Claire Richelieu Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Hello. I have recently returned to SL after being gone over a decade & discovered Linden Homes after a week or so of being back. I managed to claim a Victorian which I adore but there are two different Mole created pathways on the property. One is obviously for the front door. What is the purpose of the second pathway? It's seems oddly out of place. Any answers are appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since such is not common amongst all of the homes, can you post a picture? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After exploring the neighborhood I have notice a few other homes with them as well. It seems quite random. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elena Blossom Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Is it possible that you have a driveway? Some Victorians have them 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes Avon Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I had that with a Vic I had. I wasn't sure the purpose of it either, but I took the matching texture from my creator's pack and extended it and made it a walkway. Not all Vics have it. They are all a bit different when it comes to landscaping. Some people turn it into a driveway with a garage. I wish I had a better picture of what I used it for, but this is all I have. On the far right, you can kind of sort of see how I extended the cement up to my patio room. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elena Blossom Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I have one in my Victorian parcel too, I just don't use it, like most of the ones I've seen around. I think I've just seen one car parked in the victorian theme 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Patch Linden Posted May 12, 2021 Administrators Share Posted May 12, 2021 It was an "artistic design choice" for that parcel due to that centered tree in front of the house. 🙂 On edit: A lot of people as mentioned, use it as a driveway. 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your place looks lovely but I am seriously considering giving the plot up until another Victorian becomes available. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nika Talaj Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Welcome back, Claire! If you decide to keep your Vic, here's a couple of ideas for vehicles. They've gotten a LOT nicer to drive since you were last in SL! Here's a couple of vehicles that look cute in a Vic's driveway and seem to drive well. The golf cart is particularly adorable and geared pretty low, so it drives well on Linden roads. The taxi lets you set your own gearing, and is of course free! Drop me a note if you want one. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Caddie-Golf-Cart-PERFECT-VALENTINES-GIFT/18942569 https://community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/464144-taxis-back-from-the-shop/?tab=comments#comment-2213721 Btw, Belli has a lot of rez zones, if you don't wish to dedicate ~30 LI to a car in the driveway. [You can get a list of the Bellisseria rez zones from the notices in the Bellisseria Citizens Group (Jon re-issues it ever few weeks), or you can use a freebie rez zone detector gadget to find rez zones in whatever region you're in. If you want such a gadget, drop me a note in the forums or inworld & I'll send you one)]. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moles Abnor Mole Posted May 12, 2021 Moles Share Posted May 12, 2021 Yes, the first it a pathway that leads to the front door. The other (if yours has one) is meant as a carriageway if you want to build one (or not, it's up to you). Both end right at the property line of your actual parcel. There are items in the content pack you can get from the mailbox out front that will allow you to extend them into your parcel if you choose. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many folks in lots of the various themes have added driveways and garages. Some put fully drivable vehicles there, but quite a few just pick up really low LI non-functioning cars to have as props at their house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eirynne Sieyes Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) My Vic has one of those and I love the versatility. Initially I didn't know what to make of it either. Once I figured it out it was set up with a paver driveway housing a garage at the far end. Later it was converted into a carport along the side of the home - complete with a roadster I drove around in lots. Most recently the driveway has been dug up and the opening has been closed off to become part of the sandy garden. It is fun to switch stuff around! If you are happy with the parcel, hold onto it. That's the hardest part by far. Edited May 13, 2021 by Eirynne Sieyes 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't open the content pack from the mailbox but will do so next time I am in world. Also, lovely job on the neighborhoods. Please let your Mole family know that they are a delightful addition. Perhaps I would have returned much earlier had I known of their existence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maitimo Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 @Claire Richelieu you have a lovely parcel there. This super-cheap pack has some nice vintagey cars which would look good around the Vic theme. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Latest-and-revised-gtfo-cars/15325988 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
