Musings - Land Impact
I already have a post ready for tomorrow and in the scheduled bin, but I have been spending some time cruising the Marketplace and that got me to thinking.
I know that most of the folks that read my blog are fashionistas, bloggers or designers. We are not just out of the pod. Our tastes are for things that make us go, "oooooooh" and rightly so. There are plenty of those things to be found. Happily.
I haven't opened any of the freebies I found on the Marketplace; hopefully some will be things I believe you will want to see. What I did discover is that my personal criteria of "what's good" has definitely changed over the last year.
I went to a Marketplace shop of a designer I absolutely admire, a very well-know one. I looked at the goods to be found, in this case homes that I might add to MOSP. When I checked the prim count I literally gasped. 300 prims for a tiny house? Beautiful house, but 300 prims?
The rules have definitely changed -- in my mind anyway. When you can get a whole desk, chair and accessories set for ONE land impact the idea of a 300 prim TINY house is pretty much obscene. I know I have said this before, but tonight really brought it home. Time to move into the low land impact realm folks. Within the next year the high prim stuff will not be on shopping lists. I know that when I start running out of prims, the first thing I will do is replace primmy items with equivalent smart mesh ones.
I have about 3000 prims left to use; I plan to spend them wisely. I suspect that I am not alone. Don't get left behind.

Also, with changes coming to the sl viewer residents using shoes with invisiprims should be warned that the new viewer coming out in the near future is not equipped to allow use of invisiprims so its a good excuse for everyone to buy new mesh shoes as well. This was learned by attending office hours with LL and a meeting with the Firestorm staff where they discussed the coming changes.
Good blog topic!
So maybe there really is no need for you to wait. Find a primmy thing in your house and replace it with a 1 LI item and see if that works.
