Only way to get more prims to play with is to buy more land in that Sim. You can also try to use fewer prims for certain items to stretch current prims (i.e., there are some very nice 1 prim sofas out there, instead of putting down a 6 prim, or more, sofa).

If you're on the mainland, Shayna, you're limited to the 234 prims that come with a plot that size. The only ways round this hard limit, which all come with implications, are:

1. buy more land inside the same sim
2. create a group with yourself and your alt and deed the land to the group - groups are allowed a further 10% land holding free of further tier so you can up your landholding by 10% to give you an extra 23 prims (you still have to buy the land of course)
3. consider using a temp rezzer for things like high-prim furniture (but you will notice a flicker every time the rezzer rezzes, and it may add to sim script lag)

If you're on a private island, the owner can increase the number of prims supported by each parcel - but as that affects the whole island, he/she/it may not want or be able to do that.

However, that still doesn't change the 15,000 prim sim-wide limit. If a sim owner sets up his sim for 'double prims', he needs to reserve at least half of that land as non-buildable ares with virtually no prims, or the parcels will still run dry before the parcel prim limits kick in.

Well, there are those other methods :) Never used temp rezzers myself. Does the group one add prims, or just the ability to buy more land per tier limit? Ah, ok then I'm just stressing you need to also buy the land then to get the 23 more prims :) hehe.

Temp rezzers also do not circumvent the sim-wide prim limit. In fact, they make it worse, because in the small gap of time betwen when the temp prims are re-rezzed and the old temp prims go away, the prim count ofr the item doubles. And yes, the temp-rezzers definitaly DO cause lag. I had to remove a bunch of them because they were lagging the hell out of a new Class 5 sim. And all they were doing was replacing some prim stairways.

Thanks but no thanks :-)
