Weimar! Presents;
1920s Electric stove
---------------------
Avoid disappointment, read everything below and come see item inworld!
*ABOUT THE OBJECT:
The electric stove has been around for over a century and really caught on in the late 1920s.
In a time when most people still cooked with coal, some started cooking with gas but electricity was the new thing, the word everyone was talking about.
The German company AEG started selling electric stoves to the public.
But they would remain a luxery for most people for quite a few years.
This is an exact reproduction of one of those first 1920s mass produced electrical stoves that hit the market.
The door opens and you get my Pots & Pans set for free with it.
Put it in your kitchen and you'll never cook with coal again!
*ABOUT ME:
I am a Dutch woman obsessed with history, in RL I am a researcher.
Europe in the first half of the 20th century, inspires me especially Germany during the Weimar Republic (1918-1933).
The objects I create are especially made for The

More below.
*SCALE:
Most avatars and Sims in SL have a totally unrealistic scale.
My avatar is about 6ft, just like I am in RL, compared to most avatars in SL I look like a child.
I build a sim in a more realistic scale and compared to SL in general things here are small.
That means that the objects I make are made for realistic avatars, if they seem small to you this probably is because you are big.
However, you can make these sofas bigger and adjust the animations to fit any size of avatar.
But because they are mesh, the land impact may go up when you enlarge them.
*INSTRUCTIONS
-Rezz the item called '1920s Electric stove' from the folder in your inventory with the same name.
-Right click and select 'edit' to move it or rotate into the desired position by clicking and moving the coloured arrows.
-Use this same window to change the size by selecting stretch.
-Once the stove is in position,
[2:22] Jo Yardley: simply left click its door to open or close it.
-'Wear' the wooden spoon and rez the 'Grey enamel deep pan soup mesh with animation' on the stove, then 'sit' on the stove.
You will start stirring the soup :)

*ABOUT MESH
If you make Mesh items bigger, they will usually start having a bigger land impact and cost you more prims.
The item should look good but from a certain distance it may look distorted.
To make sure you see mesh in SL at well as possible, you may need to change the settings of your viewer.
This generally isn't needed but if you think that mesh often looks a bit bad, you may try this;
-Click ctrl+D to add the 'advanced' tab to the options at the top of your screen.
-Click 'show debug settings'
-In the Debug Settings look for 'MeshMaxConcurrentRequests' and change the value to 128, this will not have an impact on how SL will work for you but it will make mesh look better.
-Sometimes you can make the land impact go down by linking mesh items, but sometimes the land impact go up.
Give it a try!
