Elora Lunasea Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 A few Victorians have shown up. Caught 2, threw one back. Keeping one in Forsyte on an alt, corner lot, 3rd row up from the shore, hill top, corner lot with big protected land next to me. Actually quite nice considering how little is available for Victorians right now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people were to use addons it's going to use up prim and then it's harder to decorate.. I wish they would so we wouldn't have to gamble even further. Here is the response I gave to your question about this in the other thread: The biggest reason is that the Victorians take up more land space, so it is highly unlikely that you could rez one on your land on not end up with a nearby tree poking into your house. That is why LL uses those monopoly looking pieces when they are landscaping -- those pieces encompass the complete size of all houses for a specific theme that could be rezzed on a plot. Additionally, per Patch, the Victorian homes are truly a different theme than the Traditionals and would look out of place mixed in with the Traditionals. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sister Nova Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 2 hours ago, AlyceAdrift said: I personally don't see how it would. They still have campers and houseboats.... (to me) It'd make since to just put all the houses under one category to make it fair since we are paying for them... It's all a question of aesthetics too. The themes are set into neighbourhoods, it's much better for all the buildings in particular areas to be linked in style. If any building can go anywhere, you start to get an anarchic look, similar to the mainland, which is contrary to the appeal of Bellisseria. From what you've said, I would gather that you've chosen to have a traditional home. If you want a Victorian, a move would have been easy to do in the last week. Your argument about about making things fair since we are paying for them could also apply to location. Someone has a water view from their house. Another has two sides of their property bordered by water... should everyone have water surrounding their parcel which would contain ALL the themes available in their rezzer because we're all paying for them? I'd certainly not want to live in a continent that had that. They are out there, many private estates provide that sort of land set up for their tenants, and for those that like that sort of thing, they're very welcome to it. The fact that you CAN choose any of the buildings within the theme of the parcel YOU chose, is a great improvement on the old Linden Home areas. Celebrate that. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrate that. This is a biggie. In the old Linden Homes, if you wanted a different style of home within a given theme, you had to abandon and then go pick the new style - and hope that you then liked the new location also. Being able to stay in one spot and just rez any of the styles within a particular theme is a much, much appreciated improvement over the old way. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I've had a traditional, I've avoided the Winchester; because it seemed huge. The Vics seem massive (except for the Doyle). I got a traditional in Worth a little while ago. The Winchester seems cosy in comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pussycat Catnap Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 10 hours ago, Pussycat Catnap said: This is what autoreturn is good for. First thing I set anytime I get land - auto-return of 1. Instant zaps anything left. If something is there but seems to fail to get zapped, because it's root prim is outside the plot - right click it and pick return... My alt just caught a traditional that had red lettering on it, in Forrest Field. Autoreturn did not handle it. But looking in about land I noticed Abnor Mole was using up 67 of my land impact. So I just selected the entry with his name on it and hit return manually. Red lettering and everything else zapped away. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is some advice if you do not know how. PS: Sorry hadn't read the rest of the thread. See your problem is solved meanwhile. But there might be others looking for a Victorian. Still not on the landpage- but all other three themes are- so after realizing the boat I have is much nicer than the ones offered to me yesterday, now I start my C&A game with traditionals!

Chloe Bunny Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I logged in for a last go this morning and immediately landed the riverside front view of lake traditional I had looked for for months! More alts = more dilemma! Anyway, just wanted to wish you all well for the holidays - in RL I lost my husband to suicide at New Year time four years ago and since then SL has been a big help in dealing with the loneliness - this community even when we are all arguing 😂 has been of value to me.

Leora Jacobus Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) They are obviously just releasing Westlake! My alt got a parcel there without a house and with a green barrier around it. But she could build a house and just return the barrier! She will give it up though in 56 Minutes since I do not like the region ... If you do: here is your chance! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Westlake/168/221/29 PS: just now 3:15 am SLT ... other alt same region other parcel same thingy ... this time I built them a continental!

Just landed a keeper sourrounded by water http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Conger Reef/148/42/27 There are several green dots - might be a release? THAT catapulted right away to place two of all my property!! It is at least as nice (if not much nicer) than the best lots in Rocky Hights that I had been sooo keen to get and had missed out completely. Best Christmas present LL could have made me!! ... now the RL festivities can start!! MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of you!! PS: I still cannot believe it! THIS is the view from my balcony!

Just got four of those and some neighbours have red writing. Westlake goes around for the last 5-6 hours, but most homes get abandoned at the first visit. I got it 4 or 5 times.... I've seen neighbours decorating without obviously knowing that they can return objects that don't belong to them. Activating autoreturn is always my first move after getting a home Edited December 24, 2019 by Loretta String 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
