Rabid Cheetah Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) I know it will be a long time coming, given the need to finish all log regions and start on the stilts, but I've been thinking about more variety to Belli. Right now, you've got the wealthy suburbs (Trads and Vics), beachy area (Houseboats, Trailers, Stilts), and woodlands (Cabins and Trailers). These are more of the houses I'm familiar with: Chicago Bungalows A more urban vibe. Like New York apartments with a front step Linden could make the interiors of most of the apartments in a building solid blocks, then have a single empty apartment for folks to move into, per 512 m2 parcel. Or 1024 for a luxury high-rise They'd have a built in elevator, and would be more spacious than Trads and Vics due to the habitable area being up in the air, beyond 15 meters high -- no one would be building outside, then, so might as well have the apartments span the entire 512 or 1024 meters, right up to the parcel boundary. I'd also like to see a rural theme. Not just trailers, or the creative person who selected red for their outside color and the Trad that looks most like a barn, with a 14 meter high windmill next to it. Farmland. Wheat fields. Corn. Soybean. Silos. Stuff like that. Space-theme would be cool, too -- though we do already have Horizons. Maybe rooms on the International Space Station/DS9, way up at 2000 meters high. Snow cabins. Well, enough of that for now. I'm just thinking out loud. Does anyone else have some ideas/a wishlist for other themes they'd like to see?

AlettaMondragon Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I played with the apartment idea too, which brought me to quite the same concept. Smaller buildings like in your second photo, could be made as a full representation of a real one, with large rooms on each level. A skyrise area would be interesting too, where the living area of each building could be a penthouse. Some games implemented that when they added "housing" features. Obviously, the whole exterior of the building would have to look nice though, to avoid a really weird and low quality "cityscape" when looking up to the buildings from the street, for example. It shouldn't be a problem though, it just takes some more work on making large mesh building exteriors. What I would really like to see implemented, is a desert or semi-desert area, in the middle of a landmass, or separately, which would give the proper feeling of being in an arid environment. But of course, if I want to see deserted areas with quite appropriate terrain textures, half of mainland is suitable for that too, so probably a desert theme for LH wouldn't be too popular. A properly made desert would look really cool, though (Just not literally, as it would be quite hot, and dry.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Bunny Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I am still advocating for the next 512 to be dinky thatched cottages, as a semi-replacement for Elderglen. They could serve as a nice transition between woodland and a rural farmhouse setting. I'd love an urban setting but it's really hard to achieve that kind of density while still giving people the privacy and security they demand. I think given the choice between an otherwise empty high-rise and a skybox I'd probably opt for the skybox. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahThe Wanderer Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 When patch and the rest of the lindens and moles were talking about the next linden home themes, they all agreed that theme number 8 is their favorite and i have a feeling or at least I hope it's an urban theme, 'cuz I think they said it's different from all other themes, so urban theme is coming and that's what i want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syo Emerald Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I'd love to see something with stone walls. We have so many themes that are made with modern wood walls as the outside. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elena Blossom Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 A nod to Europe would be nice. And my dream would be a Mediterranean theme, with all houses facing our lovely old sea 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pussycat Catnap Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 After they get all the 'core 8' done... I would love if theme 9 and 10 were a mini-version of 'the top 3 themes' packed together - but on G land, and A land, and with at least a 2-region but sailable / driveable gap between them and 'M rated' bellisseria. That's my big ask. Basically a 'half Horizons' but with Bellisseria's covenant and locked to prefabs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabid Cheetah Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 If they do go urban, I hope it's not top-end of the financial spectrum, like their suburban Vics and Trads are. In fact, I'd like more suburbs, if they weren't so exclusive looking. I think that's what turns me off to those two themes. They're too "Lake Forest" or "North Shore Creampuff" -- People in the Chicago area will understand that, or anyone who remembers the films of John Hughes. I know it's cool to have fantasy homes in great neighborhoods, but I'd also like to see some stuff that's a bit more realistic for the majority of the population. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes Avon Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) I also would love to see Arizona style homes with cement exteriors and a lot of gravel yards with random bushes.

Gaea Oakleaf Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I love the Arizona style, it's a beautiful style of home. I'm hoping that we see either a nice bungalow or an English Cottage style in the future. The landscaping for either one would be beautiful, though with the English Cottage, you could really have a lot of fun with that one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
