    A funny thing happened to me.

    I took a trailer via auto-refresh, because I wanted the content pack. Textures are transfer, but things like lamps are no transfer. Rezzing in there, it looked so pretty that I thought: "I never really clicked with trailers, but this was a very nice place". I wanted to test if I could abandon it and grab it with an alt. So I did. It was hanging in Maintenance so long. The alt used up her 10 refreshes at least 4 times = refreshed the page 40 times. It still belonged to Governor Linden. Then she got a camper, and I thought yes, it went well. Just that it was another camper, what do you give me? 😋

    I logged her in asap and she abandoned it, but then the first camper was taken. I will never dare to do it again. This camper was not important, but other land could be.

    Good to know! Thank you for that experiment

    The last abandon I ever caught was on my phone and I am sticking with this (done nothing really to it  yet) compromise I made was water at the back not front. Everything else made it work!

    if you look into the soil in the backyard by those large rocks, Chloe, you should see my footprints left there.  lolol  I stood on that spot for a couple weeks.. trying to send good mojo that it would be mine.  I LOVED it.  The day River Run released and I saw someone's name (mindy something) appear on 'my' about land.. I was so disappointed.  lol  I am super happy for you!  that is a beee U tee ful spot! I did end up late that night getting a River Run abandon but it just wasn't the same.  I've been searching since for the place that feels like my SL home. Found it last weekend with my alt.  Darn it!  I wanted my main avi to land 'that' spot so I can just get back to work and stop refreshing and retire the alt.  It was an abandon on Rocky Heights on Friday night.  I even got a very pretty parcel on Gentle Grove yesterday but released it in hopes for a Rocky Heights abandon.  I'm too chicken to release the Rocky Heights spot my alt has and try to catch it with my main.  Not doing that...  no way.. no how!  hahaha

    Might be because they are obstructed by houseboats and not a clear view of the water may be how the homes are placed on the region who knows. People have there own preferences of what makes a great home for them that you can never be too sure. It looks like you could de-render them and not lose anything else around as it is a straight shot and all water after that. I too probably would prefer a lake view though over this particular water view I have seen other lovely spots that are a bit more secluded and not surrounded by other things.

    Yes.. just different tastes and preferences.  The one I had was only abandoned by me and I think the girl who got it is still there.  I haven't checked tonight.  I had really been waiting for Sario release last week and completely missed it because I had to work.  I really liked some of the riverside spots.  Last night, about an hour after I let go of my Blackwater Shoals home, I got one! It's so pretty. More like the plots I prefer.  Excited to get home tonight and do some more decorating.

    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!

     

     

    I got one on Blackwater Shoals, too.  SHOCKER! cuz I never have luck with releases.  I have always managed to catch abandons, not releases.  But that all changed this morning.  I'm two doors down from you ZsaZsa.  with a decent view of the lighthouse and the squishy pickle.  I've wanted a mountain-y look and am a trees and green girl too... but this one is so pretty.  It just made my day!!

    You are too kind!   I think i will wait until I have my own spot so that i will have whatever time I need to build, but you are so awesome for offering!! *big hugs*

    big hugs back to you.  No problem at all.  If you change your mind, just holler and when I abandon it, I'll also give a heads up in here.  I remember you from Home and Garden Expo, which I founded years ago, as well as the Xmas Expo.  or at least I think that's where I remember you from.  I also founded Avi Choice Awards years ago.. lolol.. so it could be from there!  Now days, I just move from linden home to linden home and enjoy some relaxation haha

    I am finding it difficult to do my work in SL AND play the lottery of obtaining the new Linden homes.  Any hints on times of day, or strategies I should use?🤔

    Kate, I have one that I'm going to abandon in a week or two.  I can add you to the group I have my land set to, if you want to change it to each house, grab measurements and rez prims on it, so you can get a start on your add ons.  I will have it empty later tonight probably.  It's available to you, if you'd like to use it, until I let it go.

    Once I claimed a house and then I was so excited to see this.. I think this is GREAT location for me but then I was thinkin' oh I should create a prim to see if this house is a crooked or not, so I created one against the wall then resize the prim to a thin against the wall to flat to help me to see if that house is crooked or not but, unfortunately, it is a crooked which means it has to set around 179,90 (or so) and it will move everytime I decorated. I wonder if one of the mole can fix this house back to still degree (such as 0, 90 or 180) If can't..then I have to abandon this house. :(

    Maybe they would. It would be such a quick fix.
