[Second Life Marketplace + I can't buy free things for L$0 ? +]

I have never been able to buy anything from Marketplace for 0 Lindens.

I have been in second life for 12 years.

PLEASE OFFER A PAID VERSION OF BoM. 
I cannot download anything from the SL Marketplace that is FREE. 
I am excited to try it.

What problem are you encountering when you try to buy a free item?
BoM (bakes on mesh) is nothing more than the ability to use a system layer on a mesh body/head or other body part that is BoM compatible products that include a system/BoM layer can be bought free or for a fee what ever the seller decides to charge. If you've been in SL 12 years chances are you still have some system layer stuff in your inventory if you didn't ditch it all when you went mesh

Okay, just finished slicing through the Winter Shop and Hop LL Event.

I kept finding myself cringing at the complaints over and over and over about how laggy it is and what a mess it is. I was able to run through it all like a roller-skate flyer with an average of 35 agents (avatars) in each region!

Of all the events i've been to lately Shop and Hop was the least laggy with the exception of the region "Golden" yesterday and one stores booth where performance tanked. All i did was set my viewer to "show friends only" turn off water rendering in the advanced menu and drop draw distance to 64m which for me at least seems to be the optimum draw distance for events to get best performance

[Premium Prepay again]

This is so confusing. On the blog post, it says my next billing date is dec 10, 2019. That is wrong.

blog post?.. think you mean the accountpage.
Are you sure you look at the right place, because both those billingdates are shown there.

The blog post shows an example billing date of someone who is already premium with the December 10 date and the pre pay option not Yanik's personal premium billing date which would be found using https://secondlife.com/my/account/membership.php?lang=en-US my own pre-pay options give one up to 2021 and one up to 2022

 

[Why are so many HUDs so large?]

1 hour ago, Coby Foden said:

The body and head HUDs serve also other functions than just to change appearances. For example Maitreya body HUD has animations for the hands. Genus head HUD has animations for the face. So you need to wear those HUDs all the time if you want the parts to be animated (unless you wear an AO which has animations for the corresponding parts).

The Maitreya body also includes a smaller more discreet HUD just for the hand AO, I use a LeLutka head i selected all the animation sequences i want to use and they work with out the HUD i only really need it attached if i want to use the individual animations as i use BoM so depending on the body part there isn't always a need to wear main HUDs all the time for animations

[Hop and Shop - Your Favs?]

The only region i had problems with is Golden was like wading through sludge even as it dwindled down to a few av's and caused a log out or two when trying to get out of it. that really affected me not being able to get round as quick as i'd hoped i ended up having no time to sift through any off the goodies other than try one i bought and put the rest all in one folder to look through, through the next few days.
I only knew the Shop & Hop had started because i have a couple of the regions in my region tracker based on previous S&H events it wasn't as packed as i'd expect it to be so early on and the one store that in the past has given out a very time limited as little as 5% discount as a "gift" surprised me by giving out an actual gift this time

[Is there a place with makeup freebies for new users?]

The winter "Shop & Hop" is worth having a mooch around there are stores with free cosmetic gifts some are for specific mesh brands though as well as loads of other freebies. it covers 6 regions Gilded & Tinsled would be good places to start/end

[Do fancy nails matter?]

In RL elaborate nail designs are definitely a thing in the manicure industry there are contests are trade shows to see who can come up with the best sculpted designs and they are often featured in the trade mags. in SL there are stores that just cater to nails even specific types of nail. I'm not that much in to fancy nails in RL even less so in SL since they are so small on screen, i wear a nail polish that's part gold glitter and unless you cam in close that detail won't show the dark blue part will stand out more. there's nothing wrong with not being a nail fan

[The New Belli Victorians]

Ps. What's a VictoriBelle?

I'm guessing it's mashing up Victorian (theme) and Bellisseria to describe the new Victorian development. i quite like it however it reminds me of Victory Bell which are bells that were made out of the metal from German planes destroyed during WWII

[male body for GATCHA clothes?]

Gacha most typically implies you paid a Gacha to win one of the prizes listed on the machine. if you are seeing "Gerald" or rather Geralt that means that item of clothing was rigged for the Signature Geralt body and may not have a satisfactory fit on any other body Geralt along with Gianni are two male bodies by Signature there is also a female body called Alice that has been gaining traction with well known stores

will this work with bento shapes/maitreya-catwa etc

A bento shape is no different than a regular shape except you're creating on a certain bento head and/or body brand you are wearing. The shape will look different if worn on a different head/body combo. 

[-Bellisserians Show Off Your Home and Garden-]

Abandoned my trad a bit too soon in anticipation of the new theme, after a bit of Bellisseria fishing getting a few campers and houseboat managed to get this place in Heirlong not far from my last trad thought i'd make it a bit homely while waiting for the Victorians to get released

[Creating Custom Shapes For Selling]

All you need to do is go in to inventory and create a new shape, if you use Firestorm it can be found using the "+" icon. Then once you have the shape name it something other than new shape wear it and modify it in edit appearance mode like you would do any other shape. When you're finished right click the shape in inventory click "properties" and give it the permissions you wish the next owner to have

I've seen these ones at Blueberry might be what you're after

[Issues unpacking some Blueberry clothes]

Go to somewhere you can rezz like a sandbox, if you type sandbox in to world map a whole bunch will come up go in to your inventory rezz the items on the ground right click > open to unpack them to your inventory then you can safely delete the stuff you rezzed. Not all products come in HUD's or worn packaging that includes some sort of unpacker script

[When did you last see a Bellessarian home available?]

Well... I keep trying but no luck .

This afternoon I've seen up to three times those "Victorian" homes available, but when I tried to get mine the browser always said that it had already been delivered. It's quite frustrating, because seems to be a big delay with the brower info... or too many people trying to get the same home in time.  And of course, blocked again for refresh too fast

If you log out/in again the refresh count is reset. As frustrating as it is that you aren't able to click fast enough to grab a traditional. it wont be long before you get one i'm sure. sometimes homes take hours to go in to the pool and sometimes homes like my Anati one get a new owner faster than the time it took to auto return any object i had rezzed

[What's the Best Way to Keep on Top of the Bellisseria Victorian Linden Homes Situation?]

This thread has been where all previous official Linden Home announcements have been made

 

[The Problem With Trailers]

I don't find it unfair there was a time when 512sqm tier was all you got and your choices were to have a Linden home or 512sqm of mainland with 117 prims then the allowance got doubled to 1024sqm and the prim allowance increased so instead of having 117/234 prims to play with you now get 175/351 prims. There will be lots of people out there who will only have 512sqm of unused tier available but they still want a private bolt hole somewhere their choices are a camper or an old home. If you think you are being short changed ditch the caravan and get a traditional or houseboat

[When did you last see a Bellessarian home available?]

Campers have been coming up quite frequently on the homes page. Just managed to snag a property in heirlong not far from my old place it'll do until the new theme comes along
