts after customizing and telling you to just re-rez if you need to repaint)... Every face in the Victorian, even ones that we were told AFTER THE FACT are not supposed to be... is responsive to commands from the control system, probably through a touch call... But the Victorian spot is better, and I had more space to fill it. Edited December 21, 2019 by Pussycat Catnap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elora Lunasea Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) I've become a professional Victorian house flipper 😂 I can not even keep track anymore which alt has which and where. I've gone through dozens in the past few days. It's pretty amazing too, how many times I wind up in the same exact lot even if I am trying hours later, on the same avi no less. So weird. And certain regions keep popping up over and over so I wonder if some of them just don't appear to people for whatever reason. Have passed over many gorgeous properties with unique landscaping only because of things like being sandwiched between other homes - a big dislike. I have landed a few comfy spots which tug at my hear that I will not give up yet unless I find some big prize like one on a beach (isn't that always what most of us want???) or any waterfront at all. I have a couple that do have gorgeous water views - one set high on a hill top overseeing everything, blue everywhere down below. Another across the street on a private secret like lot that has cute peaks at the ocean across the street and with some strategic derendering is just about perfect, and another, sits high up a street in a very stately prominent way with a total clear view down to the ocean way below - sort of like a San Francisco vista feel to it. Those three are special for sure. I haven't had any time to decorate/furnish etc. Only put down a garden in one so far. End of year is my busiest time at work and I'm beyond stressed and tired. Looking forward to a few days off next week so I can gather my wits and figure out all of what I've landmarked and see if any of this needs to be abandoned. EDIT: Might let the one in Oatley go. It's the one I did up as The Pink Lady, with a lovely large pond view but now that it's been put back to regular Linden colors *sighs* I kind of am not so thrilled as I was with it as before. Nice lot - but maybe not worth holding onto since I do like the others better. Edited December 20, 2019 by Elora Lunasea 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marianne Little Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I think I was wrong when I said there were Victorian regions not yet released. Every one I clicked on was released. Makes it risky to give up a home you are 75 - 90 % happy with. Now I hope for news about Super Premium soon. I am happy that I don't like Campers and consider myself done with Houseboats. Because then I don't need to have an alt for 4 types of LH. As soon as I hear what Super Premium is, what we get and how much we must pay, I can give up a house. If it is something that gives me more land and Li. Time will tell. I hope we know what it is before Easter. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TessaPaige Jupiter Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Homes, homes homes! All sorts of homes are available. The question is for how long? My alts have been catching and releasing so many traditionals and Vics these last few days. The beach house I wanted since Bellisseria's inception was my intended target. Well, I got two! One traditional just now and an incredible Victorian on the beach a couple of days ago. The game of homes is not for everyone but, if you don't like what you have now then this is definitely the time to play. Break a pixel everyone! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they say yesterday they had basically thrown it all out there? It might just be that they're in a stack - Home Z won't get taken until homes A-Y have... If so, it would also explain why some people (one of my alts included), seem to get their abandons back so often right now... Demand has basically been met... so if my theory is right those middle sims might take a while to get claimed. Which is actually a good thing... now is the time to tell all those "it's just to hard to get one" friends to jump in and get one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elora Lunasea Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) Just let my Oatley house go. Sweet spot but I just got another one I liked in Knebworth which I much prefer. Another overlooking the ocean below. I keep *just* missing getting a house on property which I want. So close, but not there yet. This one overlooks a few homes on a sandy island. Would kill for one of those. Not the sandy part, just the island! Anyway so this is where the homes are that I have so far that I need to make decisions about (others I've thrown back already). Pommade: Half way up a steep street, west view to water. Nice winding walkway to house. Lush plantings. No house in back of me. If I de-render bushes have much better views of water below and makes backyard look enormous. Park-like feel to neighborhood. Kind of reminds me of upscale areas of San Francisco. Big pieces of protected land between me and neighbors on all sides so super private. Bandstand: This one is interesting. Way at the top of a very steep street also, but placed so prominently that you can't miss it - you could walk right into the front door walking up from the MIzzenmast region., which as a fountain at the end of that block where it meets the waterfront. So, no other homes face into the front of my house at all. And, it's the only house on the block - no house on either side of it. The two houses near it are on the other side of the street on either side. It really does stand alone. Has traditional wrought iron planters at walkway - have not seen there in any other home yet. Yard totally fenced in with the brick and iron fencing. Backyard is kind of no big deal though but not terrible. Street looks perfect for a parade to go through, long and wide. The front is the showcase. This house feels GRAND. Red Hook: Right next door to Bandstand. End of the street, on a cul de sac, across from water front homes. This house just has that something-something about it that I love. Another home where there's no house in back of me, nor the side so the yards feel large and private. It's the only one I've started working on so that says something. Knebworth: Another home overlooking a lovely view of waters beyond. Even a houseboat community. And again, a private street, 2nd house from the end of a dead end - no houses across - clear view to water but not at ground level. House next door *might* be a little closer to back yard than I prefer plus I think overlooking those homes on the sandy island below may just make me annoyed lol. Yea so. Lots of premium alts to play around with (been in SL a long time). Of course, I could keep all of these and just decorate all - I sure have enough inventory to do them all in completely different ways but...do I have the time? 😱 EDIT: OMG forgot about Beaux Armes. I knew I missed on. LOVE this one. This is one where the backyard is the focal point - finally. Up on a hill, overlooking waters below, very clear view with a bridge in the distance (do need to de-render some small bushes, no big deal). Extremely picturesque. Nice sized backyard to go along with this. Pretty sure this is a keeper. I can see making a fantastic patio back there.

Dora Paule Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Neville/176/136/32 I love the homes on beach, with sand, but I must focus on two points. Change means losing my current location. It's highly unlikely that I get a better one. I think my house game ends here 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I am still blown away that for the first time since the original release in April, we still have a surplus of all 4 styles available to pick from. Being on vacation currently, I don't have the time to play house-swap. If there is still a surplus after I get home this weekend, I may see what I can land. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pussycat Catnap Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) The islands south of Belisseria, where it is all houseboats, are starting to fill up. I predict houseboats will vanish from the selection within a few days, or sooner. But this time most people who want one will have gotten in. EDIT... And flying up in the sky over there... I just had to file an Abuse Report against a 0-second instant no warning 'orbit-out' (eject) security orb that tossed me out of my vehicle, and again orbited me when I walked in to make sure it was an orb and not the vehicle... http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Knot Shore/169/119/18 Edited December 21, 2019 by Pussycat Catnap spelling / grammer 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
