2013 2ndHELP: Owning a home in Second Life

Owning a home in Second Life
-

Linden Home

-

Before you get a house and land, there are some things you need to know.   I got that idea from seeing various questions in the Forums (a good place to post questions).  So I have gathered some of the common questions and provided some answers at a level that should fit beginners.

-
Full disclosure: Although I own land in Second Life, I have never felt inclined to have or furnish a house.  The information here comes from answering newcomer questions.

Prim limits
People entering Second Life for the first time usually start with a plot of 512 square meters. That comes along with a premium membership.  That land will allow 117 prims.  So some of the common questions come from exceeding the prim limit, "Why can't I rez the bed I bought."

Below are articles answering such questions,

• Language of the Virtual Village

• Land and houses 
• Home points and login settings
• Access control, parcels, regions and estates.

• Earning Money (or Lindens) in Second Life. 

To shop for furniture, type

into the search bar.  Classifieds and furniture will be the most productive sub-categories.
