The series itself was inspired by a customer who had a size 256 lot and needed a small, low-prim house to go on it. Each cottage in the series is designed to be used on a super-small lot as the main home, or as a guest cottage on a larger estate. Each one appears first as a Freebie of the Month, and afterwards, goes on sale. (Collect 'em all!)
This house, though, was built by a friend of mine who is a terrific artist, and at 187 prims,the full version has too many prims to fit on a 256 lot! It is little only in the sense of small, but it is so terrific, I wanted to offer it as a 'Lil Cottage, for those who have more land. This is an exception - after this one, we will be back to the low-prim 'Lil Cottages.
I have also included a less-detailed, 38-prim version for those who would like a similar build, but don't have enough land for the full version.
Arabian Nights is equipped with the verstile and easy-to-use NDE door locking system, and the windows tint for privacy (by clicking the small plaque inside the front door). And with Rez-Faux, setting up is a snap! Takes literally less than a minute!
The home measures 10 x 10.3 meters, and contains 187 prims (or 38 prims for the lower-prim version, and looks best with SHINY ENABLED.
And of course, it comes with freebie extras:
. Arabian Nights Rug - 1 prim
. Two Cushions, 2 prims each - 4 prims
. Stories from the Arabian Nights Decorative Book - 1 prim
. Picture - Arabian Nights by Edmund Dulac - 1 prim
All the freebies are copy/mod and separate from the house, so they can be easily moved or removed. But they will be set out when the house is first rezzed, for a total of 194 prims that will be rezzed (or 45 prims, for the lower-prim version).
TO SET UP YOUR HOME: Just take the box out of your inventory, and put it on the ground. Drag the version of "Arabian Nights in Rez-Faux" you want from the "Contents" tab in "Edit" to your inventory, and then to the ground. Then "touch" this little yellow box, click "Help," and follow the easy "Instructions for Buyers" inside.
LOCKING YOUR DOOR: The NDE door security system offers many options, including limiting use to specific avatars or groups, offering a greeting to visitors, and notifying you when someone uses or tries to use your door.
But basically, all you do to lock your door is left-click and hold over the door, and after a few short moments, your setup menu will appear. Then click "lock" or "unlock" to work the door. See the instruction notecard included in the box for all the other options. (Also included, an optional central controller for the door system.)
ABOUT THE CUSHIONS: To sit, click on the button in the center of the cushion, and click "sit here".
I hope you enjoy the 'Lil Cottage Series, and collect them all!
