Aaron: i would be more than happy to show you any spaces i own you would like to see. As for the Loot eod being in every space, well rumors have it that they are going to have a portable one very soon, hopefully sometime this summer. i have already begun placing an active item as a place holder in spaces i want to install this truly neat and unique product! Yay LOOT!!

Man if play station is about video games why wouldn’t they make more. Like an arcade where games are a penny to play and like they have every video game cabinet ever made in the world so you can play it. Or just ad air hockey in the bowling ally and even a pinball game or two in there also would be great.And maybe make a penny option at the casino because every body has a penny left over from almost every purchase. I could just keep going but i will stop for now. It drives me nuts?

Where to begin? First off it drives me nuts the attention they give to some things and others you say what where they thinking?First why wouldnt they have put a moon next to the earth in the space appt? They made the sun but no moon?And if it had the cycles it would be even cooler or even made it look like the ooblags casino sky when u firts walk in there or able to change it how ever you like from a few choises would be even cooler. The music in the saloon why cany you not turn it off. And some homes you can hang quit a few items up and some only two stupid especialy when there are like 10 blank walls. They do need to let you place more items in your spaces also.And why they wouldnt of made a baseball cap for girls with the poney tail sticking out the hole in back those short hair styles make them look like boys. I wish every space had a loot tv in it. It would be so much better. Man i could probably go on for ever but i will save some of my ideas for later.Ya they need to do smothing about some of the things. And i will be trying to preview a space some how before i buy it. because i have been very unhappy with quite a few spaces now.

I love the kitchen in the Santorini apt with one exception.. no fridge! LOL, the small chrome one fits in there perfectly, but i would dearly love to put my little coffee maker in that cubby on the counter. sadly that is blocked off from placing anything in it. As for the active beds, i don’t get it. we can sit in a chair and its not active, so why is laying down active? and they are so dang long, i haven’t seen an avi over 6′ tall yet, and these beds are made for basketball players

In general, I don’t like baked-in furniture. An exception is something like the Lockwood gift machine, an active item that doesn’t count against the item limit because it’s baked-in ,,, or the Santorini apartment kitchen, which is unique for unique architecture. I still would prefer to have a choice.
Not baked-in, but strange, is the bed for the French Chateau. I don’t use active beds but it came in the bundle: it won’t fit on the so-called second floor (which is really a balcony) in a convenient way. LOL

One more ‘caveat’. In the Nebula air ship, you can’t butt anything up against some of the walls. In fact there is a large gap that you can’t manipulate and it runs in a straight line dowen the sides. Grrrrr. HULK SMASH! I love the scenery in the Nebula air ship but it’s theses things that keep it from being a 10. I too am not a fan of the ‘dead beds'(as I heard it called from friends) and they are active items which does hurt my usage of them. There is also the luxury beach crib. This place has the most blatant false advertisinng I have seen to date. The summary in the estates store reads that it has a hidden room of technology. It’s so hidden that it actually doesnt exist. Wish I could get my money back there.

Thanks Burbie, Lord knows my collection of items is beginning to border on the OMG levels. So anytime someone wants to see an item or space, let me know. I’m more than happy to share what I have with anyone who wants or needs to see it.

Thanks backarch! I also love the cabana’s at x7. I truly wish the beds we can purchase worked in the same fashion. They are a great way to look comfortable and have a easy conversation at the same time. Unlike when I sit in a chair and look like I have a back brace on, or the top half of my body disappears into the furniture every time I utter a word. Hopefully the devs will see this article and keep in mind that us DecoNuts need more attention to the little details before releasing an item because we sure pay attention to them when we buy and use them

Don’t get me wrong, I generally loathe predecorated spaces. It is impossible to personalize them. While I did purchase all of the mansion spaces and decorate them the best I could, I didn’t buy them because I liked them. I bought them so I could use the gift panels to help newbies get started without spending any money.

I agree with your assessments here Dlyrius. It is good advice to look before you leap when it comes to buying anything in Home. Nice article.

best bad example for baked in? the hill house apartment or clubhouse, the kitchen in it. looks gorgeous….till you try to put something on the counter or stove. nope, one gigantic box. and its location! right in the middle! try setting up a dinner table around THAT monkey. more like snacks for two! and why can you put stuff in the fireplace but not on the kitchen counter. O.O i, myself, LOVE decorating, i go nuts!!! spend hours in there, not coming out till im satisfied. the newest paradise apartment or clubhouse has this god awful bed plopped in there. you all know the one, two of you lay perfectly straight….on each side of the bed. with this giant space in between, like god will smight you if you get any closer. PUT THE CABANA IN FROM X7, one of the few good things FROM that place.

I could hardly believe it the first time I read that someone liked the baked-in furniture. I was hoping we could unanimously ask Sony and third-party dev’s) to quit doing that. I don’t want someone else’s style and furniture locations forced on me. PLEASE! And yes, I wish they were more careful with details. If there’s a flat surface, one should be able to put items on it. And items should fit right next to each other. One time my Loot stove exploded out from between two “matching” counters. There really, really needs to be size standards and better descriptions of items in the stores and a return policy for those items that don’t live up to their promise.
