Oh, help, low LI curtains?

[Fay Starlight]

I just won some really neat Ionic curtains in a gacha and i was all excited---8 prim!? 

Why are curtains SOOOO high prim?

I found these on the Marketplace. They are very detailed and not on a flat prim. They are 2 prims but I took out the second lace panel on the bottom and stretched the remaining one across and that reduced it to one prim. I made the panel sheer so you can see through it easily. I removed that panel altogether on some windows (like the kitchen).

Those curtains in my house. I forgot to add above that these come in a full permission version.

Bringing up the thread so we have all the information in one.

Friday July 10th: Fifty Linden Friday. The best, is that if you do not need to close the curtains, but use the Linden home blinds, you can get the 3 Li large ones down to 2 Li. Unlink the "closed curtain" part. You see it when you have the curtains open and "highlight transparent". Unlink this part and voila, 2 Li curtains. They fit a double Traditional window and are still 2 Li. Raise the curtain so the rod is over the window, select the curtains and stretch them down. I have not tested the other houses.

Thank you, Marianne! You give us such great ideas and resources for our homes.

I bump this thread, because the more curtains, the less risk you have the same curtains as the whole street. 🤭

I bought them on 25 Li Tuesday sale, and do not know the price now.They are not scripted to open, so you must select each panel and drag them to the side, if you will have the double curtains open instead of closed. This is very easy since the rings are a part of the panel and move with the fabric. You can also select the fabric and tint it. It is a natural linen version that is suitable for this.

Edit: Muniick has another set of curtains, "Dobbins". They are 5 Li and I don't call that low Li.

Edit 2. The Dobbins curtains are marked as "2 li" on the Marketplace, this is wrong.
