  1. I don't know what vendors that's using Casparvend or not, so I don't shop. I read about this 8 hours ago and if this was another Sunday, I would hit the weekend sales.
  2. It is more sand around the stilt homes than around the houseboats. Unless you talk about the big houseboat "islands" that are sand only. The palm trees around the stilt homes are new to the Bellisseria landscape, and other flowers growing from sand. I have not seen the moles change the landscape around a theme as they work with it, it stay mostly the same. So it is what it is. Maybe you will like the next theme better.
  3. You should start to follow Ryan Schults Second Life Steals, Deals and Freebies. https://ryanschultz.com/category/second-life-steals-deals-and-freebies/ She is up to date. You just missed a free anniversary mesh head that is 100% working, not a lower quality. BoM ready and Bento animated. You missed that one, but read back in that category and see if you find something you like. I have not been in Genus mainstore for a while, but if their free "Strong" head is up for grabs, get it. It is also BoM, just turn it on in the HUD. Neither of these was/is on the Marketplace. Edit to add: I will wait for Black Friday, and hope for some deals.
  4. I plan to stay longtime in a rental. I wonder if landlords have ever setup a way of receiving rent direct to an account outside SL? I do not like that rental box system. I think it would be easier for me, to pay by setting up a monthly transfer of money.
  5. Hmm. I pass on doing 50 li in a Stilt house.... I think. I love my clutter. You have a cleaner style with more air, and the Trompe house comes with fireplace and kitchen. The Stilt homes will be totally plain inside.
  6. You are sure that we don't pay VAT when we purchase §L? I know I pay VAT for tier, I only hope VAT is not tacked on purchase of §L.
  7. Oh, so that happened fast. And I who was going to take another alt back to Basic Tuesday. Well... Thinking. I think this goes so fast, because it is no edges to fix between the regions. The only places I see land continue in another region, is in the premade groups of 4 or 6 regions that makes shapes that are repeated.
  8. Yes, but the Stilts let us use 371 li, like other homes, and that goes a long way. I don't have any Bellisseria homes now. Even if I have another houses that are "done", I hesitate to tear them down because they are so big. So these small 50 li setups is like snack. I get a yummy morsel without pulling out all the cooking pots and utensils.
  9. HD brows. I am not going to use them, but am happy for those who pull their hair away from the face. I have problems enough with HD eyeshadow. Tell me where I can buy layer BoM eyemakeup for Evolution, I want to throw the HD eyemakeup away! I have had enough of alpha clashing, one of the major reasons I was welcoming BoM. Does the 2.5 head with different bones change the way eyemakeup look around the eyes? Can I use BoM for another brand like Genus now and have it look good? I have not bothered to get an update yet. If it helps me with BoM around the eyes, I am running over and update now.
  10. Linking can be a pain to change. But since this is 1-2 rooms, I don't feel it is very big sets. I had a set in one Winchester house that was kitchen, entrance, bedroom and bathroom. 😖 That was really stupid. If people start with linking 1 and 1 items together, instead of continue with 3, 4, 5 and up, it is easier to train with until it sits in the fingers. The best items to link is those who are one mesh part, or 2-3 mesh parts. To reverse a link set, I select and unlink the items that simple objects, if possible. What is left is the most complicated one. And linking items with small parts barely visible is a really bad idea. So... I got a cabin that has the fireplace included plus a bit clutter on the outside. We don't have to count it in? If a landlord placed out these cabins, I assume he would rent it out like this and not bother to change them. The rezzed out cabin with fireplace and stringlights etc is only 33 Li. This thread started as how to decorate a small rented space, so I pretend I am renting here, on my own land, lol. I treated the deck outdoors as a part of the living space, lazy days in the hammock or the chairs. This is why I added the palm and a heron dot the i. Revival Hammock 6 li*, Kazza encounter set 4 li*, Heron TLC 1 li, Palm Hayabusa 1 li, Kalopsia daybed 4 li, We’re closed rocking chair, 2 li, Soy one door fridge 5 li, Roost nautical prints 2 li, Gacha AF boat oars 2 li, 8f8 kitchen bench 3 li DRD Gardenhouse terrace table, 2 Unflat stuff rustic wall lantern + kettle + coffee grinder + table lantern , 2 Soy knotted hangling cloth, Malone dusty rug, Soy gas burner, floorplan boat rack, Apple Fall Pan rack = 18 li Total 48 li *Edited off 2 poles *Edited off plant, butterflies, shadow.
  11. So I decided to shorten the list a bit to save your eyes. Beginning with the fireplace wall, and working around the room. I can not say in detail how I have linked, since it is complicated, and goes criss - cross around the room. But I include a snapshot of the land impact. What is not registered in the snapshot, is the two no copy/ no mod items from Primpossible. I do not like such permissions, but I have to admit they are handy when every Li matter. The corner sofa is 1 Li and the combination tub – toilet – sink and mirror is 1 Li, bringing the total Li count up to 49. 1 wall: Floorplan Postcard Collection, Nove fireplace by EXmachina, leaning signs from Floorplan, Kazza botanical set bananaplant. Window side: Apple Fall Boston print, Apple Fall drafting table and chair, Meshworx grafitti woman lamp, Backbone rack with toys, Mithral industrial bar lamp, Mudhoney Roman blind, Stockholm&Lima:Traveler's Reprieve Bed. 3 wall: Bazar Seattle set: All posters, clothing rack, nightstand barrel, neon lamp. Wall with bath and sofa: Tile floor and brick wall made of a floor and wall I linked of a gift build from Apple Fall, Primpossible bathroom set, another Mithral industrial lamp, Primpossible corner sofa, Floorplan «The fossil elk» art, Kazza taioba pot, Apple Fall tribal print 1 & 2, Fancy decor Hampton rug, TBF wooden coffee table, Apple Fall wine bottle and glasses, Aluora single red rose, Primpossible sofa lamp, Bazar Toronto living room bookshelf. Just for fun (I have strange ideas about fun) I unlinked what I had linked. I have saved 12 Li on my linking. My math is terrible, and what I learnt in school have vanished. But 12 out of 50 is a big percentage. It also allowed me to bring in a bit of personality, like the toy rack from Backbone (6 Li)and the Meshworx lamp (3 Li). I have an imaginary person in mind when I make these 50 Li setups. Edited to add: The Mudhoney blinds have an alpha prim that control the different textures. When I have selected the texture I want, I unlink and delete it. It may sound like a small and unimportant object to get rid of, but if I should use blinds in many windows, it start to add up.
  12. It is fun to compare my styling to yours, because we are tackling this challenge totally different. Where I struggle to fit in every possible small knicknack, you go for a few items and open space. 👍
  13. I may take a look on that beach house. ❤️ You said it was Trompe Loeil?
  14. I will say the waist is not a problem. And the demo bodies react to the sliders when you go into appearance, so get a demo for yourself and work on it. My immediate thought is increase the body width, it is the #1 tab under appearance. Then go to the torso and take in the shoulders and increase love handles. I agree with the previous post that recommend Belleza Jake. I hesitate to recommend Legacy, but I admit that it is a very good body to work with. It is expensive and has a lot of triangles, so it can be hard on the system. Make sure your computers are up to date with graphics and storage. The skin is a problem, sice SL creators simply favor the V - line and abs. Pacing @Skell Daggerfor advice about this.
  15. Yes, if the head totally disappear. She is talking about "Turning on layer" I thought she means turning the head back from BoM to applier. Maybe that or she takes the head on again, as you think.
  16. I think it is your eyebrow shaper, if you have this problem.
  17. I can't list what I used yet, it is a linking nightmare. I can use this as an illustration why I often have issues with textures not loading properly. I link so much that I get almost the double of textures around me as others have. I did not bother to buy the Onsu skybox. I took out a freebie from Apple Fall instead. It is annoying because the baked highlights. I can not use shadows with it. And placing objects in the fake lights from windows looked just weird. But I soldier on.
  18. So call me a snob. I would not trust somebody to work for me who does not care about grammar and capital letters. This is an advertisement for work... You are supposed to entice me, so I hire you! Not bum a smoke from me.
  19. The challenge with linking, is to find your best buddies. Those items that are Li 0.1 or 0.2. Partner them up with the 1.3 Li objects, and maybe the 1.4 objects can be resized a tiny fraction down to 1.3? It is almost a "waste" to link two 0.1 objects with each other. I say almost, because we often don't have time to inspect every object we rez. But for such a small place and 50 Li, it is okay. Surprisingly often the linked object are registered as 1 even when it is 1.5. This also counts for higher Li objects that can "swallow" a 0.1 - 0.2 Li object and stay the original count. This clothing rack is a perfect example. It is 5.1 Li when rezzed. After I link all the 4 posters to it, it is 5.4 Li and still 5 Li. If I had rezzed out a clothing rack and the 4 posters as individual items, it would be a Li of 9. Linking the 4 posters together would let them count as 2 Li. That is better. But linking them to the clothes rack magick the Li count for all the posters away. Objects that don't play nice is those who has a linked shadow to them, so the server weight is 1 instead of 0.5. This is annoying bc at least half my decor has a shadow that's a part of the object and can't be removed. Some objects with shadows, some without.
  20. Reading the last posts, is it a misunderstanding here? The head model itself is in Lelutka store and named Skyler. But it will look different bc it has another skin on there. The Seth skin is created by Gac Akina, who had it in TMD September, and has most likely set it up in his store, Stray Dog. So TMD is out of the question for these two items. The free Logo mesh head is free until midnight Second Life/Pacific Time on November 6th, 2020. So it is still time to pick it up. The info about a free head can you ignore if money isn't an issue. Also be aware that the Logo head and the Lelutka head is different models. So this Seth skin will probably look bad on the free head. To get just the look in the image, you must buy the Lelutka head. For others who may read this, the free Logo head takes skins made for Catwa much better. It is a way to get your look together on a lower cost, if you can't afford a Lelutka head. You can see the whole Gac Akina store in his Flickr. https://www.flickr.com/photos/gac_akina/with/50308889646/
  21. I found where the skyboxes are, so I could inspect one of the new ones. It is Onsu ~ "Eggplant" Expandable Skybox ~ Base.
  22. I wrote up what I had in my first post, I was madly lucky with linking. I even put in a snow lantern next to the snowman, and still, only 45 Li. I let it stay up a bit. I decided to remove the link. Because I will let this skybox go, and the new happy person to take it, does not need to have people teleporting in.

  23. New in the first skybox, that I soon start to call the old one. Since I can't use spoilers, and have too few free images on Flickr, forgive me for this mammoth list.
