Create a Linden Home Sandbox
One of the challenges for creators who want to develop accessories for Linden Homes, is that they must currently OWN that style of Linden Home (or know someone who does) in order to get any time to work with a home of a given design. A problem made all the more difficult when you become attached to a certain Linden Home and/or location. From custom fitted decking, window treatments, holiday decorations, and so on.. It’s difficult to work on accessories for a building you don’t have access to. To address this issue, and to provide a way to ‘showroom’ the various Linden Home designs, I propose the creation of one or more Sandbox regions, with build and scripts enabled, and a generous autoreturn, featuring timed versions of the Linden Home rezzers, with a similar timeout to the autoreturn. This would allow builders to work with popular and upcoming Linden Homes, develop accessories that can drive interest for other users to get Linden Homes when they see that accessories are available, and would allow more diversity of development by creators who aren’t hamstrung by their attachment to one particular, personal Linden Home they don’t want to lose. • More people can see and experiment with the variety of Linden Homes • More people can develop products that work with more Linden Home designs • More accessories for Linden Homes means broader support for Linden Home living • Users feel more confident, with greater options for accessories, that they too can enjoy a Linden Home

Bellisseria Fantasy Controllers Lock Up
REPRODUCE Claim a new Linden Home in Fantasseria. At this time (3/2024) it appears that roughly one out of five parcel controllers for newly claimed homes will give this message whenever touched. "Sorry, but the scripts in the HouseController have just been reset and are still initializing. Please try again in a minute or two." The message is given immediately. This condition persists until the controller is manually reset. According to one user's account, this condition may also occur any time you try to change home styles on a parcel you already own. DETAILS Supposedly residents can reset these controllers by performing a "long touch" on the controller exceeding 10 seconds. However, this often does not work. The controller MAY detect a long touch if you hold for up to a minute, or it may not. After trying a few times, I've left it for an hour or so and come back to try again, which is often successful. But not always. It does not matter where on the controller object you perform the long touch, even if you cam into it to touch the root prim. User's account of this problem causing them to abandon a lovely parcel: "I had it fixed two times within a month. My sister was right across the lake from me and she had the direct view of the waterfall from her back yard. She ended up having to give up her house for the same reason. I miss that house but it was just too frustrating to have it break whenever I felt like redecorating, which is usually about once a month unless I have an idea for a different house style half way through the decorating progress."
