-THE BASICS-
The original, broad aim of this project was to offer an enclosed 'town square' retail environment which could be placed on the common 4096sq/m plot size. It has a 60m x 60m footprint, leaving a clear 2m surrounding border on a regular, square shaped plot. Of course, each individual building has been designed so that it can be used in any configuration regardless of plot size. You could simply create a corner with two or three buildings or you could fill a sim, it's completely up to you. An inverted corner building has been included to allow for practically limitless expansion. Each building has just the one operational floor with second storeys providing decoration. This provides greater aesthetic appeal at a small prim cost.
-THE CONTENTS-
The default 4096-friendly layout weighs in at 322 prims. This leaves over 600 spare prims on a regular 4096sq/m lot. Here is a full rundown of the Sicilian inventory, complete with images:
===EVERYTHING IS COPY, MOD, NO TRANSFER===
Square ground - 4 prims. Additional prims provided.
Clock tower - 19 prims inc. base. The clock is only a dummy due to the resource issues inherent in running four functioning clocks on four faces. However, the hands can be rotated manually!
North buildings - 40, 33, 42 prims respectively.
South buildings - 36, 28, 36 prims respectively.
East building - 47 prims.
West building - 37 prims
Inverted corner - 32 prims. The name says it all! Open up your build with lots of snaking corners or simply use it to add some variation to a more conventional layout, the choice is yours!
N, S, E & W buildings are 200sq/m, NE, NW, SE & SW buildings are 300sq/m and the inverted corner building is 100sq/m. The default open space is 1600sq/m.
-THE PRICE-
The Sicilian Square set (nine buildings, town clock, external ground prims) costs L$5000. That's around L$500 per structure, which is some deal when you consider that everything is also copy/mod!
-AFTER YOU BUY?-
Anyone purchasing the Sicilian Square will receive full after sales service. If you need help rezzing or placing things or even assistance in customising your structures, don't hesistate to get in touch My offline IMs go to email and I'm also reachable by notecard.
-INSTALLING-
The sale package includes both a 'linked object' version - all 322 prims of the default setup rezzable in one fell swoop - and the individual structures. Most of the objects are sized in multiples of 10 to make things relatively simple, but here are some tips.
- before rezzing the linked object version, right click on an existing object and enter Edit mode. Once in edit mode, rez the linked object Sicilian Square. This will enable you to reposition the entire structure collectively. I would advise that you stick to integers in placing objects, the structure is 60m/60m and split largely into 10m/10m chunks.
- if you choose to place each object manually I recommend rezzing the 'sicily clock & base' object first. Set it down and build everything else around it.
- everything is copyable! if you like a particular building there's no reason why you can't use it in place of another like-for-like building.
