SelfAdmitted Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I've found it more annoying to get a house, and find the previous owner is still in there! If you abandon, then leave straight away please. I'd rather have their profile pic in the land info which is really easy to delete, than the person themselves. I've had to resort to the LH security option a couple of times. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me of when people have to say "First," in the comments section on YouTube. Also, when there is a new release, I've noticed a couple times that the person before me opens all the doors and windows before leaving, and there was no way they were there long enough to have moved in. Oh, the funny things.... 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, the funny things.... That was probably me. I do this when I am contemplating whether or not I want to keep the parcel. I like to walk around my property first then walk around the house and look out the windows to see what the view is. Closed windows ruin it so that is why I open them, same with doors. I don't want to have to continually open and close them. Sorry! I am just an odd bird, I know 🤣. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any way to just delete the pic; don't you have to replace it with SOMETHING, even if just a blank? When you look at the part of the land box where the photo goes, you have the option of clicking on Blank or Default instead of changing the photo. Blank will give you a plain white box where the photo was, and Default gives you the blue background with a question mark on it. You are right that *something* has to be in that box. I'm not sure, but I am thinking it changes automatically to the Default when a parcel is claimed for the first time, because I don't recall seeing Derrick's photo on any that I have claimed. Hmm!

It is how I decided I didn't like a certain cabin style. The one with a back porch and windows that open by lifting from the bottom. Yes, I open windows and doors and peer out at views to see if it feels right. I NEVER put a photo in the land window, though. I wish that was auto-deleted when property is abandoned. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave them time, and have always IM'd... and waited for a reply... then just booted them out. I would never AR on that either, but when they are there so long, and you just want to empty out your inventory in the new place... I usually wait, when getting a new place and seeing it for the first time, using the map, until the green dot has gone, but some of them just don't want to go. I will start charging a parking fee on the next one! Edited April 22, 2020 by SelfAdmitted ETA 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR... just like in RL, when a friend falls asleep on the couch and you 'decorate' them with makeup, or sharpies... LL should give new LH owners the option to 'decorate' the lurking previous tenant 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kali Wylder Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 23 hours ago, Hendrix Portal said: I should mention I'm a chronic map-watcher right now... I have had my home for a while, but I have a friend waiting for a couple to open up, and I freed up my alt to give it a few tries before it expires. "Passing" a log home from one to another is near impossible at the moment, but if I catch one she likes, it's worth a shot I guess? I have a couple of nice log homes that I will give up at the end of the month. I am still trying to decide between a really nice trad that I have and a really nice Vic that I have, i will be giving one of them up at the end of the month as well. GoH has been a lot of fun but I'm not going to keep all these alts on premium forever. I expect to end with one Lindenhome, either the trad or the vic, or maybe if I get a really nice houseboat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth Macbain Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 15 hours ago, Cinnamon Mistwood said: I wish I knew how they decided to offer up the new regions. I spoke to someone about this just last night. I had heard it mentioned once in the citizen's group chat, but wasn't sure if it was correct or not, but it is - ALL cabin regions have been released. All of them. Well, the ones that are done from that big main release a couple weeks (months? years?) ago. The System that decides who gets what house where was built by the Ancients, and has apparently become sentient and makes up its own fickle mind as to how the regions and homes in them are distributed. But every single log region has been released. They're all in the queue and up for grabs... if the System decides you are worthy. There might be sacrificial virgins involved, but good luck finding one of those in SL... 3 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frigga Freidman Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I have another Jerife Blando riverside plot to release - this one directly opposite the river from the one I posted last night. Backs onto the river looking north, though water is only visible from the upper floor, or back yard. Will let it go at 1:30pm SL time. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your flexi hair sometimes too, or the penguins and a few others too...... It's interesting to see that someone else was there too 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
