    I am freaking out, it i so many sales. Seraphimsl has a list, but it is not complete, and the huge amount of stores, I only heard about some of them.

    Stores like COCO is not on the list, but it's 50% off on many items in the store.

    Thank you for your help with the coat, I decided to buy the "rust" for myseld, the black and tan for my two alts.

    Do you like it?

    Edit: Scary enough, I think it looks more than the real me than the sl me. Well a younger me, but that face shape is very similar to what I saw in the mirror some years ago.

    Thank you, I just wrote the way the seller names the coats. S&P coat Sophie rust.

    I did not bother to push up graphics either, but I hope my mid setting without shadows was good enough to show the coats. I was checking out out where to go, or where to cam in when the sale starts.

    I'd usually go with black, but in this case I'd actually go for the grey, so that the fur collar doesn't blend too much with your hair.

    According to Matthew_Hopkins a sentence to the stake :D

    I would go with the left black one or tan - the dark browns are to similar to your dark red hair.

     

    Aha. Hmmm. The fur is almost the same in black, brown and tan. Unfortunately the grey is the one I had last on this 5 coat list. This is why the demo should have all the colors. I can't picture myself in the grey one... but contrast is nice. Thinking, thinking.

    .... what fits red hair and pale skin best? I want to just buy 1 coat, even if it's Black Friday, I have so much else to buy.

    From left to right: Black, grey, brown, tan and rust.

    The demo only comes in brown. But I kind of want tan or black. Maybe rust. Probably not grey.

    fs and wut?

    Okay, still can't log in, but here is a blog that show where to find the windlight settings fast and easy in Firestorm, in Quick Preferences. https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/2015/04/phototools-tips-for-the-firestorm-viewer/

    You can just drop the information about Phototools, first you find Nam's skin and prim, and uncheck  "Use region windlight" as the first picture shows. Clicking on the WL Sky gives you a looong list to scroll down.

    that sentence is all nosic to me as i have potato pc, but it copes with sl. and facelights are annoying as i took it while shopping.

    What viewer du you have? You can have an old computer and a fresh, light windlight setting. I have Firestorm, and the settings Elora mention is in it, it's just to choose one of them as your standard light setting.

    I also have the default Second life Viewer, Cool and Singularity installed on an old computer that I resurrected. I was testing if the rumor that Cool was so much smoother to run was right. I am not sure... but I made a light windlight setting fast, by choosing Blizzard and increase Scene Gamma to 2. I then saved it as New Blizzard and is using it when I run viewers with LL windlight only. All Viewers have Blizzard.

    awe.

    We will see. It is the face animations, expressions, for Simone that is so hard to replace. But when BoM is released, it will be a new and exiting time. :) So much more to wear of system skins and makeups.

    Sometimes a mesh top has a cleavage just a bit too deep, but it's no need to cover up to the neck.

    This dress is a bad example, because the cleavage isn't terribly deep. But you can see the edge of the black undershirt there. And it's not just black in the pack, but Aqua, Black, Blue, Green, Pink, Purple, Red & White. I must admit that I use only the white and black, but for 10L, it's a good buy. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Nerdosaurus-Tank-Top-Omega-Appliers/1524857

    I finally got winter gloves, yay. Worth every 50 L. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Blackburns-Short-Knit-Bento-Gloves-with-Applier/13449972

    But since the jacket is a tiny bit too long, it clipped into the gloves. I solved that with adding fur from another glove set: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/SD-Winter-Leather-Gloves-FAT-PACK-Maitreya-Appliers-Classic-Avatars/10065551

    Because the fur isn't fitted and can be moved and resized. It was a bit work with this since I must attach the fur to underarms, not hands.

    Jacket and top is secondhand gacha from Reign. Boots with stocking Reign Autumn boots, from their Black Friday sale. I adore that they are made for Mid feet, not the High ones, and that the heel is looking solid.

    and the applier jeans is 10 L and from https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Nerdosaurus-Skinny-Jeans-Omega-Appliers/2190509

    This. This this this this.

    Honestly, what's the point of a nice warm cosy jacket if you're wearing it wide open, with something not much more covering than a peignoir under it?????

    Psst: I got 2 of these applier turtleneck sweaters. and they save my neck from freezing. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/151626/search?utf8=✓&search[category_id]=3&search[maturity_level]=GMA&search[keywords]=turtleneck

    I will buy one more of them, I think.

    EDIT: It is BoM ready too, since it has system layers. LL promised us BoM this year....

    And maybe it's not too late to get the Hilly Haalan coat for 99 L as a Hello Tuesday offer. Some merchants let the offer sit out a bit longer. I like this because it's a normally big top inside, but I still wear a turtleneck from the Rhubarb pack under it. The included top does not have a neck collar. I choose to have the included top rose patterned, but it's a big hud for jacket parts, top and buttons, and you can turn off the top. I choose a simpler look and kept all jacket parts in the same texture. http://seraphimsl.com/2018/11/20/give-thanks-for-a-new-hello-tuesday/

    (I know. Technically it's advertising, but it's the first ever half-price offer on a male Catwa Bento head, and I wanted to bring it to the attention of the guys in here, and any of the ladies whose menfolk and/or alts might be interested.)   

    Has Catwa ever had a sale on a female Bento head? I had hoped for a Black Friday offer from Catwa or Lelutka.

    I will try a demo of Dude... it's very pretty, but you can make everything look pretty. Maybe one of my malts get a new head, but they all have Bento heads already.

    I'll see if I have time to post more looks in a few hours.

    It is Black Friday sales coming up, I got a tip about Reign Winter boots a few posts up here, and it's a 50% sale ending the 25th. I hope it's more stores coming, mainstoresl.com and seraphimsl.com is what I look at every day.

    Now I look for nice hair with berets, hats and whatever for winter.

    Between Marianne mentioning the Scarlett Creative Magicae house and Coby mentioning abandoned land up on the unfinished continent, I ended up with a new project.   I love the Magicae house, and have the majority of the rooms furnished.  The landscaping of the parcel has been a bigger task, and is still very much a work in progress (especially on the front side of the house where I've only put out a few trees).  I decided to put in some creeks and waterfalls this time, something I hadn't done before.  I also tried to work more with the existing contours of the land this time, rather than flattening the entire parcel. 

    So far, looking towards the back of the house:

    Pictures of the interior too?xD

    You got the Hive Kitchen? The Kitchen is really the heart in that house.

    Ok, so, probably stupid question: why have an "engine" that is separate at all? Why not just put the scripts directly into the bed?

    Or is the idea that the "engine" can be detached, and used for other beds?

    PrimPossible is very expensive, and their beds might not be everybodys style visually. I had one such engine from TNT, I think. Wonder if I still have it. You rez it over any bed, and it is transparent, so when you click on the bed, you really hit the engine.

    Taking down existing home/garden, remodel, how often do you do it?

    I think what you are looking for a lot of other people are too.  The trouble is we don’t always know what that is.   If you ever want to sketch a layout that would be your dream home and have a Pinterest of images you love, I would be happy to take a look.

     I already finished the walled in garden and took it down, and is placing a frosted pond there now. I change ideas all the time.

    I think I am weird, for moving to Mainland just so I could connect my driveway to the Linden roads. Isn't that odd? Renting on an Estate and making a fake road there,  wasn't an option.

    So I am very into garages now. Driveways, walkways, mudrooms, entries. I have no idea if garages is something others than me want.

    I would really like mirrored houses in SL. It is probably too much work? I am just a shopper, so I have no idea if Blender or other programs has a way to easy duplicate and mirror mesh. I had a thread about the problems I had before I sold my land in Innu. That metal rail that LL will not remove made me sell that land and move. I could not get the house to work because it was only one opening in the rail, out to the road. But a mirrored version of the house would fit. Maybe Estate residents would be interested in mirrored huses too. We all have that ugly spot we don't want the sunroom and terrace to face?

    I am so happy that there are many amazing houses to buy and decorate. It is a delicate balance between making the rooms too big or too small, because avatars are so different. And we have our own personal taste. I don't like cabins and cottages with only a big room. I want enclosed spaces for bathrooms and bedrooms, but kitchen/dining/living can be open. I think that kitchen/sunroom/open to the stairs in the Magick house is so perfect, it sold me the house. I would love to see that combination again in another house with just one set of stairs.

    I am not so good with finer nuances in English, I adore the designers in SL and if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't bother logging in.
