Presently, Heterocera is an almost perfect island continent - except there is a single missing coastline region west of Tiger which prevents boats moving up or down the west coast, also preventing loops or circumnavigations of the whole Heterocera continent. Please move the "spare" offshore Heterocera water region of Blush (located on Heterocera's east coast) over to the west coast and west border of Tiger to act as a donor sim to fully complete the Heterocera continent's coastline. This proposed moving of Blush would not adversely affect the east side of Heterocera in any way, as it's not a region essential to keep for continued east coast sea or air travel.

An option to upgrade the prim allowance on a Homestead region, from say 5000 prims to 7500 prims or 10,000 prims. We have options on with upgrade option for a full region from 20,000 prims to 30,000 prims and paying extra for this and think Homesteads could do with an upgrade option also, I think this would help to get Homestead regions more popular and more online and gives people more usability for the space of the region.

A Cliffside/ In or On Rockface Linden Theme House, A house that sits on or semi-inside a Cliffside or Cave side. Half of the house being indoors and the other half being at the base or on the cliff face. the cliff and cliffside vegetation being part of the whole charm of it. possibility of a downstairs leading directly to water or tidal pool, perhaps you can even sial right up to the parcel. one can infer a small plunge pool or deck would look great on it.

Suggesting a warehouse district theme for Linden Homes. This would solve a bunch of things at the same time. Camera clipping through the ceiling or awkward navigation for people who play really zoomed out. "It feels too small. I'd rather be on this platform in the sky." (Paraphrased from real conversation I had yesterday.) More options for people who don't want to mimic real life. (This also checks the "I wish I could do this irl but zoning laws exist" box.) Free usage of the entire parcel while still following the covenant. (Since warehouses are rectangular, can extend all the way up the road, and usually don't have windows.)

The snowlands of the Sharp continent are lovely, but the road network (which is good in most of Sharp) is unfortunately not worth driving there because it doesn't connect to the rest of the continent. Is it possible to place a bridge across the 'empty' water sims to connect the road in Mizithra, via a bridge through Lappi, Danbo, and Tenshi, to Svecia please? Note that unfortunately, in Svecia, the connection will be challenging, as Tenshi comes in on the wrong side of the mountain! Ideally you'd want to move Bleu north of Danbo to make this connection very easily (so the connection would go Lappi, Danbo, Bleu (if it's north of Danbo)

I think Cliffside Neighborhood will be great. Different from the current themes that seem to embrace real life traditional building. These homes would offer a step toward making dreams real in SL. Here are some examples: https://gyazo.com/e016b07a76da1499d15f6c0dba5fb737 Instead of bicycles and boats you could give some kind of flying pod or da Vinci wings. I bet a lot of the non-human avatars (vampires, lycans, monsters, flying avatars and such) would flock to these cliffside homes.

LL should work with trusted users (well-known builders/creators) to fix some of the most glaring deficiencies on mainland roads. (EDIT: I understand people have proposed this before, unsuccessfully, because it involves giving people rez rights on the mainland. I get that, but one workaround would be for a Linden to take a copy of the relevant pieces of road, let the builder/creator fix it in a sandbox, then give the fixed version to a Linden who can rez it in-world.) Many roads on the mainland look way out of date, and there are a number of trouble spots that vehicles consistently have a hard time handling. I've attached some pics, but any resident who drives regularly can name 4 or 5 spots off the top of their head. It seems that some roads were designed to be “bad” to make them challenging, but the ever-present lag issue, among other things, makes them more frustrating than fun. Not to mention some of these roads are just plain ugly. In the ~20 years since the Mainland first opened, users have demonstrated the capacity to build roads on their own property that are at least as good as the current mainland roads, and in many cases substantially better. There are plenty of content creators who already sell road pieces, and I’ve even made a few myself even though I’m terrible with Blender. Many of these issues can probably be fixed in just a few hours by a competent builder, and would not require any interference with private property or significant changes to land impact. Users can work with LL staff to design the fixes in advance and simply “drop them in” when they’re ready, with minimal interruption to the traffic flow. Picking users for different projects could work just like a RL city picking a contractor. The Moles seem mainly focused on Bellisseria, and there simply aren’t enough of them to do much beyond that, but there are enough users who are more than capable of doing this for very little compensation, so why waste that talent? The mainland is at risk of becoming a wasteland, and while some problems might take a lot more work, these defects are low-hanging fruit that would noticeably improve the mainland experience with minimal investment of LL staff time.

i was touring what remains of the right of way for the WARR. and believe that it could be put back in covering a least twenty sims and stopping at the coast. it could be done as there's one band and property and a small corner of one mass them that borders near the open water way that would need to be claimed in order for a deterrent to make it through cleanly the rest of it can run on parts of the roadway i definitely believe that this project could be done . i've listed the above sections that the be a problem or need negotiations . 2025-12-15 : Abandoned Land, Tiretta (241, 253, 75) - Moderate a small section of this parcel would need to be procured for as a train to go through. the parcel nearest this location would need a small section cut from it Linden Right of Way, Andraca (35, 28, 33) - Moderate for it to be used and this would be the end of the track http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Elpenor/106/51/42 which ends right at the roadway year the western coast at the south. i think it's very well could be done and only having to procure part of an abandoned land and talking to one you person who owns a part have a small section that could easily be split off not needing to take their entire land. linden lab could buy the small section off the land near Andraca (35, 28, 33) it definitely would be very cool and i'm very sure of that so parcells would be very interested and hooking up to the railroad .

Locations: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Woorermal/239/164/65 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Leomund/170/14/56 I've just noticed that the railroad crossing signal devices at the above two locations, on both sides of the crossings, are stuck in a state where the red lights are flashing but the barriers are up. I tested with a locomotive to try and trigger the devices, but nothing changed. When I highlighted transparent surfaces I noticed the "Crossing Trigger" objects are missing from these two crossings for some reason. For example at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Woorermal/94/82/58 there is a "LDPW - Crossing Trigger" object, and also at the other end of the upcoming crossing at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Leomund/239/75/57 are in place, and the signals at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Woorermal/48/74/58 work correctly. However the Crossing trigger located in Leomund should probably be placed in Woorermal instead because my test now showed inconsistent results. Eventually the Crossing Trigger at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Woorermal/94/82/58 also triggered the signals at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Woorermal/239/164/65 on a third test. However after that, instead of shutting the flashing lights off, they kept flashing when the barrier went up - so this is inconsistent at best. This is not a new issue at these two crossings, they might be doing this ever since they have been placed here. Also as you can see in the second photo, all of these crossing signal objects have a convex hull collision physics shape, which reaches onto the sidewalk, which means in every single railroad crossing in Bellisseria which is equipped with signals, if we walk on the sidewalk, we bump into the invisible obstacles created by the convex hull physics shapes. I know the railroad here is exempt from QA and that's how these objects were able to pass, but it would be nice if at least the 6 objects at these 3 crossings here could be fixed, either set to phantom or replaced with a properly uploaded mesh that has a proper physics shape. (You can upload a custom physics shape in the mesh uploader.)

I would like to just see LL remove the rolls feature, and just have the letterbox on each property have an inbuilt default AVAILABLE sign. Then as an actual awesome experience, people can meander around regions, until they find their ideal 'home', they like the neighbourhood, they don't see any signs of things that may annoy them like strobe lights from next door etc. Then they just click the sign which understands that they are premium or plus that they have the linden home allowance to use, and it is theirs. If they already have a linden home, it will say ' by proceeding with this transaction you will lose your other home' and you agree, that then sets the other home to AVAILABLE. This means that if you do have multiple homes, with multiple accounts, this way if someone wants to swap homes between accounts or just let a friend have theirs, they can make it available when the person is standing there ready to snap it up, in the wee hours of the morning while the moon is covered by clouds (lol had to set the sneaky scene). This means that LL no longer has to deal with any of this stuff, the only situation they would be needed in is if there was some sort of glitch and it didn't work, lag hitting something like that. This also as mentioned gives people a more realistic fun experience, like buying that first home, and it ties in with the older promotion images of the couple in front of the home.
