Basically Grand Theft Auto for the Holodeck. That has just about everything I’d like. ---

Since there doesn’t seem to be any size limit I’d create a big island. I’d have my home be on the beach. It would be Mediterranean style with big patios, big fully stocked kitchen, lots of wine and alcohol (hopefully you can at least _feel_ drunk and full in the holodeck even if the food and wine aren’t real). The house would also have very comfortable and cozy rooms and a library. Near the beach would be sailing boats and I’d have nearby islands that are scenically beautiful that we could sail to and around. The beach itself would be perfect for beach parties. As you work into the interior of the island I’d have vineyards that I could work if I’m in the holodeck on my own so I could make my own wine. I’d have gardens where I grow some of my own herbs and spices that I’d use in food I’d cook in there. I’d have a golf course, tennis courts, bike paths, and gardens that I could relax in if I wanted to. Moving even further in I’d have a mountain range. At a certain elevation I’d set up a second home as a mountain retreat. It could be snowy, with ski slopes for downhill skiing, but I’d have a large plateau for cross country skiing or snowmobiling if desired instead. My program would incorporate all of my favorite places into something I could see at any given time depending on which direction I was facing. I could set the weather for whatever mood I wanted to convey and it would be geared to fun social gatherings with whoever wanted to come in. And no fake porn or artificial characters. I’d invite my best friends and real girls I’m interested in to spend time with me in my program. If things happen, then great! ---

And the path does a loop-de-loop. And it’s a Jurassic park. and it’s full of hookers and black jack tables. On second thought forget the park… and the black jack. I think replicas of Victoria’s Secrets models pillow fighting to see who will join me on another aerial adventure in my P-51 Mustang. Yes, single seat. I did say it was going to be an adventure 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/describe-your-perfect-holodeck-program/689906.md?page=1)
