Pussycat Catnap Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Flying from my Victorian to my boathouse - south to north Bellisseria, just a region or two after crossing the 'border' empty regions I noticed a LOT of waterfront campers that have been taken by people in only the last few days. It looks like right now is the ideal time to get an extremely good camper location if one is looking for such. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you happen to walk past my home, see it empty and a dot way up in the sky, it's because I (stupidly) thought this weekend would be a good time to organize my inventory. Send wine help.

Elora Lunasea Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 So, since no Victorians were showing up, and I knew I only had one or 2 tries left on one of my alts today I used them on a couple of traditional homes to see what came up. It brought me to the newly released regions. I was not impressed at all. Is it just me? Something odd about them that I can't place my finger on. The two I saw seemed kind of unfinished in a way. Too wide open, houses oddly placed, not enough landscaping privacy between houses. Needless to say neither house was a keeper. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I haven't seen any Victorians for quite a few hours now, so I'm guessing the slow release of them has finally been exhausted and thus no more until LL releases some more regions after the new year. Still no issues getting any of the other 3 styles though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leora Jacobus Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Just got a boat on Escheat. When you look at the map that is no nice location at all but when you are there it has all I ask from a houseboat. Nice views, backs on sand, not only boats but also houses in sight, even a lighthouse. Might consider swapping that for my Sandflea one. But to my big astonishment: no more Victorians!! I had made a bet they would last a weak ... they did not ... but 6 days . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leora Jacobus Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Who knows? Might be they didn't give ALL of them into the pool but kept some back to trickle in next year? I just got a Traditional in Foxbridge and abandoned it because I have better ones ... though I liked it a lot more that all the Victorians I have seen the last days. A much more natural feeling landscape, all green, litte lake in front ... could see the sea from the distance. I think a lot of people just grabbed a Victorian to play a bit with the new possibilities, then abandon after some days or some weeks, like I did with my camper. That was a very nice lot next to water. So the nicer Victorian lots might be coming up again in the new year aswell. I have two seashore ones. One of them will go in the next month or so the other one latest in April when the premium year for the alt runs out. Like me there are LOTS of others. So there is allways hope for Victorians if you still missed out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green with nice unblocked Ocean View, a tiny green area with a sitting bench in front of the house and a road... The road is the only thing i am not excited about, so I will keep looking ... Having looked at many Traditionals lately, after the release of the Victorians I must say that I like the Victorians much better, due to the unique landscape of the sims, the amazing common areas and the prims LL invested in making the entrance to the homes more beautiful with all these flowers etc. The Traditionals instead are now looking bit sad, especially the ones that only have 1 single plant and a tree on the front side ( like my first one), or even nothing at all..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pussycat Catnap Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I was a bit surprised that the Victorians actually did go away sooner than the houseboats. I expected them to take longer to vanish and thought there were more of them than there were. That said... I think the Traditionals are generally a better product. You can click to move around in them, and they're just about the right size for the amount of land impact we get given how most people don't seem as good as I am at getting low land-impact stuff (when I cam around regions I see most neighbors are using 2-3x the land impact as I am for like items). While my Victorian is 'densely pack with stuff' and I still have 81-land impact left after also setting out 4 vehicles, I frequently see homes that look sparse and yet have nearly run out... That is people who in the long run might return to traditionals. People who are good at limiting the land impact of their rezzed toys will like the Vics... but others will start feeling their homes look empty. But that will take some time to occur. The Victorians are the shiny new thing, but once the shine wears off and each style has equal familiarity, I suspect popularity will be in the houseboats and trads, then vics, and then campers because of the smaller size (you may get 512m to use on mainland - but nobody with any sense wants to be on that blighted mess unless they have one of a small number of super rare locations). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's what I thought, but I checked and the names of the houses were all 'Linden Home', belonging to the LL group. This morning (western Europe time) were all taken though It was funny to me, because I kept seeing these houses, when the alt I created couldn't see the Vic option in the land page. Who knowws, it might have even been a bug Edited December 23, 2019 by Elena Core 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leora Jacobus Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Just saw Victorians again on the LP. I guess abandoneds maybe even nice ones, but I personally decided to give up hunting for them and start hunting for houseboats. Like all hardcore players of the Game of Homes I have some excellent property amongst my several alts and am extremely picky. And after having seen (C&A) some 50 Victorians (of whom I intend to keep two seashore lots for some days/weeks/months?) plus one (really nice) houseboat on the southern Squishy Pickle clone I decided one thing: for my personal taste I like the northern part of Bellisseria a big lot more than the southern new part!! North Belli is unique "handmade" and resembles a REAL continent where you can move around on foot, byke, horse or in a car and discover regions. Some you might like more, some you like less, some have seashore and sand, others lakes, bridges, rivers and waterfalls, others mountains, mud and campers, but each of them is a unique personality. I personally prefer this and even if the Victorians have lots of nice flowers in front and the possibility to colour each room seperately, when the moment comes (next April) to cut down my seven premium accounts to one (... or two? ... or three??) they will have to go.

After several tries I got a Houseboat in Sirens Rock, which is a region with only 5 Houseboats and no lag. I love the open sea and the nearby small island with the lighthouse and a rez zone... ( with only 3 prims left, I have no chance with rezzing a primmy boat for sailing) Cobbs Marina is the nicest area with houseboats that I have seen so far !!
