  1. Well I do have breedable tigers wandering about...
  2. Hey all, I've finally relented and started the adventure that is building and creation in SL. I'm attempting to make a sign that will give a folder of various items to an avatar when he/she touches it. Now, I read a thread from 2010 explaining that prims cannot hold folders and that items must be dragged in minus the folder. The problem is, now if someone touches the prim I've made, they'll be bombarded with thirty-something items! Help!
  3. Apologies, apparently I did indeed lose my way I'm new to.. well, a lot of this...
  4. Aaaah that's really good to know, thank you!
  5. Ok so next question... I want to pop a skybox.. well, in the sky. But the land needs to support a LOT of prims. Now, I'm new to this land-buying, skyboxing malarchy and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction! At auction a piece of land will be advertised as 512m square and supports 117 prims. Is this a standard thing as I'm tping all over the place and although the land varies in shapes and sizes, the prims seem to be the same. Am I being daft? Also, a sneaky skybox question which may be super obvious - a skybox does eat land prims doesn't it? So if I wanted a store on the ground and my home in the clouds, the land prims would be shared between them right? Argh so confused! First I lose my chicken, then a bikini gets stuck in my house and now skyboxes have got me all confuzzled :/
  6. Hey all, Sorry if this thread is in completely the wrong place - I couldn't figure out where was best to start it. I hope there's someone out there who is somewhat familiar with Amaretto Breedables as I'm totally new to the brand. I recently stumbled across a 75L special Amaretto Barnyard Bird non-starter egg/offer/deal and was feeling thrifty so I bought it. When I got my egg back home, I popped it into an incubator and waited an hour. When I say 'waited' I actually mean 'clubbed the night away'. When I came back home to check on it, it was gone! Poof! As if it had never existed. I tried re rezzing the incubator, logged out of SL and back in again, checked Trash, Lost & Found, Objects.... I haven't contacted Amaretto because, well, has anyone else tried to use their website?! Any ideas?
  7. I'm a gamer too ^^ PC all the way though I'm afraid, I'm oldskool like that. Love Minecraft, COD and the Elder Scrolls series among other games. I'm always looking for gaming-related chat Don't be shy, PM me!
  8. It's an odd subject for me as I'm still fairly new to SL and didn't come here to network! But last night when one of my SL friends announced he was leaving SL forever, I suddenly felt I would miss him. It struck something in me and I began to wonder, have I been sucked in to the SL experience? Apparently I have. I realised that the time I spend in SL is with him and that's what makes it fun. It's not about the graphics, the user interface, the sims, the clothes (although they all certainly help), it's the people we interact with and the people we choose to left click and 'add friend'. I'll genuinely miss you my friend - you know who you are.
  9. /me dashes off to Crave.... Thank you for the tip - love those lucky chairs And yes, hopping on lucky chairs prolly does make me an eternal noob, but let's admit it - we all love presents
  10. Just lately I've been feeling the exact same thing. I realised it might be developing into an unhealthy issue just a week ago when I caught myself in the mirror and was mildly surprised my avatar wasn't looking back at me! I pondered this for a while and even took a step back from SL to try and figure out the psychology here. In RL, I'm not fugly but I'm certainly nothing special and I struggle to feel attractive at the best of times. However, my avatar seems to have developed into a sleek, sexy temptress over the months and when I really give it some thought, it makes sense that she looks how I want to look. She dresses how I would never dare dress in RL and she's cheeky and provocative in chat in a way that makes me squirm at the thought of being in RL. Having said all of that, she did help me to realise a few home-truths about myself. If this is the 'ideal me' then why not imitate it if I'm obviously not 100% happy with the way I am now? On that note, I've started wearing little skirts like my avatar and popping on more makeup when I go out, and I even flirt a bit more and it's actually boosted my confidence to the point where I pulled at the weekend I'm not gonna kiss and tell but I do have SL to thank for that! I think it's all in the way you look at it - you can look at your avatar and get upset that SL isn't RL, or you can swing it around and pop a little SL into your RL! Remember, men dig confidence for the best part, put a Barbie lookalike in front of them and most would turn it down
  11. Having finally shaken off my newbieness, I felt it may be valuable to all those who are still finding their way, to share some tips so you can feel at home a bit quicker! There's a lot of things I've learnt by chance so thought I'd pop these useful nuggets here rather than let newcomers flail in the same way I did when I first joined SL :) Firstly, when I came to SL I thought my avatar was rockin' and couldn't understand why no one really wanted me around. Finally, someone was kind enough to point out my skin was awful. By having a realistic skin on your avatar, you look like you know what you're doing, not to mention stylish :) I soon discovered awesome skins don't come cheap, but there are lovely people out there who will gladly give you a spare. If you see a skin you like on someone, just tell them! You never know, they may give you a copy! When it comes to outfits, lucky chairs are where it's at. For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, lucky chairs give away items for free! They display a letter and if your name begins with that letter, you can sit in the chair and claim the prize! I had to figure this out on my own so thought I'd include it :) Having an active AO also helps your avatar look super awesome. This animates your avatar, making it stand or move in a particular way. Most SLers are more than happy to share the ones they have, so don't be afraid to ask! The final thing that helped me shake my newbieness was knowing how to emote. This is when your chat is displayed in italics to describe an action. For example, 'Oryion giggled.' Just type '/me giggled' and it will display as 'your name' giggled. Easy! So at what point did other SLers shake off their newbie shackles? :D
  12. You could try Yayo... It's a bit alternative, shall we say, but worth a try! Good luck!
  13. I've been searching around for a shop that sells Kawaii fashion for girls and can't seem to find a place that fits the criteria! I just wondered if anyone knows of a good Kawaii shop?!
  14. I have to say in my short time in SL I've done nothing but trawl the Destination Guide looking for clubs that fit my criteria music wise, only to find that the people who hang out there are not my kind of people! I quickly realised there's a lot more to finding a great club than simply looking at what music they play. It's about the layout of the sim, popularity, whether they hold regular and interesting events, the friendliness of the people who hang out there and for me it's always nice to find a DJ who shouts out to clubbers and interacts with his/her punters. So, on that note, I found the perfect place - Club Infuzion! You can find it if you type it into the 'search' box and then teleport straight there. The manager regularly DJs and the staff are very welcoming whether you're a newbie or an experienced SLer. Plus the owner just revamped the place and has done an amazing job, might I add It's well worth checking out - as I said, it's not just about the music!
  15. Hmm... It's a tough one when there are so many beautiful and interactive locations! I'd have to say Neko Zone is the place I spend most of my hours, and Club Infuzion has become my home from home. It's recently been refurbished and is excellently laid out with a large dance floor, cozy corners with lavish seating and an amazing fishtank in the centre that gives the place a tranquil feel. Since my first visit, I can't stay away from the place - to the extent that I now work there as a dancer! The staff are so welcoming it's hard to leave!
  16. I haven't purchased anything and yet my balance has just suddenly become L$130 lighter. I checked my account statement and there's no record of the loss. How do I get my money back?
