  1. For when the "No Soliciting" sign isn't taken seriously enough.
  2. Just shave 11 LI off my set of Winter Premium Gift Lights (from 52 down to 41) by changing its physic type to none after linking a cube of physics type convex hull to it as root. Was hoping for more of a LI savings but it'll due for a month and save me from buying or making light strings.
  3. I suspect it'd be easy enough for them to just stop the updating of the map tiles for those regions for however long they want.
  4. Something different (SSPE359)
  5. Often I've gotten it to work by copying the link to an external web browser.
  6. Perhaps do a winter wonderland build up in a skybox. Or get a parcel on the snow part of mainland (Sansara?) for a couple of months.
  7. I suspect a too strong influence of a land barons lobbying group that prevents the Lindens from doing something like this.
  8. Sainte Helene + Bellisseria = inheritable as senile eels
  9. This thread always gives me the mental image of a calm pool of water frothing up after a chunk of meat has been tossed in.
  10. Yup, built them myself, and after several revisions I think I've found and corrected all the gaps and protrusions. LI for the room and garage I think is a little high, LI 17 each, probably because I went gable crazy.
  11. Here's my modified Winchester. I added a porch extension, spare room, and a garage. There's also a prim chimney that I'm fiddling with because I felt it all needed to be evened out. I wanted a tower but just couldn't figure out an elegant way to fit it in. Due to the off parcel landscaping I have no road access in the front thus the backward facing garage and a driveway taking up a good chunk of the backyard. I guess that I tend to make room for at least a dozen cars shows how fanatical I am about cars in SL. The backyard wall I originally created using the wall kit that came with the house, saw that its LI was over 70, then picked myself up off the floor and created my own that's LI 10. Though this far from done but I'm posting this because further progress is unlikely, I get super enthused when it comes to building but as far as decorating goes it's all I can do to get myself to put down a cat bed for Raven. That concrete slab for a patio is the result of a night of prodding myself to do something. I did add skins over the interior walls so that I could texture each room differently and, most importantly, I could texture them with something that didn't make me want to puke.
  12. Maybe I remembered the details wrong but I'm certain that you get a popup when trying to abandon land with your stuff still on it, so it'll take more then a single mis-click to accidentally abandon.
  13. Actually I believe it doesn't allow you to abandon until you've cleared all your stuff off first. I remember searching below and way above my parcels for a cube or something that ended up way up in the sky because I typo'd then forgot.
  14. I suggest re-evaluating everything you have in the house on a LI basis. All too often creators get lazy and put little or no effort into optimizing their creations and though their wine bottle, for example, may look incredible it has an outrageous LI of 10 (I wouldn't expect it to be more then 1). Being that the house itself isn't costing you any LI the 175 of your parcel should be plenty, you should be able to free up quite a lot by weeding out the heavier LI items and replacing with better optimized stuff.
  15. My first Linden Home was a Mountain View where I spent much time as a dangerous newbie experimenting with prims and scripts. One experiment I most remember was creating a room sized hollow cube and then for reasons I can't recall setting it Physical. Later I found it on top of the house sitting at a wonky angle, I cringe thinking what that must have done to sim performance as it wiggled its way up there. Can't recall anything special about the area it was in and after a while I decided I was better off building my own structure then trying to improve a Linden Home though I'd make repeated attempts in the future, my most outrageous example below. First mainland build was on Carrick. Learned a lot about first checking the area for issues like ugly neighbors, with tunnel vision I fell for the view of the ocean and grabbed a 512 sq.m parcel then soon expanded into the next two. Despite the ugly builds, and more that sprung up right in my view of the ocean, I had a blast building and realized I really should have given more thought to the internal setup before putting so much into the exterior. Just visited Carrick after I forget how many years and surprisingly things have improved there quite a bit. Still if I ever build again on mainland I'll likely pick a different location.
  16. Any system where a Linden is giving a home to a specific person would open the Lindens up to accusations of favoritism, that's my guess why there isn't and never will be a sign up sheet.
  17. They should have some sort of "all gone, but we're always making more" message in that menu
  18. My main complaint about my house is that due to the mole landscaping I can't bring a driveway to the front, I've manage to drive in/out the side but that involves dodging a bush and a tree. Also the whole neighborhood is kind of in a grid pattern and void of any bodies of water, boring compared to many other areas. But being what it took to snag the house I decided to just stick with it and adapt. Maybe after supply has reached demand I'll try for a better place, it's also pretty likely I'll get too settled in to ever move.
  19. Was once an old cemetery, they relocated all the old grave markers but can't come to an unanimous decision if they can get away with just leaving the graves.
  20. When I snagged my house about a month ago I had an auto-refreshing window open on the second monitor while doing work on the first monitor. I'd notice when the page refreshed and have my mouse over there in an instant, still saw a lot of boats and houses slip past before I finally got one.
  21. You need to do the following to increases your tier
