My favorite part so far is the whole deal: it feels like probably the first offering from Glitch (besides character design and, perhaps, other things I'm forgetting) that allows us to really use our imagination. Ironical.
My favorite thing is that it has encouraged people to be a lot more open about their houses and have guests over. It always felt awkward to ask to see someone's house with the old system. With this new system, most people are happy to show off! I've had many visitors already and have also seen some really cool houses. So I like this whole sharing thing. :)
I totally agree, Yeti! In my old house, it was so messy and strewn with herbs that I was afraid to let strangers in, for fear of them taking something valuable. Now, with the new house, I am much more organized, although I do have like over 50 bigger bags in my attic. :)
I also really like the shelving, because I never liked the cabinets in the old houses. They were just to crammed full all the time. Now, I can have all my drinks and food on four handy-dandy shelves.
It also helps that the houses are really cool too, with both types of gardens. ;)
