    Intermingled Themes in Regions

    in Linden Homes

    Posted

    I like the idea of a Traditional neighborhood morphing into a Victorian, as you walk along a street. Not necessarily interspersed, cause I love the Vic trees & foliage, & that might not work  in a Trad neighborhood.  Campers look quite natural for either style, on a hillside behind the houses.  Ditto houseboats when the houses are at the seaside.  I've seen lots of that mix already in SL, is that different than what you have in mind?

    like this? That camper truck was 112 prim and the two group joiner posts you cant see... I am assuming it still goes against the parcel prim allowance. The house  was sparsely decorated itself.

    I know most people disagree, but I find this utterly charming!  Autos parked outside houses, bins on the sidewalk, make the scene so realistic. it makes me smile.  They maybe should be there for a short time, & not in the way of people actually driving the street, but it really adds to the experience.  And I love your police car,  Tarina, I imagine you there to give them a ticket!   😁

    The stack that was there today were noted as bots by another Tiny Empires player. Some weird note in chat about one of them being the account of a player that had passed away too....

    The stack from yesterday - no one can actually confirm if an account is a bot or a player. As many bots don't register as they're required to... often even Lindens and Moles can't confirm it... but when I see a stack of people all piled on each other's heads while another stands next to them... that's pretty typical TE behavior.

    I know you want to paint them off as something innocent or alts looking for homes... but they're hiding under the water... not around lots like people do when using alts to get a home... some lack payment info which is a clear sign of not being premium... and they continually relocate to other water plots when approached.

    And as of today... they're showing up in stacks large enough to impact regions around them.

     

    I don't understand this....Issue? activity?  Is a bot different from an alt?  or is it some kind of attachment?  I remember years ago when I did SL, there were places a player could be paid for just staying in a club or store to boost its popularity, but that was an actual person.  Even with my alt, only one of "us" can be on at a time.

    and there it was, an immense building, much larger than the fishing shack I saw in Kelp Bottom.  This is a major structure and it's much too far from the southwest coast of Bellisseria to have simply drifted loose from its moorings and slid into the deep.

    I'm amazed & delighted by the creativity of the moles!  So whimsical to put these surprises at random hidden spots for people to find. That Pickle looks so mysterious & ominous--it suddenly reminded me of Charlie in Lost.  Maybe he's wandering around in there 🥴

    NCI used to have a 'Basic Builders Grid Texture' but when I went to look just now I couldn't find it. Not sure if it can be acquired for free anywhere. But if you rez a prim in the exact middle of your lot (always a whole number divisible by 4) and size it to one of those dimensions above - that's your place. Move that 2100m or something... and that's your new platform to make sure anything you rez will fit inside your place.

    At Skitz Isle, there are large platforms with grids that are good for building. It'd be easy to make the platform there, put it in inventory (like a Tardis lol) then take it above.  I'd need the trick of making your boundaries  extend vertically to make make sure not to go outside my plot.

    When did you last see a Bellessarian home available?

    I would love to see, as you see irl, a section of Victorians bordering an area of Traditionals, then further on, in sight of campers up a forested slope.  And on the opposite side, you see ocean with houseboats.  You could walk or cycle a route that would see a change in neighborhoods, what a realistic "feel"!  (but no Mainland haha)

    I wonder if all those gravity-defying sky floaties are deliberate?  I've been noticing an odd thing lately--sometimes when I rez a piece of furniture, it seems to fail, doesn't appear.  Then later, I would find it floating outside my house, completely outside the walls!  I had to let a neighbor know yesterday, she had a nice hutch hanging high above her camper, lol.  She had no idea, & found a few other stray (straying) pieces as well.

    I'd be unhappy if I could see mainland so clearly from my home tho  😞

    Problem upgrading an alt

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    Help! SL wont take my money lol.  I hope someone can clue me in re what I'm doing wrong.  I'm trying to make my alt premium & it keeps rejecting, just saying "There was a problem charging your payment method."  I'm using the same card I use for my main (Gina).  Can't find any explanation in the FAQ.  I've tried contacting support, but none of the  menu choices quite fit the problem.  Any suggestions?

    New furniture for Victorians?

    I just had a blast at Dysfunctionality, thank you Elyeah!  I got the sofa set and several other victorian pieces.  I wasn't going to buy anything new, but these were to perfect to pass up. I didn't even get all the things I was drooling over.  🤗

    What an eye opener!  I had no idea what a temp rezzer was before reading these comments.  But I think I may have one--I have a table I love, & was planning to use it in my Victorian. It has different food settings that you can choose, leave up or change at will.  Temp rezzer?

    Can I solve the problem (rather than delete it from inventory)  by making copies with each choice, then removing a script?  I'm sure glad it was discussed here, I had no idea 😯

    How to tell if something is temp rezzer?  I have a school of fish that might be

    I'm not sure what you mean, Lucille, by your distaste for an "abandoned" home.  Are you thinking its like a real life home, where there was a previous tenant, who left dings in the wall & dust bunnies behind the fridge?  That doesn't really apply to a virtual house that didn't suit someone's taste.  They are all clean & shiny each time you rez one.  No dust bunnies.  Maybe you just need to think about it a different way?  Instead of keeping the copy you tp into, rez a new one & its a completely new house, never touched by anyone before you.  If you like the neighborhood, you stay.  If it doesn't suit you, abandon & try again.  It usually is a slow process, but that can be fun.  Now that I'm (temporarily) settled, I miss the hunt, lol.

    Don't be discouraged or disappointed, make a game of it.   😉

    Haha,  never mind!  I see you did find your dream, congratulations.  Its a great spot, & I love the yellow you chose.

    There's a LOT of value in trying to catch one of each home type before settling, to get their house kits... sometimes you want to use something from this kit, and that house type... other times you have an idea for a product to sell... but you lack the kit with the texture for it...

    - So yeah... I think a lot of people are going to sit on a style temporarily for many different reasons.

     

    Excellent point. The flowers in the Vic content kit are amazing!  I still have lots to explore here 😛
