Premium Account - included land

[Sharven Raabe]

I'm wondering whether the land included in a premium account gives the owner choice over whether it is general, mature or adult land. And whether you can simply delete the house that comes with it and put your own in it's place, assuming it still fits the theme of the land.

I see this right, that it's always a 512sqm parcel with 117 prims, minus the prims for the house itself?

As a Premium member you can either opt for one of the Linden homes which is 512sqm and 117 prims (the house prim count is NOT included in the land prim count so actually you have more prims than if you bought a vacant 512sqm parcel)  and it is tier free OR you can buy your own 512sqm parcel and put your own home on it and it is tier free.  You cannot get a Linden home and delete it for something else.

 If you purchase your own 512sqm parcel, it can be on land of any mature rating.

A premium account gives you the ability to own 512sqm of land without having to pay any additional monthly tier.  There are a couple ways you can use this benefit

1. Get a Linden Home - These are predefined land parcels on themed land.  They are 512sqm with 117 prim and a house that does not count against the parcel prim allotment.  They are only available on Mature rated sims and you cannot use a Linden Home for commercial use such as running a shop.
2. Buy your own land - You can purchase 512sqm of land on any mainland sim (owned by LL).  You have to pay for the land upfront, buying it from either another resident, getting it at auction or buying abandoned land directly from LL at $1 per sqm.  In general all these parcels will support 117 prim and you would have to build your own house which would count against that prim count.  However, you can buy land in General, Mature or Adult sims.  And you can use this land for commercial purposes.   Also note that there are a few mainland locations with double prim counts, so that 512sqm parcels have 234 prims.  These are hard to comeby and extremely expensive to buy upfront but if you find one the monthly tier is still free.

Last thing to mention is that you can buy/ownland from other residents on private estates without having a premium account.  These you can find on General, Mature and Adult sims.
