Are you a prim hog?

January 22, 2008

Prims.  They are necessary, of course, but they are limited.  And sometimes it’s a real problem to whittle the number of prims you’re using down to size.

 For the uninitiated, prims (short for primitives) are the basic building blocks of Second Life.  Whether you’re building a house, a piece of jewelry, an animal, a tree, a gun, a pair of pants, or whatever else you want to create, you need prims.

Which wouldn’t be so bad, but you have to keep in mind that where ever you’re going to put this object that you’ ve created, the region that you’re in allows only so many prims.  You can create an unlimited supply, you just can’t put an unlimited supply anywhere!

The same holds true if you’re renting someplace to live, or put a shop.  You are limited to a certain number of prims in your space.  That limits the amount of furniture (or shelf space in a shop) that you can have.

 I’m curious.  Do you, dear Reader, run into the problem of limited prims?  And if so, what do you do about it?
