foneco Zuzu Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Well the new theme is a lot dull i must say. For sure we will see lots of great add ons for them, but personally, nothing beats the logs so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have very little interest in the Log Homes or Campers or Victorians or even the upcoming Stilt homes. I love the Traditionals and the Houseboats -- and I'm very much looking forward to playing with these new Chalets. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syo Emerald Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I love the Log Homes and Houseboats. And I will enjoy strolling through the Chalet neighborhoods, as much as I enjoyed running through the camper ones, even if they don't catch me enough to get them. I will try out a Stilt, when they come out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire Atheria Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 1 hour ago, arabellajones said: That wasn't how they looked to me. Looks like a particular sort of Mock Tudor, the sort of fakery built in the 1930s with stucco and wooden slats hiding the conventional house-building of the time. All the houses have the name "chalet" in them (if you right-click to see their name), so that's all I was implying. After I posted that, Patch also confirmed they would be called chalets -- someone else had asked in-world when the region opened. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foneco Zuzu Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 And on one thing we all can agree; this new theme will not be a shocking contrast, so i guess it will blend nicely with the rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nika Talaj Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Well, @Patch Linden , if next year you do Pueblo Style homes in, hopefully, a desert landscape, you already have the perfect teaser pic! Still a little puzzled about that pipe organ! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foneco Zuzu Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Visited the region and i really liked the way they are integrated with the scenario. I would prefer to see them more on a landscape like the logs but there 2 styles that really look very nice.

Someone had posted before that the supplied colors would be subtle so that nothing looks like an easter egg. Thus, I'd guess that purchased exteriors will need to stay in a similar palette or risk being disallowed. They did crack down on those that tried to go bold with the Victorians. I've run across a few really wild exteriors in the Traditionals that I have reported, but no clue if they are still there as I never went back to check. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I didn't know that. I have seen a couple of appalling Vics with each panel a different day-glo color. Maybe I should AR next time I see them, because they look awful compared to the rest of the neighborhood. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrudenceAnton Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 This was posted earlier in chat in world. The demo region is open!!! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/American Cancer Society/126/238/24 [06:22:16] Patch Linden: There will be 8 floor plans btw, the 4 represented here, and 4 more "open concept" floor plans [06:26:07] Patch Linden: The inspiration was German, specifically prototyped after the village of Helen, GA in the northeast Georgia mountains. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Voyager Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) Here are some of my snapshots of the new preview homes. I love the Chalet Windmill as it fits in rather well. Edited December 5, 2020 by Daniel Voyager 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Bunny Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I was not expecting to like these as much as I do, but they incorporate aspects of everything I like about the other houses. The layout of the Matterhorn feels like a cabin got together with a Hardy and had a baby. (An inevitable consequence of mixing different types of housing on the same region, I suppose.) I don't know which is my favourite but am leaning Alpenrose because it seems the most bathroom-friendly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthieu Quander Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) I still don't understand the doors, but maybe they will replace them before the homes are released. As for using homes in Helen, GA for inspiration, I have a feeling that this wasn't the first time that they have done that.

Maitimo Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I went to look today and... I kind of like them. If I still owned 4096m of mainland I'd happily have bought one. But on a 1024m parcel I think they are much too big and it will be difficult to decorate them adequately within the LI limits. If they were the same size as the Trads, I'd be wanting to go for one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coby Foden Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Well, hmm... I like the streets and the tiled sidewalks. They look so organized and clean. 😁 The landscaping is also neat. And pretty flowers here and there! The houses need more inspecting to be able to say something about them. I guess I would like more about the next four coming house types with more open floor plan. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claireschen Hesten Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Having seen them in the flesh i wont be trying for one of them they look nicer on the outside than they do on the inside. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eirynne Sieyes Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) I think these would feel more at home in a hilly, snowy, wintery Bavarian setting. Edited December 5, 2020 by Eirynne Sieyes 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am left wondering which town in the US has all of the Victorian styles in it. (ETA: my money is on Savannah, GA, a lovely town which has a Victorian district). I don't think I'll be fishing for a chalet unless there are some in less dense regions with more interesting geography. I bet there will be, though, so I'm looking forward to seeing the open floorplans. These are being shown on a region which is at the same water level as usual. I wonder if that'll be the case, or if they will be at a higher level, ringed by mountains, with no oceanic connections, like the logs?
