I'm seeing some great interior lighting in the houses you've all done, but the lamps I've found so far are like interrogation lights, lighting up my whole house, the neighbor's house, and half of the houses in the region. Any suggestions? I'd like something that would give a softer light inside when I'm set for midnight. Geez, maybe I'm just doing something wrong...

There are certainly degrees of "awesome-ness". A houseboat jammed between other houseboats may not be as appealing as one at the end of the pier, with a clear view of the water. A traditional lot in the middle of a flat green block doesn't have the appeal of one set on the water.

The ancestors are hedging their bets on Permafrost, eh?

oh ok, thanks -- didn't see that.........boy, that will make for another mad rush of abandons

What I was wondering, Marianne, was if any newer models might be just added as another option in our mail box, somewhat like how they added the holiday lights -- switch your Continental to a Victorian, for example.....

Wondering when there are new house styles if they will be another option for current lots, or if we will need to abandon a current lot to get one???

It's hard to understand how lots get released. Sometimes the house you abandon will sit in the pool for over an hour before it's released back into the wild, and others go immediately......

Sometimes the longer "stand and wait" is when you abandon a lot, and it stays in the Gov's hands for a long time. I've had it happen when I got the lot back, so now I wait around......

It will happen more and more. At first, we're excited to just get a house. Then we see some of the newer, more landscaped lots, or lots on the water somewhere. And we naturally want to get those. The older abandons will make new releases a challenge.

geez, and then somebody in the in-world group posted a joke with 'release' in the title, and got everybody clicking

yah, wasted a couple of my five abandons on Jamesborough and Allweiss

Thanks RaeLee, that's what I thought. And I've been playing the linden lottery, too. I also got caught in the "only 5 catch and release in 24 hours" vortex. I realized this just before Friday's release. I've still got an alt in the game, but weekends are slow.

Hi all....Not really a vent here, just frustration. While wandering around Bellisseria, I see gorgeous lots with great landscaping, next to lakes, rivers, ponds, etc. When I picked up my first home, I was pretty excited, but then realized it was a flat lot, in the middle of a block, in a very average flat region. So, I've been playing the linden lottery, but keep getting the same. I realize that this is about community, but for me, it's also about what I can see from my lot. Do you think we'll ever get some choice, or will it always be just about dumb luck?

A question....Don't you need to abandon a lot before picking another? It sounds like you lucked into the houseboat, and then let the traditional go.

Yes, same here. I just logged in to the inventory page, and got the message right away. And it won't take me back to the page, even though I click that line. I didn't attempt 10 refreshes, and will follow the directions, but something is wrong here.
