    I made a little sandbar beach off the starboard bow of my houseboat. It's small, keeps with the theme, and looks more realistic than the popular (and equally legal) docks that surround many houseboats. If it's my sandbar that offends, go ahead and report it -- I don't think it's going anywhere.

    ...........and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.    It is nice that we have the option of adding to the landscaping and yes even houseboats.

    Too many to list. People covering their 100% beach lots with tacky square grass, massive 3rd floor additions over height limits, snow prims in grassy regions, sand covering water around houseboats, anchored docks on waterfront parcels, just to name a few prevalent ones! 

    Everyone has their own definition of tacky.  People like to complain about all these things and post pictures, however, some can't be bothered to AR stuff when they see it.  And from what I have seen Bellisseria is still much nicer than mainland if you want consistency and no ban lines.

    When I decided that I was going to get a LH in Belli I asked myself how much others decorating might bother me.  Decided that it wasn't going to be an issue cause I use firestorm and I can just derender if they aren't doing anything wrong.  I have many neighbours who have eccentric or quirky ways of decorating.  If one wants the perfect view everywhere they go then buy mainland or rent on a private estate or use a viewer that you can have the option to derender.

  3. My alt caught this victorian in Oleander:

    and when you look from the front you can see the bridge.  Very lovey area.  I also like that there is train tracks on the one side, the ocean is on the other side, it feels private yet is open and no heavy fencing in front.  Still lots of abandoned parcels to be had in areas you might be looking for.  Don't give up for those still looking.  I also imagine when the new theme is announced we might see more abandons as people get ready for the release.

    Such a beautiful sim name... shame about the view, all homes blocked by mountains.

    Well some people would rather be surrounded by mountains.  This region is a wonderful area for that.  I did release mine as for me it was a little too boxed in.  But is was a lovely parcel.

  5. Got a lovely Victorian in Banebury yesterday.  What is ironic is that when the Victorians were first released I got the white house on that one side and that was before all the landscaping on that mountain was completed.  Nice to see that they just went with landscaping and no houses behind it.

    I think we all get the fatigue. My motivation for decorating comes in spurts (heh). I left the boat empty until the neighbor complained to me... and even then, I really waited until the urge hit again. 

    There's not a thing wrong will leaving a house, or boat, or camper, sitting empty until you find the inspiration or motivation. 

    and this!  I don't understand people's fixation because others leave their plots empty.  Even the older LH lots of people didn't decorate them.  These parcels are nice even without filling up your house or yard.   When i first get a parcel I like I always spend more time just walking around it and admiring how nice everything looks before i start decorating.  I think people too feel more pressure to get the decorating done just because these places are so nice.  But people are not obligated to decorate them if they don't want to.

    This is me. If I can't get inspired to decorate a new parcel in a reasonable amount of time, it's almost surely because I'd rather do my nomad thing than settle down, no matter how nice the parcel is. 

    Exactly this too.   Sometimes you find that the parcel you wanted the most just doesn't work for you.  When I first started all this home hopping I had an image in my mind that i wanted a nice green property totally private and no sand.  Well one of my favorite parcels has ended up being a sand one and it is open. 

    Also we sometimes think that we HAVE to keep a parcel because everyone else thinks it is great, but we feel bad cause we don't and then think we are a little nuts for wanting to give it up cause we have been saying "i got the perfect plot I have been looking for" .   Not that I am telling you to give the parcel up, but I know I have released parcels that some would think I was nuts for letting go.

  8. I take forever decorating any home I have.  Thru my hopping I have discovered that each parcel is different and requires a different house and look and add ons.  And sometimes I can work with the house and sometimes I can't.  Or the landscaping is not working for me.  

    Also don't feel pressured that you have to have it all decorated in one day.  I take weeks and weeks to decide what I want to use and place things one at a time.  Sometimes I get halfway done and start over with another house.

    And honestly as long as I have an alt that is hopping around I will probably always be looking for something else just to see what is out there.  Part of me doesn't want to be done looking and there is also a new theme coming out at some point.   We could just very well be nomads wanting to wander throughout Belli.

  9. Just got back from checking out all the houses/campers/HB.  Wow is all I can say, I am just stunned by what you guys and gals have come up with!  I only hope one day I can decorate as good as that.   Great job done by all of you.  I can see that a lot of heart and soul was put into these.  Just so much awesomeness in one place!

    And again, thank you all for taking the time to decorate these show homes for us.  It really does give people a good idea on what they can do with these.    And now I am in copy heaven 😁.
