    So sad I didn't get a new home

    in Linden Homes

    Posted

    Whenever I see a choice location I can’t help camming in to see if it’s empty or not. Why do I do that to myself? Well, when I see that it’s obviously lived in, it makes me smile. I moved into my houseboat and saw the person with the absolute best spot on the pier was basically there all day. Enjoy! With all the talk about empty homes though, I must say, riding around at night you can see the lights on in so many homes. It’s really wonderful. 

    I did stop trying to get a second spot. After I got my houseboat I realized ... oh, now I need a boat (or three) not to mention entirely new decor, so I’ll focus on that. I know many more homes will come and my alts will have their day. I mean, they only exist to feed me lindens and tier so of course I’ll eventually want a second home. How can you not use the single best perk available? I wouldn’t feel bad about that, now or later. I do feel bad because for whatever reason I know I could get a house by the end  of the day, I am the queen of pressing F5. In fact when I was briefly holding two houses I TRADED one between me and my alt by simultaneously abandoning them. Bold. I wish any other members of the refresh club the same luck 😊

    I love photography but never really took to it in SL. Lately I've been trying to take more snapshots. 

    So, I bought a boat. And I liked all these bridges.

    The uncut lawn and sad badminton net... too real.

    This place hit the jackpot for rhododendrons. My favourite Linden plant. Little sprinkler going in the yard.

    Someone's lovely exterior. There are so many.

    And there's a house at the end of this footpath up into the mountains. Nice spot!

    Anyone rerolling?

    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 :)

    It seemed like every time I abandoned a place, the next one was better. So I assume if I abandon this houseboat I'll get an oceanfront corner? 😂

    My first didn't have a fence, that was what motivated me to move. I wanted to save all that LI with a bunch of lovely LDPW landscaping. My last traditional was backed up against the mountains. Really cool looking, with giant old trees, but they cast a huge shadow on my yard for much of the day.  It was tough to give up because it was on a main drag with interesting traffic, including planes landing on the other side of the mountain. I am sure someone else will love it.

    I was late to the party and since I was able to get my place by simply refreshing long enough, I have been somewhat brazen about abandoning them. I tried at least five traditional homes before accidentally acquiring a houseboat in West End this afternoon. It has a tiny beach with parasols and a sandcastle in front. So cute!  I have three premium accounts but really was only planning on keeping one Linden Home. After stumbling into the houseboat though, I think I'll keep it and also try for the traditional home of my dreams. When the new houseboats come on, and also one month after the initial release date are probably good bets for moving day.

    When I wander the streets I can find myself momentarily jealous of the prime real estate BUT, honestly, I love the democratic nature of these builds. Even the most standard of plots have little touches to recommend them. I just realized kitty-corner to my backyard there is a riverside breakfast nook, cute! A couple of those stones in the far corner of my yard and it'll feel like the start of that path.

    Switching from Isis to Lara

    in Fashion

    Posted

    Switching to Isis lowered my monthly clothing budget, that's a benefit of sorts.  When I'm at events and see pretty Lara stuff I just remind myself of how many Lara exclusive items didn't fit my body anyway because of higher body fat. Don't have that problem as much with Belleza, so the number of brands on my list is about the same.  

    And it begins.

    Per the question at the top of the thread, what will happen to mainland, well,  I hope these new premium homes are a rousing success and result in an adjustment of what exactly constitutes valuable mainland property.  The prices for even moderately not-ugly (rare! protected! roadside! ie anything not 100% landlocked) parcels are already somewhat obscene and will look even more so from the deck of a 1$/month waterfront houseboat.  I'm sure 2X prim will hold but I did happen to fly over a 28k plain jane parcel in Horizons this morning. More of that and I might have a chance to grab one. 

    Are you a good conversationalist?

    I really have trouble dealing with the (over) sharing types people. Unless we are close, I don't care about a lot of your more personal issues. More of a cut the crap approach myself. That's probably also a cultural thing for Dutch people though, being very direct and to the point.

    I made it sound like its only about sharing personal information but it applies to the totally mundane. The simple difference between "Did you see the game last night?" vs "Great game eh!"

    The differences in how people advance a conversation are interesting to me. From my limited experience, for example, in the eastern and Maritime provinces of Canada people more generally show their interest by asking direct questions. In the west people share things about themselves unbidden, but also as a way of inviting their conversation partners to share something of the same level of intimacy. I’m very much of the latter school but it can lead to awkwardness or seeming like I’m just going on about myself. And someone who is used to an indirect style can bristle or freeze up in the face of well meaning but blunt questions.

    I would get a premium membership if __________ (not land or L$)

    Some kind of gacha +luck multiplier would probably do it. I have several premium accounts already though and the gifts are the biggest disappointment to me. My first "gift" was some winter something pass with literally no explanation as to its purpose. Designers, god bless 'em, somehow manage to crank out a half--dozen items per month for the endless parade of shopping events....  I would think the Lindens could manage, say, one amazing (or even somewhat interesting!) item a month.

    Also if you do like Pink Fuel and pale skins, check out the Doll V2 bundle.... you get body appliers in all configurations  (freckles, no freckles, no nipples, buff, soft, etc etc) for the big three makers, several head appliers and a bunch more.
