    Had to smile at @Marianne Little's comment about that "won't help" factor. I agree, but I am still going to do what I think is most prudent. I frequently vote for measures that don't pass, but if everyone decides it is useless to fight the status quo -- then it will ALWAYS be the status quo LOL.

     

    ANYWAY ---  This is kinda cute and only 35 lindens on a gacha. Eight colors of tulips I think.  Very good LODs (samples are out to see).  33,000 tris which is in that middle ground category -- for me anyway).   I was going to play for the scooter to hold the tulips but then noted that the odds were VERY VERY VERY bad (I know from reading the description and being in Gimme Gacha for so long and knowing what those numbers mean.)  So it was one pull for me.   They are 65 lindens on the aftermarket which seems pretty ridiculous, but hey. 

     

    Meanwhile wanted to repeat that "finding the less dense mesh within a creator's offerings thing.  While I was at Kustom 9 again I walked past Dustbunny's planters while finding the scooter gacha.  I only looked at two of them but while one was very high, a neighboring one was very reasonable.  So even if you decide to walk away from that dense mesh, it doesn't mean that you need to give up on favorite creators -- just be picky!  "D

    DUH --- PItaya 

    Right lane towards that back as you come in the door.   

    I, for one, am glad you call attention to that.  I had no idea.  I do love Nutmeg, and when I do a Trace public sim, Ioad up on her stuff for decor, never noticing if it causes big time lag for residents coming to visit.  The next one I do, will be more conscious of this, for sure...thanks :)

    For those who care, the Nutmeg set is first number deleted as wrong)   ------- triangles or so LINKED. I didn't add up the textures.    

     

    MAKE THAT 850,000 when I checked at the main store rather than from the cam sim.   No way to actually tell what the divider and throw way in at as there are no names to the mesh in the demo out. So if someone buys it and wants to let us know, I would be happy.  It is 4 li but that doesn't mean all that much really.  

     

    Thanks. 

    I have it rezzed...what am I looking for?

    I bought this set with my eyes closed ( got it by cam shopping ), I can't resist this store, I literally have every set they ever released.

    Anyway Roiro have this cute set for 99L and each are 1 LI, it's not perfect but it's very decent looking, i was out of prims and i wanted to add something outside, so this set saved the day, I like it, and it has some really nice setting animations:

    Hi all 

    I ve been trying to get an pier attach stilt for 3 days now, still haven t had the luck :(

    Love all your decorations :) I can t wait to post mine

    Yes, haven't seen any available for a few days now :(  It seems when they release these regions, that they do OW & OP first, so they have been taken earlier then the OL ones.  Will need to wait it out for other new regions to be released or someone abandons one here or there....

    Just wanted to note that from a BUILDING perspective, Hive is one of our best creators. So beautiful things CAN also be low LI.   Other brands are even higher than Nutmeg's (cringingly so) so I am very careful buying from those stores.   Apple Fall really knows his stuff too.  

     

    I have absolutely nothing against people importing mesh made by others. It is legal now (since Sansar and matching TOS rules). I just wish folks that use that method as part of their creative process  would learn how to get rid of some of those triangles AND make a decent physics model.  Both of those skills are  NOT that hard, certainly not as difficult as weight painting a skirt :D.   

     

    Our world would run MUCH better and could still be lovely -- and I would BUY MORE. 

     

     

     

     

    Totally agree!!

    @Chic AeonI always buy the C88 homes from Trompe, even if I don't need them. For maybe I need it in the future? I remember C88 started as 88 L for the things, but almost all stores does not do that price anymore. It is ridiculous with 288 L for a single top in a single color, so I often feel it is more expensive to buy there than other places. But I buy the Trompe stuff.

     

    Yes!!  Have to give her credit for sticking with the agenda :P  I also love the fact that she doesn't do rares for the holiday gacha at the place that I won't name, lol.  Nice & cheap for all.  Kudos to Cory Edo, she is not in it for only the money, but truly enjoys giving us a bang for our buck.  I always support her for that fact alone!

    Nutmeg makes me think about someone using salvaged wood from old buildings to make furniture, paint it with special paint that crack when it dries, uses sanding and dark vanish to make it look shabby chic. Artfully bleached textiles, new textures made to look old and fake wear and tear. Very chic.

    Totally agree!!

    Maybe this is the right place to ask for Nutmeg companions. I mean furniture/decor that work with Nutmeg. I really want to use the Nutmeg pieces I got. The problem is, I can't make them play well with others. Not even Apple Fall. Apple Fall does not look cluttered enough. Or is it that I don't pile several AF pieces on top of each other? AF has more "whole" fabric instead of the Nutmeg fabrics.

    I can find closeups of Nutmeg piled with some other items, but seldom whole rooms that's designed to stay up. Not just composed for pretty pictures. Most of images with Nutmeg look like arranged for a blog post.

    I am a big Nutmeg fan, along with my other faves, Apple Fall, Dust Bunny & Hive.  I constantly mix these guys up!!  Marianne, maybe do the opposite....style a room with mostly others, and add a Nutmeg piece or two to compliment?  Worth a try, have fun :)

    Anyone have recommendations for makers of floral or tropical print living room furniture?

    I've found plenty with menus to change the accent pillows, but the main part of the sofa or chair is solid or a subtle tone on tone stripe or something. The bolder prints I've found were plaids. Great for a woodland but I'm really feeling a floral or palm print for my altie's stilt. Wicker or rattan would be a bonus but I'll take any leads I can get. Thanks in advance.

    Apple Fall has the Lily Seating.  Comes in sofa or chair.  If I remember correctly, the wicker has 3 or 4 different wood tones :)  The print I love is the "Vines" that might work for you, also has a sailor stripe which is adorable.   Might be worth checking out!!

    Looking for advice.  I was trying to decorate only using stuff I had in my inventory already, so its a bit random in theme.  I picked sky and sunset colors and just started digging.  I found items I never unpacked in a folder of SLB17 freebie gifts ( the wire chair and the short table with 4 chairs) and some random gacha furniture.  Most of the furniture pieces are really short leaving me a ton of wall space to fill.  I could just unload my "Wall decorations" folder, but does anyone have any other ideas? More plants?  Random art? The walls just look so bare.

    Most of my decorated homes end up looking like motel rooms because I just haven't mastered the art of clutter like some of you have.  I still have 80+ LI to use, but will probably use 20 at least on deck furniture.  I haven't linked anything yet, so I'll have more when that's done.

    Edited to add - I am not opposed to spending $L.  I already had a kitchen, dining table, and that orange couch.  I did buy that Black Nest shelf with decorations from a 50L Friday sale, but only used the decorations because I already had a shelf I liked.  I also didn't like any of my bedrooms, so I bought a coastal themed set.  Help a gal out who has no natural decorating sense.

    Some type of wall unit w/decor already filled or a kitchen hutch or something on that big wall by the table & chairs

    Lol who gets these new regions anyway?  I've had one alt hopping 4-5 times a day, she hasn't seen a newly released parcel for 4 days.  Of course, tho, she's only looking at OL stilts.  There are a lot of abandons of those.

    I just now got sent to Palmetto Shores once, and two different ones @Lei Miz....Stilt on water though

    All day long no on Pier ... suddenly all types again!

    I thought they must have put a fresh region in the pipe and tried my five tries.

    What did I get? The same I had just abandoned (or yesterday) over and over again!

    This for instance - got ot twice in a row - now it is in maintainance.

    This. If you use Firestorm, you can watch on the map for the name on the parcel to change from Linden Home, then you can roll quickly before it gets tossed again. Otherwise, just be one of the creepy folks who stand around on a parcel after they toss it. lol

    Lol, slowly but surely, I'm learning all these tricks of the trade :P

    Assume it’s all out and you can’t “target” anything. Just roll and see what you get. If you stumble upon a new release, Roll it a lot if you love it or don’t roll it if you want to pass! This is really not any different from the traditional release in 2019.

    also, if you complain they will drop 1 region at a time and that was agonizing. So do you want a whole bunch out or 1 every other day, taken in 10 seconds? Can’t please everyone.  

    I'm not targeting anywhere in particular, really don't care if new release or abandoned...just don't want to get the same place three times in a row, out of my 5 tries :(

    I will never figure out how the mixing of new homes and abandons is done:

    I got the same home in Pelican Bayou three times over!! :(

    Yes, something is either messed up or they have changed things :(  If results are not better over the weekend, they are going to start losing money with me, lol.  Will downgrade my alts...

    ETA:  For me, only seems to be for the SoL...the others are not happening that way.

    Unfortunately, that can change in the blink of an eye.

     

    For my Houseboat, I wanted a square parcel and something that wasn't sandwiched between other parcels -- so open on at least one side.

    For my Traditional and upcoming Log Home search, I'm all about privacy.  I want to stand in my yard, on any side of my house, and not be able to look directly into someone else's yard & house.  I also prefer that any upper deck is also not looking directly into a neighbor's space.

    I don't like the Vics at all -- just not my style, so there is no search want there.

    The Stilts are just too open for my preference.  It would take way too many trees and bushes to give me the privacy I would want --- and that just seems to go against the vibe of what I think the Stilts are all about.

    I am looking forward to the Chalets that are coming.  I'm hoping for some locations with privacy similar to the Traditionals or Log Cabins.

     

    Chalets????
