Marianne Little Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 If you are in a private region, the region owner may have turned off terraforming. Fruit Islands and their regions do this. Do you pay rent to somebody, or did you buy mainland and pay directly to LL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gez12 Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 no i got terraform its just that im hopeless at landscaping and that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Little Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 The main issue is that people do not work with low strength, so the land overreacts and go up in spikes or too far down. Small measurements. What is it you want to form, a landscape with hills, and part sea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gez12 Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 all i can do is like make a dock area take end off to make the sea anything else no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marianne Little Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I wonder if you should hire a landscaper. They also place out a lot of decor elements like mesh pre-made landscapes, rocks, trees and flowers. You could as under the "wanted" section.

TT120 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I would just practice at it for a bit. If you mess it up, you can always "revert" and start over. Use very low strength, small size, and just click click click till you get it the way you want. If you want to make a certain section flat, you can "select" that area and flatten it with just a few clicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's something you're not really interested in though you can hire someone to terraform the land for you. I'm not interested in a terraforming job but I do have a nice quarter sim landscape you might be interested in -- the terrain is made from mesh, prims, and sculpts so no terraforming of the system terrain needed. You can view this quarter sim landscape at my skybox shop though I constructed this one for the ground too -- the name is Enchanted Rainforest and the flower in the middle at the landing area to the SkyBox shop will fly you to the sky to view it. Don't have it on the Marketplace yet so just make me an offer if you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gez12 Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 er thats not what i want in skybox nowhere to put home in sorry i dunno what to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethelwine Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) Flatten and Smooth are tools to use to unmess things. Just use raise and lower to get a section of land to the height you want and then use flatten to spread that area of height around where you want it to go. Use smooth to smooth out transitions between levels. It really shouldn't take that long to work it out. I only watched a few minutes of the video from about 5 mins in to 9 mins in and it looks like it should cover all that is needed to know and more in a very understandable way.

I only have it in my skybox section of the store for easy viewing and to demonstrate it can be a skybox too. The plants in the central raised area can be deleted and your home placed there.

Luna Bliss Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Just now, gez12 said: my home is little bigegr its 45x63 which i have to move majority of things out of that and mess it up If you don't want to move your home and its contents then you'd need to hire a customer designer who would terraform the terrain under and around your home and then decorate the surrounding area with plants, streams, waterfalls, or whatever. That can be time-consuming and expensive if you want it done nicely. I don't do that a lot anymore as it is so time-consuming to do a great job, but there are those who want those types of jobs. Try using Search or classified and input 'landscaper' , 'sim design', , 'region design', 'custom sim designer', 'custom sims'. Take a look at their work before you hire.

Luna Bliss Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 5 minutes ago, gez12 said: i looked dont have thousands lindens for custom designers so i dunno what to do I suggest continuing to practice terraforming to shape the land under and around your house, and then buy a few plants or prefab waterfalls to place around it. It will take some time to get it how you want but it can be fun to learn. If you want it all in an instant though I suggest my prefab ground garden...however you would need to delete your home and it's contents and redo it in the place allowed for the home in the prefab landscape.

Buttacwup Float Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 The same idea in the video works on a small parcel or a full region. It does take a bit of practice. Feel free to give me a shout in world, can try to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
