    I am reading this with great interest right now. Thank you for all the helpful information and explanations. A question for understanding:

    Quote

    Sorting order. The dae file includes a list of all the vertices in the mesh and the order they are lsited in can have a significant and hard to predict impact on the download weight. So try different options but keep a backup of the original in case it turns out to be the best one after all.

    How do I influence the sorting order? and were can i see it ? What should I pay attention to. This is interesting and completely new to me.

    It ticks every single box;

    Nice boxes  ;) but there are some more:e.g.

    lovely view on 3 sides  (perfect for Evening  Star)

    protected water face to the  south--> perfect  unblocked view

    perfect start  for sailing

    love it more and more

  2. And finally a dream boat
    I put everything on one card and gave up my "Okay-Boat" despite the lack of houseboats all the time. I also wanted to be very picky this time and get hold of a "WOW-Boat;).I've been searching for weeks and was hoping for the big move at Stilt-Release.I got 2-3 good places, but I persevered: meaning to be picky.
    Today I was in the kitchen preparing for Christmas. Finally finished I looked into  the Thread for news :
    and read that I missed the Stilt release. Ohh ...>tried to read the latest news quickly
    read: houseboats are also released .... Ohh..OMG..>While still reading I also log into the landpage
    Oh .. a houseboat - type..click..wait...Ohh I have a boat ... hmm--Ohhhhh --- a "WoW -Boat" !!??
    Is it really one, could it be?.
    Yes, it is a "Wow -Boat"🙂

    Merry Christmas  to all

    Haven´t unpacked so far, but eg. the  table 7LI, basket  1LI, tray in the middle 4 LI, plate setting 4 LI, Chair  4 LI

  4. I got a HB in Saltmarsh about  30  minutes ago.

    I gave up my HB yesterday because I wanted to look around a little bit. I refreshed randomly over the day, irregularly yesterday and today and there were Trads, Victorian, some campers and Houseboats (less) on the LP. This ist my  4.HB and it is  a very nice place  with seaview.Quad spot is new experience for me and I´m curious to try it out. Not sure which one I  should/could  use here.

    So maybe  my journey  already ended ther. planned trip terminated due of luckiness.

    btw. I noticed that the HB, which I gave up, sometimes stand on Governeur Linden up to one hour  until they reappeared on the LP.

    If so it is over! Just checked the LP ... only boats and campers!

    What is the current situation at the boat market?
    During the big release (very late though) I swapped my Trad for a Vic. Actually, that's because I couldn't find a trad I wanted to keep.
    So I tried my last shot of the day with a Vic. And the first Vic I got was on Dunbar with sea view, so I kept it immediately ;). Shortly after that the offer to Vic became rarer.Guess I was lucky.
    My Main has a boat since August and here I am more carefully.
    I really like to go to an area with only boats and beach. At the moment I have a good place with good view.
    Though not at the end of the row with even more sea view ;). That would be a dream. It's just that I daren't.
    Maybe the big move after the big release is over now? Therefore the question to the professionals Hopper ;)
    ;Are there still boats available and if so is it only the "new" area from december? or the whole Bellisseria continent?
     Maybe I should wait until there is another major release and/or a new theme? I'm brooding🤔

  7. Congratulation Leora :)
    A lot of movements around my new home.
    My neighbour across the street moved into the first row.
    Neigbour on the left changed too today.My neighbor on the right changed twice today.
    For a long while it stands on Gouverneur Linden and has also an new owner.
    An Leora got her home i the first row :)

    I continue to build and tinker unimpressed in the middle of it.😉

    I just grabbed an abandon in Blackwater Shoals, and despite it not being my preferred area (I prefer trees and green to beach), think I will stick with it for now because I have been spectacularly unsuccessful otherwise, and this spec is pretty good. It's elevated, on the front and corner, unrestricted sunset and lighthouse view, and the Winchester balcony is facing the right direction so I doubt I will get better and am happy.

    Good luck everyone, I hope you all get what you are looking for.  I will still haunt this thread, I am addicted now!

    Same with me;)-As I give up these nice spot in Allweiss (on Wednesday if I remember right) I regreted so much...that I decided some hours later
    to upgrade my litlle gardening girl Alt Premium for a year. Sadly I could´t get a spot in Sario.

    But now luckily I got a very nice space in Blackwater.I was so surprised-so much luck and so much specials there;)

    That's a nice location. You can always switch too a houseboat later. For me personally, Bellisseria would make it worth to go premium.

    I already have a houseboat; and...(whispering...) a homestead.
    And I haven´t finished decorate the boat and the homestead is a hopeless construction area.

    Perhaps just prolong her for one month? After that decide wether or not it is worth a year.

    This was my trying month;)
    Another month to decide--oh, how nice..okay another month...I can imagine how this ends ;)

    But well, I don´t have that much time to make it a really nice place
    This little place deserves a better owner;)

    I think I will give it back.

    Yesterday I took the afternoon to explore the Bellisseria continent a bit. I have looked at the Linden Homes before but I had not been to Bellisseria yet. I found a nice Bicycle on the Marketplace (I'm dutch, so yeah...bicycle). I ended up riding around the continent for 3,5 hours checking out all the beautifull mole builds and the lovely things the residents have made. I fell totally in love with the Bellisseria continent! I cut a 1024 of my 1728 mainland parcel and set up my browser for auto refresh. Just as I sat down behind my computer after dinner the page refreshed and there was a traditional home available. I quickly filled a name and clicked the button. Error. Try again. Error. Switched from edge to chrome. error. Switched to IE and I got through. I'm now a Bellisserian!!! :D The allweiss release happened right when I sat down at my PC. How's lucky is that!

    I grabbed this. But now I have to decide  if I want to keep it. Premium for my little Gardening-Girl-Alt has only 1 day left;)

    And honestly I dont´t need a house.  My main likes the houseboat. But is it really  lovely and it would be nice to try out living in a house--hmm.
