When did you last see a Bellessarian home available?

[Nika Talaj 6,969]

There is still one property left on Boom Tender, and to my mind one of the best there, right across the street from the rez zone.  I squandered one try on it, not going to try again.

What is special about Boom Tender?

It is possibly the ONLY region currently built out that has water from the large, central lake in it.  It also has a rez zone, tho, oddly, not on the large lake water, but on the quite small lake on the region's interior!  But no matter - you can rez a boat on the rez zone, and jump it to the (nice and deep) little inlet of the BIG lake.  So, in that region, you get direct access to the large lake without having to reserve prims for your boat on your own land.

I hovered for days and days on Boom Tender hoping to hit it when it released and now it's all grabbed up while I was busy working

Oh well, best laid plans and all that....

I wonder if this the same houseboat that's been available since Patch started the thread (only once was there zero houseboats I think), and where is this houseboat that no-one wants lol!

Why do people name their new home "Linden Home"?  When your looking on the map and checking on areas that have not been or resently released and you see "Linden Home" you think it is available and you hurry to try and get it .... finding out after you use up all your trys and go check it out you then find out it has been taken days ago ,, hangs my head what a waste of tries. Thank you for letting me vent!

I thought a Vic I had released was stuck in maintenance for several days. I went to check it out and realized that it was named “Linden Home”.  Sometimes people like to mess with our heads, or they’re not very creative in naming their homes.

Sometimes it is a glitch.  I had it happen to me,  had a name picked out and got the house and didn't think anything of it till someone pointed out it still said Linden Home.  It was very odd.  If someone hadn't have said something I could have gone for days without even noticing, maybe even weeks.

As long as we’re mentioning glitches, my alt was in time out yesterday. When I logged back in to check her time out status, I saw that she had acquired a camper.

It was a decent parcel, but I released it. I already had my dream spot in the same region (Red Bluff) , courtesy of @Alwin Alcott. 👏👏👏

There are 2 pairs of parcels on Boom that have the same, unique names.  So might be 2 abandons coming at some point.

[Loretta String 1,584]

I will be releasing a parcel in Boom Tender at 1 pm SLT

it has a nice location on a small lake

I checked and there are a few firefly emitters on the marketplace with good reviews 🙂

what setting do you use to see fireflies?

they come out at night only---estate time

you can see where they MIGHT be, by using control/alt/ T t look for the transparent emitters--usually over small ponds

You have to have a Day Cycle active (can use default one) to see SL night at the right time of day.  And they are particles, so you need to have them on. You can see them when you DON'T have a Day Cycle active, but lol you won't know when to look.  Unless you check this table!

so

so is that little red dot a fire fly emitter?

[Marisa Starbrook 1,534]

They're usually a long narrow column. I've seen them on land and water. I think that little spot might be a sound loop. There was one that looked like that in the lake that I noticed recently.

aaaannnd this is how I discovered that my alt is out of tries. Dang, why can't they indicate that when we go to or refresh the land page, instead of when we try to claim?

I use area search to find them. It weeds them out from all the other transparent objects in the vicinity.

[Marisa Starbrook 1,534]

Every time I think I'm going to bypass the log homes, they lure me back in. I got a place in Crimpstile. 

[Elora Lunasea 7,334]

OMG 

I had no idea Honeyyard had been released and my oldest alt got this! The brown house, surrounded by water, end of sim, with the little island attached from the next region!

/dying!

Tossing back several other homes now because this is my keeper!
