Hi jerom

I am an avid builder myself, and I also tend to be alone a great deal. Socializing is really why I came to SL in the first place, so I would love to hang out some time. 

I was at Euphoria Falls just now, and I love your work. Let me know if you give a guided tour some time 🙂 

(Here's a thread I made the other day, to find other builder friends).

Hi Livi, thanks for reaching out! Great to connect. I am happy to give you a guided tour anytime! I read your post and totally agree, building can be lonely at times. Feel free to come to Euphoria falls anytime and if I am online we can catch up! I think we share similar feelings about the impact building has. For me it is such a wonderful connection to my imagination. I call it my therapy. Just as expensive as therapy sessions! hahaha. Also feel free to add me as a friend @juliettrose

I rented a homestead for 2 years.  Granted, the LI allowance is 5000 as opposed to 20000 for a full region but I managed to have a wonderfully landscaped region with several houses.  Most larger rental companies have homesteads available with basically the same Estate rights you have when you purchase a region directly from LL.  Terraforming, texturing, parcel access, etc.  

I think I would have a very hard time with 5000 Li... lol, I am almost up to my max of 20000! lol, but yes it is definitely a good plan B for me. Thanks for the suggestion!

It would be nice if Sl could recognize the creators for their contributions,almost like unpaid freelancers.They could have rules or requirements so their system wouldn't be abused.Right now you all pay and spend endless hours making the world what it is.I would contribute to a creators fund.I always say baby steps Juliett for conquering the shyness.It's funny once we grow up most of become very shy,maybe we are afraid of being judged,I don't know,I'm like that too.If I have a reason(work) I am just fine.I can talk,delegate,do whatever needs doing.Come in on a day off get really nervous,shaky.Makes no sense.Look at the young ones tho,no fear in approaching their peers,they are hungry for that new experience.Important to remember ***We all matter and we all belong*** Be  confident and brave you have a lot to offer.Beautiful day to you.

I love what you wrote... it would be so amazing if SL had programs like that but I just don't see it happening after all these years it sounds like that isn't on the forefront of their goals. I definitely have a fear of being judged, even just some of the comments on this thread are kind of mean spirited. People are so bold behind the keyboard and don't think that there is a real person behind the words/avatar. Either way, it's worth it because I met you and that feels really nice. I need to try harder in the game now to go out and explore and meet others. I wish everybody could just come to my region to meet! lol

So it's an advertisement/drop hints for sponsors thread? 🤔

I don't understand your comment? Are you saying that I am looking for advertisers? lol. I didn't even know that was a thing in SL.

The sale of land, either mainland or private estates, is one of the backbones of LL's income.   I'd love to own a private region but my budget doesn't allow it.  I'm sure a LOT of people would enjoy one as well but simply can't afford the expense on a LUXURY item.   I'd love a brand new car in RL but I certainly don't expect General Motors to just give me one because I can't afford the expense right now.

ETA:   Have you considered renting a homestead?   You can probably find one for around $100/month.  1/2 the price of owning your full region.

Thanks for the suggesting Rowan! Definitely more affordable for sure..!

That is unfortunate, I am sorry to hear this.Honestly an eye opener for me,and omg no brainer,the costs would be large.Really kind of sad,this world is filled with so many ppls beautiful dream creations and some will disappear because of the financial burden.Too bad there wasn't an artistic allowance or subsidy for the creators in this world.Without ppl like you,sl would lose all the beauty.😒

You are so right! I thought of the same thing more than once... even to the point where I tried to find some grants/subsidies. It takes time for people to even hear about it. Definitely a challenge in SL for sure. 😞 Unless you have a big company backing you up, lots of $, or promo from SL, it's so hard. I am also super shy, so meeting people in SL is difficult for me. Almost as hard as in real life! haha. I am not really the one to go out there and say hi, even posting this was difficult.

Hi Everybody, 

My name is JulettRose and although I have been part of Second Life since 2013, I haven't really spent enough time meeting others. The past few years I have been so interested in building and creating that I just don't go out and socialize. Now, I just feel lonely when I am online. 

I am still working on building my private region called Euphoria Falls. It is an adult private region with lots of exploration and activities for all with beautiful rentals. 

If anybody out there is interested in coming to say hi, I would love to meet new people. I am still building, so please be patient if I don't see you pop up right away, just send me a message! I could use some input on my region and of course it is always fun to meet new people.

You are doing an awesome job.What a beautiful place you have.I think you will have many visitors.😀

Thank you so much for your sweet note. To be honest, I am not sure how long I will be able to keep it up, it is so expensive! I will give it another month and see what happens.

Ooh! Being mostly Lion, I have had some nice caves. Are they for living in? Most caves in SL aren't really big enough to "explore"! 

Hi! The cave is huge and there are two dungeon rooms to live in (not 100% finished yet but almost), come check it out!

Would love to come check out your sim! I myself have just recently come back to SL about a month ago now, maybe even two. Currently working on my business as well while logged in, and always in search of new friends to grow the old friends list. As well as bounce ideas off one another. I am extremely well versed with Textures, SLS Scripting, and Image editing if you happen to need any assistance, however, from the looks of it you have a very nicely laid out sim. Hope we can chat some more soon in game

Awesome! Yes please come say hi and it's always nice to connect with somebody who has texture and scripting skills... I don't do either of those so thanks for reaching out!

sorry if i ask, but seeing the tags, your building, activities and rentals  it sounds to me a bit as advertising for traffic ?

really? the tags represent my interests and what is going on in my sim world. What tags would you suggest to attract new friends interested in similar things?

[Question about renting land - Group Rezzing]

Markham, thank you SO MUCH! everybody has been so helpful, this forum is amazing. I think I know what I need to do now. Make my group private and get a bot to invite the renters. I don't think I want to sell the land, renting is where I am heading. I have come so far with the design and implementation of the private island - I know people will enjoy it, I just need to make it so that it pays for itself! 

I really appreciate you taking the time to write that. The casperlet wiki is great but I find that it assumes that you already know so much. As a person who is new, you don't have that experience of having done it before so it is hard to test and figure out. I ended up creating a second avatar to try renting the property and see what happens which has been helpful. 

Thanks again, your post was super helpful! 

[Question about renting land - Group Rezzing]

 

Thanks RoxyCyn, that makes sense to me. I understand the limitations now and the need to manually manage the roles of the group members. Too bad there wasn't a way that only official renters could be added to the group role with rez capabilities automatically. It may be easier to just keep the main everyone role as rez and then check to make sure things aren't crazy, instead of people waiting to be added to the new role manually. Sometimes I take little breaks from SL due to my RL getting busy. I am sure most people renting from me would be respectful of the vibe of the island. I guess time will tell - I love creating atmospheres and environments but could do without this part - unfortunately without some money coming in I can't keep it going! SL is always such a learning journey! Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it. 

[Question about renting land - Group Rezzing]

Prokofy thanks for your post: to answer your question it is a private island not on the mainland. What is your open source called? Maybe I should check it out. Can you explain what you meant by "To avoid having tenants queue up waiting for me to come online, I have join the group on demand and immediately get rez rights and set home rights to start building." Do you mean you just have a link to join the public group? If so, then can't anybody just join and start rezzing? 

Does a bot really use up that much space and script time? 

RoxyCyn: I am starting to understand the different roles now and think that could be a good solution, but when people join the group, do they pick their own roles or do I have to go in and set them for each member? I see the default is Everyone - so lets say I set up a new role for Residents - am I leaving it up to the "resident" to pick their role or do I have to go in and add that member to the resident role. 

Thanks again for helping me! I am so appreciative. 

[Question about renting land - Group Rezzing]

Thank you all so much for your helpful replies. A few questions still... if I set up a new role in the group specific to residents how are the active renters added to that role? Does it need to be done manually? Does the group then need to be private? I am not always on every day, so it would be hard for those who have to wait to be added to that role in the group... or do I need to get a bot to do that automatically? Will bots add tenants to specific group roles once they have paid? 

Also - I don't see how CasperLet can do ownership-transfer, there are no instructions on that in their wiki. It is all about renting... I didn't even know there was a Caspertech user support group, but it sounds like that is where I need to ask some of these questions. I haven't had much luck hearing back from them directly with my questions. 

I like the idea of selling the parcels, but I have created a mood on the region, I would hate for somebody to come in and put up something that blocks the views or ruins the vibe. I like that they can control the music, but I see there is an option for that in the group roles also. And I am not too worried about counting prims, like Sylvia mentioned the come with prim counters and also your can set the prim allowances in the back end of the rental. 

Setting up the rentals has been so tough for me I almost gave up! But I have come so far with designing my island... I need to figure it out. I wish I could just pay somebody to do this part for me! 

 

[Question about renting land - Group Rezzing]

Hi there, 

I am really struggling getting the answer I need and thought maybe somebody can help me with more experience!

I own a region. I have divided some areas into parcels. I am using the CasperLet renting system. The instructions say to create a group, deed the group to the parcel so thatonly members of the group can rent the land. 

I have done all this, however I noticed that all members of the group can rez anywhere. How do I make it so that only renters can rez on their rented land and not all the members of the group? 

What's the point of setting up the group if anybody in the group can rez anywhere? And I thought about removing object entry from group and everybody but then nobody can rez - AND the instructions from CasperLet say to check group only. 

I must be missing something basic here in my understanding but can't seem to find the answers anywhere. Even the CasperLet wiki says you need a group, deed the group, but that is pretty much it. I don't see any instructions about how to set it up so only the renters can rez. I did send them an IT ticket but haven't heard back and it has been almost a week. 

Thanks in advance to anybody who can help me!
