Cinnamon Mistwood

I will definitely gravitate to the fewer walls versions - the ones ending in 'spell' and not the 'brooks' with all the walls and tiny spaces. I am thrilled they made open floor plans available. The changing color glow for the seasons is a nice touch. I am excited to try for one when they are released, so maybe it's time to release my chalet since this fantasy type house is what I really was trying to turn it into. I really hope they find a fun way to connect it to the rest of Bellisseria like a huge mist or fog wall to sail or fly through (ooooooh stormy seas! or the Bermuda Triangle!) rather than a just teleporter.

Mistwood, of course.

I like the idea of consolidating the homes that are used into fewer regions. It would save some of the amazing and unique artwork made by moles and Lindens for the future. It could even create a tourist attraction of sorts. I am not sure if homes can be moved with all the furnishings intact, but if I understand how landmarks work, it won't break the landmarks each resident uses. The Lab would be able to reassign the landmark to a new parcel, right? Someone explained it when a few regions were moved for Bellisseria. Then no one has to move if they like what they have and it won't matter why they want to stay. A win-win for the most part.

What is the benefit to the Lab of getting rid of the old Linden homes? What is gained by making them disappear and forcing a move to a new area? If it was mentioned, I missed it. Is it a big drain on resources to have them sitting there? Does it somehow negatively impact other areas to have them there? Do they take up so much space on servers or in clouds to be overly expensive to maintain? Why is this even a debate? Who cares? If a person doesn't like them or thinks they are ugly, don't choose the option and don't visit. Why does someone else's choice to have one impact anyone else? How are any of us personally injured by the fact that they exist virtually and some people might be there?

Should Resident Trees Be Allowed In Bellisseria? Yes, as long as they are keeping within the covenant. The freedom to make your home and parcel unique and your own is one of the draws of getting a home in Bellisseria. I would not like to get a home where every home was a cookie cutter exact match to every other home on the virtual street. I would not be excited to have a house with only a few adornments provided to choose from and approved by the person with the lowest speed computer and graphics card. Learning how SL works and optimizing your set up and being responsible with your own decorating choices is on each resident to learn. Taking away choices from people should not be the outcome of your failures to rez. Should Each Theme Content Pack Include A Selection of Optimized Trees To Go With Theme? Sure, why not have the option of using what the moles and Lindens used if you want to take the hit on land impact. Just don't take away creativity and choices from everyone else because some trees didn't rez properly for a few people.

They were previewed at the SLB 18 event. Some pics here:

Still listening to the radio. Heard these 2 today:

People breaking the covenant seem to be a small minority. Most everywhere I've ridden my dinosaur on the roads or taken my submarine past the houseboats and stilts has been clear of blocks and over reaching orbs. I've run into a few places with obvious trolling in parcel decorating, but not many. I've passed a few "yard sales" with people reselling gachas in their front yards. Occasionally I'll pass a breeding farm of some kind hidden in a house. Most people seem to follow the spirit of the covenant. The obvious ones and the invisible (but still in the way ones) get ARd.

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Port Lux/150/57/3403 Muniick is having a 50% of 'almost' everything in the store July 9th-18th for their 2nd anniversary. It's still the 8th for me, but it's the 9th somewhere. I got the discount early. Make sure to Inspect Object. I got a fan from there that disappeared when I crossed the room, but other stuff is good.

Letting go of a log home that I loved for 8 months. The region is quiet. I've never seen a neighbor in all that time. The house is right on the water (2 sides) and situated low, so you aren't above it. Good Privacy. The view is great, the water is wider than a little stream, you can see a log bridge from the deck AND the house windows FACE the water. Amazing! Downside - there is no road going to this house (which is why the mailbox is on the water and the house faces the correct way.) Oh, please, universe let someone who will love the place get it and not a collector who will just own it. Going at 8:30pm SLT https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Traderest/84/72/0

Those busy moles have decorated around the airstrip and put tons of plants out along the beautiful brick walkway next door, so I checked out a little further down (up?) the river in the chalets to find this new long straightaway framed by brick walkways. It would be fun to line the walkways with people and have a boat parade or maybe rowboat races. I also enjoyed the little notes for the next moles to come along. I can tell this won't be my neighborhood if it's "less wild and more formal", but someone will really enjoy the river views.

Mmmmmmmm coffeeeeeeee! Thanks, Josephine ❤️

I've experienced hunger in my lifetime when I was much younger, so there isn't much that's been listed that I wouldn't eat. However, I do have preferences. I would (and have) eaten a bug. I want to not recognize it as a bug though, so fry it up and grind it into a protein powder or something. That way I know what I'm eating, but I don't have to recognize it. I feel the same about most things people find gross. I hate the texture of gummie candies, but if I'm hungry, I'd deal. I prefer not to eat raw tomatoes, so I cook them. I've never had caviar. I hear it's salty, but the idea of fish eggs is not gross. I don't think I've ever eaten tongue, brains or intestines, but I learned not to ask as a kid. When I lived in Louisiana on the bayou sucking the heads of crawfish (crayfish/crawdads) was a thing. I stuck to the tails. Hungry people are not picky. I have even tried pineapple on pizza. It's not my first choice, but I wouldn't turn it down.

I love this new theme. (consider my socks knocked off.) It has the feel of what I tried to make my chalet - rustic, no electricity, wild landscaping - as opposed to manicured lawns and trees, electric street lights. I will be abandoning the chalet as soon as these are available, so if you want a chalet right next to the airstrip, let me know. I do agree that the houses are too big, but I don't actually have to use all the rooms, do I? I like the one with a balcony. I can simply put up a fake wall to block the doors of the 2 side rooms and make it look like they are not even there. In the other 2 story house I could cover the stairs completely with a well-textured prim and pretend the upstairs doesn't exist. I hope the other 4 versions have fewer walls or that a smaller house is available to choose, but I can work with what I'm given to spread my 351LI how I want.

The house is still set up that way. There are newklear rods in the pond. 😉 The only thing that seems to have changed since my last visit a year ago is the fish. There use to be 3-eyed goldfish (similar to the ones from The Simpsons) Now there are 2-eyed, rather startled looking, chunky goldfish. It looks like someone may have simply removed the middle eye to hide the truth. The region is Permaglow.

Bellisseria - History of Three Meter Island - General Discussion - Second Life Community This thread should have been in Linden Homes subforum, but it is in General Discussion - Land.

Somewhere in the older Victorians is toxic waste leak. A small green waterfall flows into a pond and hazmat signs are around. I think the Lab is trying to cover it up. I would provide a link, but I forgot where I was exploring.

I think I like this theme better than the chalets. I was a bit stuck in the decorating of those and unsure what kind of furniture fit the area. This new theme (is it just named fantasy?) gets my brain moving in several directions. Are the trees glowing? Is that why several of the pics are so dark? Should I work on getting over my dislike of full bright 😄 I can't wait to get home from work tonight and get a better look. Thank you to all the people that have posted pics already. You're my heroes!

I don't think that's a window frame. It's in front of the boxes in the back. No windows in this pic. It could be partially under ground like a daylight basement or built into a hillside to have no windows. That book looks magical and sparkly. I like the color choices on the walls, the rustic flooring, and the arch.

It's no longer an unnamed SSP region, but it's new. There is an airstrip in the main river through the chalets. Has that river been named, yet? It's on that little island. I am debating abandoning my chalet due to the lost view of the river, but I've enjoyed watching the new underwater train track tunnel and the airstrip going in. That's my little green chalet by the bridge. I might have to keep it until I see a train go by and watch a plane land at least once. SSPE2178 right next door has some unique brick walking paths along the waterfront.

That is a much classier look! The dark wood paneling really helps offset the flowers.

I wanted to try making a room I would NEVER want to see in real life. I ended up with something so girlie, frilly, and sweet it kind of makes me sick. I may have to have my blood sugar checked after this. So, I guess I succeeded in decorating in a style that is so unlike me that even I would deny putting it together. Has anyone else tried a style they ended up just hating? I knew pink flowers would never end up being a good decision, but this may have gone too far.

Putting back this super-private, ruggedly landscaped log home. I think this region was released recently. This parcel and several others had no homes showing on their lots. I was not able to reset the mailbox last night, but I could this morning, so the new owner will have a house to decorate. https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Ever Grateful/112/60/0

I've been without a house hopper for several months now since I wanted to enjoy what I had. The stilt I am letting go made me appreciate the stilts (my least favorite style) I had a LOT of fun with this location - especially the landscaping. I have a top-of-the-world trad that I like even better, so it is time to let someone else enjoy this unique spot. It has no water, but the privacy is amazing for the stilt region and the view is incredible. I'll let it go at 10amSLT. https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Jamaica Me Crazy/220/236/0
