Very much so. I was Premium then. The Meadowbook homes was one of the most popular. And specifically the Loftroom since is was smaller then the others and far easier to furnish with just something like 60 objects available at the time before LL raise the amount of available objects per sim. That with the increase of the amount of land you got as a Premium member made the old homes obsolete and out dated. Since we can own a 1024m parcel of mainland for free now (use to be 512m) and have more than double the amount of objects.
But yeah, even though I went to the Home & Breeder show to see the new homes before release, I was lazy to clean up my mainland parcel and abandon it the weekend of the initial rollout... lol! 😦 Oooof my fault... So I sit and wait like most others now... 😆
