Hadn't been on for a day or two so I missed the camper release. Abandoned a houseboat to try to grab one to check it out. Caught one within 2 minutes. Not sure if I'll stay but I'm liking this theme/area more than I thought I would. Mine is close to the train tracks and I just saw someone go by on a train. So cute.

I don't know if others are seeing this but seem to be catching a lot more abandons now. I've caught two already (and tossed back). The micro-exodus has begun... 😏
Yes, seen a ton of houses in the last little bit. Also saw (and missed) a houseboat.

Seen quite a few traditionals tonight and zero houseboats. Are houseboats just that popular in comparison to traditionals or are there just less of them to go around?

There really is a very wide time range for abandoned properties to become available, from seconds to hours. I have abandoned a property in the past and it took 16 and a half hours to go back into the system and get a new owner.
Oh wow. I didn't realize it could take that long. All the ones I had released before had been taken within a couple of minutes tops.

Abandoned a house in Cadhaire a little bit ago, someone claimed it within a few minutes and abandoned it again. Now it's been at least 30 minutes since they abandoned it and it hasn't been claimed yet. Any idea why it might be taking so long? I don't think it's even been released yet.
Edit: Finally got tired of waiting around to see if it got claimed but as of 31 minutes after I made this post, it was still owned by Governor Linden. Weird.

FYI for anyone who's looking... I've seen a ton of houses go by in the last few hours. No houseboats yet, though.

Are there any demos/rezzers still available inworld anywhere to see the different types of houseboats?

Tho i do not know what automatic refresh is, Congrats Malvina, so happy you got what you wanted
I think automatic is how some people use an app or browser extension or whatever to refresh the page every so many seconds so they don't have to sit and do it by hand.

Happy end to a long 'story'. The last two days I was intensely debating with myself if I should stop trying to get a houseboat because the daily disappointment over such a long time was kind of getting to me. Somehow I couldn't get used to it or find a more distant and not so emotional inner perspective. Instead it felt as if my skin got kind of thinner every time I failed - if that makes any sense. I wasn't angry at anyone nor did I blame anyone. I know it was pure bad luck, nothing else. But somehow I knew I couldn't give up because it was tied into a lifelong RL dream of mine, that is living next to or on any kind of water. But this will never be possible. Because, well, you live where the job is that pays your bills. So I logged on today and monitored the regions that might be likely to release, saw Patch's blue dot, started the refresh frenzy and ... I got my houseboat! Geeze, I was shaking, crying real tears of joy and I am still not my usual self, feel like drugged in a way. lol I am so so so incredibly happy!!!😄 And I had some extra luck because it is on a square lot which I prefer but never thought I would get. When I raise my draw distance a bit I can even see the lighthouse in the distance! Pure bliss, I feel like being in paradise!😄
Congrats also to all who got a house or houseboat in Gangway!!!😄
Also I wanted to share a small piece of info of my refreshing experience that might help those who are still trying. What I noticed is, that the three times I actually did see a houseboat as an option to choose were always happening when I was inworld and did see the region release. I really paid attention to the region restart today and started manually refreshing the very second it came back up. I guess had I waited for an automatic refresh and an alarm I might have missed the release, but of course I can't tell for sure.
Congrats! I know I'm pretty late to responding to this but I'm so happy for you. I check back in on this thread a lot and was rooting for you. Enjoy.

Congrats to your friend, I'm really happy for her/him! 😄
And once more bad luck for me. Have not even seen it or any other houseboat if there were any in this release.
Geeze, sometimes I feel so incredibly disheartened, me goes to a quiet corner to cry a bit. Or a bucket.
Don't give up. I've had several houseboats show up for me outside of release times. You just have to be persistent and keep trying. I've had the most luck later at night in my timezone (EST) which would be around 9-11PM SLT.

There's been much speculation but I don't think anyone knows. I think there has been talk of a train or railroad, something of that nature. I'm near it as well. Congrats, Ashton Is one of the latest releases. Maybe a week or two ago? It's hard to keep up, lol.
Thanks. I haven't been following this thread too long so I wasn't aware. I thought it was just glitching badly. Definitely an eyesore right now. I hope they fix it soon, especially since my house is on the edge that borders it and overlooks it from the back. Really interested to see what they do with it. It's a bit confusing with the random camels right now...

Just snagged one in Ashton Village (assuming an abandoned one, haven't really been keeping up with the region releases). It's not beachfront but there is a cute little lake behind it so I'm not too sad about it. Does anyone know what's going on with the sim behind it (Millbank)? I'm not sure if things just aren't rezzing properly for me or not but it looks odd.

Saw a houseboat go by about 10 minutes ago (9PM SLT). This is the second time I've been able to catch Bellisseria but both times have been houseboats and I'm looking for a house. :( Gets my hopes up every time.

Price reduced to $5,000. Need to sell this asap.

Selling my 512 roadside parcel so I can upgrade to a 4,096. It's a nice, flat roadside parcel in an adult sim (Pfeiffer). Asking 10,000L (I paid a little over 14k for the parcel originally). Might be willing to negotiate on price but I want to at least make some of my money back. Feel free to IM me with any questions.

I might do that if I can't find it any other way. I didn't really wanna bug the owner over something like that but it's starting to look like that's the only way I'm gonna find it.
-
Ok, I'll have to try that. I didn't really think that it might be a tattoo. Thanks. And I'm pretty sure the shop was called Beauty Killer, if I'm remembering right.
-
I searched that and I found one that looks similar but it's not exactly the same. It doesn't look as good as the one in the picture. Thank you though.
-
Ok, tried to post it again. Let me know if it worked or not. This is my first time posting on here so forgive me if I'm a little clueless.
-
That's weird. It's showing for me. Let me see if I can fix it.

I really really need help with this. I was in a store today that had a lucky board. They were giving away a dress and the avatar in the picture had this amazing skin that I'm dying to have. I'm not having any luck finding it so I'm gonna post a picture of it and hopefully someone can help me out. Unless it's just not even for sale. I have to have it though. :matte-motes-frown:
When did you last see a Bellessarian home available?
