    I grabbed a traditional home a couple of hours ago. On moving in, I suspect I can see why the previous occupant abandoned it. The neighbour across the road has hideous outdoor halloween decorations covering the entire house and filling the yard, we are talking animated, fog everywhere and full glow. Even some of the house walls have been covered with bright orange prims.

    Lol that made me laugh because that would be some real life situation were a neighbor just put up so much hideous decorations it becomes a eyesore they not only do it for Halloween but Christmas also but I can for some reason tolerate the Christmas decorations don't know why.

    You can decorate but there is away of it be pleasing to look at compared to a horrible mess.

    I need to go into my inventory and start pulling out a few Halloween decorations for the hubby's home and the houseboat need to pick up a few prims to add and hoping what I have are not heavy on the prim side (sigh!).

    Just curious though what about lag in the new areas? Since they are more beautifully designed then there are more mesh creations right?  Can that lead to lag? Where the info hubs in the old areas the same kind that people without land  can use to set their home areas to ? 

    All based on how many items are in the area some of the regions are smooth and have no lag other have bad lag and can account to yes what people have out in the region.

    Yes of course, i nwould so much like to have a traditional new lindenhome... i fly through the region and looked at a house, it is open for all, showhouse....it,s really beautifull... here is the link.......https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Buitenwijk/228/192/26?fbclid=IwAR0oGWGxfTg_dFAutqMPrGf9nDBizHTSCHjLjTOGpLzC8P082XZ7TvYrM0k

    There is a parade of homes in which you can go around and view homes/houseboats and maybe campers not sure on them as they are fairly new releases. The hud can be received at the Welcome Center in Bellisseria.

    There are ways, though, to choose a beachfront lot or a Japanese style home (or both) and change and renovate and upgrade and alter and change your mind indefinitely, until such time as your ideal Linden Home comes available.  

    You can keep a basic subscription and rent land, subject to other people's covenants and restrictions about what you can rez, leading to a homogenized feel environmentally. 

    Or you can upgrade to premium and buy mainland parcels whose covenants are very permissive, putting precious few restrictions on your styles of builds or landscapes, but with a more chaotic feel environmentally. 

    And when the new Linden Homes are widely available, you can claim and abandon one after another until you finally get one that you're pleased with style and location and neighbours; and you'll have a great place to live in a beautifully landscaped zone, so long as you agree with and abide by the Linden Home covenant.

    Every option comes with permissions and restrictions; however,  I firmly believe paying for the subscription to get all the premium benefits is worth it. Biding one's time on the mainland is good fun!  I too like beachfronts and Japanese styling; on the mainland, I can rez and delete and re-rez new styles as often as I like while I lurk in picture-forums and blogs and see what fresh new things Linden Lab is cooking up for premium subscribers.

    I am not to sure where you getting "You can keep a basic subscription and rent land, subject to other people's covenants and restrictions about what you can rez, leading to a homogenized feel environmentally" but that is not the case for all rented land.

    You are going to be subject to that with linden homes also.

    It is all based on your preferences, and like stated Japanese style homes will only be available right now via the older model homes but another idea you may want to think of I have seen a few of the new model homes (yes the outside may not be Japanese styled) interior/exterior decorated with Japanese themed items and is very lovely, people have placed zen gardens in the backyard and other items inside.

    So all I am trying to say you can fashion the newer homes to your liking/theme, or go with the older ones that are already designed. 

    If you don't go with a premium sub then like stated you have your choice of renting and you can find all types of rentals out there that are to your liking I have done that for many years just because I never liked the older linden homes/mainland. You can go with mainland but have to really search as there can be a lot of eyesore obstructions and no one to prevent it lets just be blunt.

    I am quitting it for today. Got my parcel in Lostbell that is NOT ideal but am trying to make something out of it.

    First thing I bought the big addon by @Trinity Aironaut to have a FRONT balcony.

    But even from that i am underwhelmed by the view ;)image.thumb.jpeg.76b53b3ae99e7db3c290d456f5b4e538.jpeg

    image.thumb.jpeg.3ce3114a1723858a9082ccbdb6b33899.jpeg

    If you think "what the heck is wrong with that view?" just compare it with my view in Axim

    The sea is farther away there still it is more beautyfull! It's all personal taste of course! ;)

     

     

    See our property is exactly positioned the same way yet we see no water at all I am thinking it has to be something that is obstructing the view have to really get on the game and check. Funny thing is we have the same little beach fence in the front just nice that your balcony faces the way of the water where ours does not that may be another reason we cant see the water also.

    I should say like a nice Friday surprise. Not a weekend weekend release, but a before weekend release. But well, I mess a bit with words now.

    Hehe! no biggie we all get tongue tired on here we may have one thought we are trying to get across something interrupts that and then we go off on a different rant.

    Question the homes in badger beach that are across the street from the homes near the water can you see the water?

    It is strange that one of my homes that my hubby holds that is basically setup similar to this area we are unable to see the water yet we are only a block over from it, I need to check if it is my draw distance of maybe it is the elevation of the home being on flat beach sand.

    I am just fluttering around, I was going to try for Lostbell, but this place is great. I have a feeling that LL will do a large weekend release, and open all the three named regions. I can be wrong, but wouldn't it be good if they did? That's houses on grass, on sand, and boat locations.

    Never seen anything released at all on the weekend would be nice for those that work but doubt strongly that will happen.

    My houseboat home (parcel owned by my alt).
    I moved from Squishy Pickle island's Lake Breeze region to Pickle island's Sebek region. I find the Pickle island to be more interesting place to be in than the Squishy Pickle. The Pickle has more variety in landscape because it has both houses and houseboats. Lovely place to explore. ❤️

    What is the deck or pool you are using around the water? Sorry to say if I can purchase I may have to take that concept to my houseboat lol just like the seating areas around it.

    This pool base is 16 LI, all items on the picture. So the backyard area with the pool and large sitting area is not too bad. I suppose I can free a few Li by making my own railing, but I am not so good at small details. I am so pleased with my meshed deck, the parts with brick and various deck material. That is 2 LI after I set the physics part to prim and the others to none. The pool, including the quarter circle and also Maya's pool animations is 3 LI, the railings and stair 7 LI, the pergola and back panel is 4 LI.

    I can get out one or two LI here, but not sure. Making things like railings in mesh is not as easy, it must hold the shape and have working physics.

    I spend less LI here, compared to when I had flowerbeds all around the Continental house.

    I can not give or sell it, since the Maya's part (Animations and quarter circle) are no transfer and so is the stairs, railings and the pergola.

    I may have to contact you Marianne I have an idea that I have been trying to figure out how to accomplish without using alot of prims for a deck patio I want to place in the back of my husband's linden home but parts I am putting together seem to be going over 30 prims tried cutting corners but can't get it down to what I like to have without losing my design concept.

    There are hills to the back but campers down a little and to the left in the photo along the lake. But I find the camping parcels have more privacy (generally from the ones I have had). TY!

    I will have to venture over to the campers area and see what they look like have been away on a business conference all weekend so have not been able to play or login to the game. They seem to be very nice for a small little home (tiny home) what are the parcel sizes on these campers?

    But also like you stated seems that they put even more landscaping thought into the campers from pics I have seen they have lovely trees, flowers, rock formations and then most seem to be around a body of water  (I think may be wrong).

    This is where I now live and why - after all those locations. This is pretty stunning area and I feel that with less LI spent on landscaping I don't miss the extra allowance! I have not decorated at all yet but I don't feel the need to do much at all to the exterior. This was an abandon (as most of my recent campers I got locked out of the release after one go because I had been scooping abandoned boats!) Abandons rule. Campers do too. I take it all back about not being interested in one because of lower allowance!

    Very nice little location have a waterfall and lake also little bridges connecting you to the neighbor. And looks as though you may be somewhat secluded on the other side no neighbor just a hill. Need a home to be like that would be great.

    These reminds me of little in the woods camping retreats need a campfire and some marshmallows while someone tells someone spooky stories.

    Look at this House with a forest around and canal view! It could be yours when it gets to the Land Page

    Very nice watch this be released when you least expect it probably will be today mark my words anytime it is a nice area and a lot of people may what to gain a property in that region they become very sneaky on when it is released like River Run/Light of Auerlia (ok back to finish my post lol at a conference for work and on an off) people expected to be release on a certain date and they released on another.

    The answer is three posts above yours... and it's already been going for a week... and it's available 24 hours a day. 

    Thank you for the information love the want to be moderators and blunt rudeness of some people. People are not on the game 24/7 nor on these forums 24/7 so to tell me it has been going on for a week now and available 24 hours I wanted to know further details.

    I will be away for work and wanted to know if the first stage/hunt will be done on Oct 1 just to get clarification if I am only missing one item or multiple and if I need to have my husband maybe play on my account so I am not missing something good hehe. Will this be different hunts or just a continuation of the same one for the next step/stage so in other words you find the first item now and need to wait until after Oct 1 for the second item when you post the next hint.

  14. Sigh is this going to be ongoing for people that are currently at work and can't get onto the game or only going to be available for a certain time frame. Or will the first hunt clue be available until Oct 1 a bit confused by your post above.

    I just thought I'd mention that when you spot it, you're already too late and the time it takes you to create a post that says "spotted" it is WAY too late, so kind of a moot exercise in posting, unless you're intending to get your post count up. LOL

    Sometimes people post when they see multiple of them pop up because it could be a release happening and warning people to be prepared. Main topic of this post is what "When did you last see a Bellessarian home available?" so people are doing that.

    I think it's partly due to that Bellisseria did NOT come up, but Meadowbrook. I had to go into the drop down menu.

    I shall not say it's the same for all, but on my system, with Google Chrome and auto-refresh, the sound alert pinged. I saw only Meadowbrook, and there was Bellisseria, hidden in the drop down menu. This happened again and again. I am not sure if it was a page glitch or?

    I for one, is used to see Bellisseria as the main picture if it's something available, not in the drop down menu. If I didn't have the Auto-refresh, I would think that Bellisseria was sold out, again!

    Hmm interesting I did not even have my auto refresh on when I got home from work saw people saying the campers had released on here went onto the home screen and refreshed the camper came up, I continued to manually refresh because my friend was at my house and she released the home she got in Capitol Springs or what ever the region name was (the lag was terrible in that area) the campers just kept popping up no matter what I did, finally a house popped up along with a camper in which we where able to snag not sure if she is going to keep or not.

  17. Campers where available all last evening not sure why people had an issue getting one anytime I refreshed the screen they where available, was tempted to take one and abandon it just to see the different versions which I think are 8 different campers but just left them available for people that actually wanted one hopefully people will post pics of the various ones.

    Bah maybe I should get one for the overly high prim count Accessories and Textures pack. Always like to have more decorations just a habit.

  18. My friend stated that she will be releasing the home she got yesterday in Capitol Springs she logged into the game this morning before she left for work but did not release because of rolling restarts and lag. I tried to have her send me a screenshot of the property so people are aware of what it looks like but she was unable to get one so it will go back in the pool around 6pm EST when she is at home. 

    Funny when you have a fellow co-worker that plays the game with you it was nice to see her frustration at the whole process like I did.

    I'm midwest no benefit here during work. I miss all kinds of SL events until I'm inworld each night 7:00 pm SLT or later 9:00 pm in rl. 

    I will visit the new camper regions but I'm not going to live there. Incredible looking clubhouse and land decoration pictures posted I've seen. Well Done Patch Team and Moles!  The citizens of Bellis truly admire your creavity! 

    Yep I feel the pain, and same I will visit the camper area not going to get one myself I went back to renting from other SL players as I got tired of the process right now with these homes and actually got back my ocean view and prims.

    Eww friend said she thinks she got a throw back in Capitol Springs I am not even sure where that is at and like me she can't do anything about it until see gets home it is funny.

    There is a big party there (SPE264) still going on - with Patch and lots of Moles.

    I doubt that anything will be released today ... except champagne and pizza ;)

     

    Told ya love (being sarcastic) that they have these things in the middle of working hours for the East Coast people it is so sad you can't even participate and probably will be done when I get home.
