Chic Aeon

I was busy looking up that truck and forgot the rest of your post. So far as rezzing props go -- I "THINK" that anything that attaches doesn't count as it is and attachment (hence ''read a book" animation). [See below] Anything that "appears" on the scene as an option most likely counts as land impact. Cheeky Pea had lots of those long ago; don't know about now. A few creators don't actually "add" props to an item but just show textures or make transparent. In that case turning on textures wouldn't change the land impact. Temp rezzers are against the rules and seldom used these days anyway as far as I know. They caused SO MANY problems, they were just BAAAAD. I think the front porch addition with the pillars, cement pad and widow's walk roof is 9. My carport without the fancy windows is 5 LI (glass or no glass). The ones with windows and windows and patio cement are 12. The many paned windows with hardware are high LOD so they upped things but the details are very nice so I am fine with that.

You can always be "out shopping" LOL. I don't have a ROAD so a car isn't very realistic. But I do have a path and that works with a motorcycle (vespa style). I am a VERY bad driving but I am going to try and improve. Oh, Mesh India had a truck gacha with trucks that don't move (just props). They have good LODs (most cars do not unfortunately) and are only 13 - 14li. Might be on the aftermarket.

Mailbox for the siding and bricks. The other textures I baked in Blender. Baking to MATCH is NOT EASY LOL. Especially since I likely use a different 3D software program.

Actually I can't remember ever doing in promoting (over ten years as a creator). I have never had a store group (even for clothes or jewelry long ago). My only "ad" is in Places for 30 lindens a week and gives you a places page which most folks don't fill out but I did. I did a lot of events over the last couple of years so that is promotion but it doesn't cost anything - assuming you sell more than the fee :D. No I am only doing one and an occasional special event. So just keep learning and improving; I think that is the best plan for most folks --- at least those of us who are not marketers :D.

My Winchester is styled for the moment - whew. Tons of "clutter" as in books and plants and kitchen stuff as well as a garden of raised beds, some beachy bushes and three add-on builds (front porch, covered patio and carport) a motorcycle, moving boxes outdoor porch seating etc and I STILL have 46 land impact left. Woot. I linked a few things together to save on LI and I have a few items that are "primmy" but are eye catching and so I am leaving them. Lots of homey things outside with a lived in look. I like empty spaces and I like "lived in clutter"; somehow they seem to coexist -- for me anyway. Feel free to come see. I am in Heathstone on the beach and the only beachfront house with add-ons and outside clutter at the moment. Happily last night my neighbor changed from Winchester to one of the small houses so it isn't ONLY a sim with the all same houses LOL. I have a lending library on the front porch and sometime soon it will give out books; on my list along with a wheelbarrow! So how are you guys doing with your "prim allotments" :D. ??????

Mine were all blogger copies so I did some recon. The gacha with the sunflowers is at the landing point in the main store. It has the very pretty potted plants too, but of course you take a risk of getting furniture LOL. The TREE that I like is available at the main store on. There is very little on the Marketplace and virtually no aftermarket for the gachas (at least on the marketplace). So I will go REVISE my "tip" as it isn't going to do folks much good. Sorry.

I went to your Marketplace store and saw a couple of "problems". Honestly the Marketplace is a big market and it is difficult for most folks to get to the top of the list. That being said. I didn't see that you had an inworld store (this from looking at a few listings anyway) so there is no way for folks to see your products and test the LODs and see the textures as they will be when rezzed. For many folks these days, that is a deal breaker. I don't buy if I can't see the product or try a demo (mostly wearables) and I don't expect others to either. Also most of your items are things that have been made previously by many other creators, so nothing really to make your products stand out. As many folks have said over the years, it is difficult to make a real life living in SL and many folks don't even break even :D. So the best outlook for those starting out is to enjoy the process and have fun and if you make some money, that's a bonus. Good luck.

While I am happy with the change (I never use ban lines or orbs and have only banned a few people in over a decade -- and that was at MOSP and not my personal plots) I do agree that The Lab should have thought a bit further ahead on the security issues and foreseen the problem. They do sometimes still (getting better) miss the big picture and "living in world" points. Meanwhile folks seem to be visiting my house when I am not there or at least opening doors. I don't have a big problem with this. No sex furniture LOL so they can't do anything lewd. They COULD just learn how to cam better :D.

A little note on TREES (and plants and other outside things ) for folks that have their LODs set at 4 :D. You might want to change your LOD settings temporarily down to at least 2 to see how a majority of folks will see your outdoor things from their viewpoints ------ this only if you CARE what your neighbors think :D. Some of them fall apart VERY quickly. Meanwhile, wanted to say that RIORO is a super brand for low land impact plants. I already posted my favorite tree somewhere (so many threads) but there are some great houseplants. Some are gachas so you could check the aftermarkets or of course the gachas are likely in the main store (?). Sunflowers 2 LI for two bunches. REVISED because Luna asked (see below). While these area available still in a gacha machine there is nothing on the Marketplace. Keep your eye out though if you are an aftermarket gacha person as all the plants are very nice.

Morning in the garden looking towards the park.

This isn't just to you but I am getting pretty tired of all the folks complaining that they didn't get theirs. The Lab KNEW (or certainly suspected) that the offerings would disappear quickly. Patched WARNED people (including telling them that if they gave up their current 512 house and there were no available new spots that they couldn't get their same 512 house back again). I mentioned that a few times for the folks that didn't take the time to watch his talks. Those of us on the SSP thread for the last nine months were WATCHING and WAITING and a good number of those folks got some of the first spots. EVERYONE HAD THE SAME CHANCE. People just needed to pay attention and watch for the announcement. I saw the news maybe 20 minutes after it came out BECAUSE like many others here on the forums I was paying attention. The Lab has done a spectacular with the new area and the folks working on it for almost a year have been doing just that --- WORKING. So let's be grateful that we have this lovely new area and stop shaking our fingers at the folks that gave it to us. REALLY!!!!!!

To go along with this (thumbs up) , many of us on the SSP thread have been watching for around nine months. When you look at the organic nature of the new continent it is obvious that it took a LONG time to get that in place. I suggest you spend a LOT of time in the forums watching these next few weeks (this for everyone) or miss out again.

Very soon. They are working on a new "atole" area over in the SSP region. Patch posted earlier today. BE SURE AND WATCH WHAT IS GOING ON if you expect to get one of the new additions when it they are released. No excuses now, be informed or miss out. (this isn't just to you but to ALL the folks complaining that they didn't get there (simply because they WEREN'T paying attention) :D. Good luck.

Patch posted and it is the "soon to be" additional boat houses. Hopefully they will be out in the ocean a bit. I doubt that folks who picked "unobstructed view with no boats" would be very happy to find that the neighborhood had changed abruptly. I am pretty sure Patch gets that :D. Currently they are on the map below the SSP sims. It is an "atole" kind of place -- only boats.

I am about done with my exterior add-ons and moving inside soon. I have added a sheltered patio outside the French doors in back, a carport to the side (same multi-purpose build) and the front porch that I made on day one. So my house looks a bit different than the other 500 Winchesters LOL. Lots of fun. I am going to take Sunday off and get on my bike (I have a super cool motorcycle from {what next} but I am NOT a good driver (more practice needed) and wander the roads. I am hoping to bike over to my friend's house on the other side of the continent. Tomorrow may be living room design or I may tackle upstairs (both undone at present).

While Patch confirmed today that some more new 1024s will happen "soon", most will be houseboats -- it sounded like to me anyway. Either way whoever is WATCHING will get them. There can't be that many and tons of folks wanting them. So stay alert =-= like the folks that got the lots this time out. :D.

It is a Continental and unfortunately it is already 15 meters high so likely that cut build can't stay. But maybe it is SO cute that it can :D.

Super creative!!!! :D. Important to note that you can't have anything higher than 15 meters (see the covenant and the rules sheet) so you might want to measure the height of your "spire" -- I would hate to see that disappear. Super cute.

Sounds like a good plan. You DO know that the new homes (current ones anyway) are 1024 lots and not 512s? So you need 1024 of open tier if you want to keep your payment "free". That is explained in the Linden Homes wiki. Just in case there was some confusion :D. Likely some Bellisseria folks will leave because of the new security rules so now and then there will likely be availability. I certainly hope that the folks with houses don't abandon to "get a better lot" as it is unlikely they can get one now ^^.

They DID predict demand correctly and Patch warned those of us paying attention that the houses and houseboats would go VERY quickly. I reported his warning here in the forums at least once -- and likely more than that LOL. The only thing that LL might not (no info just a guess) have been wrong about was the popularity of the houseboats --- although that seemed pretty clear from all the chatter during the homes preview.

Just wanted to note in general that those paying attention (always a good thing in "real life" too) heard Patch stating (and warning) folks that there weren't enough plots now for all those that would want them. This was in a video and I know that I reported that info here in the forums at least once. Many of us have been watching the new continent come into being for three quarters of a year or so. Many of the watcher folks got gorgeous plots (some got two with alts) -- simply because we were AWARE and waiting. There ARE plans for more house and houseboats (official). You can see them already there on the SSP continent (just type that into the map and you can find it). Different styles of abodes will be offered (likely some that are larger with more open plans as some folks want that). There is a lot of chatter about LL adding to the continent sooner than they planned --- but I have yet to have someone point me (I asked specifically) to any official comment on that. Those of us that became premium on a yearly basis are actually only paying a little over a US dollar a month for our houses. Folks that are willing to keep trying are garnering plots for their efforts. Just like with many things, there are no guarantees. Each time new land areas are opened up there has been a rush (well, not sure about Zindra but certainly Horizons, Bay City and the OLD Linden Homes). Not news; this was to be expected.

Busy day. Good day with happily an ah-ha "done" moment at the end. I made an addition that fits outside the French doors. It will be a pottery studio. Somewhere towards the end I figure that this might work on the other two story house also as a "carport" type structure, so made a couple of changes so that it could. I will have my friend with that house test, and also another friend with one of the small houses. We'll see how versatile it is. I still have windows to make tomorrow. I am planning on multipane partially tip out windows, so kinda fancy. So far this is 5 li with long LODs and I am very happy with that. Medium gray metal roof since it is "A" flat and "B" we don't have matching roof textures LOL. Cozy. TO BED!!!

In a previous hunt LL sent folks to ADULT areas which was of course a bad plan. The "grab a drink" leads me to believe this is the same bar (or similar) that they sent folks to before. So if you don't have ADULT checked (or can't) that is likely the problem. Yes, it is unfair; and yes, we told them that before -- just in case that is the issue :D.

As stated in the Linden Home info each avatar can ONLY have ONE Linden Home. You cannot have both a home and a houseboat unless you use and alt and make that alt premium.

So I am seeing a TON of reports that The Lab is going to fill up both land and houseboat areas with more plots "like immediately". Also a lot of other reports that seem beyond far-fetched so will leave those out. I know the houseboats were scarfed up quickly but Patched warned folks to get in theirs early and not to leave their 512 house if availability looked iffy as they would lose that house. So that doesn't sound like they had PLANS to keep filling up the land. Granted that it is likely a very good idea to do so :D. Does someone have an official comment on this? All I have seen is various repetitions of the info and no source. Thanks.
