Fay Starlight Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Maybe the Community Center will also go there? The SSPs are already named too, though no homes yet!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nika Talaj Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Wow! 9 regions so far, east of Salmon Eddy! And the northern edges are sharp dropoffs, so there will be more regions added at some point! Moonstruck is placing homes! No way to tell yet what models the controllers will hold. It looks like there will be quite a few coastal vics. The southern and eastern coasts are already terraformed. And yes, wouldn't be surprised if the Community Center goes there! I wonder if they'll do a land bridge to the main Vic area? *runs around dusting her home in Dimanche* 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polenth Yue Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Hopefully they fill the whole void there (other than the buffer zone for fantasy). It does make the most sense for the community center, as the other unfinished Victorian bit is a squishy edge on the log area. There's more space to work with in the void bit and it's more central to the theme. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marianne Little Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 It would be a dream if they gave us open floorplans for Victorians the same time. And leave no partial walls. I tried the so-called open floorplans in a Chalet. It was so weird. Some whole walls and some "stubs" made it really impossible to use. I abandoned the chalet in less than a week. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalypsoJewel Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Looks like there are some houses further back in SSPRose Wishes. Vics really do have the nicest looking "coastlines". And probably distance views. The fact they're not jam-packed(yet) with houseboats is so nice. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're another who don't like houseboats with Victorians. 🍷 It is not that I dislike houseboats, but I think they clash terribly with 2 styles. Victorians because it looks so out of place, and Stilts because I think the Stilt color scheme is so light and airy, and the dark Houseboat decks/piers look jarring next to the light Stilt ones. The new Houseboats look like they can work nice with Victorians, but not the old models. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The modern homes already have little in ways of ocean views that isn't looking at a future neon-filled parking lot lol. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animats Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Who thought the big win in the virtual world business would be suburban sprawl? Oh, the banality. That's what people want, though. 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tary Allen Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 So, are there houses yet? Curious about Vics openplans, ant it seems they will be released with these new ones. Now just waiting to see if Logs get a new model, smaller, big windows, back door 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what people want, though. The real question is, WHY do we want it? One thing that Belli does is mimic the home-buying experience really well. [At least the American one; never bought a home in another country]. Home-buying is fun; you get to look at a lot of different pieces of real estate, a variety of neighborhoods; etc.. The Game of Homes is fun in almost exactly the same way. SL is offering a way to do a pretty luxe RL activity for very very little money! Relatively few people in RL can afford to actually buy a single-family home, and of those who can, even fewer can buy into a nice neighborhood that they really like, or that has ocean views, etc.. Again, that's where SL comes in. It really scratches that own-your-beautiful-home itch. Getting mainland, finding a home to your taste (or building it!), isn't much like any real estate interaction in RL. Few people get to build their own home; shopping for a prefab in SL is not much like choosing a design to build in RL, you don't fear your neighbors will build a purple castle ... You are mourning that people aren't exploring the creative opportunities of SL when they get a LH. Instead, be happy that so many people are fulfilling an out-of-reach RL dream. 12 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persephone Emerald Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 If we want realism, let's have a suburban neighborhood of small, run-down houses with weedy yards and chain-link fences. The sound environment should be cats and dogs, angry screaming people in the distance, random gunshots and fireworks, and police helicopters giving muffled descriptions of some guy in a hoodie with a backpack. 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can rent in Crack Den if you want that. There used to be a neighborhood like that near me in Kama City. It was about half a sim set up to look like a bad neighborhood in Baltimore. But one day they moved out. It was replaced by one big house with a big park. Gentrification has come to Zindra. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeeTach Littlething Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) There are some houses up now, but they are still 1024 parcels, 32 x 32, so not the Premium plus houses??

Lyric Demina Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 That's ok if they're still 1024 models; they are beginning to look fantastic. And some of the region names are so beautiful Region name has a lot to do with the beauty of a house, and I always look forward to see the new names. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nika Talaj Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 All of the homes have been placed on Vic island, and landscaping is well underway. The coasts are nice - I'm particularly fond of the terraforming on Miercoles (Wednesday!), can't wait to see what the moles do with it. I've been seeing green dots in the SSPVCR region now and then, eager to see where it lands. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nika Talaj Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) Fun ideas for Miercoles, @Abnor Mole It has a very deep inlet (seen below). Would be cool to set the shore up sort of like Miners Landing in Seattle, a deep little harbor. Ferris Wheel A little set of shabby storefronts that people could rent for 3 months via calendar. No commerce, but LMs to inworld store/gallery permitted? Ferry to ... Rigamarole? Since "miercoles" means Wednesday, would be cool if someone made an Addams Family build adjacent to it! Maybe a few PP owners there would find it fun to each do their own Addams interpretation. We could have a Wednesday contest Edited February 10, 2023 by Nika Talaj 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it going to be open floorplans for Victorians? Like it is for the Traditionals? In the future? With the large footprints for Victorians, it could really be something to do creative interiors with. I could make open plan - kitchen/ living room in one... 🤩 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
