Block them?

I don't know Mandy. It took me about six months working on and off to get the look that I have and that I've come to like. I once tried to help a new person buy something from the marketplace and unpack it and set it out on her land and she wasn't willing to even look at tutorials. That took me two hours since she had no clue what I was asking her to do. I finally got so frustrated that she wasn't willing to put in some work that I just told her that she needed to find someone else to help her. It wouldn't have mattered if I did it for free or she had paid me 20,000L. It was still frustrating.

But she isn't willing to learn HOW to do it. She wants to pay someone to explain it all to her. I would say maybe post this in the employment section and see if you come up with someone willing to do this.

Try this: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/AMI-What-is-she-wearing-HUD-What-is-he-wearing-HUD/19852056 To be honest I think you are underestimating the time it will actually take to help you do this with your unwillingness to do any research or try to understand how things work. There as tons of youtube videos and tutorials on how to put together an avatar right down to the tiny details. Do you know what you want? Your definition of absolutely beautiful looking female avatars and theirs might be vastly different. You are not only asking someone to put together a look for you but to take the time to educate you on the best shops and then walk you through how do it step by step with you having no idea what they are talking about. That could take many, many hours. It would be nice if someone could just put together an avatar and then hand it to you but it doesn't work like that.

Now here is an idea that bears looking at. I think this is a great idea! or maybe have a 1, 2, 3..etc year avatar sticker you could put on your profile or in your username.

You are being facetious right? What benefits does LL have to you logging in every day? Why would they give you free things in return for...nothing? This idea is already implemented anyway. You purchase a premium membership and you get a free house, weekly stipend and a premium gift each quarter along with priority support and more groups to sign up for. So you log in enough to collect your free mesh head. Someone had to make this head so will LL be paying the creator for the ability to give away the item for each person? There is already so much free stuff in SL what more of an incentive do you need to log in every day? You could literally log in every day for the next 10 years and get a free item every day without any help from LL. The reason why it works in the games you are talking about is that the end result is they want you to get hooked enough to actually spend money. You couldn't possibly advance in the game fast enough for most people by just getting the free items and that's what they are hoping for. Your numbers are unrealistic anyway. I would say maybe you could get free mesh head after logging on for a year. As far as getting a day with a Linden? Are the moles going to be paid overtime for having to spend a day with a random person that doesn't even have enough invested in the game to get a premium membership? What would you do all day? What would you talk about?

I was able to get it with my main avatar who is premium. Unfortunately I'm not really looking to change her so I was hoping to get it for my alt. I was never able to get in. I tried for hours at all different times.

What is a pose HUD and is it for sale on the MP?

Sylvia, you make it sound like I'm some "Diva" LOL. No, I didn't expect there to be a separate access panel for each item. It just seemed logical to me. I really don't care where the access panel is. All I wanted to do was find it...which I did.

I realize that. There also the menu for the door which you can choose to have them automatically open or close. That is where I expected to see the access for the doors.

Oh yes, I was thinking multi-scene houses.

Maybe try removing the one there first? If not then you'll probably need to submit a support ticket.

Yet....she did answer your question and didn't ignore it. She was responding to the ridiculous commentary of how great your computer and internet speed is yet you can't seem to load anything and giving you ideas on what to do to improve it. *smile added*

Could you be any ruder? Normally when asking for help on a forum one tries to act in a mature way...guess you missed that memo.

This is an excellent idea..for Roleplay purposes. I would expect though that these items would cost more, not less due to the scripting that would be involved. Why not script an item into multiple payments? For instance you purchase a clothing item that costs 500L. You initially pay 100L down "financing" the remaining 400L. In order to wear the dress again you have to make a payment, say 100L. If you don't make the payment then the dress is "repossessed" and disappears from your inventory. The person can then decide whether or not the item was worth making a payment for it or if they want to get rid of it, which means they essentially "rented" the item for a time period. If they didn't pay they would not be able to purchase the item again unless they paid full price for it. *I am not a scripter so I'm not even sure if something like this could be done or would be allowed*

This is where I think I got confused. It isn't logical to me that giving only certain people access to opening doors and windows would also give them additional access to the control panel. That's why I was looking at the door menu rather than the access menu. That's is also why I was looking in the security orb as well. So to give access to just certain people to use the doors and windows you have to use both the access panel in the house AND the security orb. Set the access in the house to anyone without adding them to the access list but put them in the white list in your security orb. It makes sense...it's just not intuitive. You'd expect the access to the doors and windows would be in the door menu.

and here I was blaming Microsoft.....

yes, I also found tons on the MP for 1L. Just getting into the photography so I hadn't looked at poses before. I was excited I found something I think I actually might be good at! LOL

Thank you so much Rowan! That was exactly the place I was thinking of. Edit: no poses though...darn

There used to be a photography sim where they had different scenes set up to take photos such as a beach theme and various scenes in boxes. I can't seem to find it now so I wonder if it's closed. Is there a region out there that has scenes and poses already built in other than the standard sit ones in furniture? I don't take enough photos to buy them but would like to put more variety in the ones I do take. Any recommendations welcome.

So basically you are looking mainly for people to discuss all things shopping, yet you don't really want them to shop with you but you'd be happy to help them shop? I have no clue what a "Barbie mansion is but it's adult so I assume that there are adult things that go on there. Have you tried to meet people at these places? Sometimes it is easier to meet people at the place you like to go to rather than try to get people to join you. Join the shopping groups and chat it up if they allow that. I know that that LAQ group can get chatty sometimes and there are nice people in that group. I'm a bit curious why it matters that the person be mostly human if it is only a friendship. Do you not like to look at avatars that are not human? If it's friendship only what does it matter really what they look like? When you say your timezone is that Aussie time or SLT time? Lastly..if they are homebodies you might have a hard time getting them to mingle as typically people like that tend to want to, well stay at home.

Thank you! I have no idea why I couldn't figure it out! lol

I can't seem to add my alt to my linden home as an estate manager or even as someone that is always allowed. They can't operate the doors or "set home to here" I tried to use the security hud and add them to both access list but that doesn't work either. Even people I add through the security hub to allow the to visit can't operate the doors. Hopefully that isn't the way it's set up because it's becoming an irritating feature to have to continually open doors for people especially since you can't TP around the house anymore. I also tried to set the access to group to no avail. If someone could walk me through being able to allow my alts to access doors and also to set home to my linden house I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Interesting...I had no idea this "kink" existed. Where might one find where these people tend to hang out? Asking for a friend.
