YES! It works. I had my sis open it and was able to put food in it. I got a kick out of this. I love my Lake House! Thank You Kid Fleetfoot.

This sounds like a good idea. I wouldn’t know it if could work though. It would be much like the talk show set I would assume. May you should try and pitch it. It can’t hurt.

It just confuses me, like the beds. Why are some still made where you can’t lie down, after making the new ones? Is it just to give a choice in the market? Or does it cost more and need more time to produce?
Just curious.

I’d love to see a kind of modular personal space, giving Homies the ability to buy the additional perks they want, and ignoring the others.

Imagine a sort of hub-like central room, that would be inexpensive to buy (say, around $1). Now, the hub would only be a large, quasi-circular space with maybe a nice seating area for conversation.

Around the room would be doors, similar to the door in the Novus Prime Officer’s Quarters. By buying the modules, you would be removing that particular door from your space, giving you access to new areas with or without interactive elements. The cost of each module would vary, depending on the contents and interactivity.

A dance room with flashing lights and music; a game room with darts, chess, poker, etc.; a video arcade; a garden; a picture gallery; a romantic area with a hottub and bar…pretty much anything is possible, and buyers would only have to spent money on the perks they want.

Putting things in the fridge, if you haven’t tried this, then try this:
Invite a friend over and have them open the fridge and microwave and then you put something in it. I bought it right away and that’s the only way I could do it. I suggest a Ghostbuster pizza in the microwave and whatever puts you in in the fridge. I’m assuming one can still do this.

duce_for2,
Thank you, both for my appliances in the weekend Lake House and you comments. I would love the opportunity to learn more about what could work and what would not.
I believe I do understand in theory,why it did not work. I,like many here however do not understand; why some advances are put in some apartments,and not in others. Especially, I mean if they are the same developers spaces.

Thanks Again.

I created the fridge and microwave doors for the Weekend Lakehouse. Originally you could put items in them. I am doing this from my memory, so I could be wrong, but I believe test rejected it because you could put items in them that stuck through the doors when they were closed. Detecting this state was beyond the complexity of what could be done with them.

The same would be true of the Murphy bed. You would have to look for items and avatars in the way when the bed opened and closed. That is not as simple as it might seem.

Now a jacuzzi that you cannot get into like the one in the private jet apt makes no sense unless it was too small for even one avatar.

EOD is something only LOOT can do. They say they are building an EOD item that can be brought into any apartment. So that may be one less advantage they have.

There will always be better and worse apts. Which are which depends on your tastes. Keep it up putting up your ideas of what you want. It is the most likely way you will get what you want.

An excellent article. I look forward to more.

Thank You. I am over joyed to be published here.
I know too what you mean about the shopping for that perfect space and the feeling once you get it right. I love my spaces. I look for the fantastic on Home! I can get average in the real world. Home is suppose to be something else…
I am so glad the developers have been listening. When I bought the Sunset Yacht, it didn’t offer crackle or radioIO yet. I kept thinking “Man it would be awesome if I could watch movies here.” I wondered about ways to have a little jazz on my cruise. Well great minds…” lol Now I can.
I want more though, then just a mini game in my spaces. I want to interact with my surroundings.
I too will be holding out for the awesomeness that is to come!

Absolutly Phoenix, nice job on your first article BTW. After I bought the Loot Space Apartment, I decided after that, that I won’t ever be buying a space unless it offers some kind of extra. Some proper interactivity. The EOD is genuis (just a shame I can’t use its full potential (localisation)) and all I see when I look at older spaces are four walls and nothing more. I used to run through all the interiour possiblities when I looked at a new space, sometimes I’d even like a space so mch, I’d go shopping for furniture JUST for that one space!

Loot has opened my eyes now though, to the potential of what a personal space can be. I want the fantastic, the unreal, the mesmerising and the awesome (I mean awesome in its actual sense, not “hey man, these doughnuts are awesome dude”) I want scenery that will inspire me, like the veiw of our rotating little ball in space from my Loot app.

Bring me the fantastic, and I will pay you for it to spend my time there.
