My son plays TSL and its harder to find certain objects. I understand that the games are seperate but the Adults should be able to send objects and textures over but a message gets sent to the Parents Email and they accept or deny and if they accept it shows up in there invo but of coarse no adult toys are anything inapropriate for the teens and only certain gestures and functions. And the teens should be able to sell them cause I know some of the teens including my son have a hard time making things and if they get objects and are able to sell them it would help them make some money and boost the TSL economy.

i am for keeping the grids separate, its the teens that must build their world, not us parenting em.

If i was in teen grid i would hate that someone make big cause mom n' pop are helping him

Well its not parenting them see unlike them we have everything we need its not hard at all to find anything. But for them to build houses its really hard to build a nice house and get good furniture cause they barley have anything im building my sons house for him and I can't find half of the stuff. But are you saying if you were a teen and its really hard to make money and you own land and you wonder if they can bring in some objects from our SL you wouldnt want that. But why would most people care in Second Life cause they have it and they dont care what happens in the Teen grid cause it doesnt effect them

If you have an object built in SL, using your own textures and everything, you can certainly use something like llEmail() to pass you the linkset parameters, textures, and scripts and recreate it in Teen SL.

You might be able to transfer something to your son by asking a Linden, the right one.

But why build his house for him? Isn't learning how to use the tools of the game part of the fun of playing it? He can (if you let him) copy textures from your computer into his game. You can copy the scripts you own into notepad and he can copy and paste them into a script in the game, although I would consider this in effect script stealing, it is possible.

But teenagers today in general are smarter and more tech savy than most adults. If your son isn't yet well this is the chance for him to learn. :) Let him read the wiki's. Let him watch you in the adult grid while you take a class at Teazers so he can use what he learns there in the teen grid later. Hell he might learn enough that way to be able to teach his friends.

I love my kids and I like doing things for them too. But they're happier, have more fun, and feel better about themselves when they learn something on their own.

And not to be too rule happy here.... but wouldn't it be against the rules of the teen grid for you as an adult to be in there using his AV? I assume thats what you mean when you say you're building his house for him.

IMO you should get your son to give building it a go. If it is as you say and the teen grid has very little of some things (such as furniture), then that means there is a market for it and the sooner he can get in there with his own products, the more profit he stands to make. If anything it teaches a valuable lesson in working for your money :)

I understand the desire to help, but part of the fun in SL for me, is building things myself and getting money in return for that work (even though it's leisure really since I enjoy it)!
