Great read as always Burbie. Yes when i first arived at this space i thought for sure I had seen the layout before. It’s odd to me to have basicly cloned spaces with small diffrences.
There are some good ideas for personel spaces in these comment boxes. Im a pick space shopper on home but some of these ideas are worth haveing. Seeing a planet super close when you walk out side would be nice I think. An to float in space, I could just see all the new glowing men doing that one. A treehouse atop the rainforest i’ll take two of those.

I keep thinking of the opening of “Sunset Boulevard”.

Already got some footage of it the day it came out, it was the first thing I thought of when I saw that. It is too funny looking.

Someone has to use the dead body in the pool for a murder mystery.

Totally agree, riff. The great thing about Home is that we are NOT tied to physical reality. I would love to have an Escher House where I could walk up the walls, or, as you said, a bubble in outer space. What about a private space based on the tiny planet in “The Little Prince”? Or the Sky Pirate ships from “Gauntlet: Dark Legacy”? (Just about anything from that game, really — it’s still one of my favorite fantasy playgrounds.)

Home is about telling ourselves stories. And most of us want a story that is more complex than “I can afford to live in a mansion.” It’s one reason I love the new Gothic Cathedral. The story I’m playing there is that it has been taken over by a coven of alchemists, who have magicked cherry trees and fog into the nave and are fabricating gold in the side-chapel. That’s a lot more fun than “Look at all this tacky gold furniture!”

yes! I don’t want a big house on the edge of a lake anymore. I want a little house and a boat that I can take out on the lake. For me all that tantalizing scenery needs to be included. Like the Yacht for instance. Too flippen big! There is not enough scale furniture choices to decorate it with any authority… but if I could just take that Zodiac to the lighthouse or the beach I could dig that. I say cut the boat in half and then give me the privilege of exploring the outdoor spaces. What about a space that is a bubble in outer space with comments and stars floating by. Make a glitch space without the glitch.

I’m with you, Krazy. We don’t need “House Beautiful”. We need impossible dreams and outrageous fantasy. But that’s just me.

LOL Ted that was the first thing we all thought when we saw what happened to the owner in the pool. It looks very much like the owner drowned in their pool to everyone, but to the owner they are floating on the pool with a drink on a big raft thing.

People will buy this, if not for its limited appeal then for the fact they buy EVERY space that’s released. I know people like this. As you said Burbie, I also don’t expect this to chart very high in the sea of Home sales either. “Cookie cutter” is becoming more and more obvious now to the more well versed Home users, which means innovation can’t be far away, I hope.

Fresh ideas and places are needed now, things like the underwater apartment are rare. I’d be impressed with a series of houses plonked on places like Mars, Saturn or one of Jupiters moons. This is a VIRTUAL reality, we don’t need more houses by the beach lol. A couple more places I’d like to see would be maybe a tree house on the top canopy of the rain forest, a half-house built around Tibeten ruins, a moving barge on a canal or just something inspired by those Eco-friendly houses that are built into the countryside. You know the ones that kinda straddle lake edges and things.

It’s so similar to other large mansion type spaces that it’s not needed.
Because of it’s it’s size I can see where someone might want it as a clubhouse.

It has continuous quiet music inside that will get on some people’s nerves. It can’t be turned off.

If the floating body is not fixed and it looks like a corpse, pretend that Humphrey Bogart will solve the case. Or call Mr. D.

Having said the above, I bought it and it’s OK with me. But as to other mansions of this ilk, I think not unless they have something special.

When I first heard of this space I was excited they were doing something about the pool/swimming thing, But it just kind of looks like a dead body floating in the pool. I hope they fix that.
