Dora Paule Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) After seeing your published pics, seems that some Lindens homes have the same problems as other normal mainlands plots. It's a shame, an aesthetic aberration, that ruins the visual experience of the closer neighbors. I also think that it could be a violation of the Linden Homes TOS, they use elements that clearly damage the place and views. Unfortunately, AR's for this kind of things take a long time to resolve. P.D. I've voluntarily ignored commenting on that Traditional home addon, because I could use too many offensive adjectives, it's insane.

It actually doesn't even look finished, but I can't imagine that the finished version will be any better other than a few odd parts sticking out being removed -- assuming the creator isn't actually wanting those parts to stick out. The additions are interesting territory as some do seem to totally take the original home out of theme. Some others manage to stay in theme, matching the house style and such, but still leave me shaking my head and wondering "Just Why?". And yet there are others that are truly lovely and do look great without taking the house out of theme or being too overbearing.

I haven't seen anything that I didn't like so far .... Maybe not necessary my personal taste, but nothing to complain about. What I considered to be super ugly, has always proved to be self made after editing it ... or was made of plywood prims with some ugly texture to serve as privacy screen or parcel divider. It would be sad to ban the majority due to a few who just ignore the rules and want to do things their own ( ugly) way....... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roseelvira Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 my real life hubby caught the house next to it . He abandoned it very quickly. Shame people lose a catch and have to throw it back due to that. If is was a small add on or a porch or something that went well but ,,, so its back in the pool so you guys be careful if catching a trad ,,,, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen pretty quick results myself.

Basically lay out a whole theory of the case for them - so they can more quickly agree or disagree.

roseelvira Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 my question is if filling an ar on that home what would you click ,,,, littering ,,,, or encrochment ,,,, i think they need to add something to the ar list for violations in beli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) Question for those that have sent ARs on 'out of theme content' -- what category do you pick for the AR? To me, none of the categories available fully fit. The few times I've submitted an AR because of "out of theme", I've used the Land Encroachment category and then just explained myself in the comments. ETA -- LOL, apparently roseelvira and I are thinking alike right now. Edited December 28, 2019 by LittleMe Jewell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT there is already a bed up in that top story. This is also more than 15m height... so a covenant violation. Just a question of whether or not to give them a few days to correct it... - Since the bed is in there on the third floor, this is likely the intended design and not just "things being worked on"...

Dora Paule Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Hopefully not, but if the use of Linden homes addons like those becomes generalized, Linden should create a specific AR for report this. It's clearly offensive and ruins people experience. I tremble just thinking that someone could use those kind of addons next to my home, without doubt I would be forced to leave my lovely home at Neville.

Alyona Su Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 The problem with the add-ons, which I agree that most are wonderful and professionally-tasteful, is that if you allow one, you'll have to all ow all. I think that defining the gauche example above as a "shell" or shell-like and then not allowing them would be prudent, the classy and high-quality Victorian Turret example would have to suffer that, though.

Well... the covenant actually covers how to split hairs on this: Quote *Privacy walls or fences should match the theme and extend no more than 4m above ground level. All other structures should not extend higher than 15m above ground level or sea level, whichever is higher. *Linden Homes should be kept presentable and in-theme to their unique areas. *Linden Homes can not be used as sandboxes. *Residents may decorate the interior of their house to their liking. The exterior should always remain in theme out of consideration for your neighbors. Edited December 28, 2019 by Pussycat Catnap 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, my houseboat build was originally in a sunny, sandy zone and has a palm in it. Then I moved it wholesale to another boat, which is not land-adjacent, so really I didn't even check the vegetation in the region. Thanks for the reminder!

Well if you're not land adjacent, I guess the 'region' is kinda 'whatever fits' unless there's something obvious about that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The covenant on mainland is basically this: "rez crap to screw over everyone around you, the more glow, fullbright, and scripted bloat the better. It is especially advised to create scripted physical objects that explode and then randomly collide with each other in order to destroy the Havoc engine region wide... Nice polite builds that fits the theme of the neighbors will be returned for being too polite." ... I have had luck with ARs on mainland, dozens of them over the years... but WHAT you can AR is a whole different beast... Oh and the exploding physical thing... we (it took two of us) actually DID get a Linden to to return that back in 2011 or so... but only because it had been there since 2005 or so and the Linden suspected the land owner was a lifetime sub that had passed away...
