After using/owning the various levels of LL homes that come with the various Membership levels, I end up being bored with them. Recently, I've been thinking about why this is and how they could be made more enjoyable.

My suggestion is to make the layout of the LL homes more like what you would find in RL, in and around towns and villages. In real life, when you look at how a town or village has grown, it generally starts around a central feature like a river conflux, or perhaps beside a special feature on a road. Older houses and businesses are usually located in the central areas, with mostly smaller landholdings. As you move out, there are neighbourhoods of various ages and styles, and the parcels are generally bigger. What you don't see is what LL has done by creating minimal variations in housing, all in the same style for as far as you can see, all with the same size parcel and the same landscaping.

When I had a Premium Plus home, the house itself was quite nice, but when I looked around, all the other houses were variations of mine. The same can be said for the other levels of membership.

It wouldn't make sense to have tropical homes beside Nordic-style homes, of course, but otherwise, wisely mixing up the neighbourhoods would make things much less bland and more realistic. You could segue between seasonal homes and non-seasonal homes by buffering them with gradually changing foliage. Why not mix a 'little Italy' into the North American-style homes? Or mix a 'little Japan' beside the houses on stilts? There are many possibilities. Otherwise, we are stuck living in tract housing, and that is really unimaginative.
