[New home land size question]

1 hour ago, moirakathleen said:

I like landscaping, which is why I had LI difficulties with the traditional homes.  I could easily have used 300 or more LI just inside the house - or have used 300 or more LI just in the yard around the house.  Ultimately I finally went with a houseboat, where I don't feel like I need to do very much decorating outside of the main living area. 

I love landscaping, so I plan to do both when I get a houseboat.  I'd thought of a roof garden, but using an add-on deck is an outstanding idea ☺️

I have given up hope. I've been homeless for 5 weeks (since you have to give up your old one first) and am sick of refreshing that page. The few times I've seen one pop up by the time you can go thru the confirmation page it's no longer available. 

I'm also resigned to the fact I have to wait, lol.  I've left the mainland spot I had ( & had fun decorating) since the neighbors put up so many garish for sale thingies.  I'm in an old style Linden home now, I like their general style anyway, & plan to use some ideas I see in your brilliant redesigns in New Linden!   Until I can someday move into a houseboat 😍

Also, don't put in a fancy name. Just type 5 letters fast like sssss and click next, accept the terms. You can change the name inworld to something better. They really vanish so fast that you don't have time to type in long names like "I dream of Jeannie" or read the terms of service - for boats and houses. When you got it, you can read everything in the covenant, and should you perhaps find out that there is a dealbreaker for you, abandon it.

I had taken one of the old Linden houses for awhile just for kicks.  Now when I click in the name field while hunting, that house name comes up.  All I have to do is click the name, it fills in the field, then click "next"--only 2 keystrokes

Thanks for the video. I think that is officially the weirdest thing I will see today but I liked it

Sia is the nicest kind of weird  😍

[Sky homes]

Nice idea, it makes me think of Pandora/Avatar, with their floating islands--beautiful.  There could be a different region for them, like the old Linden region homes in Elderglen.  I hope they wouldn't be to high, imagine sailing the sea & looking up at them.  I'm not an Elf anymore, but I might be tempted, lol

[Script Time, and the Importance of Avatar Weight.]

Hmmm, more evidence of my cluelessness, I read OP msg as very helpful (except the link, might as well be in Greek lol)  I'm always a little concerned about my scripts, but not sure how to reduce it.  I think removing color change scripts from hair helps, ditto resizing scripts in clothing, but I have no clue if my furniture is a problem.  Almost everything I have contain sits.  Also, helpful to learn my wandering rabbit might be a problem in community 😞. 

Thank you to anyone/everyone who takes the time to teach me something I might not know ☺️

Isn't camming into someone's house like rl peering into someone's windows?  Not socially acceptable lol.  I know how to change clothes with getting naked, just put on new clothes before taking off the old, easy peasy.  I agree, a visitor should "knock at your door",  or speak.  I've had the experience of someone just walking in (in SL) & didn't like it.  Common courtesy isn't the same for everyone (just as friendly words obviously), but years ago I heard a two part credo:  "Offend no one, and don't be to easily offended)

(edit: make that without getting naked)

 

Now, bring on the flaming 😈

[I guess I'll just wait...]

I got premium, after years of not finding it worthwhile, just to join the new community & have a great houseboat.  Well, I'm one of the waiters, so be it.  But I don't feel cheated, I think the premium sub is worth it now, I do see the extra 300L weekly &  we do get access to special areas (gotta check that out).  Living on the mainland now, & I have lots of fun landscaping & decorations, but I'm surrounded by banlines so can't roam, & a neighbor has a sky platform right over her house!  So even if the Bellissaria plot I eventually get is smaller, it'll be so much more comfortable.

  I probably should have said "for my primary account".  They are "all me", but as the typist I identify the most with Moira, and try to not have the other two be "just me"  as well.  One is generally an elf or fairy (and generally the irresponsible younger sister), and the other one is usually a Dinkie, so I tend to keep different stories in my mind for them. 

I love that.  My first into SL was an elf, Whimsy Thirdborn (before they made everyone "Resident") I miss her.  SL was very different then, it was enormously  thrilling to see "me" walking along a flowery path, & even flying 😍

I had put my two alts back in premium status leading up to the first release of new homes, and did get both of them a home through refreshing after the first release.  Afterwards, I realized now that they were premium at the annual rate, it was better for me to have them abandon their homes and apply their tier to my 2048 sqm mainland parcel.  I also abandoned my own home when abandoning theirs, but I did luck out getting a houseboat yesterday for myself, which I plan on keeping. So, between 3 premium accounts I have 1 new houseboat, and free tier for my mainland parcel (and more lindens to spend each week).

"getting a house for myself"  This makes my head spin! 🤣  I'm not criticizing,  its just funny..aren't they you also?  I'd love to know how other people feel about their alts.  I use 3 besides Gina, who is most like my public self--1 hunts zombies & such with just a spear,  1 shops like crazy for the rest of us, & the other is my immature self, haha.  SL is perfect for exploring yourself, as well as other diverse people, & so many things.

I managed to grab a houseboat yesterday and decorated it last night. Still have 126 prims to use but I'll need to keep some of that for my partner's little seaplane. 

Thats wonderful, Eden!  I love what you've done, I think its the best I've seen so far.  Wish I had such a good eye 

[If you have more than one home ..]

I'd love to be able to join the new community--almost more than the pleasure of having a nice home.  I almost got one last night.  But I understand the lure of having as many as you can get, I sympathize with the multi-alted people who snap up three.  The logic "I pay for premium for each of my alts so I deserve as many as I can get" doesn't really hold because in reality, It is only one person behind the alts.  Still, I can see why they feel this way.    Maybe after awhile they'll settle on one home.

I've been in SL off & on for many years, lived in the old Linden houses & liked them, held rented land & mostly loved it.  But never had any sense of community, just lovely, vast emptyness.  When I do get one, I'll give all my girls access to it--because they're all really me, 😋, just different parts.

In the meantime, I'll wait--almost patiently

Major snark😜

(make that "snarky")

[If it were not so sad, it would be comical...]

No need to blame someone for being puzzled & disappointed for not being able to snag a new home.  And Linden isn't to blame that they were snapped up so fast.  True, many people were aware of how to get one, & really trying hard.  But many were taking up to 3 new houses, using alt.  It is what it is, lol.  I'm just waiting, refreshing now & then, I'll be satisfied that I'll get someting eventually.
