    This part of the forum is best to use for questions about Linden Homes.

    https://community.secondlife.com/forums/forum/357-linden-homes/

    I saw you already got a link to a thread about decorating.

    In that part of the forum, it is very common with ppl who never had a Linden Home before. It is more patience there, I think. It should be information inworld too, here:

    But I have not been to that location myself. I saw it in a thread.

     

    Thank you very much! And to all other helpful commenters! ❤️ Its been oddly hard to search for information.

    For others -- I did my due diligence, please stop roasting me.

    As much as I enjoy Bellisseria myself, it doesn't seem this is the ideal solution for the OP. Instead, I'd favor using the 2048 m² tier to buy a Mainland parcel, preferably with the group-creation approach @Persephone Emerald suggested above, both for the 10% group tier bonus* and the flexibility of buying/building and texturing any darn structure Your Imagination™ can concoct.

    The other option I'd personally consider is a 512 m² Bellisseria trailer for their funky charm and the amusing challenge of furnishing it creatively on that tight Land Impact budget, still leaving 1536 m² (as much as 1680 m² if group-owned) Mainland to play with.

    One thing you can't do (not that it would likely interest the OP) is combine multiple Linden Homes on the same Premium/_Plus account, so if the objective is to spend the whole 2048, it's either wait to see what 2048 Bellisseria options get revealed (almost surely at SL20B in just a few weeks) or buy Mainland, with or without one of the Belli homes on the side.

    _______________
     * so the 2048 m² can cover as much as 2240 m² total, because land comes in 16 m² quanta.

    Thank you, and to everyone else giving constructive information! I'm not just some lazy *****, I'm kind of cloistered and just .... lost and curious,

    The main difference between getting a 'soon to come' 2048 Linden home and mainland is that any mainland parcel needs to be purchased.  The plot itself is not free on mainland but you won't pay anything extra as long as the parcel is 2048 or less.   With the available Linden homes, you just choose which one you want and done.  There are, at present, 512 and 1024 Linden homes available which would leave the remaining land tier available to purchase a parcel on mainland.  As long as a Linden home PLUS any mainland owned does not exceed 2048 (premium plus allowance), there is no extra charge.

    So it sounds like you have the down payment but afterwards "rental" is free.

    @Alyxen your questions are so valid - I wish LL would update their website to be even clearer. They're barely mentioning the other Premium Plus perks available, such as owning a standalone homestead region without a full region first. It's unfortunate you have to dig around on the forum and rely on other users for the answers when LL could sell the product better.

    Aww, thank you, I was feeling crazy.

    For now until they finish the linden homes you can use 2048 worth of land space on mainland.. In other words, you can get  one  2048 lot or two 1024 lots or a few 512 lots and so on, which would be tier free.. You would still have to pay for the initial purchase of the land itself.. But you wouldn't have a weekly or monthly tier payment.. Not unless you went over the 2048..

    When they finish the linden homes, you would be able to get a 2048 linden home for no cost at all, other than the  membership fee.. But you would also be able to split that up if you wanted and  get a 1024 linden home or a 512 linden home and still be able to use the land allowed amount left over, to still get mainland..

    In other words, you can split things up..

     

    I don't actually care about the home as I am a sim designer, but it seems like a waste to not somehow use the 2048 allowance.

  6. I am sorry for my ignorance, but how do you find all these threads you are talking about? I tried google, I tried the forum search, they still do not come up with premium plus questions or answers. And as you can see by my name, I don't use the forums as much. Also the SL search for Bellsieria days it does not exist - edit, found it. "Bellisseria"

    all you ask is explained in several threads, but also to find in the community centers on Bellsieria.

    So ..
    the sign up bonus hass álways been paid after 45 days on all premiums, no exception here
    stipends are always paid on tuesdays, signing up after monday will start the first payment the week after on tuesday
    there are no 2048 sqm Linden homes yet ( if ever)
    you can use the included

    I realize there are multiple threads but, there was conflicting information, and it looks like there had been changes to the system.

    Thank you for your information. I did not realize the group interaction. I've only ever rented land from companies. From a different thread:

    • Remember that you are not billed based on a particular parcel, or parcels, of land.  Your monthly tier charge depends only on the maximum amount of mainland you hold during the billing cycle.  Getting rid of one 2048 parcel and gaining another 2048 parcel does not affect your tier for that month at all, nor do you "lose the benefit" of your land if you move during the billing cycle.  (This is unlike the situation where one wants to downgrade from Premium membership.  In that case, it IS a good idea to wait until near the end of the subscription period.)

    Groups get a 10% tier bonus.  Here are some examples, assuming only one Premium member in the group, who's paying the tier.  If other members are also premium and are donating tier, add 1,120 sq m. for each of them :

    • At the $7.00/mo. level, a group can own 2,240 sq. m.
    • At the $13.00/mo. level, a group can own 3,376 sq. m.
    • At the $22.00/mo. level, a group can own 5,632 sq. m.

  8. I haven't left my sim for years and... Oh boy. I fancy myself a researcher but the internet is a mess of conflicting answers and questions and blah. Thanks Google. Anyways....

    I bought Premium Plus because some wonderful people told me free uploads. And yay, woo, that is wonderful. But the page of pretty glittering stuff was what attracted me. Free 2048 land, 650L a week, 3kL? Sure I might as well. But after payment, crickets. Then I look harder, fine print - 3k comes in 45 days of consecutive P+... oh... okay I guess, could have had an asterix though to be fair. And I guess the 650 comes every Tuesday, counting the Tuesday after, does that include the time I spent now or should I have started Monday?

    The big thing is the land though? It isn't a house, which I can get, but that is not 2048? Google had lots of nothing to say and I might just be exhausted but the website is not exactly clear.

    Some of my favourite artworks from SL reference SL in some way. Just as examples I have a series that are classic paintings where the humans are replaced by Tinies eg the Nighthawks at the Diner redone with Tinies. Another artist did a cut out avatar with a woman twisted in a scream as she reaches to her bald head - obvious to the observer that her hair hasn't rezzed. Another by an Italian Artist with a framed scene being built with prims complete with cut out long haired male outside the frame arm raised with dotted line extending to a prim he is manipulating within the frame.

    Not suggesting you copy that exactly, I just think if you can make the art in some way refer to the SL experience it adds a smile and a bit of additional interest. 

    That sounds fun! I'm opening up portraiture and 3D art based off screen shots soon, a comical series sounds like a great thing to explore, thank you!

    This will be original hand-painted art for sale that you made?

    I occasionally visit galleries to buy pieces for my home. I can't tell you what's missing, as we seem to have a bit of everything around, but I'm a sucker for some fun pop art and haven't found too much of that yet (outside of the occasional furniture store). I don't mind if that's digital.

    On the other hand, I also love Surrealism, so that'd be welcome, too.

    All original (except historical examples that are CC0). Some original hand painted art, a few RL pieces, but the bulk is digital artwork from illustrator to photoshop, or other programs.

    I also have a bunch of mesh frames, but I am hesitant about them before the PBR update because they will get so much better after.

    I'm a little unclear on what you want to do here. Have you been collecting RL art images, and you want to display those? Are these your own works?

    Its my own work. I will have a few of the basic historical artists for informational examples, and then show my own explorations and remixes of each theme and style. I want it to be an infinite art museum. It will have a number of generative rooms and galleries to wander through and listen to the audio of the history of art, and the major artist of the style.

    But also, I need to sell the art to keep open, so knowing which styles to focus on for expanding the selections further is helpful.

    I also sell art on POD sites, so it could let people order any art or customs for clothing, furniture, or artwork in real life too.

  12. By artwork, I mean anything flat - however I specifically am looking for what kinds of painting style artworks are needed?

    I will be opening a large art museum that is going to display every form of painting, as well as text/audio descriptions of art styles and history.

    I have been working for years in every style trying to mix and match and explore - but that means I have over 6000 pieces of art to pick from and I cannot upload them all.

    *Edit for clarification: 6k+ of my own work... Lol why would I bother uploading random stuff? There might be 20 examples of the greats like Michelangelo for historical exhibits and discussion to show style origins.
