No need for sorries, we all know that a busy Mole means more pretty shinies to play with

Saw @Dyna Mole in the 3 region hiking area today and gushed at her about how lovely everything was there before we realized she was wearing a cube & so likely afkish on Mole Business

slow clap for leaning into SL being a place where if you dream it, you can build it; even slower clap for having not one merry fig to give about such concepts as "load bearing" or "architectural integrity"

Came to a really surprising conclusion this week: campers are my favorite Linden Home. Surprising because in real life my wife, my dogs & I have all squeezed into a 610 sq ft home for well over a decade and while IRL I do like the way small living focuses one, ie. less clutter, more time spend on experiences rather than things, I always had mansions in SL to compensate and indulge my inner decorator. On mainland, I've owned so many sprawling huge houses over the years. I got my first Linden Trad back in April, the month they launched and I've tried most every style of LH, except for the bungalows/ ranch style houses, because I just assumed I'd find them too constraining. The landscaping of the camper regions and Campwich Forest really impressed me tho, so a couple of my alts let go of very nice properties .... and I'm in love. The landscaping, the atmospherics, the coziness. I'm done house flipping. Sailing and photography from now on 😛 So here's to all the Moles and their artistic wonders!

Be fun to take a train trip that transitions to a road or scooter trip before ending with a swim/ picnic

So, I've so fallen in love with camping in SL that I had one of my alts actually give up her HB for a camper and I lucked into one in The Beaten Path near the train station I know other train stations I've seen are rez enabled and I wondered if we could have a rez zone for all the stations or is that logistically not feasible; please @Patch Linden ?

Ya, my wife is pretty skilled with our Pacha and can even navigate some trickier canals with her, but our lil cigar boat is still the go to til they give us a few more water regions of "cushion" around the edges 😛

With regions named Lake Hali, Carcosa, and Yorith... one should definitely be aware that residents with familial ties to these regions... many reaching back generation upon generation to forefathers lost in the Stygian fog of history; may not welcome johnny come latelies prying into matters whut don't concern 'em.

if wishes were campers, my alts would all toast marshmallows

I admit I hadn't thought of that... what process would that entail, I wonder?

I too am finding I log into my camper more than my Vics (much as I love them). The tranquil feeling of a lake in the woods is really made immersive with the soundscaping and the landscaping is gorgeous. Kudos to all the Moles, but Garden & Squishy really outdo themselves on the reg

For myself, I'd err on the side of "if my neighbors don't want to see this, how much am I asking them to de render?" IE: a boat is one object... a three story add on with a ton of furniture... that is an entirely different story. Even there tho... not everyone uses browsers that have a de render function, so I lean toward less is more with add ons. In theme is a bigger pet peeve of mine tho. Still, for the most part, I de render & get on with my life unless something just tramples the covenant.

LOL, I know the Lindens have no incentive to do this... but yes, if I could ask a genie for a wish: premiums could claim one 1024 LH or two 512 LH 😛 I've kind of fallen in love with the woodsy/ lakey camper areas and finding I may care more about atmospheric ambiance than about home size, rather surprising myself about that. But it shows just how good Mole landscaping is

using that same technique to grab all copy items as a coalesced object is a key to a Game of Homes quick move in/out too

My de rend button is going to ask for overtime pay and a vacation... that said, if it's not breaking covenant...

in both directions (compliments to my wife are deserved but also may persuade her to put up with my nonsense...:P)

That is def the most egregious thing I've seen so far, and given the competition... wow. I mean it was inevitable- there must be a formula. A= # of new residents x hours since release ... find for most obnoxious, flagrant disregard for the covenant. SMDH.

Serious question: what happens to repeat offenders. Not the people whom, once they actually read the covenant, try to be in compliance, but the people (there's always "that" person) who try to bend, break, find the loophole, etc... it must take time to deal with them, time I'm sure Lindens could spend on other matters....?

It is absolutely a beautiful location, so glad you caught it - was the very last trad I held onto, just so I could see the houseboats from the Winchester balcony, may it be a wonderful home to you!

Heh I let that one go yesterday to try for a camper with water views; enjoy, Elora ^^

I don't mind 5 a day, but some code to lock us out from receiving dupes within a 24 hr period would be appreciated.

Been playing Game of Homes now that there are enough homes that drop dead gorgeous abandons are coming up frequently. My catch of the week was a HB right across from the LoA (Light of Aurelius) light house. I can grab the dock over there without a map- nice for a quick TP & rez out a boat.

so it begins... honestly, there's just a huge influx of people who clicked ok on the covenant with a merry TLDNR. Be polite & encouraging, certainly, but thanks to all holding the line against the worst examples of "mainlanding" Bellisseria.

Nice Trad in Poseidon Peak-private corner, back overlooking the river, rez zone in front... catch her if you can http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Poseidon Peak/236/59/39

I think a number of us, me included, are scheming how to get our alts with dream properties to leave them to our mains in their wills 😏
