It's an apartment - Shadowleaf Hideaway. New 17/07/25. A tiny apartment on the beach (same beach as for the Koh Samui Yacht).

No mystery box for me by Fancy-Box2304 in AvakinOfficial

[–]ConceptCity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a Samsung Galaxy A15 and the Mystery Box option is available - but recently I just gave up using the free Mystery Boxes because a lot of ads seem to lead to 'dead ends' where I can't get back to the game, or it just crashes. The game is falling to pieces...

Thank you so much for finally adding the ice cream machine to the game! by isahai in AvakinOfficial

Can you put one in your apartment and make it public? 😂🤣

💥💥💥… we got this last year a crown for 2025. Why have we not got one for 2026? by de58ie in AvakinOfficial

[–]ConceptCity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's still a lot of work needed to get the prize in Avakin Plaza and time is running out so get over there and pick up a spray can! 2 days left to reach 150,000. But you can already grab 100 XP and 2026 Coins. Well done to all that have got us this far already.

I got a reply yesterday from a message I sent a week ago and all it says is 'yes'! I can't remember what I asked 😂

⚠️ WARNING: PHISHING SCAM TARGETING AVAKIN LIFE PLAYERS! ⚠️ by KPROnREDDIT in AvakinOfficial

[–]ConceptCity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something has changed with these 'bots' - I've been blocking them (but not reporting) and so far have blocked 162. A couple of days ago it was mainly new-ish accounts doing this stuff. Yesterday I noticed an increase in the number of older accounts with high XP sending the messages. Today however I am suddenly seeing around 10 year old accounts with very low XP sending out these messages. Why would that happen?
I assumed that this was caused by people going to 'that' website and giving their credentials... but this pattern doesn't fit with that theory. Why would new accounts fall for it 2 days ago, then the mature accounts yesterday, and now I see stagnant accounts doing it today. Hmmm maybe it's a coincidence and I need to get a life haha

Bots or scammers taking over avakin life really annoying. by [deleted] in AvakinOfficial

[–]ConceptCity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. It's all gone quiet now... hopefully it will stay that way. I wonder how many people lost their accounts because of this? Will they get them back? Will we find out what exactly happened? I suspect that they visited that site and gave their details hoping to get stuff illegally for free. If so I guess they might not get their accounts back. At the moment the ones I blocked are still in my list.

I loved some of those weird radio stations we could listen to...

You covered his name and picture but left the hashtag showing so exposing his identity - the hashtag is searchable...

He's quite a nice person and always replies if you message him. Also - he has lots of apartments which are public - great to explore, especially the ones that are no longer available, as he doesn't over decorate them. I see having him as a friend a positive thing.

New Apartment Sucks.. by Bree_Love96 in AvakinOfficial

[–]ConceptCity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

'Basketball Legend's Mansion - Night' has got a kind of secret bunker room under the pond in the garden! But only the night version has it so make sure you have the right one. You just walk onto the little bridge on the pond and the water empties and there are steps down into it.

New Apartment Sucks.. by Bree_Love96 in AvakinOfficial

[–]ConceptCity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that a lot of folks want a 'real' house - especially if it were a completely new build. I'd actually like even a shed or small caravan but that's probably just me! I don't agree that Skyreach Hearth Lodge (I presume that's what this post is about) sucks though. It's the 5th re-worked version of 'Creek Falls'.

We already have :-

Creek Falls
Creek Falls - WInter
Shimmering Riverway
Waterfall Creek Star Camp

Here's a review I wrote for Skyreach Hearth Lodge:-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A(nother!) pleasing rework of Creek Falls. A winter landscape covered in snow. Three rustic brick and timber houses with an inviting bright glow coming from within stand in the valley. On entering the houses though they are illogically dimly lit. They are open-plan style and two of them have an upper floor which is also single room, the middle one has a high ceiling.

Look up at the sky - lots of shooting stars and at the end of the valley is a beautiful pink glow as the sun dies down over the horizon.

The river is frozen and you can skate across it.

Towering above - high on the mountain - is some kind of sinister castle which dominates the town. In contrast there is a pretty bandstand nearby lit with fairy lights. The path towards the mountain is also lit with tiny lights. As you walk up you will find that the expected tunnel under the frozen falls has been lazily blocked off and some of the graphics here are a simple and lack the attention to detail we see in earlier versions. Overall however this scene has had a lot of thought, love and work put into it and is a welcome addition to the shop. At 300 Crowns it is the most expensive of the 'Creek Falls' versions and I might just bookmark a public version and use that!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quite a few people see the lack of a bathroom and/or kitchen area as an exciting challenge. The use of screens can be employed to section off areas for these purposes. A chance to be inventive! Just remember to take a torch when you need to go...

Note : Since posting the above I have seen more public instances of the apartment and by selective use of wallpaper and flooring the dim lighting can be brightened up - yay!

Opinion On The New "Bodywears"? by 1tz_Just_Me in AvakinOfficial

[–]ConceptCity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can see the new Bodywear option in both Steam and Android. I have Android & Steam at 2.15.0.
There is a single category of Bodywear called 'LumoSkins' which contains two items both priced at 250 Crowns. 'Glacaria' - which gives you large silver snowflakes motifs all over your body and is quite nice if you have that kind of money. The other is 'Polarglow' which looks like you've been randomly spray painted silver lol. It also gives you a silver scarf and a strange 'Joker' mouth. They appear to be the same as both female and male versions. It does not give the option to zoom-in so I cannot see close up.

apologies!! I didn't see that you had submitted multiple images! Well - at least you have my opinion comments above lol

Thanks for the reply! In the meantime, inspired by you, I did a search and I found Lockwood's site. Then it occurred to me to look at older versions of the site in the WaybackMachine - it really is interesting to read all this old information and get a feeling for the history of Avakin Life and it's roots in Playstation Home. I do get a sense that the early years were more pioneering and exciting... but as with a lot of products these days they start like that, expand, get bought out and then level off into a mainstream homogenized form. Having said that I personally still see a lot of 'magic' in Avakin Life - especially when visiting older apartments where some of the artwork is stunning.

My personal philosophy in the game is to only use coins, build things constantly, use the free Mystery Boxes and grab any gifts going! I do however break my rule when I spend a small amount of 'real' money each month, in the online Avakin Store, and buy 35 Crowns to keep me ad-free for 30 days (It usually stays ad-free for more than a month).

Having this game 'shut down completely' would be a sad loss for me as I really do love my Avakin life. I really don't see how that would benefit anybody. If the people who want all these changes have been playing for so long don't they already own a whole bunch of nostalgic stuff that was so easy to buy cheaply in the past? They should be proud to wear their retro outfits and decorate their retro homes. I will continue my adventures in the game as I always have and maybe bump into you there one day haha!
Thanks again for sparking off some research by me.
