My cats would never eat me! That would be far too much work for such fat, lazy, pampered kitties when they could just have tuna from the can

And finally, my other back patio that branches off the master bedroom! This has become my favorite new hangout space! With a little derendering, it has a great view of the water and the docks, which I love ❤️ I can even see the Bellisseria Fairgrounds from here!

The back of the house with a little sitting area and Blush's pergola addon: And my little hammock spot! I was so glad I managed to keep my hammock; I wasn't sure I'd have the LI for it, but I made it work!

I'm working on an extension for the back of the house to add a living room, master bedroom, and master bath. It's not quite finished yet, as evident by the lack of doors, but I couldn't wait to decorate it Some shots of my new living room and bedroom:

The room to the right of the entryway became my kitchen and dining room:

I finally (more or less) finished decorating my new home in Cape Lively, and I love it! Front porch: Entryway: I wasn't sure what to do with this space, so it became de facto cat room I turned the room to the left into an office space with reading nook and gaming station:

Yes, animal adoption rp is actually quite common among animal avatar roleplayers, and among family roleplayers. Many of the child adoption centers where children can find parents and siblings also offer a pet section for animals to find owners, and a few animal-specific adoption centers, kennels, veterinary offices, etc have also popped up over the years to cater to animal roleplayers and their families. More often than not, these kinds of services are not a for-profit venture. They're run by kind souls who simply enjoy interacting with animal avatars

I actually think this is the calmest thread on the forums right now... 😂 We all understand that this new feature (which they obviously didn't have adequate time to stress test) will have some problems. It helps to share experiences to help each other figure out what works and what doesn't, as well as to let linden lab know about the problems we're seeing on our end when things don't go as planned!

I thought you were literally suggesting "The Wilds" as a home theme! Jungles, treehouses, Swiss Family Robinson... I was on board!

I didn't have problems getting back to the page, as Kayden did. I can get back just fine by clicking the link provided, but seem to be reaching the limit again about 2-3 refreshes in, at 1 minute per. This time I tried waiting over a minute after reopening the page before starting the refresher (though if that was the problem, it should have only kicked in at the 9th refresh, but hey, bug testing!) The next time I hit it I'll try closing the page entirely and see if that makes a difference

I very much hope they're not doing this by IP address. Tracking by account would be far more reliable

Am I the only one who keeps seeing this message, despite having set my refresh to 1 minute as requested? I even tried waiting 10 minutes and starting fresh, in case it was somehow rolling over refresh count from the previous 10 minute period, but I continue to see this page after a refresh or two

Next week's regions have been named! What makes Penitent Beach so Penitent? Maybe it needs a hug.

I don't think it's entirely fair to be upset with creators for not taking the time to personally teach you. As kira said, there are many resources out there to help you get started, and those resources are put out there by people who have the time and desire to teach, which may not be true of every Joe Artist. It's an extremely time-intensive, long term project to mentor another individual in a new skill, which is not necessarily a service every creator has the time or energy to provide for everyone who asks - especially at no real benefit to themselves, since (in my personal experience) most of those who ask for that kind of guidance are not particularly willing to pay for their mentor's time. I find that when someone approaches me with a general attitude of "teach me how to do everything", that even if I did have the desire to teach them it's simply impossible to know where to start, or where to end for that matter. It is a promise of a bottomless investment of my time - writing an empty check so to speak - and therefore my answer is nearly always "no". But when someone approaches me with a single question needing to solve a single problem, I am far more likely to provide the answer if I know it, or even to go digging in their blend file until I can find it and explain how I've done so. If it is evident to me that the person asking the question has researched the problem on their own and has tried multiple solutions to fix it, that goes a long way with me: not just because the person has shown initiative, but also because it reduces the likelihood that I will need to devote the next four hours of my workday to explaining my solution, then explaining the explanation, then explaining the explanation of the explanation, and so on. In researching and trying things on your own, you build up a base level of familiarity with the problem such that when I respond that the square root of nine is three, your response is "oh I get it now!" instead of "what's a number?" Or, to put it another way, it's like the equivalent of asking "How do you say 'book' in French?" instead of asking "How do you speak French?"

You taught me a thing! I didn't realize that changing textures or transparency on a prim would cause it to export with multiple material faces, and I've already re-exported part of the add-on I'm currently working on using that trick, which makes my life so much easier in cleaning up the mesh. I am therefore absolutely thrilled to be able to teach you a thing too! If you hit space in blender (with your mouse over the 3d window) and type in "quad", you will see an option to turn tris into quads. This will work best is your sl build is all snapped to straight lines on the grid, not at angles. Then, in edit mode, you can hold alt and right click an edge to select the whole edge loop, then hit x and "edge loops" to remove that whole edge loop. That'll help you get that poly count down

So you're the one with the go button! No wonder Beth is sweet on you

Señor Jalepeño; El Jalapeño Guapo~~!

There have been four sims released since the announcement on monday: one on monday, one on wednesday, and two on friday. Part of the announcement said that they would not be announcing each individual release. I recommend watching in the Bellisseria Citizens and Bellisseria Community group in world, as well as visiting the in-development regions yourself in world

Ooh! I'm sure this is old news for some, but it looks like they've finally connected sims down to the top of the lake! Or the "Bay of Fourze" as we're apparently calling it now... or the eye of Terminator Conan as I will forever call it

I actually think the people who are using their alts to try to find a better location are making it easier, not harder, for other people to get a home. Without those people, there likely would not be the day to day turnover that we see now, where 5 or 6 or 7 homes a day will pop up on autorefreshers at all hours of the day. I know that those random, daily abandoned homes have been a great help for those unable to be online during linden labs working hours. I've seen many users in the bellisserian groups get their first bellisserian homes that way

Mystery solved: it's a Squishy Pickle shack!

Ah yes, Beaver, from the well known Beaver contractors of the Spruce Department of Civil Projects

So it looks like both Jamesborough and Gallaudet were released today. Perhaps one sim a day was more of an estimate?

Also: I really love the name Racoon Run. I'm digging these critter names for regions. More critters, please ❤️
