Linden Home Challenge 2: Halloween

(click to enlarge)

Coming soon is the newest Linden Home Challenge in the fall issue of Prim Perfect magazine. What is the Linden Home Challenge? Simply put: Decorate a Linden home with budget of only 117 prim and have cost no more then 1500L. Sure it's hard, but not as impossible as you might think! This time the Linden Home Challenge takes place in an Elfin tree home in the Fantasy Lands of Elderglen. And not to make it too easy, a twist was added for a Halloween theme. My solution was the question, "What if vampires lived in trees?" Inside the issue I give tips and tricks on how you can make a Linden home look beautiful and do it on a tight budget. The new issue of Prim Perfect will be out soon, don't miss it!

NEWS: Starter Mesh Avatar Update, and Linden Home Survery

NEWS: The Linden Labs starter mesh avatars have been updated. As promised, the shapes are now editable and hover errors are fixed. But in a surprise, Sara, the blond female avatar has gotten a makeover. She has a new hairstyle and new shape.

NEWS: For SLB11, Prim Perfect is having a survey about what makes a strong community in SecondLife. It appears to me that survey hints that either Linden Labs might be considering a makeover to their Premium homes, or the survey will be submitted to them with ideas on how to improve the Premium homes. This is awesome news!

I wasted no time sending my ideas like: 

1) Upgrade the old homes to more modern mesh styles that make less land impact,

2) More texture, color options to customize the mesh Linden homes

3) More public gathering spaces, like in Linden Japan a Hot Spring

4) Game areas of course, for clowning around with your buds

5) A mentoring program. Residents can mentor new users and earn perks, perhaps a Linden Home?
