Potomac Signature Homes 2021 Christmas at Avalon Cove

 

With Christmas in NINE weeks, I wanted to throw a special shout out to one of my favorite designers in second life.. okay, no lets be real, she's not just my favorite, in fact, if its not by her, I don't live in it. Winter Loxely .. Winter is the Owner and creator of  Potomac Signature Homes and Loxely Estates
In the next few weeks I'm going to be showcasing a few of her AMAZING Christmas houses.. I personally have the ones from the last few years.. You see my husband turned me onto Winter, and since then there's been no turning back.. So stick with me while I show you off the amazing world this woman has created, all while leading up to her new Christmas house release coming up in a month or so.. (I so cant wait to see it.. I've already have a feeling just like her other houses its going to take my breath away when I see it in person.  So lets dive right in shall we? 


Here you have just one look at the front of the house... what you see here is the main entrance, the front porch where there's a sweet lil swing, and the "carriage house" so to speak which holds a sweet lil surprise.

 here's a close up of that sweet lil "carriage house"

more info on this home....

 A little disclaimer before I do that though,  I think its important I let you know that these Christmas houses, when she releases them are only for a limited time only.. You can find these houses at Potomac right now HOWEVER they are NOT the Christmas versions, but the every day versions (which are just as gorgeous I need to add) .. You CAN however buy some of the furniture you see as a pack on the sim :) 
***** The house itself rezzes in at 167 land impact (the kitchen is included in that number), and is 40 x 29 meters.  *****

Also included in the package is a main house only version of the home, useful for smaller parcels.  This is the same as the regular house, but without the flex/bonus room.

There are a lot of rezzable options in this home.  When you click the Outside Accessories button next to the front door and rez the decor, you have options for summer, fall and winter exterior 

Windows:  Click the controller marked Windows (next to the front door) for a drop down menu of options.  You can set the inside view to clear, rain, snow, or falling leaves.  Exterior windows have a variety of curtain texture options.  Do not link anything to the doors and windows, they need to stay in their linkset to work properly.  Click on the lower window panes to open them, you'll notice it doesn't change the falling snow or hanging curtains effect. Windows can only be opened from the inside of the home. 

Click on the fireplace for the menu, you can rez logs with fire, logs without fire, and smoke in the chimney.

Kitchen: the kitchen is animated with singles, couples, and (in the furnished version) adult animations, click on the island to animate your avatar. To change the texture for the cabinets and countertops, click the kitchen light switch.  Click the microwave control pad to change the colors of the appliances. Water will automatically turn on in the sink when you're using the dishwashing animation.

The roof has multiple texture options, and the fall leaves come on automatically with the fall exterior decor rezzer, so they will work with any roof texture. Click on the Textures button next to the front door, and choose Roof. 

The floors and decks have multiple texture options, also available through the Textures button next to the front door.  An added bonus to the floor texture changer - if you accidentally drop a texture on the floor, no need to worry - just click the Textures button, choose Floors and you can reset the textures. Bedrooms each have their own floor texture changer, so you can have carpet in one room, and hardwood in another, for example.

Doors:  The doors are automatically opening - you can either click them to open, or just walk into them and they will open for you.  Doors are initially set with access for everyone.  To lock them, click on a door, hold the button while you drag your mouse across the door.􀀁  You will get a menu of options, where you can set the door to owner only, group tag only, or everyone.  This can be set separately for EACH door. 

Land Impact breakdown:
House: 171
Winter decor 62
Summer decor 38
Fall Decor 29

For the FURNISHED VERSION ONLY: You'll find lots of furniture and accessories inside, and many are texture change so you can use them year round!  Two furnished bedrooms (texture change for year round use), another bedroom that comes furnished as a bathroom, a theater (all you need is your favorite tv, since a TV does NOT come with the home) a living room set, a breakfast table set, a dining room set with texture change chairs and placemats, a patio set on the back deck that is texture change for year round use, and rocking chairs on the front porch, also texture change.  

Many of the furniture pieces have rezzables that vary in land impact depending on what you rez. Click on dressers and nightstands to see all your options. 

Furniture land impact counts:

Foyer: 11
Dining (front room): 27 not including rezzable meals in the table (they vary)
Breakfast room: 37  not including rezzable meals in the table (they vary)
Curtains in kitchen and breakfast room: 10
Living Room: 32  
Bedroom 1:  43 
Bedroom 2 (bathroom): 53
Bedroom 3:  34  
Theater: 63
Front Porch Rocking Chairs: 19
Patio Furniture: 35

So, 364 total for furniture, not counting optional rezzables inside the furniture.  

Extra copies of the furniture are included for using outside of the rezzer switches.  For example, if you wanted to set one of the Avalon Cove bedroom sets in a different house, don't take into inventory the ones from the bedroom rezzer switch, instead use the extra copy - it's not scripted specifically to work with that rez switch.
