    Β My (UK) view of a 'trailer park' is of retired second homersΒ  , sipping their wine before taking an array of dogs for a wander round the specially designated pet trail, while discussing their pension investments with fellow members, then a quick swim or workout on the Nordic walking simulator in the leisure centre.

    Even tho I am in America, and my first thought when I hear "trailer park" is "tornado target" I am also familiar w/ what you describe. A friend, whose mom is like a second mom to me,Β  her mom is a snowbird (spends winter in a warmer climate, summers more north). She winters down in Arizona in a community like what you describe. With gas prices so high, she stopped about 16 years ago driving her camper back and forth in spring and autumn and now it stays down there. It's quite a large community of snowbirds from around the country and they all meet there every Autumn :)

    Well I guess he meant no harm but I was starteled and sort of terrified! I was just planting some flowers in my garden when I looked up and saw THIS!! You can imagine what that would mean in RL. It resemlbes a scene out of some horrorfilm (King Kong, Godzilla) and I thought "What would happen if he trampeled on my flowers ... or on ME??" I thought of just derendereing / muting him, then I thought better of it and took some photos (in case of AR to have a proof) then I decided to find it amusing and present it under "Oh look!" ;)

    But in general: how about the covenant? You are not supposed to build hedges or walls higher than 4m or anything higher than 12m (if I remember right) ... does it say anything about avatars? is there a maximum size?

    Startled me, too! LOL I had no idea that avatars could be that big when he said, "Want to see my large avatar?" I was expecting tall enough that I could walk through his legs like an archway (I'm pretty short as far as adult females in SL go). As to the cov, not sure. He didn't move around and wasn't in it very long before going back to his normal form.

    Land of the giants! That would be a good sight to see.Β 

    I've only ever come across one lady giant, similar to the one at SL16B. She however was nowhere as tall as Bentley.Β 

    I have never seen an avatar that tall! Very impressive.

    If Bentley is into β€œVore” RP, all the normal sized avatars may be his food.

    Bentley was very polite :) Although when I turned around and was staring at a toe, my first thought was, "My! What big feet you have!"

    ... and legs....

    ...and tail..please don't swing that, I couldn't handle that many region crossings...

    Somerhing to OH LOOK!

    Just now an avatar named Bentleywolves is stamping through New Hamsterdam.

    He is about as big as the Statue of Liberty!

    and now .... 5 Minutes later ... he's GONE!

    A discussion was going on in one of the groups about height. Bentley offered to show me his normal/small avatar and this one. Normal, I came to mid chest on him I think.

    This one....

    I had to fly up to 176m to clear the tips of his ears. (Take out about 20-30m for ground level to get his height, not in world atm, so can't tell you exactly what the Z for my backyard is.)

    He said that the statue at the fairgrounds comes to his knees.

    Thank for you those illustrative images. :)Β 

    Oh, LI can really shoot up dramatically, like you say, when you do the wrong conversion. :)Β And sometimes the system is just outright bugged. Take this infamous 1 LI teleport pad I have:

    And now watch LI shoot up to a whopping 179 (!) LI,Β  merely for enabling specular lighting on that white facing.

    That's quite the bug. 😜

    Wow!!

    I can't find my controller box on my houseboat. I was wondering about security for it. The only thing I have located on the wall is the house controller but there is nothing about security.Β Β Where do I find the content box with the security in it?

    For the houseboat it will be inn the life preserver on the dock. The one you use to change houseboat style.

  6. I would suggest just using a regular prim to make it so you can cap the end like you want.Β 

    I don't have an exact match for texture, but it comes close with a bit of stretching. If you want it, send me an IM in world and I will pass it along to you when I am back at my computer (afk atm getting dinner stuffs started)

    Yes! Personally, I feel very reluctant to tell others how to decorate their homes. But I did see delivery (buy?) boxes on the floor, next to each horse, which could be indicative ofΒ ''Activities and items that could be construed as commercial and for profit." (I was even able to identify the name of the breedable store; but I'm not in the habit of doxing ppl, even when to identify their SL names from images). The point simply is, if she's selling them out of her home, politely ask her to stop doing so. Or better, just AR it, and let Linden take a look.

    I am no where near an expert on breedables but aren't those boxes what they drop when they "give birth" so they aren't yet set for sale?

    eta ... I remember picking up boxes all over when I was de-seeding my dogs, and the brief time I had cats.

    yay!!Β  Imma close the blinds (it even LOOKS hot here) and turn down the air conditioner and pretend it's winter again!Β  Thank you all so much !

    Many years ago, in the dead of summer, my mom and I were watching the movie, The Day After Tomorrow. By the time the movie was done, we were both covered up w/ throw blankets LOL

  9. I have 3 de-seeded BB dogs (they don't breed anymore or consume food, but still require a food dish around them, which is annoying) that put out every couple days for a 24he period so they don't get sick. I don't leave them out all the time and I don't pull them out if the region is lagging. One, that's 43 prims I could be using for building or decorating... And two, I don't want to possibly lag out my neighbors because I know how much it sucks to be bogged down at home.

    Which a sand plot or the ones that seem back to front for me lolΒ 

    If I can see it on a PC I may be able to do some thing but until then my house will just sit, sorry to my neighbours lol

    Lol back to front.

    Right now, you'd just get frustrated if you have the same mailbox issue many are having. So don't think your neighbors will be looking too hard at your parcel ;)

    Is there a way to abandon via website? ... I got mine using my phone and it's not what I'm after so I dont want to keep it. I wont be by a PC for a few days and with lumiya I cant do much because I cant pull up parcel details...Β Β the orientation of the house is messed up.. the front of the house is facing the water and the entertainment side/decks are facing the road... makes no sense to have it that way ...

    After the porch add-on I made that was actually the one I hoped to get lol

  12. You can never please everyone, and there will be those upset no matter what method LL uses if it means they don't get one NOW.Β 

    I'm glad they're listening and willing to try smaller batches, but 1 region, I feel, is too small. And too rushed. How many support tickets went in tonight?Β 

    I think the next release style tried should be maybe 4 regions once a week with mailboxes tested prior.

  13. Haven't posted anything in a while, so thought I would post the Adams I have been working one before I rip it all up and start over lol

    I made a front porch for the Adams style home

    Β 

    Inside, I split up the 2 side rooms, on one side, I put a bedroom and bathroom

    1240773167_MontagAdams1.thumb.jpg.c018ac08815e3627f63fd96d32bf9a28.jpg

    On the other, I put the kitchen and dining, and in the middle, is where I had my living room/sitting room:

    There are actually many long time Premium members with homes

    Yup! Bellisseria is the new Shady Pines ;)

    (There is a thread on these forums about Bellisseria being more of a retirement community than "starter homes". This is a community many of us have longed for for many years.)
