Savanah Lewsey Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 Yeah i know, but i mean, are people managing to furnish sufficiently - even with low prim, 117 isn't a great deal. PS - I have some of your stuff - love it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveAngeL Lyre Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Hello Savanah. 117 prims are enough if you manage them wisely using low primed stuff. I have decorated some linden homes in past but never i have never used more than 90 prims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savanah Lewsey Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 lol maybe i'm just a greedy prim hog :-D .... I managed, just .. i think i have about 10 left atm :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pussycat Catnap Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 On mainland, before the linden homes, I managed to rez a garden, home in the sky, tea house, shop with goods, and gazebo - all on a 512m 117 prim lot. Scale down, and cut prim costs on the goods you rez. If on Viewer-3, you can cut how many prims an object takes up by switching prim-based items to Convex Hull in the 'features' tab under "Physics Shape Type". It can cut the prim cost of some items nearly in half, without changing their appearance inworld. Doesn't work on everything though - I think it fails on scripted items, so the prims with scripts need to be unlinked from the others first. House - 19-30 prims. Bed - 1-9 prims sofa - 1 prim chair 1-prim coffee table 1-prim shop - 10-prims cafe - 10 prims gazebo - 1-prim (it was a rezzer item, caoable otherwise on 5-9 prims.) trees: 2-prims each. wall picture 1-prim Shop goods: 1 prim each, newbie shop, maybe 10 items. Sky-platforms for cafe / shop: 1-2 prims each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are sofas 30 and 35 prims. At home i have one only 4 prims, colour change and full menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savanah Lewsey Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 wow - impressive! I don't use V3, i use Phoenix .. but a handy tip to keep in mind, thanks :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pussycat Catnap Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Chances are you have a few big offenders - like a tree that's using up a prim per branch, or dinnerware that's similar. I have 1 tree that uses 40 prims... if I'd have known before I bought it, I would not have. But I impulse bought... On a Linden Home at least your building itself itsn't the wasteful item. Well, it is, but its not costing you. Linden homes are very primmy for what they contain. Look to tables, beds, chairs - tables and chairs can usually be just 1 prim. Beds too, but most good ones will burn up a little more. Above 10-prims and toss it. Find your highest 3 prim items, and go window shopping for idential themed things that use fewer prims. Be wary of mesh goods - they're not sculpties - they burn prims, but probably not as much as non-viewer-3 prim items. Make sure you didn't leave something like hair or a designed shopping bag rezzed.

Randall Ahren Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I've been looking for an excuse to post a photo of my fomer Linden Home. :matte-motes-evil: I say former, because I abandoned it when a 512 sqm parcel came for sale adjacent my shop that I wanted to use my LH tier to buy. The furniture is not particularly low-prim. I had about 8 prims left over and other than window treatments, I left the upstairs undecorated.

So i thought to try it to my land. My pier was 9 prims. When i changed under Features tab and Physics Shape Type the option from "Prim" to Convex Hull, suddently it became 110 prims and returned to my lost and found folder because i hadn't so many prims available. Now it's showed as -phantom part-. I can't rezz it again except of i delete some other stuff to free some prims. Fortunately it was copy. Maybe i missed something or i didin't understand right.

Savanah Lewsey Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 Looks very nice :-) mine seems too big for what furniture I have, lots of room - maybe I should look at some of the other designs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Ahren Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 That particular LH is the Greyson from the Meadowbrook theme. Most of the interior space is on the first floor. You don't need a lot of furniture. Go for a spacious austere look. You just need a place to rez in, unpack boxes, try on some clothes, and entertain guests occasionally. You can see more photos here.

Might have had scripts in it. Or other issues. Its a case by case kind of thing to be tested in a sandbox to see what goes down and what up.

Savanah Lewsey Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 Mine is also Meadowbrook theme :matte-motes-grin: I used to have land but my time on SL became limited & i didn't see the point in paying for something i was rarely using so i gave it up & stuck with the LH .. which as you say, is somewhere to rez & hang out! Maybe i'll just have a play with the way my furniture is positioned before i think about moving to another design *smiles* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did stretch one or two things to make the most of them - bookcase, etc. The home I had was ok for that but I only had a few spare prims left over. The A-frame houses are easy to fill in the 117, and I think the hobbit types are also easy, but there is a type that has much more space inside, and I don't think that one all that easy to fill. Maybe you have one of those The one I had was sort of in between. ETA: I think that the picture that Randall posted is the type I meant that is more spacey and not as easy to fill. The home I had was less spacey than that but I filled 2 floors and, if I hadn't made the wall-to-wall carpets and curtains for both floors, when 10m was the limit, I would have had plenty of spare prims left over.

PeterCanessa Oh Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 What about all those people who have 512sqm parcels which AREN'T Linden homes. For them the 117 prims allowed has to include the house itself, not just the furniture and decorations. [My best is a 25m x 12m house, 3 rooms, shower, roof-garden, fountain and pool = 6 prims. Bedroom, living-room and garden/beach furniture = 3 prims, sculpted 1-prim-per-room] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
