    omg Linden Labs copied my decor!!!

    in Linden Homes

    Posted

    I would definately take it as a compliment.

    Okay my take on copying people.  Yes, I have done it cause I am not artistic or very good at decorating.  I can't even decorate in RL least of all doing it in SL.  However, I have gotten better at it.  And I got better at it by copying people.  I think too there are lots of people coming from the older Linden homes and probably didn't really spend a lot of time decorating the older ones and with the new ones, maybe they are feeling a bit overwhelmed.  Copying helps with that.

    I have seen looks I like and I have copied it in my own places if I have the pieces and if I don't I will sometimes buy it cause I like it.  After I set it up that is when I start to make it my own.  I will add things, take things away, change colours, textures etc.  Copying from someone else gives me a starting point.  

    Not all of us are good at decorating or coming up with our own ideas.  Sometimes I don't know where to start so that is why I copy.  I have no problem admitting it and I certainly am not embarrassed about it either.

    It's not too hard right now to get into Bellisseria. The campers are taking time to clear, and people abandon boats and houses often. 1-2 new sims are added per weekday.

    So if you want in, now is the time to abandon the old linden home and start looking. It took me about 2 days to get a spot. If you read up there is a lot of writing out on the likely timing for releases, and there are groups like Bellisseria Citizens that monitor for it and announce when it's time to start hitting refresh on the house page.

    And...

    The house at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Orion Falls/237/233/42

    was abandoned again about 2 hours ago and is still available as I type this.

    If I didn't have a traditional already, I'd be trying to get that one. I at least really like the location.

     

    ........................and this house it still not taken.

    I have myself in a camper and my alt looking for a traditional. I loosened the reigns from stalking releases on the alt and now it's much more fun to me to be surprised at what comes up. I drop in on the land page at random times now instead of hanging on there for long periods.  If I am out and about in RL, sitting at a stoplight for instance, I will pull out my phone and refresh the land page, and I have actually gotten a home a couple times that way. I have not settled on anything yet because I am looking for a home that feels right to start decorating for Christmas (there will be no outdoor decor until the appropriate time and I will keep the shades down, too, until after Thanksgiving. lol)

    Anyway, I know everyone knows what feels right for them, but I am having more fun now that I am just taking it in stride and not studying the regions coming up for release like I used to. 🙄

    Tues/Wed/Thurs/Fri I decided to do some release stalking along with abandoned stalking  with an alt that I brought out for a month when I decided to try a camper and because I had a few days extra off.  I have to say it is frigging exhausting.  I have no idea how people do this day in and out all week.  By Friday I didn't care if there was a release and totally missed it!  I am just more happy trying every once in awhile to get something that is abandoned.  

    I am also not criticizing those that do enjoy doing this I understand that some have fun doing this and if you do then more power to you!  I can see the appeal in always trying to find that perfect spot and the gamble of seeing what you get.   At the end of the day you have to feel right about your LH.  I mean even the old houses,  I would jump around  trying to find a better spot or one that just felt better.  I image when the older linden homes came out I am sure there was a mad dash for everyone to get one way back then??

    Here's hoping that everyone eventually gets the spot that works for them without exhausting themselves to death  😂.

    Love those pics! And Fourze really is pretty special, isn't it? I won't be giving up my boat, even though it sits empty for the moment. I have a shiny new toy to play with right now,  and I'm already thinking of new ideas for decorating the boat when I'm ready. 

    Thank you for pointing out all the beautiful things about this spot! I'm so happy I didn't let it go!

    Honestly there is nothing wrong with it sitting there empty and no where does it state that you have to spend all your time on your boat or even use it.  I also have homes on mainland so I spend time there too.  My LH are for just a place to go to get away from the chaos when I need to.  My LH have always been about that.

    I bought some mainland yesterday and decided to give up my amazing houseboat in Fourze under the lighthouse. I'm rarely there anymore, and I have a trailer as well that I love.

    I emptied it out, packed everything up... and just couldn't do it. 

    My finger was hovering over the abandon land button for the longest time. I have no reason to keep the houseboat. I'm not going to use it, or at least not very often. It's empty now and I'm not inclined to go put at the stuff back right now. 

    But I cannot let it go. Sentimental reasons, I suppose. I got it in the first hour of the very first release. The location and positioning of it simply could not be more perfect. I discovered the magnificence that is @Quartz Mole when he came to remove the wayward script stuck in my walls. 

    I should offer it up to some homeless person to squat in for a while so at least someone will be enjoying it. 

    Boaty McBoatface lives on.

    This is how I feel about my houseboat on my main.  I got a lovely location in Pearlcoast when they released that one, I was trying for a house and clicked houseboat instead.  First time I ever caught anything during these smaller releases.  I wasn't going to keep it but found it was the houseboat I had actually looked at that day when I was looking around the region (thinking to myself, if I had to get a HB I would want this one) .  I didn't think HB's were for me, but the plot is in the green (even the sand below the boat has green in it)  and it faces the water and it is the rectangle one.  I don't think I could ever give this one up.  I would get rid of my house on my alt before I got rid of this one.

    There is nothing wrong with sitting on it for awhile until you know for sure you want to get rid of it because once it is gone, it is gone and the chance of you getting it back is like zero.

    I understand - I want some people outside of SLT to have some kind of chance. And hopefully it has gone to a happy person! 

    I think it is nice that you considered that.  At the end of the day, no one is under any obligation to even post they are releasing some of these more sough after parcels.  However it is very nice that you do, but no way should anyone feel bad about when they release them.

    Hiya former neighbor. You describe my thoughts exactly. I do feel guilty about a release of my beach house when so few americans is awake.  I am still not sure about my eventual release of Goodbury. Keeping it or risking no other parcel with sea view?

    You shouldn't feel guilty.  You release the house when it works for you.

    Got one in Toad Hollow!

    Not on the water but...second row with the back of the house facing the water so I am stoked!

    Best location I've had yet. Totally ditching one of the others when I get home tonight.

    YIPPEE!

     

    FYI Not sure if this was a release or not. May have been an abandon but I am happy with it. I think there was a release because there was a huge influx of houses/trailers suddenly showing up. I could not catch one for like 10 minutes and finally did

    I got one too In Toad Hollow and it is right beside yours.  I have to say I like the name of it.  I am going to have to set up my frog sounds.

    Ever since I got a houseboat, this is kind of how I feel about my beach home. I've decorated it over and over, and am tempted to give it up and just lazily play the clicky click game for a while and see where I wind up next. 

    Be careful as it can be a tad addicting.  I brought an alt out for a month to get one of those campers and discovered that the campers just aren't for me.  I think they are super cute but 175 is just not enough for what I want to do.  So I have been kind of hopping around with my alt to see what comes up for traditional houses.

    the other reason i do not want to leave is the prim allotments . though i loved my older generation cabins i like having  more prims to work with so its a trade off. Not really interested in the campers as they have the lesser prims to use. 

    Can you derender some of the stuff around you for now just to make it look more open?

    When I got my first house I was excited and felt lucky to get one.  However as time went on I found it hard to decorate the yard and I was also landlocked and surrounded by houses.  I had this house for quite a while and continually tried to make the landscaping work for me.  Finally I decided to let it go as it got the point where I wasn't even going to my house anymore.  When I let it go, I let it go knowing that it might take me time to get a new one.  And I did get one 2 weeks later.  I have gone thru about 5 houses and now have the house that works best for me.  It's not 100% perfect, but it pretty well checks all the boxes on my list.

    I also agree with @Evangeline Arcadia about being realistic as well.  From what I see it is harder to get a HB than a house.  If you are that unhappy in that location there is nothing wrong with releasing it, just make sure it is really what you want to do and realize you might wait to get another one, or you could luck out and get one right away.

    This is the thing isn't it. It does not go against their policy and they want popular homes. Imagine if no one liked or wanted a new linden home. Imagine no buzz or debate or demand. When I came to get mine I followed exactly what everyone else was doing to get one because I could not get one and it seemed that if it was so bad a new solution would be found to the refresh limit. I see us all on an even level getting a home. 

     

    You haven't done anything wrong there are various threads on how to get a home and the tip you gave is in several of them already.  Everyone is able to do the same thing until LL says different.
