Chloe Bunny Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) I can see stairs in the teaser - I hope this is a 512 theme! Edit : also is that left window showing wooden shutters? Or maybe just a door frame.. Edited October 31, 2020 by Chloe Dolores 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit : also is that left window showing wooden shutters? Or maybe just a door frame.. It could just be panelling rather than stairs (kinda tudor like, but in a rustic style, so maybe a cottage theme?). I'm guessing they will be 1024's judging by what I've seen over time on the Dev & SSP regions, but it does look like they have some smaller homes coming mabye later: Right top shapes look like stilt homes, top row I think is the theme after that, and bottom ones are the newest ones added here, so theme after that, but they are placed in 1024 regions, which might mean nothing here. But who knows:) Edited October 31, 2020 by Evangeline Arcadia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Little Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) @Raspberry Crystalin RL there is often a mix of styles. I live in a 1956 built house, to my left is the 1910 house that sold half of their parcel to be the plot for this house, to my right a house that has to be older, down the street more old houses that has split their large gardens... 1980's houses in the 80's style and 2019 houses in modern style. As long as a new theme fit in the same footprint as the previous styles I think it will be fine.

RitaCallisto Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) The outside walls give me a southwestern vibe. That type of siding on homes is pretty common in states that are warm(Florida for example; cinderblock with a look similar to this over it).

Fay Starlight Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I think a desert theme with SW style houses would be a decent departure---or maybe a perpetual snow area with cute little chalets. It would be kinda cool to give a nod to the four seasons! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthieu Quander Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I would love a Southwestern style home, but if it comes with a Colonial knocker on the door, you will see a grown man cry. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the main difference? Isn't it more likely the next theme would be something really NEW? As I have posted in another thread somewhere, the trads, log homes, and Vics all have craftsman elements, and even more so with some of the add-ons that are available. It also is a fairly broad style. For the type of craftsman that I prefer, which is also known as California bungalow, think traditional with mild Asian influences. Some of the most defining characteristics are a roof with a shallower pitch, large columned covered patio at the entrance, and attached pergolas. In looking at the door more closely, it appears to just be a repurposed door from the Vics without the side bits. The exterior trim looks like standard log home trim. The inside looks like Vic or log home trim, walls, and floors. The entry step is what we see on the trads without the brick. So the stucco and rock path are new, and we have no idea what the floor plans and elevations look like. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nika Talaj Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) Costumes. In the first pic, I'm not sure what Patch is dressed as, but he COULD be a castaway, maybe a hint about many islands coming with the Stilt homes? I can't see a hint in the cute-as-hell little devil, but I do wonder about the boy on the right. Is that a Game of Thrones costume? Perhaps that was the biggest tell that this was a theme hint ... a nod in the direction of the Game of Homes! Let's look at his 2nd Halloween pic. Nothing too interesting in the surroundings - looks like a Vic, not a lot of decor. Patch is a mech, and the boys are astronauts. One of them is dressed in purple. Let me return to what I surmised on May 3rd about SSP2001 -2040, which incidentally recently turned purple.

Nika Talaj Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) /me puts on a tin foil hat, consults her crystal ball, and predicts that if any Lindens read this thread, Patch's typist may endure endless teasing about his "Peter Pan vibe". *takes a treat out of her pocket and gives it to the little Borat that seems to camp inside her head* [I'm still going with "castaway" on that costume. Maybe the Stilt Home community center will be a shipwreck??] Edited November 1, 2020 by Nika Talaj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinsley Starlight Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 NO TUDOR HOUSE - definately isn't an english cottage either - its an ENGLISH TownHouse is my guess they all have front stoops like that an windows - it could be a English Row House as well.

Eirynne Sieyes Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Maybe vampire/demon homes? Wasn't there talk earlier that the newer themes may be very different, perhaps fantasy-oriented?

Now *that's* definitely not a Wendy House! And Patch (looking surprisingly young ) is wearing academic robes with a Slytherin badge. Neo-Gothic/Collegiate Gothic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collegiate_Gothic) would fit in well with Harry Potter fans or vampires wanting a spookier setting. As a style, it borrowed some elements from Tudor architecture (note the Tudor Rose emblem on the gray pillars) as well as the earlier Gothic, but the facades would be stone rather than brick or wood, and what's shown here looks like wood and plaster. Anyway, I think this building is more likely to be a community center rather than an actual home, and I'm guessing the words on the arch at the top are Lo[ndon] Museum. A collegiate style would also lend itself well to quadrangles, with buildings surrounding a large common area.

I don't entirely think it's the new theme. The house in the pic looks like a Victorian it's tagged as Millbank so part of the Halloween goings on there, that and the pic before it on Flickr are references to Harry Potter. Also Nika's pic is tagged as Millbank The house teaser in the OP's pic if it's not another American theme i reckon judging by the rendering it could be a first half 20th century British house it's not uncommon for homes of this time to be partially or fully covered in render. Won't be Art Deco as the windows and door are wrong for the potential theme 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't looked at the tags (or visited Millbank), but now I agree - only that first photo posted in this thread is likely to be relevant to the new theme. (But I'm now looking around Millbank and have yet to find that building in the Harry Potter picture. Only 3 other people in the region but it's *very* laggy.) Found the "Gotta get more candy" house, sans creepy doll in the window. So, yeah, definitely Millbank and not a teaser.

With the granite step in front and the dark door, it reminds me of old homes in Sicily that are stucco and front directly onto the street. If we think in terms of wattle and daub generally instead of 'Tudor', as this building style goes back centuries, it's possible it might be a similar style and could be seen as more of a 'new' theme if the building shape is less square or there's a thatched roof or something. For example I found a site talking about traditional and contemporary Korean homes ( http://holzhueter.blogspot.com/2013/03/traditional-and-contemporary-natural.html) . Some traditional ones use wattle and daub, with regional variations. Some pics: The first one shows one style and you can see the stone floor at the base. The way the house looks in Patch's pic really reminds me of this look in terms of the wood and the walls. We can also see elements of this style over at Meauxle Bureaux (the Mole's village for those who may not be aware of it) in the center part of this building: We also see similarity in the old Elderglen homes. And since Patch mentioned there might be reference to some of the old LHs, the theme after the stilts could be the equivalent to the Elderglen, i.e. 'fantasy' style home. And Peter Pan and Game of Thrones are both 'fantasy', if these are clues:) Edited November 1, 2020 by Evangeline Arcadia 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nika Talaj Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 So ... hmm. We're maybe looking at: Traditional Houseboat Camper/Trailer Victorian Log/Mountain Homes Stilt Homes American Southwest? Or ... or .. or .. The Final Frontier? Weren't there originally going to be 8 themes, and then at some interview Patch mentioned 10? I wonder if that's a firm number?

Cinnamon Mistwood Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) I don't know. It could be a new hobbit hole/Medieval type fantasy house like in the old Linden home areas. For the door person here - I know it's not round 😄 Wasn't the next theme suppose to be notably different? I hope it's something besides just another squarish house with different siding. I am hoping for something really different. I can dream on the Peter Pan/Neverland theme, though. How many different home styles would there be? Tree houses, houseboats (like floating pirate ships 😜) mermaid homes, fairy glens, mountains, cave homes. It could be an updated Elderglen. If it's some of the moles favorite, what would they enjoy building? Edited November 2, 2020 by Cinnamon Mistwood spelling, commas, extra word.
