Oh thank you so much! I did lots of shopping for new lower LI decor! As well as removing shadows from things, linking things, and also wound up making myself a new low LI fence to replace the one I mentioned above. I'm really happy with how much I managed to squeeze in! I'm really glad you liked it

I would consider AR'ing that, if I were you. I don't feel like linden housing is an appropriate place to be parking a ton of bots (though to be fair, I don't recall seeing a rule against it, either.)

That was my assumption, yes. However, enough full regions of linden housing to satisfy demand will eventually be added, one way or another. Rather than spend time decorating every region by hand, which uses prims and takes time, it seems simpler, faster, and more efficient to upgrade water regions that require no additional decoration. Just a dozen water regions with skybox housing means potentially as many as ~600 new home lots that could be available very quickly, with minimal effort. As for how having water plots for skyboxes differs from buying mainland and not building on the ground... it doesn't really! But neither does having a skybox in mainland differ from having a skybox in Bellisseria, yet here we are. I suspect there's a number of people unaware that their free 1024 allotment can be used towards mainland. I also suspect there's a desire to be near the shiny new continent. Perhaps providing nearby skybox parcels may satisfy both needs This is not at all to say that people should not be allowed to decorate or not decorate, use or not use their home in Bellisseria as they see fit. But it would provide a very simple way to add a large number of parcels near the new continent in a very short amount of time, and may be adequate to satisfy the needs of those who are uninterested in the house itself or in the community aspect. If given a bonus prim allotment, as discussed earlier in the thread, I could see this option being very appealing to those who are less interested in the other amenities the continent has to offer. Either way, I'm very happy with what's already being done and would not be at all upset to continue with exactly what we have (but more of it). I just saw the potential value in the suggestion, that's all

There is no waiting list. Just follow this thread to receive an email when new houses are added: The alternative is continuing to refresh the "Customize Your Home" page until you see the new homes appear, but I believe most users who were going to abandon their homes have done so at this point. So your best bet is to keep your eyes peeled for the new batch of houseboats that will be released soon (likely in the next week or two, I'm guessing)

I actually really like the idea of putting some of the water regions to use as 1024 skybox housing. Perhaps set them up with single prim "floors" at the 2k level and restrict them to using the new security orb in the sky only, with public access required at the ground level. There are all of those new ocean regions connecting Bellisseria to the neighboring continents, as well as the regions in the center of the lake... Prime real estate! Perks: Users who only want a free skybox, can have one, without taking homes from those who want them Mermaids can build those deeper underwater grottoes they've been talking about here on the forums! No decor is needed outside of home parcels, so all of that unused LI can still be put towards the rezzing of boats and planes like it is now More 1024 home parcels added to satisfy demand, without adding to the moles' workload in finishing new regions; just parcel and go! @Patch Linden thoughts?

I chose the Winchester for the increased floor space! I love the front porch on the thinner two story, and love that the stairs on that model are right in the front entryway, but the larger rooms on the Winchester sold me. Especially with the upstairs being one large, open room ❤️ If an open floor plan house gets made in the future, it will be a major contender for me!

It's my intention to only keep one house, in the end. I was unhappy with the first location I got for my main so tried with my alt, just to see what I'd get... and landed in a spot that I liked quite a bit more! So then I began rerolling my main to see if I could luck out again, and so far haven't yet. I'm holding my alt's home temporarily, as I may decide long term that that is the one I actually want to live in, while I decide what I'll be doing with my main account (keeping, rerolling, giving up). My intention is to keep (and use!) this home for years to come, so I want to be sure that I'm happy with it! I want a home location that brings me as much joy as the continent as a whole does

I've had much the same experience! I missed the initial rush too, but have hedged my bets and rolled and abandoned 4 times trying to get a nice lot near a public community feature. I managed to find a location on my alt that I'm relatively happy with! But my main is a tough choice. It's about as landlocked as it's possible to be right now, and has no community gathering places nearby (something that I really love in this continent and want to make frequent use of). It is however near my best friend, and that's a high selling point! It's growing on me just for having a friend nearby. I think I may be holding my twitchy finger until new traditional home sims open up, to see if I can get my ideal location of a traditional home near a public beach or pool. But who knows; in that time, my current house may have grown on me

just search the map for regions named SSP

No houseboat for me! I have a traditional home. The houseboats went quick!

I'm curious to know if anyone has plans to reroll for a new location when the new housboats go in! I'm SO very tempted, but also nervous that I may miss out, or may get a location I like less. The gamble is a bit appealing, though! What are your plans?

I don't think the Lindens realized how high the demand would be! Interest in Linden Housing has been... slim, to say the least, in years past. I think they are just as blown away by this new development as we are! And to be fair, word did go out, if you were paying attention. These houses were announced months ago, were put on display at the Home & Garden Expo, and a blog post AND video by Torley were put out when they opened up. I'd say that's a fair bit of communication! Don't be too discouraged! I also missed the memo until after homes were already gone, but I managed to get one. And I imagine all of those new houseboat areas will be coming VERY soon - they're looking pretty complete, and I see 4-6 dots a day of moles working to get them finished! Stay on the lookout

Yes, this! Horse and bike trails would be lovely! I'd also love some larger inland community areas as you fill in sims in the future! The Hartnell community pool area, for example, is a really great size for a public gathering spot. But the other community areas I've found or visited (except the lighthouse islands) feel slightly claustrophobic to me, and I wonder if others feel the same way. I like to have lots of room for my camera! I would enjoy spending more time in community areas with large, open, airy spaces. Larger community gathering points would also serve to break up the cookie-cutter feeling as you move further inland, and add more scenic value to homes father from the shore

I would be thrilled to have visitors at my house in Maple Cross! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Maple Cross/73/70/23

I added a public animesh riding horse rezzer in front of my house! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Maple Cross/73/70/23

I finished my front porch addon for my Winchester! I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I wound up doing two versions, one with a fence around the porch and one without. The porch is on marketplace, if anyone else would like one I'm so happy with the dimension this adds to the front of my house! I think another day I may consider making some dormers or something. I just adore a varied roof line!

LL will be putting out a free orb per the security thread. After that goes out, other orbs won't be allowed any more. But right now, I think it's okay as long as it's not too aggressive. I think the gist is to be kind and open to your neighbors

I would; clicking the dysfunctional mailbox is what caused my house to disappear. Might be better to have it reset now, and prevent you possibly spending a day or two later with no house

I made a quick front porch addon today! I'll spend a bit of time sorting out UVs and textures a little nicer, but wanted to post progress! I love the dimension it adds to my Winchester ❤️

Shhhhhhh we don't want them to be secret! Don't give them ideas

It is awesome and incredible to me that your exchange worked out despite time delay blips! What a great community ❤️

That looks lovely, Matty! Where did you find the roof texture? It's very well matched!

The way temp attach works is that the item needs to be rezzed on the parcel first, then it will request to attach to you. So you DO need enough LI on the parcel for it to rez in the first place, but once attached, it will no longer count against your LI

I spent a lot of my prims on my picket fence, two animesh horses, and a barn! As soon as I've finished it, I will be adding a temp horse rezzer so neighbors can "borrow" one of my horses and go on a trail ride around the continent

The biggest prim expenditures in my home are my picket fence (29 LI), my two horses (29 LI each), and my barn (31 LI). I realize I could do SO much more with my home if I cut one or more of those things but I just love them so much! Now that my fantasy faire creations are out of the way, my next project will be making a horse rezzer so that anyone can rez and ride a temp copy of one of my horses. I've been itching to do a few trail rides around the new continent myself, so I suspect my neighbors might appreciate being able to borrow a horse or two as well
