    When did you last see a Bellessarian home available?

    All true!  I sent someone to look at both.  For me, Coral Bay would be the keeper.  At Fish Tale, it felt like there was a lot of stuff looming over the parcel.  The lighthouse with all its houseboats is so close that it felt to me like it was looming over your place, and of course tho Pyri is indeed kinda cool, it's also really looming over Fish Tale.  And, the traditional homes RIGHT in back of you are also sort of looming.  In Coral Bay, you have cute landscaping on two sides, open water in front, and an awful build next door.  Derender and wait for that person to decide that Coral Bay is not tropical enough.  And yes, the water around Fish Tale is nice, it has cool sort of 'destinations' here and there, but it is not at all far from Coral Bay.

    I have a feeling we are all going to make the decision harder for her! hahahaha

    @Pussycat Catnap  I went and checked out both.  I can't decide which one I would pick,  they both are fabulous locations.  I am more partial to open water though so Fishtown looks like it has more of that and the lighthouse is a plus.  I usually keep my draw distance around 120 at the max when I am home so for me the mountain wouldn't be a problem, however, if i had to look at it all the time then that would be a deal breaker for me.

    Coral Bay has a very unique entry and it is nice and green and that is a plus for me.   It also faces open water another plus,  however I feel a bit more boxed in with that one, but just a bit and not enough to be a deal breaker for me.

    And yes, it is your decision! 🤣.  I don't think you can really go wrong with either location.  If you really are not sure then you can keep it for another month and decide then.

    My alts and I :)  had a run of good luck the past 24 hours catching and releasing camper spots located next to water. As far as I know, they are all abandons, so don't let anyone tell you there aren't great "used" parcels out there! Here is one in Sparkle Bottoms that I'm keeping for the time being: 

     

    I am always amazed at the parcels that people abandon.  I have gotten some great waterside parcels that way.  I myself have also abandoned waterside parcels.  One has to just keep trying.

    Hopefully not, but if the use of Linden homes addons like those becomes generalized, Linden should create a specific AR for report this.  It's clearly offensive and ruins people experience.  I tremble just thinking that someone could use those kind of addons next to my home, without doubt I would be forced to leave my lovely home at Neville.

    I would use derender before I would leave my favorite plot.  But I use firestorm.

    i'm up to about 35 attempts at trying to get the kind of houseboat i'm after (and i'm not that fussy, any in about 6 regions will do me). I have either got one I've already previously abandoned (about 50% of the time), or I end up nowhere near where I want to be. At the time of typing, the few locations that were high on my wishlist have now all been taken, probably when I slept :(

    I don't know how people actually enjoy this game of homes thing, it's damn frustrating honestly.

     

    I think getting a good houseboat location is harder then a house.  The HB are usually placed pretty close together and it is harder to get a location where you aren't boxed in by other boats or have a good view that isn't other houseboats. 

    I do hope you find what you are looking for :) .  Yes GOH is frustrating even for those that have several alts.

    Release and catch, or straight to maintenance?

    in Linden Homes

    I let a parcel go in Baxter a few days ago when there were no more Victorians showing up on the page.  It took over 1 hour or maybe even longer for someone to get it.  I didn't stand there the whole time but i did go back and forth and check.

    Personally I wouldn't chance trying to catch a parcel I absolutely loved on my main by having my alt release it.  I think the odds were better when there were less houses.  I also have a traditional on one of my alts and I couldn't ask for a better parcel.  There is only 5 houses in the region along with other pros that I totally love, so there is no way I am giving this one up.   So I will just buck up and pay for that alt so that I can just keep it. 

    The nice thing too about having your alt own your favorite is that you only need to bring them out to change the type of house.  There is less chance for me to abandon the parcel by accident, cause I do go into parcel details to count prims, etc. while on my main.

    The only parcels I get back over and over again are the ones that aren't working for me! 😀

    My thought when I said to derender was that these very well may be a temporary thing, like the three fountains I have sitting in my front yard at the moment as I decide which to keep. I certainly hope no one would AR right off the bat because I had a few fountains out for a few hours. 

    I don't see how having 3 fountains out is against the covenant anyways.  I am pretty if someone AR'd those it would be thrown in the trash.

    I’ve never rerolled any of the homes I’ve received. I’m fairly easily pleased though, and my main home is on the mainland.

    I’m curious to know though, do those that play the Game of Homes truly believe they will stop when they get their dream home? Will you recognise your dream home when you see it?

    I blame the moles cause they have made such beautiful new homes for us.  And with so many to choose from it is no wonder people want to hop around.  I have done it myself and I am currently still doing it.

    One thing I have seen is that each parcel is truly unique and stunning in it's own way.  There really is something for everyone.  If you are the type that likes to landscape your own property there are properties that have less so that you can do more.  Don't want to bother with the landscaping?  There are lots of properties out there where you can have just that if you are lucky to land on it.   You can be in the middle of everything if you like, or on the outskirts.

    I am also finding that the criteria I set out at the beginning in what I wanted in a parcel has changed.  Which is good cause it gives you more choices.  I find it quite exciting to be part of all this.  I know at some point I will have to pick just one house and I will, but for now I am just going to enjoy the ride.

    I don't see why they couldn't. If people were to use addons it's going to use up prim and then it's harder to decorate.. I wish they would so we wouldn't have to gamble even further. :(

    Yes it would be nice, but that would take away from the whole point of having different themes.  The older homes have different themes and so will the newer ones :) .

    Curious... they even have victorian homes available... can they make this theme available for those who are already getting the traditionals? Because it would be nice to have a bigger selection to choose from. 

    No.  If you want victorian you can either use the add ons that people have made for the traditionals or abandon your traditional and get a victorian one.

    Anybody tried to swap Trads lately and had luck with finding an open ocean view, or are those still as rare as finding a Victorian on a small island :)

    My friend did get a traditional in Ruthsburg, corner lot, sand, ocean view and even a view of the lighthouse about 2 days ago.    They are rare, but it is still possible it seems.   Anytime you try to swap out your house it is a risk.  You never know what you might get.

    @Sylvia Tamalyn  that is just lovely.

    It has been fun playing GOH.   I got this plot a few days ago in Baxter, I will most likely release it in the next few days as I was lucky enough to get ocean front in Bandstand.  Still amazes me the parcels people give up, perhaps this person wanted sand instead and gave this one up and if so I hope they got what they wanted.

    Well I usually avoid driving on the roads with vehicles cause I just lose control.  I'm a menace.  I mostly stick to either my teegle horse, water horse and just got the little shetland pony  from teegle.

    I also have a bubble rezzer:   https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/ButtonJar-Flying-Bubble-Rezzer-MESH/7569446  if you want to check it out you are welcome to try it here:  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Bandstand/223/105/23  it is on the roof.    And sorry in advance I am no where near done decorating.

    For boating I use this one:  https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Boss-Craft-225-V/6270273  I find this one easy to use and I just love the way it looks.   I also just bought their Bambino one.  

    And now I am off to Culprit cause............................................their stuff rocks too!
