If you know your neighbours and you live close enough to each other you may be able to test it while you are waiting for a response to your ticket?

If you know your neighbours and you live close enough to each other you may be able to test it while you are waiting for a response to your ticket? That's good advice, but it's not likely to be much of a problem. You can only rez objects on your own land, so it's very unlikely that your neighbor's house will be closer than your own when you rez the lights. You should of course check to be sure that you are rezzing lights that are designed for your own style of home. Even if you accidentally rez lights that were designed for your neighbor's house, though, they will not snap to that house if your neighbor has UNchecked the box in World > About Land > Options that allows Object Entry for everyone. For your immediate issue, however, Zoya's advice is the best. Submit a support case to ask someone to see why your house controller isn't giving you the content package. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can add another string to this combination and still 4 Li. @Leora Jacobus - Yes, what @Marianne Little said. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knutz Scorpio Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Just shave 11 LI off my set of Winter Premium Gift Lights (from 52 down to 41) by changing its physic type to none after linking a cube of physics type convex hull to it as root. Was hoping for more of a LI savings but it'll due for a month and save me from buying or making light strings. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Little Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I wish I could find a low Li decor car with a Christmas tree tied on top of it. Like I came home after buying it. I have a 5 Li red pickup truck with a tree, but that looks so very farmhouse style. I saw a 33 Li car in one event now, was it Fameshed or other. But I can't use 33 Li. Wish I could find a more urban, low Li car with a tree on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knutz Scorpio Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 This is the truck-with-tree I got in my front yard as a decoration. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/NOW-BACK-The-Holiday-Rockwell-Truck-Limited-Edition/8219154 Very happy with what I got though I had to download/edit/upload the texture to get rid of the snow. It looks great with the snow on it, I just don't feel like adding snow to the rest of my house and lot so that the truck doesn't look comically out of place. Once I figured out how to easily edit it I ended up with a backyard packed with about a half dozen trucks of various colors like some vehicle hoarder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nika Talaj Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I don't know where to put this, but with today's pic Patch draws our attention to another Christmas/ACS event. His description: Quote I am delighted that I have again been invited to live narrate the Candlelight Processional with choral and orchestra music on December 12th and 19th at 4:30pm SLT. Come watch as I tell the story! This reinforces my initial impression that the previous day's Let it Snow picture was simply drawing attention to the LH Auction for ACS, not an elaborate hint to home hunters 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone go to this event? Honestly, the typical USA person is at work during many LL events of this type -- things like their annual Halloween Crawl, the annual Snowball Fight and the various inworld LL meetings. This one is actually the exception with it occurring towards the end of the LL day, though for many of us in the US that are not in LL timezone, it meant dinner time. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fauve Aeon Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) If you decorate for winter holidays, when do you traditionally take your decor down? Covenant requires it to be gone 15 days after the holiday so that’s January 9th for Christmas decor but many people are superstitious and take it down earlier. before New Year’s Day, believing bad Luck will fall on those with last year’s decor still up when the New Year dawns. January 5 or 6, 12th Night or Epiphany. Celebrating the 12 days of Christmas after Advent and Christmas Day maximizes the holiday festival time. In the past it was believed that tree-spirits lived in the greenery – such as holly and ivy – that people used to decorate their homes. Whilst the festive season provided shelter for these spirits during the winter, they needed to be released outside once Christmas was over. If this custom wasn’t followed, greenery would not return and vegetation would not grow as a result, causing agricultural problems. 2020 Chinese New Year celebrations are January 25th- February 8th.

Pretty much everywhere I've lived in the US, the Christmas decorations come down usually no later than the first weekend of the new year, though sometimes it will be a bit longer if the weather is bad. For my Linden Home plots, I will pick up my Christmas themed stuff shortly after the new year, but my general 'very light' wintery stuff will stay out a while longer.

This is the first time I immediately took down my Christmas decorations in SL. This is one of those rare years where there was no snow in RL where I live in Michigan. I still have my decorations at home up and will probably take them down before the New Year. The guidelines Patch gave was no more than 30 days before a holiday. Decorations would need to come down 15 days after the holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
