A bit sad if this new Prima body means the Tonics are being discontinued. Tonic Fine is my favourite body for a slender look; it's a smaller butt than I can get with Maitreya or Atenea, it's good value for money and even nowadays I find the Omega compatibility useful (mainly for manicures). There's not enough clothing specifically for it for me to be able to manage without alpha cuts, though.
(Also, last time I upgraded an Atenea alt to BOM it had gone up to L$250, even if you bought the version without the foot mod. That's inflation for you, though still a good deal.)

There is a certain massive community on SL that will flock to modifiable bodies and body parts. I forget the name, something starting with F I think, but they generally only choose no mod stuff if there aren't any options...
It's at the very least a very easy to way to guarantee extra sales.
How large a proportion of the market are they, though, and how willing to pony up for a brand new body that a) probably isn't aimed at them and b) probably costs a lot more than the body they're already using and have put time, money and effort into customising to fit their specific needs?

What I would expect to happen with the Trads is open-plan layouts and picking your own internal paint colours; I'd prefer it if they kept the doors and skirting white since I'm not in love with the woodwork on the most recent themes, but wouldn't surprise me hugely if they switched that out too.
My prediction is that the ranch/farm theme will have a 1024-sized house and a huge yard, allowing them to also do a 1024 version, but millionaire mansions are supposed to be minimal and uncluttered so will be enormous.

I'm going to go ahead and predict an unveiling in December and launch in April to coincide with the anniversary. Two new themes: ranches/farms and Selling Sunset, to be followed by castles in time for Halloween.
(The first sentence is serious, the second is not. Well, not entirely.)

Blueberry do enough group-only gift card giveaways for the L$20 to be worth it even if you're not keen on the current freebies, IMO.
I spend very little on clothing: the alts mostly stock up when Blueberry/Addams/Bumblebee/Vision/Tachinni give away gift cards at Shop and Hops. I've kitted out a couple with the Scandalize freebies. When Petit Mort and Oubliette do a hunt my main will pick up a couple of items for L$10/L$20, and she's a Belle Epoque group member so she gets those gifts too.
Here's a snapshot of her 'last days of summer' outfit:
top: Blueberry freebie, layered over some ancient BoM thing
cardigan & necklace: Addams (giftcard)
skirt & boots: Bumblebee (boots were bought with giftcard but I think the skirt may have been lucky board)
shoulder bag (just seen): Aleutia, can't remember if that was a freebie or giftcard
AK group gift head, 7DS skin & super-old hair from Magika which I definitely got in a sale. The only thing I paid full whack for would be the ears.

I bought that resin table only to stumble upon a L$1, 3li version on MP (entirely by accident; I was looking for a printer). No fish in the marketplace one, though.

This 4 LI linen cabinet is on sale at Dust Bunny this weekend for $50 per color; color-change option for the tassel.
When I went to pick this up I found that Dust Bunny are having a big sale; all yellow-tagged items are L$50. Lots of plants (including fatpacks!)

The flexibility lies precisely in the absence of hard and fast rules. If you encroach on Linden land with purely decorative 'splashy rocks' that don't impede access or mark the land as yours, then they might well let it be. But if you make it a policy to allow splashy rocks and ban everything else, we then have to have an ironclad definition of what counts as a splashy rock and what doesn't, which will then be challenged by people who think their circling seagulls fall within the same category, and people who think their phantom pier does not constitute an obstruction, and therefore those calls are probably better made on a case-by-case basis.

If all anyone wants to put in the weekend sales throughout September/October is Halloween stuff that's fine by me. I'll have more money to spare when Black Friday rolls around.

SSP?
in Linden Homes
14 minutes ago, SarahKB7 Koskinen said:Question. Imagine a continent edge region like Khan (for example) becomes abandoned and then goes into the Maintenance group, LL would then restore Khan back with its default terrain and water settings.
Would they also then automatically add in missing protected boat channel(s) where none existed before, before releasing the region back to market for sale and purchase?
They're under no obligation to do so, and stand to make more profit by selling off all the land (and water). That's why the coastlines are a mess in the first place. Would they consider doing what you're asking? Of course, and my guess is they would go ahead with it, but there's nothing 'automatic' about it.

You will always be able to get a Bellisserian home of some sort, though you may have to refresh the selection page multiple times if there's a specific theme you want.

Also Firestorm. I have an alt on PP+ for a month so I'm using the free texture uploads to populate everyone's outfit gallery. But before that I studiously ignored that tab for years because I didn't want to pay to upload the images and it hadn't occurred to me to test whether I could use local textures. (Could I? No idea, but I've not had much luck with local textures persisting between logins so probably not.)

I do think the discounted rate should have ran for a month
It ran for around six weeks (last week of June through the first week of August). I imagine they wanted to maximise sales within the first month to make it look more successful and impress the higher-ups; an indefinite discount would stagger those sales over a longer period in a much less exciting way, even if it led to more profit in the long term.
Of course you will also get a discount based upon how long your existing premium subscription has left to run, though that too will be less that it would have been if you'd been around at launch. Unfortunately this is just a hazard of being offline for extended periods. It's not unusual for inworld sales or promotions to last a week or less, so most residents wouldn't consider a six-week offer unduly short.

My son having schizphrenia through no fault of his own, no drugs, no drink, no silly social fads.
If your son had tried to self-medicate with drugs or alcohol like the OP, his schizophrenia would still not have been his fault. Nor would it have been his fault if he had made the mistake of trying to confide in you about any anxiety or depression he was experiencing. It's genetic. Not anyone's fault.
I'm sorry about your pension fund, but I'm sorrier for your son.

It's not my job to prevent people from doing it again
Unfortunately, it would appear that it is. I can't see governance introducing any kind of feedback on AR's, as the current system of sending them into the void handily avoids customers raising extra complaints about the time it is taking to deal with their complaint.
It works both ways: if they can't be bothered to tell you that your AR is not going to be acted upon, there is nothing to stop you making the same report again. And again. And again.

Really? You have evidence? I doubt it. As Linden Homes have been around for 3 years, this could have happened over the last 3 years. Anyone seen this happen?
Bellisseria is massive. I certainly haven't inspected every house in it, so I can't see how you can prove that this has never happened, any more than the OP can prove it has. I've mentioned elsewhere how I once saw and reported a rental box in a Victorian, and it seems unlikely that I just happened to stumble upon the only attempt at subletting that has occurred over the course of three years.
(I'm also not sure why you think advertising is a prerequisite; who's going to risk that when they can just put the word out among their friends?)
But yeah, this is offtopic. Suffice it to say, I hope they don't enable PP+ subscribers to claim parcels instantly, because this will only lead to other people pestering residents to abandon their coastal Victorians; not to mention the complaints next time a new theme launches and the rest of us can't get a sniff of it because the PP+ people are all standing on the new parcels passing them around between themselves.

I don't believe the Premium Plus perk of being able to request being assigned an unclaimed parcel location was ever intended for the purpose the OP is describing: i.e the trading of a specific Linden Home parcel between two residents.
Of course it wasn't, but anyone familiar with Game of Homes could have predicted that people were going to try and use it in that way.

I actually went and purchased a decade old set of tank tops I had on my original avatar. They're inexpensive and great for layer underneath mesh items. Older leggings/jeans are also great for layering.
I mean, yeah, I wear BOM layers all the time; but I'm not going to recommend that to anyone who isn't going to combine them with mesh, or hasn't figured out how to use the Maitreya add-ons to make them look less painted-on, or doesn't yet have the experience to distinguish between nicely-textured vintage stuff and the kind of thing you get at Freebie Galaxy. It just adds another level of confusion.
Here is a free mesh rainbow bikini from one of SL's most popular shops. If you don't have much to spend, you're much better off keeping an eye on freebie blogs like FabFree for inworld deals than trawling through marketplace.

You want helpful? Avoid anything advertised as 'flexi' or 'sculpted'. If it looks like crap in the ad it will probably look even worse on you. Oh, and don't buy decade-old marketplace dollarbies, but you probably figured that out by now.

Given that, historically, people have been kinda obsessed with snagging coastal Victorians, LL should really have been able to foresee that some customers would expect their extra money to buy them a coastal Victorian and implemented a procedure to deal with that, whether it's putting somebody on full-time LH concierge duty or making the limitations of the feature clearer when people sign up. You can't expect everyone to go digging through transcripts and forums to find out that the perk doesn't actually work as advertised:
5 hours ago, Elena Core said:Premium Plus members can request a specific Linden Home, as long as the home is not occupied and they do not currently have another Linden Home. To do so, Premium Plus members can request a Linden Home by submitting a support ticket (click Submit A Ticket on the top right of this page!) and choose the Issue Type of Land & Region with the subtype of Linden Homes.
Nothing there about how it has to be in an unreleased region, just that it has to be unoccupied (which it is! as soon as your friend releases it!) Anyone who reads this subforum knows that a desirable house isn't going to hang around long enough for a Linden to take it out of the queue and reassign it; but, again, that's not going to be obvious to everyone.

Bellisseria is a residential area and the roads can get quite twisty in some themes; it's not best suited to road haulage, and residents tend not to stay in one location long enough to set up their own hubs.
You can still play GTFO on the waterways, or alternatively get yourself a dumper truck and empty some bins.

How to report sex ag* play

I'm assuming they were using adult furniture in the shop? Because that's pretty much the only thing that would be AR'able. Even if they're saying adult stuff in local chat, they've stated in their profile that they're not roleplaying as a child and are 18+ IRL. There is nothing in the ToS to state that you need to speak in a manner in keeping with your avatar appearance, or we wouldn't have any talking cats.
(And if they're stupid enough to get jiggy in shops they've probably been reported multiple times already.)
