Setting Home

Hi, I have a small house which is set to my home. Is there a way to have a friend set this as her home too! She doesn't own land, but she stays at my place a lot so it would be nice to have her set it as her home, instead of having to click on a landmark.

Start a group with her and yourself in it, then she can set her home on your land. Or marry her.

You'll also have to deed the land to that group.

Brenda, was this a facetious answer, or can partners set land owned by their partner as home?

Sorry, partners really get no rights on each other's stuff, including land.

Fade is correct, the land would have to be deeded to the group for this to work.

If you choose to do this, be very careful how you set up the group role permissions.

I quess it was facetious. QED.

It'd be nice, but as you see, she'd have to co-own the land with you.

But it's really not that hard to get there using the LM method...

1. Have her make a habit of going to your place before logging off. Then when she logs in, she should select "Last Location" as her arrival point.

2. Organize her LM folder. I have a subfolder called "Special Places" where I keep the five or six LMs I use all the time. It takes very little more work to find one of these than it does to click on "World/Teleport Home".

That's a little misleading. Different group members can have different privileges, including essentially no land privileges if that's what you want. I'm not sure how paying for tier works for group-owned land on the mainland, but for a private island, with a competent estate owner, real ownership and the technicalities of group ownership are two different things.


These are both true, but there are other advantages to having a good home point. One is that you can sometimes be teleported home (e.g. by a security orb), and it's helpful if home is a friendly place. Another is that when some sims are flaky, it's useful to have a choice between the home location and last location.

The best method is to create a land group that has yourself and your special friend in it, assign both of you the group role permission that allows you to set home on group owned land, and then deed the land to that group. If you ever want to sell the land later, sell it back to yourself first, then set it for sale as usual.

The group roles and permissions have a bewildering array of choices, that can allow your friend to add and remove people on the parcel access and ban lists, do terraforming, place plants, set a music stream, and many other functions. Check each one carefully, as some, such as the ability to set the parcel for sale, you probably want to keep only to yourself.
