AnnHerrick Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 So I came back to SL after a long absence due to the exigencies of life, and had to get my premium account back, but now I've lost that Linden home and those on offer I'm not so keen on because of the low prim limit, 175 prims isn't much, and I have a lot of furnishings. Is there a way you can up the prim limit on those Linden homes? I'd like to get a home in Belaseria (?) but I'm sure there are none available, so I'm left with the Linden homes on offer, unless anyone knows of other options. Suggestions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar Legion Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) For the classic, 512 plots you most certainly can do a bit with them. The catch is to not go too 'crazy' with decorating. As for the larger 1024s on the new continent ..... Keep occasionally looking at the Homes on offer and something will eventually pop up. Do remember as well that there are a few additional restrictions for the Vehicular Enthusiast regions (the entirety of the new continent), mostly concerning how you manage parcel access and keeping a "corridor" between certain altitudes if you choose to have a Skybox.

AnnHerrick Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 Well thank you Solar, I shall keep looking and see what becomes available, I'm in no real rush about it, I'd just like to have my digs back. I put a lot of time and money into that house. I'd really like a 1024 plot if I can get it. Definitely do not want a skybox, or anything in a vehicular enthusiast region. A nice quiet country place would be ideal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Vehicular Enthusiast" is my nicer way of naming the newer "Linden Homes" regions - a whole continent that was put together, offering 1024 LH plots with alterations to the covenant making air, water and road travel 'better' for those who wish to do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claireschen Hesten Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 The old Linden homes are 175 prims because they are on a 512sqm parcel that prim limit can't and wont be increased. If you want Bellisseria keep an eye out on the homes page don't go for a caravan they are on 512sqm plots. Home themes come and go throughout they day, if you are after a specific theme such as "Stilt on water" you are better off getting the auto-refresh plug in for chrome tell it to find the specific theme you want set it to 80-90 sec refresh interval to avoid reach the 10 refreshes in 10 minutes time out when the theme you want comes up it will alert you if you are quick enough the home will be yours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnHerrick Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 Well I am looking at the Victorian homes now, of which there are several, but you cannot see pictures of the inside or tell which one you are choosing. They are 1024's, with a 315 prim limit, which is much better and I might go with the single story one if I can be sure that's what I'm getting. It should be if it's the one in the window when I name it, shouldn't it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to find a single story ranch style house if there is one somewhere on a 1024 parcel. I could buy some land I guess and just plop a house down on it, but I don't know how to go about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can go to Bellisseria and walk in the regions to see how people live and use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You choose the theme of home you are interested in owning (Traditional, Victorian, Chalet, Stilt, Camper ...) but you don't have to chose the particular style of home until you own a parcel in that theme. You can change the style of the home on your parcel as often as you like, and can customize its color. I suggest reading all the background information in the Knowledge Base so that you understand your options. Pay special attention to the Bellisseria covenant so that you understand what Solar is referring to when he talks about vehicles. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if I choose that Victorian parcel home I can then choose the style, but I'm guessing I can't put a ranch style house on it, only Victorian. Do you know if Bellisseria homes come up much? I know they are highly regarded and pretty spiffy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find a lot of information at the Bellisseria Citizens Headquarters. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Morning Dew/141/82/54 As already mentioned, you can select the home style after you have rented the parcel. Most theme areas have some one-story homes. The Log Houses are quiet backwoods area. Only the campers are 512 parcels with 1/2 the prims, so don't choose those if you want more LI.

I must be missing something...I've been away for a long time, it will take me some time to come back up to speed.

Exactly right. That's what the mailbox in front of your home is for, choosing the specific style of home on your Victorian parcel. You may choose the Doyle, Shelley, Hardy, or Verne style by simply clicking on the menu selection in the mailbox, but you cannot choose a traditional home or a stilt home, for example. All Bellisserian neighborhoods are in theme. Remember, of course, that you may also use your land impact allowance to modify your home's interior, to add on some types of external structures (within the theme) and to add landscaping to your parcel. 6 minutes ago, AnnHerrick said: Do you know if Bellisseria homes come up much? I know they are highly regarded and pretty spiffy. They come up all the time. People change homes a lot, especially as new themes are introduced (as one seems about ready to be released now, in fact). If you watch and are patient, you will see a lot of turnover on any given day. Follow the advice that Clairschen and others have given. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaylinbridges Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 FireFox In Firefox, goto Tools → Options → Applications Tab and scroll to Secondlife. Look to see if Firestorm is listed, if not, select “other”, then browse your hard drive to find the Firestorm.exe, click on it, select Open, then click Ok. (Reference: Applications panel—Set how Firefox handles different types of files.) OR Download and install the regular SL viewer - but don't run it. the second method is what I used. works for Firefox or Chrome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
