    Yep. New versions of homes for the Traditionals may tempt me back to Premium.

    Or @Mercedes Avonmakes me go Premium again when she is posting some mouthwatering interior pics from the Sakuras. ;)

    We shall see. Maybe they aren't released until Autumn, no need to buy Premium for me now.

    We will all slowly wear you down and lure you back to the Belli side. *evil laugh*

    And many times, some of us are just saying "Hello", and now regret even bothering. Too many have chips on their shoulders and mental issues - and you never know which one is going to get set off. By the posts on these forums, there are many, so why does anyone bother with the social space.

    Don't worry, I will never try to talk to you inworld, wouldn't ever want you to feel put upon or threatened or harassed.

    The only person ultra sensitive to interaction with others is you. I was replying to the OP and the situation she described. I certainly did not throw all men into one pile. I also wasn't referring to you or your posts. I pretty much ignored those like you suggested doing when someone annoys another. Try doing the same.

    There are a small handful of men like this in SL. These are the same men, who after asking you to verify your voice, will ask for a picture, for your age, and where you are from. For them, SL women are all on their buffet and they want to determine if you are RL shaggable before wasting their time talking to you. I also consider these type of interactions to be like a job interview but for a job I am not applying for.

    SL friendships (or SL only relationships for that matter) are not what they are after.

    To a certain extent, but then, there's a point when I feel that I'm rolling the dice for no good reason. Ennui has set in. Such a first world problem.

    Every time I attempt to downgrade my rolling avie, I land a house and then have to fret over which one I want to keep and which house I want to abandon. I do not know why I keep doing this to myself! 🤣

    So I took a copy of the picture and blew it up ten times bigger and then brought it into Photoshop and sharpened it up, and scanned my eyes over the entire imagine pixel by pixel, examining the windows, pillows, lounger/futon and even the pillow fight. I brightened the pic and then darkened it and it is very very obvious . . .

    It's gorgeous!!  The parcel looks sooo big!  I'm starting to wonder should I do that, have two premies so I can have two places.  Something to ponder. 🤔

    I keep telling myself I am going to reduce down to ONE premium account and then I get an itch to try a new theme but do not want to give up the amazing home I have so the endless cycle continues.

    I picked up my perfect stilt late one evening and I've spent days petting it, talking to it, telling it I love it, and giving it pretty furnishings and this is the result.  I have two perfect Linden homes (for my tastes). I am living the Belli dream!

    Premium = $99 - (300L/wk * 52 weeks / 250 L/$) = $36.60 /year

    Don't know where you live, Marianne, but where I live, that's:

    • About the same as taking a friend out for lunch, 1 beer/wine each
    • Much less than a tank of gas
    • A little more than half of what I pay for my once-a-week trip to the grocery store, buying for one person

    Enabler! And what Nika said.

    I picked up this stilt abandon late a couple of nights ago. This is what I call my perfect stilt parcel - on land, front to a road and back to open water. Now I have my home (modern) and my vacation home!

    THANK YOU to whoever gave up this lovely trad along the boat parade route, 16 homes in the region, facing west across the river.  Some green area for a garden, some sand down to the beach.  Just began decorating but thought I really needed to pause to give thanks.  I haven't often seen trads FACING the water, I'm really enjoying it.

    I owned that parcel for a short time. I gave it up ONLY because I got another one on the parade route I liked a smidge better. It's a very special parcel. CONGRATS!

    Why are so few bodies moddable? A discussion topic!

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    Someone correct me if I am wrong, but most bodies are one solid mesh minus the hands or feet, and even a lot of bodies do not separate those things. Thus, someone can not un-link their leg and re-link it to their hand, face or wherever strikes their fancy. Right?

    Hell, I can attach my body to my eyeball and it will pop into place because it's rigged. I would love the ability to remove the onion layers if I want to reduce complexity or remove the scripts if I don't want to be booted out of events because my body has dozens of scripts in it. You have the option to remove the scripts via the HUD with Maitreya (I think).  I remember and their new version makes the onion layers separate. Kudos! If other bodies are not willing to offer the same advantages, then I think they should offer the body as modifiable. Reborn offers a modifiable version of their body and so far I haven't heard that they are suffering any CSR nightmares.

    I do not know how removing all the scripts would effect BOM. Maybe someone else can explain how removing them would affect that (if at all).
