You DID decorate your house, right?

To be fair, I suspect most players don't even think about the "enter once every 45 days" because they're actively using their house and don't concern themselves with what others do. The attention mainly comes from those who have been unable to get a house or have friends who don't have one. Perhaps a few of the concerned players are those looking to upgrade and see an apparently unused house on a plot they would consider an upgrade.

Are there that many players that consider ownership of a house some sort of flex that they get one then ignore it?

I think the reasons for buying a house for the first time and the reasons for keeping it are different. It's not necessarily a flex but a feeling of having something valuable and not wanting to let it go.

An empty looking house is like a bad hair day. It may look like one shouldn't be showing it to the public but it doesn't mean it was always like that or that it always will be. Shaving it off is a drastic solution and many don't want to do it because it may never grow back. Some people like their hair even if it looks like it's been neglected for months. As long as one keeps it, they have the option to do a makeover one day.

I agree that the players who are looking to buy or upgrade but can't are behind most of the complaints but I think their complaints are unjustified. People asked for a lottery that doesn't discriminate. The consequence is that any homeowner who buys a ticket and wins the RNG game is good enough and they don't have to prove themselves in any way. It's time to stop complaining and let rightful owners enjoy their plots in whichever way they choose.

Yes I did!

I did, finally! I won my small the second cycle after the new wards came in (in ward 19, though). I had crippling decorator's block for about 6 weeks, then desperately begged a friend to help who I knew was pretty good with these things, and we finally got it done.

i made my house set up in 5 hours and by me it destroys all my lawn is crazy looking to lol it looks like i had a crew come in and mulch it with water ect lol

im in bet mist 23 12

Outside yes, inside is being worked on at the moment. Main problem is that I'd have preferred an FC house for what I'd ideally like to do, but owning a Medium Private, a Medium FC House, an apartment, AND an FC room, would be kind of greedy housing-wise, and one of them would probably get neglected.

I was a lucky mansion winner in the 6.3 ward release. Took 29 days to decorate doing it a few hours per day.
Moved the medium FC house post 6.3 and redecorated. Took 13 days.

I, IMO, have 2 of the best designed houses on my entire server. Based on my site seeing tours in almost every neighborhood and open house on Lamia.

Fc House Goblet W25, P36 (37?) red roof

If you like high effort homes, feel free to visit anytime.

I'm in the process of doing so, I was lucky enough to win my bid for a P60 mansion in Shiro yesterday, the plot I always wanted :3

So Mihgo Manor moved from my old address at Goblet W14 P35 to Shiro W14 P60, so I'm very happy when I won out of 45 people bidding on it. I'm still working on the yard, so it's a work in progress and then I'll get to working on the inside of my mansion soon. I am still deciding on what the final look will be for the yard. So unlike the small that's empty in front of my new home, I'm decorating it right away.

Yep! I decorated it within hours. It was pretty fun. I'm already looking for new exterior ideas since mine are pretty bleh.

Jenova Shiro W26 P9 if you want to visit! :)

Maybe if I would ever win a lottery I could decorate a house. Doesn't matter if you're the first bidder still loose 100% of the time.
